Plumbing Repairs
in West Seattle
Faucets, Toilets, Garbage Disposals, Water Pressure & More
Need reliable plumbing repairs in West Seattle? From dripping faucets and running toilets to jammed garbage disposals and low water pressure, Sasquatch Plumbing handles the everyday plumbing problems that waste water, damage your home, and drive you crazy. Our licensed plumbers arrive with fully stocked trucks and fix it right the first time — same-day service available throughout West Seattle.
Plumbing problems never happen at a convenient time. A leaky faucet might seem minor, but it can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year — adding hundreds of dollars to your utility bill. A running toilet wastes even more, up to 200 gallons per day. At Sasquatch Plumbing, we have been fixing plumbing issues across West Seattle neighborhoods like Admiral, Alki, Alaska Junction, Fauntleroy, Delridge, and High Point for years. Whether you need a quick fixture repair or a full diagnostic of your home's plumbing system, we provide honest assessments, upfront pricing, and repairs backed by a one-year warranty.
Many of West Seattle's homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s, which means aging galvanized pipes, outdated fixtures, and plumbing systems that are well past their expected lifespan. Our plumbers understand the unique challenges of older homes in this area and arrive prepared with the parts and expertise to handle anything from a simple washer replacement to complex leak detection and pressure valve repairs.
Faucet Repair & Installation in West Seattle
Expert faucet repair for kitchen, bathroom, and laundry fixtures throughout West Seattle
Dripping & Leaking Faucets
That constant drip from your kitchen or bathroom faucet signals worn cartridges, failed O-rings, or corroded valve seats. A single dripping faucet wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. We carry cartridges and parts for all major brands — Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Pfister — so most faucet repairs are completed same-day in under an hour. For older West Seattle homes in the Admiral and Alki neighborhoods, we also handle vintage and discontinued faucet models that require specialized parts or adapters.
Repair from $150 | Replacement from $250
Faucet Installation & Upgrades
Upgrading your kitchen or bathroom faucet? We install all styles including single-handle, pull-down sprayers, touchless models, and classic bridge faucets popular in West Seattle's craftsman-style homes. Our installation includes replacing supply lines, testing shut-off valves, and verifying leak-free operation. We also handle the tricky compatibility issues common in older homes — non-standard hole spacing, corroded shut-off valves, and galvanized supply lines that need adapters.

Toilet Repair & Replacement in West Seattle
Stop wasting water and money with professional toilet repair services
Running Toilets & Ghost Flushing
A running toilet can waste 200 gallons daily — that is $20 to $30 per month on your water bill. The most common causes are worn flapper valves, faulty fill valves, and misadjusted float mechanisms. Left unrepaired, the constant water flow erodes the flush valve seat, turning a simple $125 flapper replacement into a $350 flush valve rebuild. We diagnose the exact cause and fix it efficiently, typically in under an hour. For homes in Fauntleroy and Gatewood with older plumbing, we check for cast iron flange corrosion and subfloor damage that can develop from long-term toilet leaks.
Toilet Leaks, Clogs & Replacement
Water pooling around the base of your toilet indicates a failed wax ring seal — a problem that can lead to subfloor rot, mold growth, and sewer gas leaks. We replace wax rings, repair corroded flanges, and address the rocking or wobbling that breaks these seals in the first place. If your toilet clogs frequently, has visible cracks, or is an older model using 3.5 or more gallons per flush, we can install a modern high-efficiency toilet that uses only 1.28 gallons per flush — saving a typical West Seattle family over 13,000 gallons per year.
Repair from $125 | New toilet installed from $450
Garbage Disposal Installation & Repair
Same-day garbage disposal service — we carry replacement units on our trucks
Jammed? Humming but not spinning? Leaking from the bottom? Garbage disposals fail in predictable ways, and most problems have straightforward fixes when you know what you are looking at. We repair jams, replace worn mounting assemblies, and fix leaking discharge connections. When repair does not make sense — typically for units over eight years old with motor failure or internal seal leaks — we carry InSinkErator and Waste King replacement units on our trucks for same-day installation. Our standard replacement includes a quality 1/2 HP disposal, removal of your old unit, new drain gaskets, electrical connection, and testing. For homes in the Alaska Junction and Delridge areas with older cast iron drain pipes, we also handle the pipe modifications needed to ensure a leak-free seal.

