Sewer Repair
Cracked or sagging sewer lines, roots and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A water bill that jumped, a stain on the ceiling or a sound of running water when everything is off. We find the leak, open as little as possible and fix it. From our office on Jodi Road.

Watch for:
With no change in how you use water.
On ceilings and walls.
When nothing is on.
Near bathrooms, the kitchen or the laundry.
We handle leaks in:
Copper, PEX and the connections between them.
Under sinks, tubs and showers.
Toilets, faucets, ice makers and washers.
In homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, leaks tend to show up in the same places.
Joints, valves and flexible connectors wear before the pipe does.
Leaks from second-floor fixtures show up in the ceiling below.
A line that froze can leak inside the wall the first time you use it in spring. If a pipe has burst, see burst pipe repair.
We find the leak before we open the wall.
With listening and moisture tools.
Approved before we cut anything.
And test it before we close up.
