Detailed Service Information
Emergency Plumbing
Plumbing emergencies create immediate stress and potential for significant property damage. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water per hour, flooding rooms and destroying floors, walls, and possessions. A failing water heater might flood your basement or utility room. A severely backed-up toilet or drain can create unsanitary conditions throughout your home. These situations require immediate professional intervention to minimize damage and restore safety and sanitation.
When you call our emergency line, you'll speak directly with a knowledgeable team member who can provide immediate guidance on protecting your property while our technician travels to your location. In many cases, simple steps like shutting off the main water supply or the supply to a specific fixture can prevent thousands of dollars in additional damage. Our emergency plumbers arrive equipped with fully stocked service vehicles containing the tools, parts, and materials needed to address the most common emergency situations on the spot.
Professional emergency plumbing service matters because attempting DIY repairs during a crisis often makes problems worse. Without proper training and equipment, homeowners may inadvertently cause additional damage, create safety hazards, or implement temporary fixes that fail shortly after, leading to repeat flooding or system failures. Our experienced technicians assess the situation quickly, implement effective solutions, and ensure that repairs meet code requirements and will provide long-term reliability rather than just stopping the immediate crisis.
Drain Cleaning
Drains slow down gradually as soap scum, hair, grease, food particles, and mineral deposits accumulate along pipe walls, progressively restricting water flow. What starts as water that drains a bit slowly can eventually become a complete blockage that leaves you with standing water and an unusable fixture. Kitchen sinks are particularly prone to grease and food buildup, bathroom drains collect hair and soap residue, and floor drains in basements or utility rooms can accumulate debris over time.
Our professional drain cleaning service begins with a thorough assessment to understand the nature and location of the blockage. We use specialized drain augers and snakes that can navigate through your pipes to break up clogs and remove obstructions. For more challenging situations or to provide preventative maintenance, we may recommend video camera inspection to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes. This allows us to identify not just the immediate clog but also any underlying issues like pipe damage, root intrusion, or structural problems that could cause future blockages.
While chemical drain cleaners are readily available at any hardware store, they pose significant risks to both your plumbing and your health. These harsh chemicals can damage older pipes, particularly if used repeatedly, and they rarely solve the underlying cause of recurring clogs. They also create dangerous fumes and can cause severe burns if splashed on skin. Professional drain cleaning removes clogs completely without damaging your pipes and provides lasting results that keep your drains flowing freely. Regular professional cleaning as part of home maintenance prevents emergency blockages and extends the life of your plumbing system.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, providing hot water for showers, laundry, dishwashing, and countless other daily activities. When it stops working properly, you notice immediately. Cold showers, lukewarm dishwater, and insufficient hot water for basic household needs disrupt your routine and make your home less comfortable. Water heaters can fail due to sediment buildup, corroded components, faulty thermostats, damaged heating elements, or simply age and wear.
Our water heater repair service addresses common issues like inconsistent water temperature, insufficient hot water supply, strange noises from the tank, discolored water, and leaking. We diagnose the root cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that's replacing a heating element, flushing the tank to remove sediment, adjusting the thermostat, or addressing pressure and valve issues. For units that are failing due to age or extensive damage, we provide honest guidance on whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense based on the unit's condition and expected remaining lifespan.
When it's time for a new water heater, we help you select the right system for your household's needs and budget. Traditional tank water heaters are economical and familiar, while tankless systems offer energy savings and endless hot water. We consider factors like your family size, hot water usage patterns, available space, energy costs, and long-term efficiency to recommend the best option. Our professional installation ensures proper sizing, correct connections, compliance with building codes, and safe operation from day one. We also provide guidance on maintenance practices that will extend your new water heater's lifespan and maintain its efficiency throughout years of service.
Leak Detection
Many leaks occur in areas you can't easily see—behind walls, under concrete slabs, beneath floors, or buried in your yard. These hidden leaks can run for weeks or months before you notice signs like unexplained water bill increases, damp spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, or foundation cracks. By the time visible symptoms appear, thousands of gallons of water may have been wasted and significant structural damage may have occurred.
Professional leak detection uses specialized equipment that locates leaks without destructive exploratory work. We employ acoustic listening devices that detect the sound of water escaping from pipes, thermal imaging cameras that reveal temperature differences caused by water accumulation, and moisture meters that identify elevated moisture levels in building materials. For slab leaks and underground pipes, we can use pressure testing and tracer gas techniques to pinpoint leak locations with remarkable precision, allowing us to access the problem area directly rather than tearing up large sections of your property in search of the source.
Early leak detection is crucial because water damage compounds over time. A small leak that goes unnoticed can rot wood framing, promote mold growth, damage insulation, stain ceilings and walls, and undermine foundations. The cost of repairing this secondary damage often far exceeds the cost of fixing the leak itself. Professional leak detection protects your property value, prevents health hazards associated with mold and moisture, reduces water waste, and provides peace of mind. If you've noticed any signs of hidden leaks, scheduling a professional inspection can prevent minor issues from becoming major catastrophes.
Pipe Repair
Pipes fail for various reasons, from physical damage caused by freezing temperatures or shifting foundations to gradual deterioration from age and corrosion. Pinhole leaks in copper pipes, cracks in plastic lines, joint failures, and corrosion in older galvanized pipes all compromise your plumbing system's integrity. Small leaks waste water and cause damage, while complete pipe failures can flood your home and require emergency repairs.
Modern pipe repair techniques allow us to address many problems without extensive demolition. We can repair pinhole leaks, replace damaged sections, seal joints, and reinforce weak areas using methods that restore full function while minimizing disruption to your walls, floors, and landscaping. For accessible pipes, traditional repair or replacement of the damaged section provides a permanent solution. For pipes in difficult-to-reach locations, we may recommend trenchless repair methods or epoxy pipe lining that creates a new interior surface within the existing pipe.
