Services
Plumbing services
We handle drain problems such as clogs, slow drains, leaks, gurgles, and odors, along with water and sewer laterals, sewer relining, camera inspections, leak detection, water line replacements, mainline cleanouts, hydro jetting, fixtures, power rodding, sump and ejector pumps, frozen lines, and garbage disposals. We do this work for houses, townhouses, and businesses.
Water & sewer
We diagnose and repair private water and sewer laterals, the line between the house and the village main, when they leak, break, or back up. We figure out the problem before anyone digs.
Sewer relining
We reline private sewer laterals when the pipe is cracked, root-damaged, or leaking but still in place. A liner is an option after we camera the line, not a substitute for a collapse that has to come out.
Sewer camera inspection
We run a camera through the private sewer so we can see roots, cracks, bellies, and collapses before anyone cables, relines, or digs. Footage is how we decide the next step, not a guess from the yard.
Water line replacements
We replace private water services that leak, lose pressure, or are still galvanized or failing poly. We locate the break before we open the yard, and we do not replace a line that only needs a repair.
Leak detection
We find private water and sewer leaks that do not show as a single dripping faucet. Wet yard, a meter that moves with everything off, or a stain with no obvious source is this work, and we locate it before we open anything.
Cleanout access for sewer mainlines
We add outdoor or interior cleanouts so the sewer main can be cabled, jetted, and cameraed without pulling a toilet every time. If the line already backs up and there is no usable access, say that when you call.
Faucets, toilets, kitchen & bath
We repair, replace, and install toilets, faucets, and valves that leak, stain, or no longer mix. We do the plumbing that makes the room work; we do not design kitchens.
Power rodding
We clear clogs, slow drains, gurgles, and odors, and we cable lines that keep coming back. If the drain is already slow, skip the chemicals and call us instead.
Hydro jetting
We jet private drains with high-pressure water when grease, scale, or sludge has packed the line and a cable only punches a hole through it. Jetting is cleaning, not a repair, and a collapsed pipe still has to come out.
Sump pumps
We replace, service, and install sump pumps that keep groundwater out of the basement. If water is already on the floor, say that when you call so we can treat it as urgent.
Ejector pumps
We replace, service, and install sewage ejector pumps that lift waste from a bathroom or laundry below the sewer. An ejector is not a sump. If sewage is on the floor, say that when you call.
Frozen lines
We thaw frozen lines first, then repair whatever split, and we do not use open flame. Tell us which fixtures have no water so we know where to start.
Garbage disposals
We install and repair residential garbage disposals, whether the unit is jammed, leaking at the reset, or worn through. A unit that hums without spinning is usually a jam; a leak at the reset is a different repair.

Chris responded to my emergency plumbing request within minutes and arrived at my home in about 10 minutes. He quickly resolved the issue, was very professional, and charged a fair price for the service. Highly recommend!

Chris fixed my clogged sink fast and with no hassle. I found him on Thumbtack, and he called within minutes and showed up in under an hour. Super professional, knew exactly what he was doing, and cleaned up after. I’d definitely hire him again.
