Plumbing services for Arlington homes and businesses, from a licensed plumbing company working out of Everett.
This town makes most of its own drinking supply. The City says it draws from three sources — the Haller Wellfield, the Airport Well and a connection with Snohomish PUD — and Haller has been the main one since 1906, still covering about 85% of what the city uses.
Here’s the part people miss. The City states that the service line from the meter to your house is privately owned and is the customer’s responsibility. Same story underground on the waste side: city code puts the pipe that carries wastewater out to the public main on the owner’s tab.
Then there’s the Stillaguamish. When it runs high, the County warns about flooding at Island Crossing and along Highway 530 east of town. So a plumbing visit here often starts with a question of whose pipe it is, and whether the ground is part of the problem.
Not sure if the leak is on your side of the meter? Ring us. We’ll help figure out whose pipe it is before anybody starts digging.
Danika was established in 2009, and Frank Gaborik took it over in 2016. Our shop is on Airport Road in Everett, and our service area page groups this town with the north-end communities we reach quickest.
We’re a plumbing and electrical company under one roof, and our plumbing services cover homes and light commercial work alike: supply lines, waste lines, tanks, sump pumps and fixtures. We file permits in every city we list.
What does a visit look like? Usually a short conversation first. Where’s the water showing up, how old is the house, is it on city service or a septic system? Then a plan in plain language, and you can request a quote before any repairs start.
Because the City treats the line from the meter to the structure as private, a break on that stretch lands on the owner. We see this pattern a lot: a soggy strip in the lawn that never dries, a water bill that jumped for no reason, or a meter that keeps spinning with every tap shut off.
That last one is a free test you can do tonight. Turn everything off and watch the meter for a few minutes. If it moves, something’s leaking.
Good news on lead, at least. The City’s preliminary inventory found no lead service lines and no galvanized lines downstream of lead, and it says all but about 1,000 customer-side lines are confirmed lead-free (the rest are listed as unknown material).
Our write-up on a main line to the house leaking covers the warning signs. For the actual hunt, see our tracing plumbing leaks underground page. Once it’s found, the plumbing repair is usually the easy part.
Arlington Municipal Code 20.60.200 requires a side sewer permit for any connection to the public system, and work in a public area, or opening into a public main, can only be permitted to a licensed, bonded contractor or a qualified City employee. Section 20.60.210 says all costs of installing, connecting and maintaining the side sewer are borne by the owner.
Everything you flush ends up at the City’s Water Reclamation Facility, which serves about 4,800 residential and commercial customers and discharges to the Stillaguamish River or the City’s constructed wetland.
Camera first. A sluggish sink and a broken pipe can look the same from inside the house. A camera run shows roots, sags and cracked joints, so you’re not paying to dig a hole in the wrong spot. It also tells us whether it’s a job for drain cleaning or a dig.
Roots are a regular. Older clay and concrete lines let roots in at the joints. Here’s how we spot roots in a buried line before they close it off.
Rural lot? City code only allows a new private system when several conditions line up, including a lot of five acres or more outside the Aquifer Recharge Area and no public sanitary line within 500 feet, and it requires a hookup once a public main is available. Our outside line replacement options page explains trenchless and open-trench work.
The City’s quality report (2022 data) lists total hardness of 28–40 mg/L at Haller and 81–95 mg/L at the Airport Well, so what reaches your tap isn’t identical across town. The same report showed lead and copper results under the action level in all 30 homes sampled in 2021.
Why should that matter for hot water? Minerals settle at the bottom, and sediment is what makes that popping, rumbling sound. We flush units, replace anode rods and swap the ones that are past saving.
The City’s permit list includes residential plumbing and mechanical permits, and we pull what the job needs. Routine maintenance, like an annual flush, is cheap next to a flooded floor and an emergency repair.
Snohomish PUD offers up to $1,000 when a qualifying heat pump model replaces an existing unit (apply within 90 days). Weighing a fix against a new one? Our repair-or-replace guide walks through the cost side, and our sizing and brand notes cover the rest.
The City’s own emergency page calls fats, oils and grease a major contributor to clogged public lines, and asks people to pour it into a container and throw it out. We’d add coffee grounds and “flushable” wipes to that list. Neither breaks down the way the package suggests.
Most kitchen backups we open up are a grease plug a few feet past the trap. A cable punches a hole through it. Jetting scrubs the pipe wall clean, which is why the clog doesn’t come right back. That’s the difference between a quick fix and real drain cleaning.
It isn’t all houses, either. The Cascade Industrial Center, a joint effort with Marysville covering just over 4,000 acres, adds industrial and commercial buildings, each with its own restrooms and kitchens. We handle commercial plumbing too, and jetting a grease-packed line is regular plumbing work for us.
The County’s Stillaguamish flood phases are read at the Arlington gauge. At Phase 4 it expects major flooding, with Highway 530 east of town and Island Crossing named outright. In December 2023, the Herald reported the river topped its all-time record.
You don’t have to live next to the river to get water under the house, though. Heavy rain on saturated soil finds crawlspaces all over the valley.
Try this in October: pour a bucket into the pit. If the pump hums but doesn’t empty it, replace it before the storms.
See our pit and pump installs, and when the cold snaps hit, our notes on frozen pipe repair.
Our emergency plumbers are on call 24 hours a day and cover this town along with the rest of the north county. First, shut the main valve. Keep kids and pets away from any sewage. Then phone us.
If the backup is on the public side, the City runs its own emergency line for problems in its mains, and we’ll tell you if that’s who you need. Details on our round-the-clock plumbing help page.
Serving Arlington from end to end, from Old Town and Haller City to Gleneagle, Kent Prairie, Smokey Point and the businesses near the municipal airport. From our shop it’s a straight run up I-5, then east on 172nd Street (SR 531), or up SR 9.
Heading south? We also serve neighbouring Marysville, and our home base is our Everett shop. Everything else is on our list of all 25 cities we cover.
From three sources: the Haller Wellfield, the Airport Well and a connection with Snohomish PUD. The City says Haller has been the primary source since 1906 and supplies about 85% of its needs.
You do. The City states that service lines from the meter to a structure are privately owned and are the customer’s responsibility.
Yes. City code section 20.60.210 says all costs of installing, connecting and maintaining it are borne by the owner, and 20.60.200 requires a permit for any connection to the public system.
The City’s preliminary inventory found no lead service lines and no galvanized lines downstream of lead. It says all but about 1,000 customer-side lines are confirmed lead-free, with the rest listed as unknown material.
Only in limited cases. City code allows a private system when all of its criteria are met, including a lot of five acres or more, outside the Aquifer Recharge Area, with no public main within 500 feet, and it requires a hookup once one becomes available.
Snohomish PUD offers up to $1,000 when a qualifying heat pump model replaces an existing water heater. The PUD asks for the application within 90 days.
Describe the plumbing issues you’re seeing and roughly where they are in the home. A photo helps too. We’ll tell you whose pipe it probably is, what we’d check first, and what it’s likely to take.