Attempting DIY pipe repairs without proper training often leads to further problems. Incorrectly soldered joints leak, improper pipe support causes stress and failures, mismatched materials corrode, and amateur work rarely meets building codes. Professional pipe repair ensures that fixes are done right the first time, use appropriate materials and techniques, and will provide years of reliable service. When we complete a pipe repair, you can be confident that the problem is truly solved rather than temporarily patched, preventing repeat failures and additional damage to your property.
Sewer Line Services
Your home's sewer line carries wastewater from all your drains and toilets to the municipal sewer system or your septic tank. When this critical line becomes blocked or damaged, the results are unpleasant and unsanitary. Multiple drains backing up simultaneously, sewage odors in your home or yard, gurgling sounds from toilets, and sewage backup in lower-level fixtures all indicate serious sewer line problems that require immediate professional attention.
Sewer line issues have various causes including tree root intrusion, collapse of older clay or concrete pipes, bellied sections where settling has created low spots that collect debris, and blockages from flushed items that shouldn't enter the system. Our sewer line services begin with video camera inspection that allows us to see inside your line and identify exactly what's wrong and where. This diagnostic step is crucial because it prevents unnecessary digging and allows us to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.
Treatment options range from professional cleaning to remove roots and debris, to spot repairs of damaged sections, to complete line replacement for severely deteriorated pipes. Modern trenchless technologies can replace entire sewer lines with minimal excavation, preserving your landscaping and reducing repair costs. We work efficiently to restore proper sewer function while minimizing disruption to your property and daily life. Because sewer problems can pose health hazards and cause extensive property damage, professional service is essential—this is never an appropriate area for DIY attempts.
Fixture Installation
Installing new plumbing fixtures refreshes your home's appearance, improves functionality, and can significantly reduce water consumption through modern efficient designs. Whether you're updating a single outdated faucet or renovating an entire bathroom with new fixtures throughout, professional installation ensures that everything functions properly, looks great, and provides years of trouble-free service without leaks or performance issues.
Fixture installation involves more than just connecting water supply lines. We ensure proper mounting that can support the fixture's weight and use, create watertight seals that prevent leaks, make drain connections that flow properly without clogs, verify correct water pressure and flow rates, and test everything thoroughly before considering the job complete. For toilets, we ensure proper sealing of the wax ring and correct bowl positioning. For faucets and showers, we verify that temperature mixing works correctly and that all components operate smoothly. This attention to detail prevents the drips, leaks, and malfunctions that commonly result from improper installation.
Many homeowners attempt DIY fixture installation only to discover that what seems simple in a video tutorial becomes complicated when dealing with their home's specific plumbing configuration. Incorrect installations can damage fixtures, create leaks that cause water damage, violate building codes, and void manufacturer warranties. Professional installation protects your investment in new fixtures and ensures that you get to enjoy the aesthetic and functional improvements without the frustration of leaks and problems. We can also advise on fixture selection to ensure that what you're purchasing is compatible with your plumbing and will meet your expectations for performance and durability.
Repiping
Homes built several decades ago often contain plumbing materials that have reached or exceeded their expected lifespan. Galvanized steel pipes corrode internally, restricting flow and contaminating water with rust. Polybutylene pipes, commonly used in the 1980s and 1990s, become brittle and fail unexpectedly. Even copper pipes can develop leaks over time. If you're experiencing frequent leaks, low water pressure, discolored water, or your home inspector has noted aging plumbing, repiping may be the most practical solution.
A repiping project replaces old, failing pipes with modern materials that provide superior performance and longevity. We typically use PEX or copper piping depending on your home's needs and budget. PEX offers flexibility that makes installation less invasive, resistance to freezing, and excellent durability. Copper provides proven longevity and is preferred by some homeowners for its traditional reliability. We design the new plumbing layout to optimize water pressure and flow, minimize potential problem areas, and ensure easy access for any future maintenance.
While repiping is a significant project, the benefits are substantial. You'll enjoy consistent water pressure throughout your home, clean water that's free from rust and contaminants, the elimination of chronic leaks that damage your property, reduced risk of catastrophic pipe failures, and increased home value. Modern pipe materials carry excellent warranties and should provide decades of trouble-free service. We work efficiently to minimize disruption during the project, complete installations professionally, repair and paint wall access points, and leave your home clean and ready to enjoy the benefits of a modern, reliable plumbing system.
Hydro-Jetting
Traditional drain snaking removes clogs but often leaves residue coating your pipe walls. Over time, this buildup accumulates again, leading to recurring blockages. Hydro-jetting provides a more thorough solution by using highly pressurized water—typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI—to scour pipe interiors completely clean. The high-pressure water stream cuts through grease, dissolves soap buildup, removes scale deposits, cuts away tree roots that have infiltrated sewer lines, and flushes all debris out of the system.
We typically recommend hydro-jetting for commercial kitchens with severe grease buildup, homes with recurring drain problems that snaking can't permanently resolve, sewer lines with root intrusion, and as preventative maintenance for properties that want to keep their plumbing in optimal condition. Before hydro-jetting, we often perform video inspection to ensure that your pipes are structurally sound enough to handle the pressure—very old or damaged pipes might require repair before this intensive cleaning method is appropriate.
The results of hydro-jetting are impressive and long-lasting. Your pipes return to nearly new condition, with clear interiors that allow maximum flow and are less likely to accumulate new buildup. This preventative benefit means you'll experience fewer drain problems in the future. While hydro-jetting requires professional equipment and expertise—the high pressures involved can damage pipes if used incorrectly—the investment in this service often prevents more extensive plumbing problems down the road and extends the functional life of your plumbing system significantly.
