Call (365) 990-3021What we fix
Clogs, leaks, heaters and the lines under the floor
We snake kitchen lines packed with bacon fat, pull hair mats out of shower drains, reset toilets on fresh wax rings, cut out split copper and sweat in new couplings, and swap leaking tanks in cramped Newmarket basements. Ring the shop, describe the drip or the backup, and we load the cable that suits it before the van leaves.

Service areas
Where the van goes
Newmarket is a town of layered plumbing. Cast iron stacks and clay laterals near Main Street, galvanized supply in the post-war bungalows, ABS drains and copper in the 1980s subdivisions, PEX manifolds in the newest builds near Davis Drive. Past the town line we work on well pumps, pressure tanks and long service runs too.

Before the van arrives
Should I pour drain opener in first?
Please do not. Caustic opener rarely shifts a solid hair or grease plug, and it leaves hot chemical water sitting in the trap that we then have to open by hand. Tell us if you already used some so we can glove up.
Two drains are backing up at once. Is that bad?
It usually means the blockage is past the branch, in the main stack or the building drain. Stop running water, especially the washer, and call. That is a cable or jetter job at the cleanout, not a plunger job.
My toilet rocks and there is a stain around the base.
The wax ring has likely failed and water is reaching the subfloor. We pull the bowl, scrape the flange, check it for cracks, set a new ring and new closet bolts, then shim and caulk.
Can you find a leak without opening every wall?
Usually. We isolate fixtures, watch the meter, use moisture readings and listen at the lines, then open the smallest patch that reaches the leak.
Can a dead tank be swapped on the day I call?
Often, if the size and venting match a tank we can source that day. We drain the old tank, swap connectors and the relief valve line, fill, light or power up, and check for leaks.

How a job runs
From the first ring to the last drip test
Most calls here start at a drain. A slow bathroom sink with a hair plug in the pop-up, a kitchen branch narrowed by grease, a basement floor drain burping grey water after the laundry runs. We carry hand augers, a drum machine with cutter heads, a water jetter and an inspection camera on a push reel, which lets one visit both clear the line and prove it clear.
You call and describe it
Which fixture, how slow, whether two drains back up together, whether you have tried a plunger or a bottle of opener. Those answers decide which machine goes on the truck.
We look before we cut
Traps come off, cleanouts get opened, valves get turned. If the fault is behind drywall we show you where and why before a saw touches it.
We do the plumbing
Cable, jet, solder, crimp, glue or thread, whatever that pipe needs. Drop cloths stay down under the work and old parts go in a bucket for you to see.
We test it under load
A full sink dumped at once, a tub filled and pulled, a toilet flushed several times, a heater run to temperature. Then we wipe down and pack up.
