Terry came out to fix our clogged kitchen sink. He was very professional and polite. Put up with my dogs jumping all over him and my 5 year old trying to talk to him the entire time. The price I think was high but I didn’t shop around. I went off the good reviews. In total it cost $1500.00 to power snake our kitchen drain and replace the plumbing under the sink. I was thinking it was gonna be a few hundred but I’m not an expert so…. I was give the price before any works was started. Anyways, my sink is draining and I can use my kitchen sink again, so I’m happy.

Austin was super nice and easy to work with. He unclogged our kitchen sink drain and gave us a bunch of good information on how to prevent it from happening again. Austin, my husband said you liked our child proof door lever lock on the door to the stairs, bought it on Amazon, here’s the description: Door Lever Lock (3 Pack) Prevents Toddlers from Opening Doors.

Skagit Plumbing is the best! We had three non-urgent issues that needed care and they were here exactly when they promised. Having a text from Luke when he was on his way was very helpful. Luke was professional and friendly and very efficient at his job. We really appreciate the work he did with excellent results. And the follow up by the staff! Thanks all around!

When I had a drain problem I called Gary's. I've always had great service from them in the past and this time was no exception. Brandon and Noah were quick to find the issue and get it resolved. They were both polite, professional and obviously very knowledgeable. Really great attitudes. Thank you Gary!

We recently finished a large multi-item project with Marr's and we couldn't be happier with the results. We're new to the Bellingham area and back in the spring of 2024 we felt our 22 year old furnace was on the verge of giving up. We asked our neighbors for some recommendations and Marr's was mentioned more than any other company. The new furnace install went great and we we're thankful to have a reliable heat source once again. Fast forward 18 months and we decided it was time to try and reduce our propane use. We worked with Marr's to come up with a plan to replace our 22 year old tanked water heater with a more efficient tankless heater, install a heat pump add-on to work with our furnace and have the ducting cleaned and sealed. The tankless water heater and heat pump were installed at the end of Oct and the cleaning and sealing of the ducting was done last week. Every single person that Marr's sent out to work on our home or that I spoke on the phone with was friendly, courteous and professional. It was such a great experience with all of the above mentioned projects and I can't recommend Marr's enough.

Phil came to service my heat pump and gas fireplace yesterday. He spent an hour on each appliance, taking the fireplace completely apart to check and clean, and checking all components of my relatively new heat pump. Marr’s maintenance plan is very affordable and their technicians are well trained. I have enjoyed their services for several years and highly recommend this company.

We recently had Marrs Heating install a new furnace and AC system in our home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional. Jacob and Wyatt, the technicians who handled the installation, were outstanding. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Their attention to detail and care for our home really stood out. It’s not often you come across a team that combines technical expertise with such a friendly and respectful approach. Marrs Heating and their techs truly exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing heating or cooling services.

Scott and Chris did a great job changing my hot water heater today. They were professional, punctual, and the price ended up being lower than I expected. They didn't try to upsell me on anything--just honest, hard work. I was also impressed with the person in charge of scheduling; she was transparent about pricing, and got my service scheduled within 2 days. I highly recommend Sullivan Plumbing, and will use them in the future!

Cody and Chris from Sullivan Plumbing did an outstanding job installing our new hot water heater and bringing everything up to code. They were incredibly professional, kind and easy to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail really stood out and after the installation they walked my wife and I through everything thoroughly and explained each step to a T. The quality of their work and the level of customer service they provided were excellent. I highly recommend Sullivan Plumbing and I’m extremely grateful for the fantastic job Cody and Chris did!

We had a complete home replacement of all our ancient and corroded galvanized steel to copper, new pressure tank, new outdoor spigot, new shower fixtures and whole home filtration. Nick and his crew were excellent and brought a lot of care and attention to detail to everything they did, nothing seemed rushed or half done. They were easy to talk to and communicated well all throughout the process, Sullivan dispatch was very responsive as well, and they were able to get us water running at the end of every work day. He went above and beyond on this seven day job! Two weeks after the work was completed and everything is working perfectly. Thank you Nick and crew!

Travis was awesome! We noticed a leak in our system when our water bill started creeping up. He fit us in ASAP and fixed the leak in our main water line! He and James were professional, expert, and friendly. Their prices are fair and they will come out, even on a weekend, to help you out in a pinch! I would absolutely use them again for any plumbing problems with my home!

