Sewer Repair
Camera inspections, root removal and repairs for older clay and cast iron sewer lines.
A stain spreading on a plaster ceiling, a water bill that jumped or the sound of running water when everything is off. We locate the leak before opening anything, then fix it with as little disruption as possible. Our office is on Spinning Wheel Road.

Watch for:
With no change in how you use water.
On ceilings and walls.
When nothing is on.
Near baths, the kitchen or laundry.
We handle leaks in:
Copper, galvanized, PEX and the fittings between them.
Cast iron, galvanized and PVC.
Toilets, faucets, ice makers and steam units.
In Hinsdale, a small leak often sits behind finishes that are expensive to replace.
We pinpoint the leak first so only a small opening is needed.
Older homes may still have original pipe that corrodes and leaks at the joints.
A slow leak can show up far from its source. If a pipe has burst, see burst pipe repair.
Locate first, then open as little as possible.
Listening equipment, moisture meters and pressure tests.
Approved before we open anything.
Before the wall or ceiling is closed.
