University Place's Go-To Plumber
Expert plumbing for University Place homes. Professional service with a personal touch.
Expert Plumbing in University Place
University Place is a vibrant community adjacent to Tacoma, and Bee’s Plumbing & Heating serves its homeowners with comprehensive plumbing solutions. From the neighborhoods near Chambers Bay Golf Course and Sunset Beach to Bridgeport, Cirque, and the areas along Grandview Drive and Bridgeport Way, we handle every residential plumbing need.
University Place’s housing developed primarily from the 1960s through the 1990s, with some newer construction in the waterfront and Chambers Bay areas. Homes from the 1960s-70s commonly have aging copper supply lines, original water heaters well past replacement age, and sewer laterals that may be affected by root intrusion from UP’s mature tree canopy. Properties built in the 1980s-90s are entering the first major maintenance cycle for original components.
UP’s varied terrain — from the Puget Sound bluffs at Chambers Bay to the rolling residential hills inland — creates different plumbing challenges. Bluff-side homes face coastal salt air corrosion and steep-grade sewer laterals. The Chambers Creek estuary area has high groundwater. Inland neighborhoods experience standard suburban plumbing issues but may have higher water pressure from elevation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing in University Place
Yes — properties near Chambers Bay Golf Course and the Puget Sound bluffs are exposed to salt air that corrodes outdoor plumbing fixtures and fittings. Bluff-side sewer laterals navigate steep grades and can be affected by soil movement. We use marine-grade materials for exterior work and camera-inspect hillside sewer lines to assess their condition.
Water pressure above 80 PSI stresses every component of your plumbing system — pipes, joints, valves, water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine. It also wastes water and causes water hammer noise. We install pressure reducing valves (PRVs) to bring your pressure to the optimal 50-65 PSI range, extending the life of your entire plumbing system.
Yes — we're experienced with the steep-grade sewer laterals common in University Place's bluff and hillside neighborhoods. We assess the line via camera inspection and recommend the most appropriate repair method. Trenchless options are often possible even on slopes and minimize the excavation challenges that hillside terrain creates.
Our comprehensive inspection checks water heater age and condition, supply line material and pressure, all visible drain lines, shut-off valves, fixtures for leaks, hose bibs, and the sewer lateral via camera. We provide a written report ranking issues by urgency. For UP homes 30+ years old, this inspection is valuable preventive care.
We serve all of University Place including Chambers Bay, Sunset Beach, Bridgeport, Cirque, the Grandview Drive area, and all surrounding neighborhoods. Response time is typically 35-40 minutes.

★★★★★
Marcos L came in person to my condo to provide an estimate for my main and sink emergency shut-off water valve repairs, and was prompt, polite and very professional. Marcos patiently explained everything, and then he returned personally to do all of the work necessary and brought Chris. They made a great team and it was truly a pleasure having them in my home. Marcos clearly has a lot of experience and expertise, and with Chris expertly assisting did a great job shutting down and restarting the water for the entire building, replacing valves and pipes, and going above and beyond making extra sure any needs I had were taken care of. Marcos tool great care to only cut tiny holes big enough for the new pipes so i don't even have to hire a drywall repairman to patch them. And they cleaned up the entire working area and left it clean and tidy. I would definitely hire Bee's Plumbing again. My last experience with them was excellent as well. I hope Marcos is available next time I need a plumber. I can't wait to do my laundry today and it is wonderful to know my plumbing is safe and secure for my daily needs. No more worry about flooding or leaks! Thanks Marcos L and Chris

Jordan H. was an absolute expert when installing our toilets and shower heads. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable as first time homebuyers. He informed us of the process, was transparent when answering questions, and ensured outstanding cleanliness during installation. He even went out of his way to make the installation areas look cleaner than they were before. I’ll definitely continue to use their services for my home, and would recommend them and especially Jordan H. to anyone.