Travis Ferris of Special-T Plumbing is the best plumber we’ve ever used in 38 years of home ownership! On the day we moved into our new home in Whatcom county, our water heater started leaking and needed replacement ASAP. Our home inspector recommended Travis, so we called him - this was on a Saturday afternoon! He located the water heater model that we needed and was able to install it that evening, so we had hot water the first morning in our new home. Since then, we’ve had Travis install a garbage disposal, replace pull-down faucet cartridges and a frost-free hose bib, and perform other plumbing repairs. All work is performed skillfully and with great care, and with complete clean-up afterward. Travis always does his best to accommodate the customer’s scheduling needs whenever possible, and he he keeps his promises. He provides a one-year labor warranty, and his prices are reasonable. Give him a call for your plumbing work - you’ll be glad you did!

We had a push/pop drain in the bath tub that kept getting stuck in the locked position so would have to physically hold up the drain to drain the tub. And the shower pin to swap from bath to shower stopped working. We reached out the Grizzly and they were amazing!! Great communication, scheduled same week, and they replaced all the issues so we have a working drain and shower again!! They were a wonderful price and great customer service. Will only be using them in the future!!

Cade Hall is an excellent plumber. He replaced some faucets in a bath tub other plumbers couldn't. He won't do unnecessay work. He explains what he is doing, and his fees are fairly priced. I highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs. He is punctual and communicates well with phone texts and calls.

I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Grizzly Pipeworks Plumbing. From the first call with Dawna, who was professional, kind, and quick to get everything scheduled, to Cade’s outstanding work on-site, the entire experience was top-notch. Cade installed a new grinder pump system and made sure every part — from the check valves to the discharge fittings — was replaced, cleaned, and tested to perfection. He took the time to explain what was being done, worked efficiently, and left the area spotless when finished. The difference in performance is night and day, and I finally have peace of mind knowing the system is running as it should. It’s rare these days to find a company that combines skill, integrity, and customer care like this. I would absolutely recommend Grizzly Pipeworks Plumbing to anyone needing reliable, professional plumbing services. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future work.

Owner Jeff Schwandt has earned my respect with his punctuality, customer service, and mechanical capabilities. Jeff has personally performed all the necessary repiping and fixture installation in my home following a broken pipe flood that took out my kitchen, laundry room, and one bathroom earlier this year. Jeff's attention to detail and extreme care, as well as his thorough review of all of his work after it was complete not only put my mind at ease but assured that no call backs were ever necessary. Today, I had the misfortune of another leaky pipe fitting. Fortunately it was in my crawl space and did no damage to any part of my home. Jeff was contacted late this morning. he put me on his call list, and was out this afternoon. Jeff repaired my leaky pipe quickly and efficiently. And at a very reasonable price. Chuckanut Plumbing will always be my go-to company for home plumbing repairs and upgrades. Call Jeff with your plumbing service needs. I really believe you will be glad you did.

Jeff was amazing. Woke up with no hot water and no idea what do to. Reached out and got a response almost immediately. He happened to be in the neighborhood and was able to stop by and evaluate the situation. In ten min he explained what the issue was, multiple options for a solution and then a quote. He recognized the urgency of a family not having hot water and was able to reschedule a non emergent afternoon appointment and was back same day in the afternoon to resolve. His response was excellent, his work professional and his knowledge on point. He left the job site clean, and all issues questions resolved. Having Chuckanut Plumbing in your contacts is a must!

I can’t say enough great things about About Plumbing. They recently did plumbing work for us as part of a house remodel on a remote island, and they were outstanding from start to finish. Working in a remote location adds a lot of logistical challenges, but their team showed up completely prepared every time. They were on time to the boat, had all the tools and materials they needed, and clearly took the time to plan ahead. That level of professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their pricing was also very fair, especially considering the added complexity of working on a remote island. We felt like we received excellent value for the quality of work and service they provided. We had a change order during the project, and they handled it without any hassle. They were flexible, responsive, and communicated clearly throughout. Even after the job, their support continued. When I called the office to pick their brain about a water heater, they were incredibly helpful and generous with their time. They provided a ton of useful information and really took the time to make sure I understood my options. It’s rare to find a company that combines quality workmanship, reliability, fair pricing, and top-notch customer service the way About Plumbing does. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way. — Jarrod

