Emergency Plumbing in Gig Harbor: what is different here

A Gig Harbor emergency can mean a split pipe in a waterfront crawlspace or a backup on the line out to a septic system. We work on the plumbing in your home and that line, not septic tanks. Call any hour, and we dispatch help as soon as possible from across the Narrows Bridge on SR 16.
