"Yes Gerardo and his crew did an amazing job. We were fully impressed with the work that was done, so much so that that we recommended him to our friends and neighbors. His approach also was very friendly and he was willing to answer any questions we had about the project . He did a lot of the interior work also for us not only painting the interior walls but also they did the flooring for us. We also had them replace a some of our windows. He put in some very nice touches by installing some beautiful lights outside and inside. Our deck was falling apart and considering our budget we opted for a nice stair way leading to the backyard. The money we allocated for the deck we also used that to have Gerardo and his crew put up an extension to our roof in the back. All in all they are very talented and I would highly recommend them for your next project."

We have been serving the Greater Puget Sound area since 1982. Today we serve all of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties. South West focuses on customer service as the differentiating factor between our company and other plumbing, heating, air, and electric contractors in the area. Our expertise, support staff, and quality work will earn your business for years to come.

"We Had Southwest Plumbing come to our house to attatch a hose bib that my husband wasn’t able to do because of the angle of the piping. He had the crawl space totally accessible and plenty of room to it as well as cob webs etc cleaned out of there. Hose bib was already removed from house. We also had a new hose bib on hand. It took the plumber 7 min to do the job. They quoted 1048.00 and we assumed they would deduct a couple hundred off when the job was done, it could not have been easier for the plumber. Again 7 min job…….. I have reached out to them 3 times to talk to Andrew which I’m sure is a manager. He has NOT returned our call. A call back and parcial refund would make all the difference as the plumber did his job well. With assessing the job they were at our house a total of 50 minutes and it cost over a 1000.00, very unacceptable. We are hoping they will make this right."

FAQs for water heater repair or service projects in Lakewood, WA

Warning signs include fluctuating water temperatures, a pilot light that repeatedly goes out, unusual noises from the tank, or complete heating failure. You might also detect a rotten egg smell, indicating a potential gas leak, or notice water that never reaches the proper temperature. If your water heater is over eight years old and displaying these symptoms, the gas valve is a likely culprit. Professional inspection is recommended, especially if gas odors are present.

Water heater gas valves are not universally interchangeable. Each valve must match your specific water heater's make, model, and specifications. Important compatibility factors include gas type (natural gas vs. propane), BTU rating, connection types, and physical dimensions. Using an incorrect valve can result in poor performance, premature failure, or dangerous gas leaks. Always consult your water heater's documentation or a professional plumber to identify the appropriate replacement valve for your unit.
