The Most Trusted Plumber in Ballard

Ballard is one of Seattle’s most distinctive neighborhoods, known for its Scandinavian heritage, the iconic Ballard Locks, and the working waterfront along Shilshole Bay. From historic homes to bustling local businesses, Ballard blends maritime history with modern Seattle living.
