Services
Plumbing Repair
Our plumbing repair service addresses leaks, clogs, and system failures with diagnostic assessments and tailored solutions. Technicians provide comprehensive reports before work begins, waiving service charges if repairs are completed. We specialize in water line repairs, fixture installations, and emergency leak detection using advanced camera inspections. All repairs include a 2-year warranty for customer peace of mind.
Heating Repair
We offer complete heating system diagnostics and repairs for furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers. Our technicians perform safety checks on burners, carbon monoxide levels, and electrical components. Emergency heating repairs prioritize restoring warmth quickly while ensuring system efficiency. Annual maintenance plans help prevent breakdowns during Pittsburgh's coldest months.
Cooling Services
Our cooling experts handle air conditioner repairs, installations, and maintenance across Pittsburgh. We diagnose refrigerant levels, check condenser motors, and optimize system efficiency. Mini-split installations provide zoned cooling solutions for residential and commercial properties. All AC services include performance testing for reliable summer operation.
Drain Clearing
Using hydro-jetting and camera-guided tools, we clear stubborn drain clogs and identify underlying pipe issues. Our technicians assess sewer lines for cracks or root intrusion, providing lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes. Drain services include preventative maintenance recommendations to avoid future blockages.
Sump Pump Repair
We repair and maintain sump pumps to prevent basement flooding during heavy rains. Services include checking float switches, motor functionality, and discharge lines. Annual inspections ensure proper operation, while emergency repairs address sudden system failures. We also offer sump pump replacement with energy-efficient models.
