Yes. We find the cause first, then give you the price and the options before any work starts.

It depends on the job. A faucet repair costs less than a sewer line repair. We give you the price in writing before we begin.

Repeat clogs usually come from grease, a sag in the pipe or roots in the line. We look for the cause when we clean it.

It depends on the age of the tank and the part that failed. We explain both options with prices.

Ask us for our license and insurance details before any job.

Yes. We handle restrooms, water heaters and drains for small businesses in the Hialeah area.

It can clear a light clog near the opening, but it rarely clears the pipe and can damage older cast iron. A cable or jetter clears the line properly.

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub grease and scale off the inside of the pipe. It works well on lines that keep clogging.

Grease and food build up in the line over time. We clear it and explain what to keep out of the sink.

If a plunger does not fix it, more than one drain is slow, or the same drain keeps clogging, it is time for a plumber.

Yes. Grease cools and sticks to the inside of the pipe. Over time it catches food scraps and closes the line.

We choose the cable or jetting pressure for the pipe material, and we tell you if the pipe looks too worn to clean safely.

Most tank water heaters last about 8 to 12 years. Hard water and no flushing shorten that.

If the tank is young and the problem is an element or thermostat, repair it. If the tank leaks or is old, replacement is usually better value.

Scale from hard water collects at the bottom of the tank and pops as it heats. A flush often helps.

If more than one drain backs up, or water comes up in a tub when you flush, the main line is the likely cause.

Yes. We run a camera through the line and show you the video.

Yes. Roots find small cracks and joints and grow inside the pipe. We cut them out and explain how to keep them from coming back.

No. The camera shows where the problem is, so we only open the section that needs work.

It depends on where the damage is, how deep the line runs and how long a section needs work. We quote after the camera inspection.

Keep grease, wipes and paper towels out of drains, and have the line cleaned if roots are a known problem.

Usually the line from the house to the property line or main is the owner's. We help you find where yours ends.

Turn off every faucet and appliance and watch the water meter. If it still moves, there is a leak somewhere.

A slab leak is a leak in a pipe under or inside the concrete floor. It often shows up as a warm spot or a high water bill.

Not always. Sometimes it is better to reroute the line through the wall or attic. We explain both options.

Some policies cover water damage from a leak. We give you photos and notes for your claim, and your insurer decides.

Often, yes. Mineral buildup in the rim holes or a worn part can cause it, and we check both.

Both work well. PEX costs less and handles hard water well. Copper lasts a long time. We explain the trade-offs.

Yes. We keep openings small and patch them after the work is done.

It depends on the number of fixtures, the pipe route and the material. We give a written quote after an inspection.

Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside over time, which lowers pressure and causes leaks. Many older homes still have it.

Yes. The water is off only for parts of the day, and we tell you the schedule.
