Wells, Waterfront Lots and Hillsides in Gig Harbor
Many Gig Harbor homes outside city limits use private wells and septic systems. We work on the plumbing in your home and the line out of it, not septic tanks. Well water can carry iron, manganese or hardness, which can stain fixtures and wear on water heaters. A water quality test shows what is in your water.
Waterfront and hillside lots can mean long, steep pipe runs and tight access. Wet winter rain and big conifers add stress to buried lines. Inside city limits, check with the City of Gig Harbor about work that needs sign-off. Outside city limits, check with Pierce County Planning and Public Works.

Gig Harbor plumbing questions
We do not pump or install septic tanks. We work on the plumbing inside your home and the line out of it. That covers drains, toilets, water heaters and the pipe that carries waste out of the house. For the tank itself, you will need a septic company.
Well water can carry iron, manganese or hardness, and iron often leaves stains. We start with a free water quality test that shows what is in your water. Then we explain whether a softener or whole-house filtration makes sense. If you do not need one, we tell you.
Inside city limits, check with the City of Gig Harbor. Outside city limits, check with Pierce County Planning and Public Works. Many homes on the peninsula sit outside the city, so it is worth asking. We can talk through your job and the next steps when you call.
