Plumbing Services in Tacoma, WA
When a pipe lets go at 6 a.m. or the water heater quits on a Sunday, you need a plumber in Tacoma who picks up the phone and shows up. Big Jake’s Plumbing has been crawling under Pierce County homes for years — from century-old craftsman houses in the North End to new builds in Puyallup — with flat, honest pricing quoted before we touch a wrench.
What We Do
Repairs, Replacements & Emergencies — Handled by Local Pros
Every job below gets the same treatment: a licensed tech, a flat quote up front, and floors left cleaner than we found them.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, sewage backups, no water — we dispatch around the clock across Tacoma and Pierce County, and we tell you the real arrival window, not a fantasy one.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Tank and tankless. We size the unit to your household — not the biggest one on the truck — and haul the old one away the same day.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Slow drains, root intrusion, grease clogs. Camera inspection first, so you see exactly what we see before anything gets cleared.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Trenchless options that save your yard where the ground allows. Common in older Tacoma neighborhoods where clay lines have hit end of life.
Fixture & Toilet Installation
Faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shower valves. Small jobs welcome — no job minimums, no “trip fee” games.

Water Where It Shouldn't Be?
Talk to a real dispatcher at our Tacoma shop — not a call center.
Why Tacoma Calls Big Jake
A Local Shop, Not a Franchise Call Center
Our shop sits on Tacoma Ave S, a few blocks from the courthouse. When you call, you reach someone who knows the difference between a Proctor bungalow and a Puyallup split-level — because we’ve worked in both this week.
Tacoma’s housing stock is tough on plumbing. Pre-war homes in the Stadium District and Hilltop still run original galvanized lines. Fircrest and University Place homes from the 60s hide failing copper under slabs. We’ve seen every version of it, and we photograph and explain every repair before you approve it.
- Flat-rate quotes, in writing, before work starts — the price never grows mid-job.
- Licensed journeyman plumbers on every call, never unsupervised apprentices.
- Workmanship warranty on every repair, backed by a shop that isn't going anywhere.
- Clean-home protocol: shoe covers, drop cloths, and a shop-vac before we leave.
