Common Plumbing Problems We Solve

Plumbing problems can escalate when their underlying cause is not addressed. Our technicians diagnose the issue before recommending the appropriate repair.

  • Recurring Drain Clogs: A slow-draining sink or tub may indicate accumulated grease, soap residue, hair, or other debris inside the drain. More substantial obstructions can occur farther into the drainage system.

  • Leaking Faucets And Toilets: A dripping faucet or running toilet can waste water, while leaks around fixtures can damage surrounding materials. Our technicians identify the affected component and determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

  • Hot Water Problems: Running out of hot water, inconsistent temperatures, leaks, or unusual water heater noises can indicate a problem requiring service. The appropriate solution depends on the type of water heater, its condition, and the source of the malfunction.

  • Sewer Line Problems: Recurring backups, multiple slow drains, and unusual drain behavior can indicate a problem within the sewer line. We evaluate sewer concerns and provide repairs based on the condition and location of the problem.

  • Sump Pump Failure: A sump pump that fails to activate, runs continuously, or cannot remove water properly should be evaluated. Addressing pump problems can help reduce the risk of water accumulating around the basement sump area.

Plumbing Solutions From Service Specialties

Our plumbing services address fixtures, drains, water supply lines, water quality equipment, and other components throughout the home. Depending on what you are experiencing, Service Specialties can provide the following:

Emergency Plumbing Services

Plumbing emergencies do not always happen during normal business hours. After-hours emergency plumbing services are available for qualifying urgent problems. Our technicians evaluate the situation and work to address the source of the plumbing problem.

Drain Cleaning And Hydro Jetting

Slow and clogged drains can develop because of accumulated material inside the drain line. Professional drain cleaningcan clear many common obstructions. For suitable buildup and piping conditions, hydro jetting uses pressurized water to clean the inside of the line.

Garbage Disposal Repair And Replacement

A disposal that hums, jams, leaks, makes unusual noises, or stops operating may need repair or replacement. Our garbage disposal repair and replacement service addresses the disposal and its accessible plumbing connections.

Toilet, Shower And Faucet Service

Running toilets, weak flushing, dripping faucets, and malfunctioning shower fixtures can interfere with everyday water use. We provide toilet repair along with shower and faucet repair and replacement based on the condition of the fixture.

Water Line And Sewer Repair

Problems with the pipes supplying or carrying water away from your home require an accurate diagnosis. We provide main water line repair and sewer repair based on the location and condition of the affected line.

Gas Line Repair

Gas piping requires careful professional service. Our gas line repair technicians evaluate accessible piping and connections to determine what repair is needed. If you suspect an active gas leak, leave the area and follow your gas utility’s emergency instructions.

Sump Pump Repair

A malfunctioning sump pump can leave a basement more vulnerable when water enters the sump basin. Our sump pump repair service addresses pumps that are not operating or removing water as expected.

Water Treatment

Water hardness, mineral deposits, staining, taste, and odor can point to different water concerns. Our water quality services help homeowners better understand those conditions. Depending on the findings, options can include a water filtration system or water softener installation.

Eddie O. is the real deal. He led the install of my new A/C unit with precision, speed, and total professionalism. His technical know-how is top-notch, but what really impressed me was how clearly and patiently he explained everything.

Eddie made sure every detail was handled, every question answered.. You made a stressful job feel easy.

The five stars are for the service provided by the technician. I am not happy that I had to call and pay for service that I feel should have been done when my units were serviced in June. I feel like I paid an additional $220 for service.

Toan came to service both of our HVAC systems, consisting of heat pumps and electric furnace. He was knowledgeable and did thorough assessments. He was able to answer all of my questions. When I had an issue with one unit the next day, he identified the issue and fixed it immediately. I look forward to seeing him again in spring. I was excited to have him install the Air Scrubber system, which reminded me of the system we had in the hospital I worked at in Wisconsin.

The SSI installation team did an outstanding job of replacing my HVAC dual-fuel system with a variable speed unit! Eddie and team were extremely knowledgeable about Trane systems (built trust). They pointed out and implemented improvements and simplified the electrical and drain parts to make maintenance easy. At the end, Eddie walked me through the inside and outside systems and thermostat and helped me link it to my phone. Cannot say enough good things about the quality of their work! Thanks!

We had a system fall check up by SSI technician John Rodal. He arrived on time, efficient and professional. John is very pleasant and easy to talk with, he answers any questions about the system. During the inspection we discovered it was time to change out the UV light system.

We appreciate his work and look forward to working with John in the future as needed.
