24/7 Emergency Drain Cleaning
Backed-up drains cleared day or night, with the cause found before we leave.
Services
Plumbing services
Twelve services, most of them below the floor or under the yard. If you are not sure which one you need, call and describe the symptom - the plumber you speak to will narrow it down.
Drains and sewers
Emergency drain cleaning, sewer backup cleanup, hydro jetting, camera inspection and trenchless sewer repair make up most of our work. In older DC homes the sewer lateral is often clay or cast iron that has been in the ground for a century, so we camera it before recommending anything and keep digging to a last resort.
Water and gas
We trace hidden leaks with acoustic and thermal equipment, replace lead and galvanized water service lines and whole-house supply piping, install tank and tankless water heaters, and repair and extend gas lines. Each job is permitted and inspected with the office that covers your address.
Buildings and businesses
For restaurants, apartment buildings and offices we handle grease traps, backflow testing, shared stacks and scheduled maintenance, working around tenants and opening hours.
What we do
Every plumbing service
Each page covers the warning signs, how the job is done and the options available.

Basement sewer backups stopped, cleaned up and traced to the blockage.
