Because we charge repairs by the job, not by the hour “For service calls only”, you never pay for a slow or lazy serviceman or for “run-around” time for parts and other materials. And because it’s in our best interest to work as efficiently as possible.
Our plumber services also include preventative inspections of plumbing systems, which can preclude many problems from even occurring. A preventative inspection by a plumber should be performed when a home is being bought or sold. It generally includes visually reviewing pipes and fixtures, checking faucets for leaks, testing the flow of drains and more.
For people who are connected to the city sewer system, the biggest problems with plumbing occur when tree roots grow into a pipe. We are just a phone call away.
If the sewer backup is only coming up through one drain, but other fixtures are working properly, you may have a local clog. More times than not it is the septic system. Slow drains and a strong sewage odor are often two of the first signs that you have a problem with your sewer lines.
Replacement of a water heater is a call we get often. It takes two to three hours and is a rather specialized service best done by our professional plumbers. We also do garbage disposal repair and installation, never attempt to repair a garbage disposal on your own! It never works out in your favor. It can result in more damage to your kitchen! Plus more expensive costs for the eventual repair by a professional if the job is not done properly.
Plumbing installation and repair work on residences and other buildings must be done according to plumbing and building codes to protect the inhabitants of the buildings and to ensure safety. We follow all current codes and state laws! There are many types of pipe, and some are more appropriate for specific jobs than others. To help you with the decisions, here is an overview of the main types of pipe used in residential remodeling.
- Plastic Pipe
- Metal Pipe
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) can be used only for cold water. PVC is most often used to carry water from the main supply to a home. If you decide to use PVC, be sure that the pipe you choose is approved for drinking water.
- ABS (acrylonitrite-butadiene-styrene) is use for waste removal, drain and venting, primarily in bathrooms. It is a rigid plastic pipe that can be connected to several kinds of metal pipe.
- PEX can be used to carry both hot and cold water. It is often used for interior water pipes in residential plumbing.
- CPVC (chlorine-polyvinyl-chloride) is generally used to carry hot water, and is often used as a substitute for copper pipe.
- Metal Pipe
- Cast Iron is used in some parts of the country for drainage. It is very strong and very durable. The challenge in using cast iron is that it is hard to cut and it is very heavy. If your project involves replacing cast iron pipe, a good choice is PVC because it can be joined with cast iron.
- Copper is a good choice for both hot and cold water supply lines, and is very corrosion-resistant. It is light and durable, but costs more. If you are replacing copper pipe, a good choice is CPVC.
- Galvanized steel is not used much today because it will corrode over time and because it is hard to work with. It was used in the past for water supply lines.
