Plumbing Repair
Our plumbing repair team addresses leaks, clogs, and system failures using modern diagnostic tools and durable materials. We specialize in fixing issues with water heaters, faucets, and pipes while minimizing property disruption. With 30+ years of experience, we ensure long-term solutions for residential and commercial properties.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair eliminates the need for excavation by relining pipes with epoxy or replacing them via pipe bursting. This method preserves landscapes and reduces project timelines to under a day. We use UV-cured lining systems like Nu Flow Technologies for lasting results in Seattle's challenging soil conditions.
Drain Cleaning
High-pressure hydro jetting clears blockages caused by grease, roots, or debris buildup in drains. Our equipment reaches 4,000 PSI to scour pipe interiors without damaging infrastructure. Regular maintenance prevents emergencies and extends system lifespan for homes and businesses.
Sewer Camera Inspection
We use high-resolution cameras to inspect sewer lines and identify cracks, root intrusion, or collapses. This non-invasive method guides repair decisions and provides visual documentation. Inspections are included free with sewer cleaning services to ensure accurate diagnostics.
Emergency Plumbing
Our 24/7 emergency team responds to urgent issues like burst pipes, sewer backups, and gas leaks. Rapid dispatch ensures technicians arrive within an hour during business hours. We prioritize safety and swift resolution to protect properties from water damage and hazardous conditions.
