Services
Leak Detection
Our advanced leak detection technology identifies hidden water leaks in residential and commercial properties. Using thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices, we pinpoint slab leaks, pipe bursts, and hidden water damage sources without destructive wall cutting. This non-invasive approach saves time and repair costs while preventing mold growth and structural damage. Customers benefit from guaranteed repairs and annual inspection recommendations to maintain plumbing integrity.
Backflow Prevention
We install and test backflow prevention devices to protect drinking water from contamination. Required for commercial properties and multi-unit buildings, our certified technicians ensure compliance with local plumbing codes. Annual testing maintains device functionality while preventing cross-contamination between irrigation systems and potable water lines. This service safeguards public health and meets regulatory requirements for restaurants, apartment complexes, and industrial facilities.
Sewer Jetting
High-pressure sewer jetting clears stubborn drain clogs in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Our hydro-jetting equipment removes grease buildup, tree root intrusions, and mineral deposits from pipes without chemical cleaners. This environmentally friendly method restores full pipe capacity for restaurants, hotels, and municipal sewer lines while preventing future blockages through regular maintenance programs.
Gas Line Services
We handle residential and commercial gas line installations, repairs, and leak detection. Certified technicians perform pressure testing and odorant detection to identify gas leaks safely. Services include generator gas line connections, appliance hookups, and code-compliant installations for new construction projects. Emergency gas leak response prioritizes safety with immediate shutoff and repair services for both indoor and outdoor gas systems.
Water Heater Installation
We install traditional tank and tankless water heaters for residential and commercial properties. Our technicians assess hot water demand to recommend energy-efficient models with proper capacity. Services include gas and electric water heater replacements, annual maintenance checks, and emergency repair services for leaking or malfunctioning units. Tankless systems provide continuous hot water while reducing energy costs through on-demand heating technology.
