3. Talk to the plumber directly, ask for a written estimate, and decide whether to hire them. Payment is made to the provider, only for work the homeowner agrees to.

Spokane Plumbing Facts Every Homeowner Should Know

Winter is hard on pipes. Spokane winters bring hard freezes, and pipes in crawl spaces, garages, sprinkler lines and exterior walls are the most likely to freeze and split. The City of Spokane Water Department lists finding the main water shutoff valve as a first step, because closing it quickly limits damage, and warns never to thaw a pipe with a torch or other open flame.

Keep the heat on. The American Red Cross recommends keeping the thermostat at the same temperature day and night during extreme cold, and no lower than 55°F when away from home. Source: American Red Cross – Preventing & Thawing Frozen Pipes · Checked: November 7, 2026

Small leaks add up. According to the EPA’s WaterSense program, easy-to-fix household leaks can waste nearly 10,000 gallons of water per year in the average home. A dripping faucet, a running toilet or a slow leak behind a wall also raises the risk of mold and structural damage. See How to Check Your Home for a Hidden Water Leak.

The side sewer belongs to the homeowner. In the City of Spokane, the property owner is responsible for maintaining and repairing the entire side sewer, the pipe from the house to the public sewer, including the part under the public right-of-way.

Common Questions

Is Spokane Home Help a plumbing company?

No. Spokane Home Help is a referral service. Calls are connected to independent, third-party plumbing providers serving the caller’s area, and those providers do the work. Learn more on the About page.

Who is paid for the plumbing work?

The plumbing provider, directly, and only for work the homeowner agrees to. Ask for a written estimate before any work begins.

Can a plumber come at night or on weekends?

Schedules and rates are set by each provider. Ask about timing and any after-hours fees during the call, before agreeing to a visit.

What should be done while waiting for the plumber?

Shut off the main water valve if water is leaking. For a leaking water heater, turn off its power or gas supply and close the cold-water valve on top of the tank. Move valuables away from the water and take photos for insurance. See What to Do When a Pipe Bursts.

How can a plumber’s registration be checked?

Search the business name on the Washington L&I Verify tool. It shows whether the contractor registration and bond are active, whether tradespeople are certified, and any safety citations or bond lawsuits.
