Toilet Replacement
Most standard toilet replacements are completed in 1-2 hours. Same-day service is often available if you schedule in the morning.
You can either purchase your own toilet or we can supply one for you. We work with all major brands and can help you select the right model for your bathroom.
Yes, we handle complete removal and proper disposal of your old toilet as part of the replacement service.
Drain Cleaning
We use motorized snaking for common clogs and hydro-jetting for heavy grease, sludge, and root intrusion. We also offer video camera inspections to diagnose recurring issues.
Yes. Our hydro-jetting equipment can cut through tree roots and years of buildup in main sewer lines. We'll also inspect with a camera to ensure the line is completely clear.
We recommend against chemical drain cleaners. They can damage pipes, especially older ones, and often don't fully clear the blockage. Mechanical cleaning is safer and more effective.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks, overflowing toilets, and complete drain blockages are all emergencies. Any situation that risks water damage or health hazards requires immediate attention.
We guarantee a 60-minute response time for emergency calls across our service area. Our dispatchers will give you an estimated arrival window when you call.
Our emergency dispatch fee is $249, which includes diagnosis and immediate mitigation. There is no after-hours surcharge. All repair costs are quoted upfront before work begins.
