What we fix
Eight kinds of job, each explained the way we would explain it at your kitchen table: what is going on, what we do about it, and what it starts at.
Emergency repairs
Burst pipe, flooding, no water.
From $149call-out, any hour · Under an hour, 24/7
The problem
Water where it should not be, and it is not stopping. A split pipe behind a wall, a supply line that let go under the sink, a toilet that will not stop running onto the floor. Every minute adds to the damage.
While you wait: close the main shut-off valve (usually where the water line enters the house) and switch off the water heater.
The fix
- A licensed plumber at your door in under an hour, nights and holidays included
- We stop the water first, then show you what failed
- Permanent repair on the same visit in most cases
- Photos of the damage for your insurance claim
Leak detection & pipe repair
Damp ceiling, high water bill.
From $189leak locate · Same day
The problem
A brown stain spreading on the ceiling, a water bill that doubled, the sound of running water when every tap is off. Hidden leaks rot framing and grow mold long before you see a drip.
The fix
- Acoustic and thermal leak locating, so we open one small hole instead of a whole wall
- Copper, PEX and CPVC repairs
- We patch the access hole neatly before we leave
- Written report you can give your insurer
Sewer line repair
Gurgling drains, sewage smell.
From $249camera inspection · Same day camera check
The problem
Several drains slow at once, the toilet gurgles when the washer drains, there is a smell in the basement or a soggy patch in the yard. That usually means the main line, not one sink.
The fix
- A camera down the line so you see the problem on screen yourself
- Root cutting and hydro-jetting for blockages
- Trenchless lining where the yard allows it
- Fixed price before any digging starts
Drain cleaning
Slow sinks, backed-up tub.
From $129per drain · Same or next day
The problem
The shower turns into a footbath, the kitchen sink takes ten minutes to empty, the plunger is not winning anymore. Store-bought drain cleaner eats pipes and rarely reaches the clog.
The fix
- Mechanical snaking for sinks, tubs and floor drains
- Kitchen grease lines cleared properly, not just punched through
- We test every drain before we leave
- No chemical cleaners, ever
Water heaters
No hot water, leaking tank.
From $169repair · install from $1,450 · Same or next day
The problem
Lukewarm showers, a popping noise from the basement, rusty water or a puddle around the tank. Most tank heaters last ten to twelve years; after that, a leak is a matter of when.
The fix
- Repairs to thermostats, elements, valves and gas controls
- Tank and tankless replacements, gas and electric
- Old unit hauled away and permit pulled for you
- Six-year parts and labor warranty on new installs
Toilets, faucets & fixtures
Running toilet, dripping faucet.
From $99per fixture · Within the week
The problem
A toilet that runs all night, a faucet that drips a gallon a day, a shower valve that only does scalding or freezing. Small things, but they waste water and they wear you down.
The fix
- Repair or replace toilets, faucets, shower valves and disposals
- We install fixtures you bought yourself, no markup games
- Shut-off valves replaced while we are there if they are seized
- Floors and counters left cleaner than we found them
Sump pumps
Wet basement, pump will not start.
From $139repair · new pump from $895 · Same day in storms
The problem
A spring storm and a pump that will not kick on is how basements flood. Float switches stick, motors burn out, and many pumps have no backup when the power goes.
The fix
- Pump testing and float switch repairs
- New primary pumps sized to your pit and water table
- Battery backup pumps with a loud alarm
- Check valve and discharge line inspected every visit
Repiping & remodels
Old galvanized pipes, new bathroom.
Freewritten estimate · Scheduled to suit you
The problem
Low pressure everywhere, brown water after a vacation, pinhole leaks in old copper. Or you are finally redoing the bathroom and want the plumbing done right behind the new tile.
The fix
- Whole-house repiping in PEX or copper, usually in two to four days
- Rough-in and finish plumbing for kitchen and bath remodels
- We work with your contractor or recommend one we trust
- Every wall opening patched and ready for paint
