No surprises

How Sonlight works

The whole point is removing the guesswork from calling a plumber.

1

Tell us what's going on

Share the symptom and your city. Sonlight will follow up with the next steps, and Jose will handle the plumbing evaluation and approved work.

2

Get clear options before work begins

We explain what we see in plain terms and lay out your choices, so nothing is a mystery.

3

Approve the work before anything starts

Work begins only after you've approved the plan. Clean work, left tidy.

Where we work

Service area: nine communities in and around the Tri-Cities

Residential plumbing for Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, West Richland, West Pasco, Prosser, Finley, Burbank, and Benton City.

Sonlight Rewards Membership

$199 a Year. Two Visits. Up to $500 Toward a Water Heater.

Sonlight Rewards is our one membership. Your first year includes a Member Welcome Visit and an Annual Plumbing Maintenance Visit, you get 10% off all plumbing work, up to $500 per job, and you earn $100 in reward dollars toward a qualifying water heater replacement after every completed year, up to $500.

Whole-home inspection

Jose checks the accessible plumbing items included in the annual inspection and explains what he finds.

Water heater flush or descaling

For an eligible water heater, the annual visit includes the appropriate tank flush or tankless descaling to address sediment or scale buildup.

No dispatch fee on the annual visit

The $79 dispatch fee is waived on the annual maintenance visit. On ordinary service calls, the standard $79 dispatch fee applies.

Member discount

10% off all plumbing work, up to $500 per job, applied on the invoice. On a water heater replacement it can be combined with your earned reward dollars. The separate $300 water heater offer cannot be combined with either member benefit: you choose the standalone $300 offer or your membership benefits, not both.

$100 toward your next water heater

Earned after each completed paid membership year, up to a $500 maximum, and transferable to another active member. Not cash; a partial year earns none.

Not insurance, not a warranty — scheduled maintenance plus a reward. It renews automatically each year until you cancel, with email reminders 30 days and 7 days before renewal; cancel any time before the renewal date by phone, text or email. Enrollment can be completed by phone, by text through the office, or in person during a scheduled visit, with the full terms provided before enrollment.
