In University Place
University Place is a residential city west of Tacoma with mid-century homes, newer subdivisions and a lot of established neighborhoods.
Mid-century homes around University Place commonly still have original drain and supply lines in service, and repairs tend to reveal how they have aged.
University Place has a mix of home ages, and the age of the house is the best guide to what plumbing and wiring is inside it.

Questions
Does the price include the water heater?
No. $500 is labor with the unit you supply. Ask us if you want the unit supplied and we quote that separately.
What about a tankless or larger heater?
Those are outside the posted price. Send us a photo and the model, and we quote it before any work.
When do I see the price?
Before the work starts. You get the number from us when you call, text or book, and we confirm it before we begin.
