Plumbing help in Burien
Burien is post-war South King, modest mid-century homes on good-sized lots, sitting above the Sound on the west side and spreading east toward the airport. The housing is largely 1940s-60s, which means original-era supply lines, clay laterals, and mechanicals that are at or past the replacement point. A working-class suburb where the plumbing calls are practical ones.
