Triage
Call now, or can it wait until morning?
Do not wait
Call now
- Sewage or gray water coming up a floor drain
- More than one fixture backing up at the same time
- A toilet overflowing where the water keeps rising
- Sewage smell plus gurgling from several drains
No emergency
Can wait until morning
- One slow drain that still empties
- A single fixture that gurgles but drains
- A clog that keeps coming back every few months
If it can wait, that's what we'll tell you on the phone — along with the cost, before anyone rolls.

Friday evening call — we still came out.
Calling at night? The after-hours cost is part of the phone conversation — not a surprise on the invoice.
Scope
What do you fix — and what don't you?
The specialty: blocked drains and sewer lines. Kitchen, bathroom, tub, and laundry drains. Floor and basement drains. Main sewer lines. Camera inspections, hydro jetting, root treatment. Alongside that, we take water heater service and faucet or fixture repairs — useful when the same visit can fix both.
And when cleaning won't fix it, we say so. A main line that blocks every few months usually has roots in it or a broken section. Clearing it again is a bandage. That calls for a camera inspection and a straight answer — not a standing appointment.
What we don't do
- Bathroom remodels
- Gas work
If your job is one of those, a general plumber is the right call — we'll tell you that on the phone instead of driving out to charge you for it.
