Emergency Plumber and Leak Detection

Water damage can devastate a property within hours, which is why we prioritize rapid response for plumbing emergencies. Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday 7am – 5pm, but we are also available on-call for emergencies because we understand that pipe bursts and major leaks don’t wait for convenient times. When you discover water pooling in your basement, hear the ominous sound of rushing water behind walls, or notice sudden spikes in your water bill, immediate professional intervention becomes crucial.

Our leak detection services utilize advanced acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition. These non-invasive techniques allow us to identify problems within walls, under concrete slabs, and beneath landscaping. By catching leaks early, we help homeowners avoid the average 10,000 gallons of water wasted annually through household leaks, according to EPA estimates. Our technicians track moisture patterns, pressure test supply lines, and inspect joints and connections to ensure we address not just the visible problem but also potential future failure points.

Water Heater Installation and Maintenance

Your water heater works harder in Toquerville’s mineral-rich water conditions, making regular maintenance essential for optimal performance and longevity. We specialize in both traditional tank and tankless water heater systems, helping customers choose the right capacity and efficiency rating for their specific needs. Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless models can function effectively for 20 years or more with proper care.

During installation, we ensure proper venting, adequate combustion air supply, and code-compliant temperature and pressure relief valve placement. We calculate the appropriate size based on your household’s peak hour demand, considering factors like the number of bathrooms, appliance requirements, and usage patterns. Regular flushing removes sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and accelerates tank corrosion, while anode rod replacement extends equipment life by preventing rust formation.

Comprehensive Drain and Sewer Line Services

Drain cleaning and sewer line repair represent critical aspects of maintaining a healthy plumbing system. We employ various techniques depending on the severity and location of blockages:

• Mechanical snaking – uses flexible augers to break through soft blockages and retrieve foreign objects
• Hydro jetting – delivers high-pressure water streams up to 4,000 PSI to scour pipe walls clean
• Video inspection – reveals root intrusion, pipe bellying, and structural damage requiring targeted repairs

Sewer line problems often manifest as multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, or sewage odors in yards. We perform trenchless repairs when possible, using pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques that minimize landscape disruption and reduce project completion time from weeks to days.

Regular plumbing maintenance prevents costly emergencies and extends system lifespan. We recommend annual inspections that include checking water pressure levels, testing shut-off valves, examining visible pipes for corrosion, and evaluating water heater performance. Providing air conditioning, heating & plumbing services to the area, we understand how these systems interconnect and affect each other’s efficiency.

Our maintenance programs address the specific challenges of Toquerville’s hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and magnesium that accelerate scale buildup in pipes and fixtures. We install and service water softening systems that protect plumbing infrastructure while improving water quality for daily use. By maintaining optimal water pressure between 40-60 PSI and addressing minor issues before they escalate, we help property owners avoid the disruption and expense of major plumbing failures while ensuring reliable performance year-round.
