Services

Emergency Plumbing

Our certified plumbers provide immediate response for burst pipes, frozen lines, and severe leaks. With decades of experience in urgent plumbing crises, we guarantee same-day service and rapid damage mitigation. Our team carries specialized equipment for pipe thawing, water extraction, and emergency shutoff valve installation.

Drain Cleaning

We specialize in removing stubborn clogs using hydro jetting and professional augers. Our technicians handle kitchen, bathroom, and sewer drains with precision. Regular maintenance services prevent future blockages while camera inspections identify underlying pipe issues requiring repair or replacement.

Sewer Line Repair

Trenchless technology allows minimal-disruption sewer line repairs. We address root intrusion, pipe corrosion, and collapsed lines using cured-in-place pipe lining. Traditional excavation remains available for severe damage cases requiring complete pipe replacement in residential and commercial properties.

Water Line Services

From leak detection to complete water line replacement, we ensure uninterrupted clean water supply. Our specialists handle both indoor and outdoor water piping systems. Preventative maintenance programs identify early signs of pipe degradation before emergencies occur.

Bathroom Plumbing

We provide comprehensive bathroom plumbing solutions including toilet replacement, shower repairs, and bathtub installations. Our team handles both standard and luxury fixture upgrades while ensuring proper drainage and water efficiency compliance with local building codes.

Very shady business dealings. We had an issue in our kitchen and we described specifically what the issues were on the phone. Someone came to provide a quote, they ended up charging $70 for a quote when their website clearly stated that the quote is free of charge if the work is done by them. Their excuse was that they didn't have the time to do the work during the initial visit - this despite us explaining clearly what was the issues were on the phone. Didn't end up going with them given how shady they run their business.

I found this company through Google. They were prompt, and professional and the work was done very quickly. No mess left behind and Jeff was polite and personable. I have a tub issue and will be requesting their services for that shortly. I highly recommend.

I actually called Jeff in for two jobs, toilet repair and a bathroom stall issue. The former was done really fast and efficiently (we have our second toilet again yay!), and the latter, as it turned out, could not be easily fixed. Jeff was super honest with me about the things that needed to be done, which I really appreciated. Also, if anything, Jeff is a great guy to chat with :) Thanks for coming in and helping us with our repairs!

Jeff showed up during the allotted time and was friendly and responsive to all my questions. He explained the problem of the leaking faucet in detail and gave two options for repair. He completed the faucet replacement in good time and was clean and respectful of my home. The price was neither cheap nor expensive, about middle of the road of what I would expect. I would definitely use his company again in the future.

I've worked with Jeff before. He's been in the business for a long time and understands that his reputation and word are his most important and valued attributes. As such, he takes pride in doing the job right. I had two jobs. The first job was to repair a leak underneath my kitchen sink. The other job was to install a sump pump backup system. We ordered parts for the second job so this review is just for my pipe repair. He tried to fix the sink as efficiently as possible. However, it became clear that the pipes (which are made out of plastic) were not holding. To boot, it appeared the pipes were
