Plumbing Services in Gig Harbor, WA

Gig Harbor’s architectural diversity — from 1960s waterfront cottages to modern estates — means our plumbers regularly work across a wide range of pipe systems, fixtures, and layouts. Here’s what Pelican Plumbing handles for Gig Harbor residents:

• Whole-Home Repiping (PEX & Copper) — Gig Harbor has a substantial stock of homes built before 1990 with galvanized or early copper pipe. We replace full systems with modern PEX or copper, typically completing single-family homes in 1–2 days.
• Gas Line Installation & Upgrades — From propane hookups for waterfront outdoor kitchens to natural gas line upgrades for kitchen appliances and fireplaces, we handle all gas line work with Kitsap County permits managed on your behalf.
• Tankless Water Heater Installation — We install gas and electric tankless systems from leading brands. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates tankless units reduce water heating costs by 24–34% compared to conventional storage tanks — a meaningful saving in Gig Harbor’s larger homes.
• Luxury Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels — Gig Harbor homeowners invest heavily in their properties. Our plumbers handle the full rough-in and finish scope for kitchen and bathroom renovations, including custom fixture selections and complex layouts.
• New Construction Plumbing — We work with builders throughout the Gig Harbor Peninsula, designing and installing plumbing systems for new single-family homes, ADUs, and commercial spaces from the ground up.
• Commercial & Multi-Unit Plumbing — From Gig Harbor’s growing restaurant and retail corridor along Point Fosdick Drive to multi-unit residential buildings near the waterfront, we handle commercial-scale plumbing that most residential plumbers won’t take on.
• Backflow Prevention — Required for many commercial and irrigation connections in Pierce and Kitsap County. We install, test, and certify backflow prevention devices to keep your water supply protected.
• Emergency Plumbing — For burst pipes, failed water heaters, or suspected gas line problems, call (360) 551-1981 and we’ll dispatch as quickly as possible.

Gig Harbor’s Plumbing Landscape

Gig Harbor sits across the Narrows from Tacoma, connected by the Tacoma Narrows Bridge — which means our Bremerton team reaches Gig Harbor efficiently via Highway 16. The city’s rapid residential growth over the past two decades has created neighborhoods ranging from established waterfront properties with aging infrastructure to modern developments with high-end plumbing specifications.

Older Gig Harbor homes — particularly those built in the 1960s through 1980s in neighborhoods like Artondale, Rosedale, and along the bay — often have galvanized steel supply lines that have reached or exceeded their useful life. According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, galvanized steel pipe has an expected lifespan of 40–70 years. Homes with low water pressure throughout, rust-colored water, or pinhole leaks at joints are strong candidates for a full repipe evaluation.

New Construction Plumbing on the Gig Harbor Peninsula

The Gig Harbor Peninsula continues to see active residential and commercial development, particularly in areas like Artondale, the Highway 16 corridor, and near Costco on Point Fosdick. Pelican Plumbing partners with general contractors and independent builders to deliver reliable new construction plumbing from initial rough-in through final trim-out. We coordinate directly with Kitsap and Pierce County inspectors and keep projects moving on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gig Harbor Plumbing

Q: Does Pelican Plumbing serve all of the Gig Harbor Peninsula?
A: Yes. We serve the City of Gig Harbor and surrounding peninsula communities including Rosedale, Artondale, Wollochet, Purdy, and Fox Island. We also serve Tacoma and the broader South Sound for commercial projects.

Q: My Gig Harbor home has low water pressure everywhere — what causes that?
A: Whole-house low pressure is often caused by corrosion buildup inside aging galvanized pipes, which narrow the interior diameter over time. Other causes include a partially closed main shutoff, a failing pressure regulator, or a water main issue. A licensed plumber can diagnose the cause — call (360) 551-1981 for an evaluation.

Q: Do you handle gas line work in Gig Harbor?
A: Yes. We install and upgrade natural gas and propane lines for all applications, including kitchen appliances, fireplaces, generators, and outdoor cooking setups. All gas work is permitted through the applicable county jurisdiction.

Q: Are your plumbers licensed in Washington State?
A: Yes. All Pelican Plumbing technicians hold Washington State plumbing licenses through the Department of Labor & Industries. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation on every job.

Q: How far in advance do I need to schedule?
A: For planned work like repiping and remodels, we typically schedule 1–2 weeks out. For urgent situations, call us directly at (360) 551-1981 and we’ll work to accommodate you as quickly as possible.
