Services
What we handle
Water heaters
Tank and tankless from Rheem, Navien, and A.O. Smith. Honest math when a 12-year tank is cheaper to replace than to keep patching.
Drain cleaning
Kitchen lines, main stacks, and floor drains. Hydro-jetting for the cast-iron laterals common in DC homes built before 1980.
Bathroom and kitchen rough-in
Fixture swaps through full gut plumbing for renovations that have to clear DC permit inspections.

Reviews
4.7 on Google
“Water in the basement at 1am. They were on the block in 90 minutes and had the line isolated before the drywall guy even picked up.”
“Walked us through gas line sizing and the vent run. No mystery fees on the invoice.”
“Showed us the camera video of the root intrusion, then hydro-jetted it. We kept the original clay instead of a $14k replacement.”
Questions
Before you call
Do you work nights and weekends?
Yes. Emergency dispatch runs 24/7 for burst pipes, sewage backups, and no-hot-water calls. Standard hours cover scheduled replacements and camera inspections.
Will you camera the line before cutting?
Always, unless water is actively flooding the space and we have to isolate first. You see the footage before we recommend a repair.
Do you service tankless systems?
Yes. We install and service tank and tankless units and will tell you if your gas line or venting cannot support a tankless swap.
