City Sewer Hookup Info
Our City Sewer Hookup Process
At Gene Johnson, we provide comprehensive city sewer connection services, ensuring every step of the process meets Seattle’s state and local regulations. Here’s how we handle your sewer hookup:
- Initial Assessment: We begin by evaluating your property’s existing plumbing system and determining the feasibility of connecting to the city sewer lines. During this stage, we assess several factors, such as the proximity to the city’s lines and the condition of your sewage lines.
- Permitting: Connecting to the municipal sewer system requires obtaining necessary permits from the city. Our team is experienced in navigating the permitting process, ensuring your project complies with state and local regulations.
- Excavation and Connection: Our certified technicians handle all aspects of excavation, installation, and connection to the main sewer line. We ensure the work adheres to Seattle’s side sewer code, which governs private connections to municipal systems.
- Inspection and Testing: Once the connection is complete, we conduct thorough inspections and tests to verify the integrity and functionality of the new sewer line.
Our team is certified to perform side sewer work in Seattle, as required by the city’s Side Sewer Code. This certification allows us to carry out professional sewer connections that meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Learn more about side sewer permits and codes on the City of Seattle’s website.
The Benefits of City Sewer Line Hookups
Switching from a septic system to the municipal sewer system offers numerous advantages for property owners:
- Increased Reliability: Unlike septic tanks, which require regular maintenance and are prone to failure, city sewer systems provide a more reliable solution for managing wastewater.
- Lower Maintenance: With city sewer lines, homeowners no longer need to worry about pumping, repairing, or replacing septic tanks.
- Environmental Benefits: Municipal systems are designed to process wastewater safely, reducing the risk of contamination to local water sources.
- Increased Property Value: Connecting to the city sewer system can enhance your property’s value, as many buyers prefer the convenience of municipal sewage systems.
- Compliance with Local Regulations: Transitioning to a city sewer hookup ensures your property aligns with current state and local regulations, avoiding potential fines or legal issues.
Investing in a city sewer connection is a smart choice for homeowners looking to improve their property’s functionality and value while enjoying long-term peace of mind.
Our Other Sewer Line Services
In addition to city sewer hookup services, Gene Johnson offers a variety of sewer line solutions to meet your needs. Whether you’re dealing with damaged sewage lines or planning an upgrade, we have the expertise to provide reliable solutions.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair and Installation
Trenchless methods are a modern solution for repairing or installing sewer lines without the need for extensive excavation. This approach minimizes disruption to your property, preserves landscaping, and reduces project timelines. Using advanced techniques such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, we can restore your property’s plumbing system efficiently.
Traditional Sewer Line Repair and Installation
For situations where trenchless methods are not feasible, we offer traditional sewer line repair and installation. This involves excavating to access the main line, ensuring a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged or outdated sewer lines. Our team handles these projects with precision and care, minimizing inconvenience while delivering top-quality results.

Summary: Gene Johnson sent a tech (Matt Hunter) to address our home heating system, which was sending no heat at all to many rooms in the house. Our system is a wonky spaghetti mess of piping, controllers and pumps that theoretically delivers hot water to legacy cast iron radiators, new floorboard radiators, and seven in-floor hydronic loops. It has not worked as intended since we bought the house 15 years ago. It has likely *never worked right since the last house renovation 25 years go (2000), given the horrid “design” that was implemented then. Matt was the first tech ever to figure out how it all works. He repaired every failed component and problem that could be fixed, given our disastrous configuration. We are completely satisfied with Matt’s work and privately are enormously grateful that this money hole has now been tamed.
Our house dates to 1918, so challenges in upgrading the heating plant in 2000 were a certainty. However, the zoo in our HVAC room is nearly indecipherable. I have hired one HVAC company after another over last 15 years to make sense of it, at great expense.
Ninety percent of past techs gave incomplete explanations, proposed the replacement of a pump or controller, or the addition of a valve, and then left. Some were honest enough to simply offer a theory of how it works, while admitting they didn’t know, and then left us with a big bill.
Enter Matt Hunt. Not sure if Matt looks the part of genius plumber, but then I’ve never seen one till now. He’s a little nerdy perhaps (like me) and also a dirt bike racer. Whatever: Matt alone successfully unraveled the mysteries of our home hot-water distribution plant. He confirmed that the entire house is controlled by two thermostats, which are, incredibly, located just 16 feet apart on the first floor. (One controls all hot water distributed on the north side of the house; one controls all hot water sent to the south side. Go figure.) Matt explained why heat often doesn’t reach the upper floors even when the system is “working” (if it’s warm on the first floor, naturally, no heat is available to the second and third floors).
Matt discovered that the pressure in the water distribution lines was only 4PSI (target range: 13-22PSI), determined that the cause was huge amounts of air in the pipes, and the culprit was a broken refill valve. The new valve includes a pressure gauge so we can now see when the pressure in the water lines has fallen so low that the system can’t deliver hot water to the upper stories. He also spotted problems with the air eliminator, i.e. the “burping” component that normally should purge some/most of the air. He has proposed replacing that (agreed).
Matt drained the pipes on all floors; refilled the lines; purged all zones of air; and replaced the (broken) thermal expansion tank. Heat began to flow again to all rooms. He demosnttated that heat only happens on the upper floors provided that the two first-floor thermostats that control distribution to the entire home are below target temps and are calling for heat.
Matt mapped every radiator and hydronic zone to the main thermostat controlling it. He also determined which rooms/areas the hydronic thermostats control. (Of course, the hydronic thermostats, which are sprinkled around the house, are comic: they only perform as intended when the primary thermostats on the first floor are delivering hot water.) Matt gave us a detailed written explanation of what each component does and how it’s controlled.
Matt did all this in less time than some prior techs took to try and ultimately give up.
Our home heating system is a design wreck and will never deliver heat around the house reliably. However, with the fixes (and insights) mATT delivered, we now get heat when we want it with some work-arounds (like cooling down the first floor therostats). Further, we understand how to spot problems and fix the system going forward.
Thank you, Matt!

Steven came out to troubleshoot our tankless water heater and quickly identified the issue as a clogged condensate pump. What really stood out was the time he took to explain everything in detail. He walked me through the condition of the unit, the manufacturer’s recommended lifespan, and the condensation damage and rust that had already occurred due to the blockage.
Steven gave me honest, thoughtful guidance and helped me make an informed decision about replacing the unit, without any pressure whatsoever. He clearly explained that we could have gotten by with a descaling for now, but also helped me understand why replacing it would likely save money and headaches over the long run.
He was patient, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I really appreciated his transparency and professionalism, and I would absolutely recommend Steven and Gene Johnson to anyone needing plumbing or tankless water heater service. Thanks!

Very knowledgeable. Mike Keane really did an awesome job. Highly recommend these guys for all your plumbing needs. Definitely going to be a life long customer.

Joseph F came for a leak we were experiencing along with his partner and was beyond helpful. We have a 4 month old and also had a contractor there at the same time. He was kind enough to entertain our little one in his swing while my husband was moving some things in the bathroom and I was talking to the contractor. So unexpected and beyond the call they came out for. Thank you!

We had a clogged drain in our Weird Old House that was above the proverbial pay grade of our usual maintenance folks. Mike from Gene Johnson Plumbing sorted it out quickly and efficiently, and even informed us how we can maintain it ourselves going forwards. Great service!
