Covington shares the 98042 ZIP code with our Kent home base. Valor Plumbing handles plumbing repair, water heaters, drains, sewer lines and repipes across the city.
Covington is about as local as it gets for Valor Plumbing. Our home base in Kent shares the 98042 ZIP code with Covington, so the neighborhoods off SR 516 and SR 18 are right in our backyard. We are family and veteran owned, and we treat Covington homes the way we would want our own treated.
Covington incorporated in 1997, and much of its housing went up in the decades before and after, from 1970s and 1980s subdivisions to newer neighborhoods built in the 2000s and later. Homes on the older end of that range are hitting the age where original water heaters, shutoff valves and fixture supply lines fail, and houses built from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s may have polybutylene supply pipe, which is worth replacing before it leaks. Newer homes more often need water heater replacement, tankless upgrades and drain clearing.
Most of Covington gets its water from Covington Water District, and sewer service comes from Soos Creek Water and Sewer District, so side sewer and water service repairs follow district requirements. Like the rest of the area, Covington gets long wet seasons and the occasional deep freeze, which is when exposed pipes in garages, crawlspaces and outdoor spigots are most at risk.
We serve homes and businesses in and around Covington, including Timberlane, Pipe Lake, Downtown Covington, Lake Morton-Berrydale and the Lake Meridian area.

It might, if the house was built between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. Polybutylene supply pipe is usually gray, sometimes blue or black, and is often stamped PB2110. It has a reputation for failing without warning, especially at fittings. We can check your supply lines and quote a repipe in PEX or copper if you have it.
If the problem is on the utility side, such as the water meter or the public sewer main, call the district that serves you. Anything on your side of the meter, or between your house and the sewer main, is generally the homeowner's responsibility, and that is where we come in, from leaking water service lines to cracked or root-filled side sewers.
The usual causes are a dry trap in a rarely used sink, shower or floor drain, a failed wax seal under a toilet, or a blocked vent. Less often it is a cracked drain line. Run water in any unused drains first. If the smell sticks around, we can find the source.
