Tacoma’s architectural character — from early 1900s Victorians in the North End to mid-century homes in Hilltop and new construction near the Tacoma Dome District — means every job comes with its own plumbing challenges. Pelican Plumbing is equipped for all of them:
Tacoma is one of Washington’s fastest-redeveloping cities. Its older residential stock — particularly in neighborhoods like the North End, Proctor District, Hilltop, and Beacon Hill — is packed with homes built between 1905 and 1965 that carry galvanized steel plumbing or early copper systems. These pipes corrode from the inside, gradually restricting flow until the system fails entirely.
According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, galvanized steel pipe has a typical lifespan of 40–70 years. That means homes built before 1985 should be evaluated by a licensed plumber before failure becomes an emergency. If you’re seeing rust-colored water, low whole-home pressure, or recurring leaks at fittings, a repipe evaluation is the right next step.
Pelican Plumbing serves all of Port Orchard and South Kitsap County with the kind of licensed, honest plumbing work that local homeowners and contractors trust. From Bay Street downtown to South Kitsap’s newest subdivisions, we bring real expertise to every job.

Tacoma’s active development pipeline — including residential towers, mixed-use redevelopment along Pacific Avenue, and new single-family construction in South Tacoma — creates ongoing demand for commercial and new-construction plumbing expertise. Pelican Plumbing partners with general contractors and developers for ground-up plumbing installation, coordinating with Pierce County and City of Tacoma permitting offices throughout the project lifecycle.
We’re a family-owned business from Bremerton — not a franchise, not a dispatch center. Our licensed plumbers handle your job personally, and our work carries full Washington State licensing and insurance. What Tacoma clients can expect:
Q: Does Pelican Plumbing serve all of Tacoma?
A: Yes — we serve all Tacoma neighborhoods including North End, Proctor, Hilltop, South Tacoma, Ruston, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities.
Q: My Tacoma home has original plumbing from the 1920s — can it be saved?
A: Lead and very early galvanized systems from the 1920s typically cannot be saved and should be replaced for safety reasons. More modern galvanized from the 1950s–70s varies — we evaluate each system individually. Call (360) 551-1981 for a free assessment.
Q: Do you handle large commercial plumbing projects in Tacoma?
A: Yes — we take on multi-unit residential buildings, commercial tenant improvements, and new construction projects. We’re fully licensed for commercial work in Pierce County.
Q: Can you work with my Tacoma contractor on a kitchen remodel?
A: Absolutely. We coordinate directly with general contractors, cabinetmakers, and tile installers to keep renovation projects moving on schedule.