Water Pressure Problems & PRV Replacement
Protect your plumbing system with proper water pressure management
Water pressure issues are especially common in West Seattle due to the hilly terrain. Homes in higher-elevation neighborhoods like High Point, Gatewood, and Arbor Heights often experience pressure above 80 PSI — which sounds great in the shower but quietly damages appliances, stresses pipe joints, and causes premature failure of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) regulates incoming water pressure to a safe 50-60 PSI range, protecting your entire plumbing system.
On the other end, low water pressure can indicate clogged aerators, corroded galvanized pipes restricting flow, hidden leaks, or problems with your main water line. We test your system, diagnose the root cause, and provide targeted repairs. If your low pressure is caused by aging galvanized pipes — common in pre-1960 West Seattle homes — we can discuss repiping options that permanently solve the problem.
PRV replacement from $450 | Pressure diagnosis from $125

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Repairs
How much do plumbing repairs cost in West Seattle?
Plumbing repair costs vary by the complexity of the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a toilet flapper run $100 to $200 for the service call. Faucet repairs typically cost $150 to $300. Clearing a drain clog ranges from $150 to $400. Pipe repairs cost $200 to $600 per section, and water heater repairs run $200 to $800. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work so you know exactly what to expect — no hidden fees or surprise charges.
How long do most plumbing repairs take?
Most common plumbing repairs are completed within one to three hours. Faucet repairs typically take 30 to 60 minutes. Toilet repairs run one to two hours. Garbage disposal replacement takes about an hour. Drain clearing usually takes one to two hours unless the clog is deep in the line. We carry common parts on our trucks, so most repairs are completed in a single visit with no return trips needed.
Do you offer emergency plumbing service in West Seattle?
Yes. Burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater flooding, and complete loss of water are true emergencies that require immediate response. We offer emergency service with fast response times to all West Seattle neighborhoods. For urgent situations, call (206) 888-4641 and we will dispatch a plumber as quickly as possible. For non-emergency repairs like dripping faucets or running toilets, we schedule at your convenience during regular business hours.
Should I repair or replace my old plumbing fixture?
The repair-versus-replace decision depends on the fixture's age, repair cost, and efficiency. If repair costs exceed 50 percent of replacement cost, replacement usually makes more sense. Faucets under 10 years old are usually worth repairing. Toilets over 20 years old that use 3.5 or more gallons per flush are often better replaced with a modern 1.28 GPF model — you will save thousands of gallons per year. Garbage disposals over 8 years old with motor failure should be replaced. We always give you honest repair-versus-replace advice based on what saves you the most money long-term.
Why is my water pressure low in my West Seattle home?
Low water pressure in West Seattle homes commonly results from clogged faucet aerators, a failing pressure reducing valve, corroded galvanized pipes restricting flow, or hidden leaks in your system. Many older homes in the Admiral, Alki, and Fauntleroy areas still have original galvanized steel pipes that corrode internally over time, gradually reducing the pipe diameter and restricting water flow. We diagnose the specific cause with pressure testing at multiple points in your system, then provide targeted repair options.
How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance?
Annual plumbing inspections are ideal for most homes to catch developing problems before they become expensive emergencies. West Seattle homeowners with plumbing over 30 years old should consider inspections every six months due to age-related risks. Schedule water heater flushing annually to remove sediment. Have your main sewer line inspected every two to three years if you have mature trees near the line. Preventive maintenance costs far less than emergency repairs and helps you avoid the inconvenience of unexpected plumbing failures.
