Plumbing Services
Everett · Snohomish & King County
Almost nobody plans a plumbing call. It starts with a sound, a smell, or a wet patch that wasn't there yesterday.
What decides how the rest of your week goes is whether the person who shows up can carry the whole thing — find the fault, price it honestly, pull the permit, do the work, and still pick up the phone if it acts up again in November.
Danika Plumbing & Electric runs the full range of plumbing services from one shop on Airport Road in Everett: fixtures and faucets, drains and sewer lines, water heaters and gas piping, and the whole-house work that arrives when a system ages out. Washington-certified plumbers, WA L&I registered, bonded and insured, permit filed and inspection booked wherever one is required.
The full list
Plumbing services we handle, start to finish
Some of this is a Tuesday-afternoon fixture swap. Some of it is a crew, a permit and a length of open trench. Each of the thirteen below has its own page with the honest detail.
Water heaters
No hot water, rust in the first draw, or a tank popping with sediment. We repair what's worth repairing and replace what isn't — gas or electric, tank or tankless, vented and expansion-tanked properly.
Tank & tankless work → DrainsDrain cleaning
A cable machine and a camera, not a bottle of caustic gel sitting in the trap eating pipe. Kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains — plus a straight answer on whether the drain is even the problem.
How we clear a line → DiagnosticsFinding hidden leaks
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, pressure testing and meter isolation pin the water down behind drywall or under a slab. Locate it precisely and the repair opens one small area instead of a wall.
Leak detection methods → UndergroundSewer line repair
Several fixtures backing up at once, gurgling toilets, or a smell in the yard usually means the lateral. We camera first, then lay out spot repair, trenchless relining and excavation with honest tradeoffs.
Trenchless and dig options → High pressureHydro jetting
A cable punches a hole through a blockage; jetting scours the wall back to full diameter. Right for grease lines, scale and root hair — wrong for cracked pipe, which is exactly why we look first.
When jetting is the right tool → Whole houseRepiping
Galvanized closing up from the inside, polybutylene, copper past its useful life. When pinholes start repeating and pressure drops the moment a second tap opens, patching stops paying. PEX or copper.
What a repipe involves → UrgentPipe repair
Burst lines, pinholes in copper, split joints, and the crawlspace runs that let go after a hard freeze. Stop the water first, then fix the section so it doesn't fail again next winter.
Burst and frozen pipes → FixturesToilet repair
A toilet that won't stop running is usually a flapper or fill valve. Water at the base is usually a failed wax ring, but it can be a cracked flange — a different job entirely. Replacements fitted too.
Running, rocking, weak flush → Wet seasonSump pumps
Pit, float switch, pump, check valve, discharge line — most failures are one component, not "the pump died." We service, install and fit battery backup, because storms here take the power too.
Pumps, floats and backup → FittingsFaucet repair
Compression, ball, cartridge and ceramic disc faucets fail differently and need different parts. A drip at the spout, a weep at the base and a damp cabinet each point somewhere else.
Drips and leaking bases → Under the sinkGarbage disposals
Humming without turning is a jam. Silence is power, switch or reset. A leak comes from the sink flange, the dishwasher hose or the drain elbow, and which one decides repair versus replacement.
Jams, leaks and swaps → Room by roomKitchen plumbing
One connected system: supply lines, shutoffs, faucet, basket strainer, disposal, dishwasher supply and drain, plus the gas line if there's a range. We service all of it, and rough in remodels before cabinets land.
Sinks, lines and remodels → GasGas line installation
New runs for a range, dryer, BBQ, fire pit or standby generator, plus repairs to existing lines. Sizing to total BTU load, sediment traps, a real pressure test, permit included.
Gas piping and testing → DrainageFrench drains
Ground that stops taking water sends it at the foundation instead. A trench cut to a real slope, perforated pipe, washed rock and a discharge that actually ends somewhere — not a gravel strip that silts shut in three winters.
Yard and foundation drainage → CommercialCommercial plumbing
Grease interceptors, backflow testing, large-diameter waste lines and shared stacks, scheduled around your opening hours. For restaurants, salons, clinics, retail and multi-family buildings.
For property managers →Call to finish
How a job actually runs
No mystery meter, no vanishing subcontractor, no line item you didn't agree to. This is the shape of nearly every visit, cartridge or sewer lateral.
A person answers
Describe what you're seeing. We'll tell you over the phone whether to shut the water off before we get there.
We diagnose
Camera, meter or pressure test as needed. Guessing is how people pay twice for one problem.
Written price
You see the number, and the options behind it, before a wrench turns. Say no and you owe us nothing further.
Permit filed
Where the work calls for one, we handle the City of Everett or county paperwork and meet the inspector ourselves.
