Twenty Years, One Promise
Since 2006, Gary's Plumbing & Heating has worked alongside Bellingham homeowners, property managers, restaurants, and local businesses through burst pipes at 2 a.m., furnace breakdowns on the coldest day of the year, and every routine tune-up in between. Twenty years of service has shaped how we show up: on time, in uniform, and ready to explain what we are doing and why.
Experience does not just mean more years on the calendar. It means seeing thousands of homes and businesses, learning the quirks of Whatcom County water, and knowing how a 1970s craftsman differs from a new build in Ferndale or a busy commercial kitchen downtown. That kind of knowledge is hard to fake.
True 24/7 Emergency Service
A plumbing emergency at 3 a.m. is not more convenient, whether it is at your home or your business. So we do not believe it should cost more. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year, with no extra charges for nights, weekends, or holidays.
That promise has stayed the same for 20 years.
What true 24/7 means here:
- Real technicians answer calls, not voicemail loops.
- No premium pricing for after-hours emergencies.
- Fully stocked trucks ready to handle the most common emergency calls on the first visit.
Our plumbers are here when you need us.
Why Hire a Certified Plumber Instead of a Handyman?
A handyman can be the right call for a leaky cabinet hinge. For anything connected to water, gas, or a heating system, the stakes are higher. The risk is real for homeowners and even greater for business owners who face downtime, code inspections, and tenant impact. Here is why homeowners and businesses across Whatcom County trust licensed professionals for plumbing work.
Insurance Coverage
Damage caused by unlicensed work may not be covered by your homeowners or commercial property insurance. A licensed and bonded contractor protects your property and your bottom line if something goes wrong.
Up to Date With Codes and Best Practices
Plumbing codes change. Modern best practices around venting, expansion tanks, backflow prevention, and water heater installation evolve constantly. Commercial projects often face stricter requirements still. Certified plumbers train and recertify so your home or business meets current standards.
Modern Equipment and Technology
From sewer cameras to the Hot Jetter, the right tool turns a guessing game into a diagnosis. Handymen often lack the equipment to find the real problem, leading to repeat visits and bigger bills.
Safety Recalls and Manufacturer Updates
Water heaters, valves, and gas components get recalled. Licensed pros track these alerts. A handyman may not.
Licensed, Bonded, and Insured
Every technician on our team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask any contractor you hire to prove the same.

Old-School Experience, New-School Tools
Twenty years of experience has not made us old-fashioned. It has made us picky about what works.
We invest in modern equipment that gets jobs done faster and cleaner, including:
- Hot Jetter high-pressure drain cleaning that clears grease, roots, and buildup without harsh chemicals.
- Sewer line cameras that confirm the problem before we recommend a fix.
- Heat pump water heaters and tankless systems for homeowners ready to upgrade.
- Whole-home and whole-building water filtration that protects every fixture.
Experience tells us what to use. Technology lets us do it better.
Twenty Years of Community
Gary's Giving has supported local charities, sponsored community events, and helped families in need with plumbing and heating services. Twenty years of business in Bellingham has only been possible because of the neighbors, business owners, and partners who trusted us first. We give back because this is home.
Twenty Years In. Ready When You Need Us.
Whether it is a slow drain at home, a noisy furnace, a backed-up line at your restaurant, or a true emergency at any hour, our team is here. Schedule online or call our 24/7 line for help today.
