Plumber in Washington, UT
A lot of the calls we get for a plumber in Washington come from newer homes, where the builder handed over the keys and the hard water, high pressure, and builder-grade fixtures started showing their age a few years later. We come out from Ivins, give you the price before we start, and tell you straight what's worth fixing.

New construction in Washington Fields, Coral Canyon and beyond
Washington has grown fast, and much of the new building is south of the Virgin River in Washington Fields, in communities like Stucki Farms, and out in Coral Canyon. New homes often come with a softener loop plumbed in the garage and nothing hooked to it.
If your home is still under the builder's warranty, call them first for anything they built. Once you are past that, or you want upgrades the builder didn't include, that's where we come in.
That empty softener loop in your garage
Washington City water is hard, like the rest of Washington County. Running it straight through a new house means scale in the water heater, white crust on the shower glass, and faucet cartridges that stiffen up within a few years.
We install softeners on the existing loop with a bypass valve and a proper drain line, set it to a sensible grain level, and show you how to check it. If you only want better drinking water, a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink is another option.
Water pressure, PRVs and expansion tanks
Street pressure in parts of Washington County runs high, so many homes have a pressure regulator on the main line. When a PRV starts to fail, you see banging pipes, toilets that run, and leaking relief valves on the water heater.
A home with a PRV is a closed system, which is why code calls for an expansion tank on the water heater. We check both, replace what's failing, and test pressure before we leave.
Water heaters and tankless upgrades
Bigger homes in Sienna Hills and Green Springs often call about running out of hot water, or about switching to tankless. Tankless can work well here, but hard water is the number one thing that shortens its life, so a softener or a descaling plan has to be part of the conversation.
We'll also check whether your gas line is sized for the unit you want. You get honest advice on tank versus tankless before you spend anything.

Plumber in Washington: questions
My new home has a softener loop but no softener. Can you add one?
Yes. That loop is there so a softener can be added without opening walls. We install the unit, the bypass valve and the drain line, set it up, and show you how to keep salt in it.
Should I call you or my builder?
If your home is still under the builder's warranty and the problem is part of what they built, start with the builder. For anything outside that, or upgrades like a softener or tankless water heater, call us.
Why does my water heater relief valve keep dripping?
Often it is high pressure or a missing or failed expansion tank. We test the pressure, check the PRV and expansion tank, and tell you which part is actually the problem.
Do you cover all of Washington?
Yes, from Green Springs and Sienna Hills to Washington Fields and Coral Canyon. We also cover St. George, Hurricane, Santa Clara, Ivins and Kayenta.
