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.

The technician was punctual and friendly. He looked at the toilet and quickly diagnosed the problem. He gave me an estimate for the toilet repair and also replacing the shutoff valve (which reflected my platinum member discount). The repair was done quickly and efficiently.

Bill D. saved me from an expensive attic vent repair project.

Apparently when I got my ducts cleaned last year they closed off a levered vent going to the upstairs that all other technicians didn’t know about.

Bill D. found it and fixed it thus saving me from an unnecessary project and a helping my find another way to balance air temps throughout my home.
