Drain & water pipe repair
Dealing with a pipe leak? Here’s a quick guide: •If the leak drips, then stops or slows, it’s likely a drain pipe issue, or water has gone somewhere it shouldn’t. •If the leak is constant and doesn’t slow or stop, it’s probably a water pipe leak. Pro Tip: Know where your main cold water shutoff is. From my 30 years of experience, I’ve found that about 50% of homeowners don’t know its location. If you’re unsure where yours is, feel free to email me.
Water service repair & replacement
Yes, I can replace your water service line. However, I ask that you arrange for someone to handle the excavation and backfilling of the trench once I’ve completed the plumbing work. Here’s what to consider: •Most of the cost in water service replacement comes from moving the dirt. If you’re okay with your yard being dug up, hiring someone local to handle the digging can save you money. •Alternatively, modern methods can install a new water line with minimal disruption. Machines can pull a new line from the city meter to your house with only two small holes—one at the meter and one near your home. While the machine-based method may cost more than manual trench digging, it keeps your yard intact. The choice depends on your budget and preferences. If you decide to go with the manual approach, hire some locals to dig the trench, and I’ll handle the plumbing work for you. Let’s work together to find the best solution for your situation!

Companies these days can pull a new water line with a machine from the City water meter to your house without digging up the whole yard. One hole at the meter and one hole at the house. The machine will probably cost more than a plumber laborer digging it by hand. You have to decide what's best for you. If your on a budget, have some locals dig it and I will plumb it for you

From kitchen faucets and disposals to drains and more, I’ve got you covered. I can even install a new dishwasher for you.

Water heater repair & installation
Is your water heater over 10 years old? Here’s what to consider: •If you live in a condo on the 10th floor, it might be time to think about replacing it. •If you have a 10-year-old water heater in your basement near a working floor drain, you might be able to hold off. For reference, my electric water heater lasted 16 years before it started leaking, and I’ve seen others last even longer. However, I can’t predict how long yours will last or how quickly it might leak when it does. If your water heater is in an area where a leak could cause damage, it’s a good idea to start considering a replacement around the 10-year mark. Ready to Replace? Contact me with the following details: •Gas or electric? •Tank size (in gallons)? If possible, send a couple of photos of your current setup. I’ll get back to you with a price quote promptly. Water heater over ten years old? If you live in a condo on the 10th floor, yeah you might think about replacing it.
