Water is backing up into the toilet and bathtub, what is wrong?

If there are two fixtures backing up, especially in different rooms, there is most likely a main sewer line blockage. We can cable out the line with a snake to break up many clogs. For stubborn clogs we have the capability for a camera inspection or drain jetting. Give us a call to learn more and receive a free estimate.

I have a water leak but don’t know where it is. How much to fix it?

The first priority is to find out where the leak is before giving you a free estimate on fixing it. If it is not visible, we will have to perform a leak detection to isolate the leak and then we’ll know how much to charge for the job. There are several ways to locate a leak depending on where we suspect it to be. Call us for more particulars about how we will be able to help you?
