Serving Maple Valley from Enumclaw

Enumclaw-based plumbers for Maple Valley homes

Artisan Plumbing & Mechanical is based in Enumclaw, south of Maple Valley on SR 169, past Black Diamond and the Green River gorge. We’re a small, family-owned company owned by Rich and Marianne Eveland, female-owned and veteran-operated, with licensed plumbers who bring 25+ years of experience to the work.

Plumbing in Maple Valley comes with its own set of facts: two water districts instead of a city utility, a separate sewer district, septic systems in some less-developed areas, and a housing stock that mostly went up between 1990 and 2010. From Four Corners to Lake Wilderness, we price each job up front, by the job and not by the hour, so you know the cost before work starts. We also handle commercial plumbing for restaurants, property managers, multifamily buildings and general contractors.

What Makes Plumbing in Maple Valley Different

Six facts about the city’s utilities, housing and ground that shape how plumbing gets repaired here.

Two water districts, no city utilityCedar River Water and Sewer District serves the north part of Maple Valley with soft Cedar River water bought from Seattle, and Covington Water District serves the south part, mainly with Green River water. Meters, pressure and leak-adjustment rules differ between the two.
Pressure set by the hillsCovington Water District calls its system gravity fed: about 40 psi beside a hilltop tank, about 130 psi at a home 200 feet lower. Anything over 80 psi is too high under the plumbing code, and that’s the job of a pressure-reducing valve.
Sewer for most, septic for someSoos Creek Water and Sewer District serves nearly all of the city and sends wastewater to King County’s treatment plant in Renton. Some homes in less-developed areas are still on septic, which changes what should go down a drain.
Built mostly from 1990 to 2010The city’s housing study says most homes date from 1980 or later, and the majority went up between 1990 and 2010. Original water heaters are long gone, and first-generation valves, toilets and hose bibs are reaching the end of their run.
Hardpan here, gravel thereMaple Valley sits at about 400 to 600 feet on rolling ground between the Cedar and Green Rivers. Near Lake Wilderness, Pipe Lake and Lake Lucerne the soil is hard glacial till with high groundwater, while other areas sit on fast-draining gravel, where a buried leak may never show at the surface.
Permits from City HallInside city limits, plumbing permits come from the City of Maple Valley, whose guidance lists replacing fuel-burning appliances such as hot water tanks among work that needs one. Just outside the city, in unincorporated King County, they come from Public Health instead.

Maple Valley Plumbing FAQs

Where is Artisan Plumbing based?

In Enumclaw, south of Maple Valley on SR 169. Artisan Plumbing & Mechanical is a small, family-owned company owned by Rich and Marianne Eveland. We’re female-owned and veteran-operated, and Maple Valley is part of the area we serve.

Who provides water and sewer service in Maple Valley?

Not the city. Water comes from Cedar River Water and Sewer District in the north part of Maple Valley and Covington Water District in the south part. Sewer service for nearly all of the city comes from Soos Creek Water and Sewer District. On both the water and the sewer side, the pipe between the public system and your house is yours to maintain.

Who issues plumbing permits in Maple Valley?

Inside city limits, the City of Maple Valley does, through its permit office. King County’s Public Health department issues plumbing permits only for Seattle, Clyde Hill and unincorporated King County, so it handles Maple Valley addresses that sit outside the city boundary. We’ll tell you what your job needs when we price it.

My home near Maple Valley is on septic. Can you work on it?

Yes, on the plumbing: fixtures, water lines, water heaters and the drains inside the house. Tanks and drainfields are regulated by King County and handled by its certified septic professionals. If a drain problem looks like it starts in the tank, we’ll tell you.

Do you take emergency or after-hours calls from Maple Valley?

Yes. Artisan is on call 24/7, weekends included. A night or weekend call usually starts with limiting the damage: we walk you through closing your water shut-off by phone, then book the repair visit, often for the next day. The number is 360-829-7440.

How will I know when the plumber is coming?

You’ll get a two-hour arrival window when your visit is scheduled.

Is Artisan licensed for plumbing work in Maple Valley?

Yes. Our plumbers are licensed and have 25+ years of experience. Washington law calls for plumbing work to be performed by a licensed plumbing contractor with certified plumbers on the job, and that’s the same in Maple Valley as anywhere else in the state.

Do you serve the areas around Maple Valley too?

We do. Our service area covers King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, so Black Diamond and nearby communities such as Hobart and Ravensdale are included. Outside the Maple Valley city limits, the water or sewer provider and the permit office may be different, and we’ll help you sort out which apply.
