Lakewood

What is different about a Lakewood job

The city checks the license first. Lakewood issues its own permit for a water heater replacement through the city permit center, and the application asks for a registered plumbing contractor. The WA L&I license on this page is what that line needs. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.

The water is Lakewood Water District's up to the meter and yours after it. A leak between the meter box and the house is plumbing; a leak at the meter or in the street is the district's. In a cold snap the pipes that split are on outside walls, in crawl spaces and at hose bibs with a hose still on, so find the main shutoff before the first freeze.

Where the main shutoff usually is. 1 the meter box at the street, 2 where the line enters the house, often in the garage, 3 in the crawl space. Turn it clockwise until it stops.

Questions

Questions Lakewood homeowners ask

Do you work in Lakewood?

Yes. Lakewood and the neighborhoods around it are in the service area, with the same license, bond and insurance as in Tacoma.

Who issues the permit for a water heater in Lakewood?

The City of Lakewood, through its permit center. The application names the plumbing contractor, and the city checks the registration before it issues the permit. Where a permit is required, it is a separate item on the quote.

The relief valve on my water heater drips. Is the heater failing?

Usually it is the valve, or pressure building in a closed system. An expansion tank takes the pressure; a new valve takes a worn valve. The tank itself is in question only when water comes from the bottom or from under the jacket.

No water at one tap in a cold snap. Is the pipe frozen?

Likely. Leave that tap open a crack, warm the room it is in, and keep any flame away from the pipe. If the pipe split while frozen, the leak shows when it thaws, so know where the main shutoff is before it does, and call once you see water.