Tested and tidy
We run the fixture, watch the joints, clear the mess and tell you what to watch.
Diagnose first, quote second — in that order.
Plumbing repair services go sideways when someone prices a symptom instead of a cause. A slow drain that's really a failing lateral, or a "bad" water heater that's actually a stuck mixing valve, costs a homeowner twice.
After hours
The calls that can't wait for Monday
Water is the one building material that keeps working after you've gone to bed. A supply line that lets go at eleven at night doesn't pause; it soaks subfloor, insulation and drywall for as long as it takes to find the shutoff. So the first thing we ask on an emergency call isn't about the pipe — it's whether you know where your main valve is.
In much of the local housing stock it sits in the crawlspace near the front hose bib, in the garage on the wall facing the street, or out at the meter box in the parking strip, which wants a meter key. Find yours on a dry afternoon and label it — that's what turns a flooded floor into a wet patch.
Genuinely urgent, in our book: an active burst or spraying line, sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain, a water heater leaking onto a garage slab, gas you can smell, and a sump pit filling during a storm with nothing running. Freeze events are their own category, since a cold snap after weeks of mild rain catches uninsulated runs in crawlspaces and exterior walls.
We keep a line open outside business hours, and daytime calls get slotted the same day when the schedule allows. Timing is worth being blunt about, though: across the trade, after-hours and emergency call-outs bill at roughly two to three times standard rates, so part of that first phone conversation is an honest read on whether your problem needs a truck tonight or holds safely until morning.

Phone rather than filling in a form when water is moving — we can talk you through shutting it down while the truck loads.
Who we work for
Houses, and the buildings between them
Residential plumbing services are most of our week, and the local housing stock shapes what we see. Mid-century neighborhoods around Everett and Marysville still hide galvanized supply lines narrowed to a straw, and clay laterals with maple roots in the joints. Subdivisions in Mill Creek, Lynnwood and Lake Stevens are reaching the age where original fixtures, angle stops and water heaters all retire at once. Newer builds have their own quirks — manifold systems, tight mechanical closets, tankless units nobody has descaled since handover.
Crawlspaces instead of full basements is the other regional fact that changes everything: leaks stay invisible longer, the ground under your floor stays damp for much of the year, and plenty of homes lean on a sump system that only proves itself during the storm you'd rather not test.
There's a third thing, and it separates the city from the county wrapped around it: what these houses burn. Census figures on heating fuel show Everett running far more electric than Snohomish County as a whole, and a house that doesn't heat with gas frequently has none plumbed in at all — which tends to mean the water heater, the range and the dryer are electric as well.
| Heating fuel | Everett | Snohomish County |
|---|---|---|
| Electricity | 29,817 units (67.4%) | 162,166 units (52.0%) |
| Utility (natural) gas | 12,526 units (28.3%) | 123,231 units (39.5%) |
| Occupied units counted | 44,255 | 311,825 |
What that means in practice is that a lot of plumbing work in Everett arrives with a circuit attached to it — a tank swap that needs its breaker checked, a disposal that turns out to be a dead switch, a tankless unit the panel can't actually feed. Out in the county the same job is more likely to be a gas fit, sized and pressure tested.
On the commercial side we handle the plumbing that keeps doors unlocked: restaurant grease lines, restrooms in offices and retail, backflow-protected supply, water heaters sized for real demand, and tenant improvements timed around a business that can't close. Commercial work lives or dies on scheduling, so we work evenings and early mornings when a building needs it.
One more thing worth knowing, because it's unusual among plumbing contractors around here: we're a two-trade shop. Kitchen and bath remodels need both, and so do disposals, tankless units, sump circuits and water heater swaps. Rather than coordinating two companies, our licensed electrical division works off the same dispatch board, under the same name.
Why us
The kind of outfit you can call a second time.
Washington doesn't let just anyone touch this work, and for good reason — bad plumbing shows up as rot, mold and a failed sale years after the invoice cleared. Our plumbers are certified, the company is L&I registered, bonded and insured, and we're the same people who answer when it needs looking at again. Plenty of plumbing contractors are a phone number until the check clears; we'd rather be the one you save in your contacts.

Service area
Where the trucks go
Home base is 11015 Airport Road in Everett, and the working radius covers most of Snohomish County — Mukilteo, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Monroe, Arlington, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace and Bothell — then south into King County for Shoreline and Kenmore. Being genuinely local matters more than it sounds: we know which permit desk to call, which streets sit on old clay laterals, and which crawlspaces flood in a wet February. On the edge of that map? Ask anyway — a local plumber should mean somebody who can actually get to you.
