Water was coming through the dining room ceiling at 7 in the morning. Dan's guy was here by 8:30, found the leak in twenty minutes, showed me the pipe, and gave me a price before touching anything.

Tankless water heater swap

  • Water heaters

A 14-year-old tank heater was leaking at the base. We replaced it with a wall-hung tankless unit, upsized the gas line to feed it, and gave the homeowners back a corner of their basement.

Third plumber we'd called about the basement drain and the first one to put a camera in it. Roots in the clay line. Fixed for good this time.

Showed up inside the window, wore boot covers, cleaned up after. The new water heater has been great and the price matched the quote to the dollar.

Our 1920s house has every kind of pipe ever made. They knew exactly what they were looking at and didn't try to sell us a full repipe we didn't need.

Sump pump died during the August storm. They had a new one with a battery backup in before the next round of rain hit.

Questions people ask

Don't see yours? Call (248) 555-0142.

Do you give a price before you start?

Yes. We look at the problem, explain what it needs, and give you the price up front. You decide before any work happens.

How soon can someone come out?

Call (248) 555-0142 and we'll give you the earliest opening we have. Active leaks and sewer backups go to the front of the line.

What should I do while I wait for a leak to be fixed?

Find your main water shutoff, usually where the line enters the house near the meter, and turn it off. Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain what's left in the pipes, and move anything you can out of the water's way.

Do you work on older homes?

Yes. Galvanized pipe, cast iron drains and clay sewer lines are normal work for us. We'll tell you what can be repaired and what's near the end of its life.

Do I need to be home?

Someone 18 or older needs to let us in and approve the work. After that, you don't have to stand over us.

Tell us what's going on.

Send a few details and we'll get back to you. If it can't wait, call.
