Puget Sound Plumbing & Heating serves homeowners, renters, and businesses throughout Kent with 24/7 plumbing, drain cleaning, sewer repair, and water heater service. Kent is one of South King County’s largest and most active markets for us — a city with diverse housing and a wide range of plumbing needs across its neighborhoods. From the established East Hill and West Hill communities to the newer developments near Meridian and the older Kent-Des Moines corridor, our licensed technicians are familiar with the plumbing challenges specific to each part of the city. From our Burien base, we reach most of Kent in 15–20 minutes. Call (206) 938-3219 any time.
Kent’s mix of 1970s–1990s single-family homes, apartment complexes, and light commercial properties keeps our team busy with everything from repipes and water heater replacements to sewer line repairs and emergency drain cleaning.
Kent’s housing stock is heavily concentrated in homes built between 1970 and 1995 — a construction era that produced a large volume of homes with plumbing systems now entering their most failure-prone period. Polybutylene supply lines, which were commonly installed in Pacific Northwest homes from the mid-1970s through the early 1990s, are particularly prevalent in Kent and are known to fail without warning. If your Kent home was built in this window and you haven’t had your water supply lines inspected, it’s worth doing. We also see a high volume of water heater replacements in Kent — most units from this era are well past their 10–12 year expected lifespan.
Kent’s East Hill neighborhoods — particularly the areas around 104th Ave SE and SE 256th St — include a large number of homes on older septic systems that have been connected to city sewer over the years, sometimes with aging lateral connections that now need attention. We handle sewer lateral inspections, repairs, and replacements throughout East Hill and the wider Kent area. If you’re buying or selling a home in Kent, a sewer scope inspection is one of the most valuable things you can do before closing.
Kent’s commercial and light industrial corridors — particularly along the Valley Floor — also generate a steady stream of plumbing work. We service commercial kitchen drain lines, grease traps, industrial process plumbing, and multi-tenant commercial buildings throughout the Kent Valley. If you manage a commercial property in Kent, we offer scheduled maintenance agreements to keep your plumbing systems running without emergency surprises.
Looking for a specific service in Kent? Jump directly to what you need:
Q: How fast can you get to Kent for a plumbing emergency?
A: We typically reach Kent in 15–20 minutes from our Burien location. We’re available 24/7, 365 days a year — no extra charge for after-hours calls.
Q: My Kent home was built in the 1980s — should I be concerned about my pipes?
A: Possibly. Homes built between the mid-1970s and early 1990s in the Pacific Northwest may have polybutylene supply lines, which are prone to failure and are no longer considered an acceptable material. We can inspect your supply lines and let you know whether a repipe is needed.
Q: Do you perform sewer scope inspections in Kent?
A: Yes. We offer sewer camera inspections throughout Kent — a service that’s particularly valuable if you’re buying or selling a home, or if you’ve had recurring drain issues. We’ll show you the footage and give you a clear diagnosis before recommending any repairs.
Q: Do you service commercial properties in the Kent Valley?
A: Yes. We work with commercial and light industrial properties throughout the Kent Valley on drain cleaning, grease trap service, process plumbing, and emergency repairs.
