We understand the unique challenges that homes in Bellingham can face, from older plumbing systems to environmental factors.

Advanced Technology for Pinpointing Leaks

We utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate and non-invasive leak detection. Forget destructive methods that tear up your property; our advanced tools allow us to locate leaks with precision. This includes:

Acoustic Leak Detection: Listening devices help us hear the sound of water escaping pipes, even behind walls or under floors.
Thermal Imaging Cameras: These cameras detect subtle temperature changes caused by water, revealing hidden moisture.
Tracer Gas Detection: For hard-to-find leaks, we can introduce a safe, non-toxic gas into your plumbing system and use sensitive detectors to find where it escapes.
Video Camera Inspections: For drain and sewer lines, miniature cameras provide a clear view of the pipe's interior, identifying cracks, blockages, or breaks.

We can detect various types of leaks, including slab leaks, water main leaks, and even gas leaks, ensuring the safety and integrity of your entire system.

Sullivan plumbing came out two days later at exactly the time they said they would arrive and fixed it quickly at a reasonable price.  Much thanks to them.

Sullivan Plumbing is my plumber for life.My water line broke where it comes into the house.I was able to fix that.But....When I turned the water back on and ran the faucets it got sand and dirt in the pipes.They came out the next day and took care of everything in no time!! I was pleasantly surprised when I received the bill , which was very reasonable.I plan on having them come back to put in a faucet on the backside of the house.Nice people, good work I would highly recommend.👍

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had Sullivan Plumbing out to my house for a few different issues.  The first trip they flushed my tankless water heater, they also discovered a venting issue with my tank during that visit which will save on maintenance and safety down the road.
The next trip they came out to install a entire house post water filter and an undercounter reverse osmosis system.  They were very professional, and personable, explaining everything thoroughly to me regarding the install.  Their pricing was very fair, and I was extremely happy with my experience with them.
