Who is the best plumber to hire in Boulevard Park?
Call a local plumber who works on older South King County homes. Boulevard Park is one of the closest communities to our Burien base, and its housing is much like north and east Burien. We know the pipe types, crawl spaces, and side sewers you are likely to have.
Boulevard Park is an unincorporated community in King County, between Burien and Tukwila and just north of Sea-Tac Airport. Most of it is single-family homes on modest lots, many built in the 1940s and 1950s, with some newer infill. Des Moines Memorial Drive South runs along its western edge, and Military Road and SR 509 connect it to the rest of the area.

Pro tip
Replace an old gate-style main valve with a ball valve. It shuts off with a quarter turn, which matters when a pipe bursts.
Good to know
What plumbing repairs do Boulevard Park homes need most?
Boulevard Park's common problems are low water pressure and leaks from original galvanized pipe, root-packed clay side sewers, aging water heaters, and corroded shutoff valves that will not close in an emergency. Wet winters add yard drainage and crawl space moisture problems.
Low pressure and rusty water
Galvanized steel pipe was standard when many Boulevard Park homes were built. Over 70 years, rust builds up inside until water barely gets through. If your shower is weak and your hot water runs brown after sitting, the pipes are a likely cause.
Clay side sewers
Sewer lines from this era are often clay. Roots enter at the joints, and the line slowly fills. You may notice slow drains first, then gurgling, then a backup in the tub or a floor drain.
Old shutoff valves
Original gate valves often seize. When a pipe bursts, the valve will not close, and the only option is the meter box at the street. Replacing the main shutoff with a modern ball valve is a cheap upgrade that pays off in an emergency.
Crawl space moisture
Rainy months bring standing water to some crawl spaces. That speeds up corrosion on pipes and makes slow leaks harder to notice.

Prevention
Which plumbing upgrades are worth paying for in Boulevard Park?
The upgrades with the biggest payoff are a new main shutoff valve, a camera inspection of the side sewer, and replacing galvanized supply pipe. Together they cut the risk of floods, backups, and leaks. You can do them one at a time, starting with the one that fits your budget.
- Main shutoff valve. Low cost, big help in an emergency.
- Sewer camera inspection. Know the condition before it fails.
- Repipe or partial repipe. Restores pressure and stops leaks.
- Water heater check. Replace tanks over 10 years old before they leak.
- Pipe insulation. Protects crawl space lines in cold snaps.
Call (833) 710-2588 for prices on any of these.
Prevention
How do you avoid frozen pipe repairs in Boulevard Park?
Insulate exposed pipes in the crawl space, close foundation vents, disconnect garden hoses, and cover outdoor faucets. On nights below about 20°F, let a faucet on an outside wall drip. If a pipe freezes, open the faucet, warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer, and never use an open flame.
Older Boulevard Park homes often have pipes that run close to the foundation vents with little or no insulation. Those are the first to freeze. If you find a split pipe, shut off the main valve right away. When the pipe thaws, it will leak. Call (833) 710-2588 for frozen pipe repair, day or night.

Can you book a plumber around your work schedule?
Yes. Many Boulevard Park homeowners commute north to Seattle or work near the airport. Tell us your schedule and we will offer the earliest or latest open window. For bigger jobs like a repipe, we can plan the work so you have water each evening.
If someone else will let the plumber in, give us their name and number when you book.
