Vancouver · Clark County · Since 2011
We are a plumbing and heating shop on NE 78th Street in Vancouver. Every price comes from the same book on the tech's tablet and you see it before any work starts, and it is the same number at two in the morning as at two in the afternoon. Drains, water heaters, sewer lines, furnaces, heat pumps and AC, across Clark County.

Leak or burst pipe
It's where the water line enters the house, usually in the garage, the crawl space, or at the meter box near the street. Turn it clockwise until it stops. Then open a faucet on the lowest floor to bleed off the pressure.
Water heater leaking
Electric: flip its breaker, the double 30-amp. Gas: turn the control knob on the front to OFF. Then close the cold-supply valve on top of the tank. If the floor is wet near outlets, stay off it and wait for us.
No heat
The furnace power switch looks like a light switch near the unit; make sure it's on. Swap the thermostat batteries. If you smell gas, don't flip anything: leave the house and call your gas utility from outside, then call us.
If you cannot find the main valve, text us a photo of your garage or crawl-space wall and we will point to it.
The trucks are stocked for same-visit repairs: capacitors, ignitors, flame sensors, fill valves, expansion tanks and sump pumps. Most calls are finished the first time out.
Kitchen, tub, lav and main line. A cable machine for ordinary clogs, hydro-jetting for grease and roots. After any main-line clear we run the camera so you can see for yourself that it is clear.
Most jobs run from $189.
40- and 50-gallon tank swaps, usually the same day you call. Tankless conversions with the gas line sized to the unit and the venting done properly. Every install gets an expansion tank and a new shutoff.
Installs from $1,650.
Pinhole copper, sweating joints, failed compression fittings, running toilets, frozen hose bibs. We find the leak, show it to you, and quote the fix before we open a wall.
Most jobs run from $149.
Color camera with a locator so we mark exactly where the break or root ball sits. Spot repairs or full replacement. We pull the city or county permit and meet the inspector.
Inspection $249.
Gas furnaces and heat pump air handlers, all brands. Ignitors, inducer motors, flame sensors, control boards, defrost boards, most fixed from the truck. New 96% AFUE two-stage installs with a duct static-pressure check.

Annual service $229.
Every visit runs the same way, whether it is a running toilet or a boiler replacement. The price is on the tablet before any work starts, and every tech carries the same book. Nobody here is paid commission on parts, so nobody has a reason to sell you one you do not need.
A person answers at any hour. Booking online takes about a minute.
One text when they are dispatched, one when they are 15 minutes out.
On the tablet, from the book, before anything is touched.
Most repairs are finished on the first visit from a stocked truck.
Drop cloths up, shoe covers off, and the invoice and warranty texted before the truck leaves the driveway.
A few from the last couple of months. Ask and we will tell you which street.
Sunday night, the water heater let go in the garage. Called at 9:40, Marco was here by 10:30, had it shut down and drained, and installed a new 50-gallon Monday morning. Price was exactly what he wrote on the tablet the night before.
Our sewer backed up twice in a year with another company. Bluewater ran the camera, showed us the root ball on the screen at 38 feet, and jetted it. Six months clean. Actually seeing the pipe made the difference.
AC quit in the July heat wave. Diagnosed a bad capacitor in ten minutes, had one on the truck, done. Didn't try to sell me a new system. Already booked them for the furnace tune-up.
Steam boiler service. Tech explained the low-water cutoff and why the radiators were banging. Little things: shoe covers, texted before arriving, wiped up the drips. Four stars because the window ran an hour late, though they did call ahead.
Tankless conversion. Two-day job, they upsized the gas line, pulled the permit, and the inspector passed it first visit. Endless hot water in a house with three teenagers.
Sump pump died during that November atmospheric river with water coming up the well. Emergency tech was here in 40 minutes with a pump and a battery backup. Crawl space stayed dry. Worth every dollar of the flat rate.
The shop is in Vancouver, with trucks staged across Clark County. Most towns on the list are 20 to 35 minutes along the I-5 corridor, and we cross the bridge to Portland every day. If your address is just outside the list, call and dispatch will tell you whether we can get there today.
After diagnosis the tech shows you the price from our book on the tablet. You approve before any work starts, and the number doesn't change if the job takes longer than expected. The dispatch fee is $69 and is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
No. Same flat-rate book, 24/7. We staff an on-call tech for Clark County every night, and average arrival is 47 minutes. No overtime charges, no weekend surcharge.
Tank if you want the lowest upfront cost and your household uses hot water at predictable times. Tankless if you want endless hot water, have or can add a properly sized gas line, and plan to stay in the house eight-plus years. We quote both so you can compare side by side.
It's the efficiency rating. Higher number, lower electric bill. The federal minimum for our region is 13.4 SEER2, and most new systems here are heat pumps that heat and cool. Most of our installs land at 15 to 17 SEER2, which usually pays back the difference in three to five summers. We'll show you the math on the quote.
Yes, for water heaters, boilers, furnaces, AC, and sewer work. Clark County and the City of Vancouver require it and it protects you at resale. The permit fee is a line item on the quote and we meet the inspector.
Washington-licensed plumbers under a WA L&I contractor registration, plus an Oregon CCB license for Portland-side work, all listed in the footer and on the side of every truck. $2M general liability and workers' comp. Every tech is background-checked and drug-tested before they ride along.
Most no-heat calls are fixed from the truck. The rest are quoted before we leave.
Bluewater Plumbing & Heating handles furnace repair & install across Vancouver and the rest of Clark County. Gas furnaces and heat pump air handlers, all brands. Ignitors, inducer motors, flame sensors, control boards, defrost boards, most fixed from the truck. New 96% AFUE two-stage installs with a duct static-pressure check.
On a no-heat call in Vancouver we run the same sequence every time: thermostat, power, filter, then the ignition system. Hot-surface ignitors, flame sensors, pressure switches, inducer motors, and control boards make up most winter repairs. We carry them for the common brands, so most furnaces are running before the tech leaves. If the heat exchanger is cracked, we show you the crack on the inspection camera and shut the unit down because of the carbon monoxide risk. New installs are 96% AFUE two-stage units with a static-pressure test on the ductwork. We size the furnace to the house, not to the old nameplate, which prevents short-cycling and cold rooms.
Pricing is flat-rate and comes from the same book on every truck, day or night. For furnace repair & install, pricing is repairs from $189. The exact price for your job is shown on the tablet after diagnosis, before any work starts. The $69 dispatch fee is waived when you approve the repair, and there is no overtime charge for nights or weekends. Two-year parts-and-labor warranty on repairs, ten years on installs we register. If it isn't fixed right, we come back at no charge.
