What is different about a Kent job
The city's plumbing permit covers the water heater. Kent's residential plumbing permit is written for work like replacing a fixture or a hot water tank in the same spot, and the city schedules a safety inspection after the work is done. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
Whose meter it is depends on the address. Kent has more than one water provider: the City of Kent for much of the city, and Highline Water District, Soos Creek Water and Sewer, Lake Meridian Water District or Covington Water District for other parts. The name on the water bill is the one to call for a leak on the street side of the meter; from the meter to the house, it is plumbing.

Questions Kent homeowners ask
Do you come out to Kent?
Yes. Kent, the valley and both hills are in the service area, with the same license, bond and insurance as in Tacoma.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Kent?
Yes. The City of Kent issues a residential plumbing permit for a hot water tank replaced in the same spot, and schedules a safety inspection afterward. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.
Every drain in the house is slow at once. What is that?
The main line, the one pipe every fixture drains into. Cabling it through the cleanout is light drain cleaning. If it backs up again within weeks, or sewage shows at the lowest drain, roots or a broken section are the cause, and that takes a camera and a jetter, a different kind of crew.
How do I shut the water off to the whole house?
The main shutoff is where the line enters the house: the garage, the crawl space, a utility closet or a ground box near the street. Turn it clockwise until it stops. If there is no valve inside, the meter box at the street has one, and a meter key or a wrench turns it.