I have had excellent experiences with this plumbing company. They installed a new kitchen faucet and installed a hot water tank. Very professional, reliable and friendly. The lady plumber (Tricia) was amazing! She was knowledgeable and very good communication skills! I highly recommend them! Recently had to have my backyard faucet replaced. I asked for Tricia again because she is so knowledgeable and does excellent work! Phil came with her and he was very good as well! They had to make an access hole in the house in order to access the pipes and I was impressed with how careful they were to take accurate measurements before cutting. They provided a cover plate (see photo) and the hole was not that big. Excellent work! August 2025 I had water pressure trouble and Tricia and Noah were able to pinpoint where the leaks were in my house and assure me that the leak was not outside! They replaced all my bathroom faucets and rebuilt my toilet which had both the tank gasket and floor wax seal blown! They were courteous, friendly and professional. They clean up after themselves and do excellent work! They work well together as a team and I will most definitely request them for any future plumbing work. I highly recommend them!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Bellingham, Washington

Bellingham's unique mix of historic Fairhaven charm and modern Pacific Northwest living means drain issues can range from century-old clay pipes to modern grease clogs. Navigating the local plumbing market can be a headache when you're dealing with a backed-up sink or a flooded basement. That’s where we come in—taking the guesswork out of finding reliable help in Whatcom County.

Instead of you calling down a list of every plumber in the city, we do the heavy lifting for you. We scan our network of certified Bellingham experts, filter them by your exact zip code, and personally call to confirm they can handle your specific drain emergency today. Whether you’re near Western Washington University or out by Lake Whatcom, we ensure you get a verified pro who is actually ready to work.

Common Drain Issues in Bellingham, Washington

Tree Root Intrusion: With Bellingham’s lush greenery and heavy annual rainfall, tree roots are constantly seeking moisture. In older neighborhoods like the Lettered Streets, roots often penetrate aging sewer lines, causing slow drains and eventual total blockages.

Historic Pipe Corrosion: Many homes in the Columbia and Fairhaven areas still feature original cast iron or galvanized piping. Over the decades, these pipes develop internal scale and narrow significantly, catching hair and soap scum more easily than modern PVC.

Kitchen Grease Build-up: During those chilly Whatcom County winters, fats, oils, and grease (FOG) solidify much faster inside your pipes. This leads to stubborn 'fatbergs' that require professional hydro-jetting to clear completely without damaging the line.

Heavy Rain Overflow: Bellingham's significant rainfall can overwhelm older perimeter drains and basement floor drains. If your outdoor drainage isn't clear of debris, you risk water backing up into your home during a typical PNW downpour.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Bellingham, Washington

Fall Leaf Clearing: Before the heavy November rains hit, ensure your outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts are clear of maple and alder leaves to prevent perimeter flooding.

Winter Pipe Protection: When temperatures drop near the bay, ensure your crawl space is properly insulated. Frozen pipes that crack can send debris downstream, causing major clogs once the system thaws.

Spring Root Maintenance: As Pacific Northwest vegetation wakes up in the spring, consider a preventative camera inspection if you live in a wooded area to catch invasive root growth before it breaks your pipes.

Summer Guest Prep: With summer tourism and guests visiting for hiking and biking, your guest bathroom drains will see more use. A quick enzymatic cleaner treatment can prevent organic buildup before your house gets full.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Bellingham, Washington

$175-$450

Prices in Bellingham typically depend on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. A simple snake job for a single sink is more affordable, while hydro-jetting or main line clearing in older Bellingham homes may fall on the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Bellingham, Washington

How quickly can I get a plumber in Bellingham?

Because we verify availability before you book, we often find pros who can arrive within a few hours, even in busy areas like Sunnyland, Barkley, or the South Hill.

Are the plumbers in your Bellingham network licensed?

Yes, we only work with certified Washington State plumbers who are familiar with local Bellingham building codes and the specific challenges of Whatcom County infrastructure.

Does the heavy rain in Bellingham affect my drains?

Absolutely. Heavy PNW rain can saturate the ground, putting pressure on sewer lines and potentially causing 'bellies' in pipes or forcing silt into exterior drainage systems.

Do you service all zip codes in the Bellingham area?

Yes, we filter through our local network to find a pro specifically for your Bellingham zip code, ensuring they are nearby and can provide rapid response times.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Bellingham?

In older residential areas, it is usually a combination of invasive tree roots and aging pipe scale. In newer developments around Cordata, it is often a buildup of grease and household debris.
