Drains, heaters, pipes, fixtures.

Residential plumbing across the foothills — from a clogged kitchen sink to a full repipe or water heater upgrade.

Drain Cleaning & Rooter

Stubborn clogs and blockages cleared, flow restored, and the underlying cause diagnosed so the problem doesn’t return next month.

Water Heater Service

Tank water heater repair and replacement, plus tankless installation and service. Code-compliant, clean, and explained before we start.

Leak Detection & Repair

Find the source, stop the damage, and repair it properly. No guessing and no unnecessary demolition when it can be avoided.

Copper Repiping

When pinholes keep appearing, a full repipe is often the smarter long-term move. We do the work cleanly and restore your walls and finishes.

Fixtures, Toilets & Disposals

Everyday fixture work done properly — new toilets, faucets, sinks, garbage disposals — installed right and cleaned up after.

Gas Lines & Earthquake Valves

Gas line work and seismic shut-off valves installed to current code. Safety and compliance are non-negotiable.
