ZIP codes we serve

ZIP codes help dispatch place you quickly, but they are not a fence. If you are just outside these areas, call and ask.

Who to call for what

Different problems belong to different phone numbers, and sorting them out early saves time. Dispatch handles water damage inside the building. For the street side, call the utility.

• Water main or street leak: your water district, such as Mukilteo Water and Wastewater District or Alderwood Water and Wastewater District in the Mukilteo area, or the city utility in Everett and Edmonds.
• Electrical danger or outage: 911 for danger, Snohomish County PUD for outages in Mukilteo.
• Gas smell: leave the building and call 911 and Puget Sound Energy.
• Permits and code questions: your city's building or permit office.

Planning ahead for water damage

Water damage rarely gives notice, but a few habits help in every city we serve. Learn where the main water shutoff is, and test it once a year. Look at supply lines under sinks and behind toilets, and replace braided hoses that are bulging or rusted.

Rainy Puget Sound winters bring roof, gutter and crawl space problems as well as plumbing leaks. Clear gutters before the heavy rain, and look at the ceilings after a storm. A small stain caught early is a much smaller repair than one found months later.

If you do have a loss, save the number (425) 592-3399 before you need it. The line is the same for every city on this page, and it is answered 24/7.

What to tell dispatch about your address

Have the street address, the ZIP code and the nearest cross street ready. Say whether the home is a house, a condo or an apartment, because floors above and below can change what needs to be done. Mention if the water came from a neighbor's unit or from outside.

Also say whether anyone has shut off the water, and whether you can reach the shutoff safely. These details let dispatch plan the first steps before anyone arrives.

What the same line covers

The number is the same in every city: (425) 592-3399, answered 24/7. Dispatch asks where you are, what the water is doing, and explains scope and price before work starts. Same-day response is available when crews are free.
