Service Overview

How We Approach It

When a plumbing failure is actively damaging the house, the right move is shut off the water at the main and call. We mobilize a truck within 15 minutes of the call inside Somerset County.

What's Included

  • 24/7 phone answered by a real person
  • Truck on site within 90 minutes typical
  • Burst pipe, sewer backup, slab leak
  • Temporary repair to stop damage before scheduled full repair

What Counts as a Plumbing Emergency

Active emergencies that get our 24/7 dispatch: burst supply line spraying or flooding, sewer backup into the house, slab leak with active water surfacing, no water at all to the house (well pump failure or main failure), no hot water in winter when temperature is sub-freezing.

NOT emergencies that can wait until morning: dripping faucets, slow drains, running toilets, water heater that is working but loud, leaky shut-off valves under sinks. We will price these as same-day or next-day, but they do not justify after-hours emergency rates.

What to Do Before We Get There

For burst pipes: shut off the main water supply. The main valve is usually in the basement on the wall facing the street, or in a utility closet on the ground floor. Turn it clockwise until it stops.

For sewer backup: stop using ALL plumbing in the house. Flushing more, running water, or using the dishwasher all add to the backup volume.

For no hot water in winter: shut off water to the water heater (cold supply line on top), turn off gas or breaker to the water heater, and open a hot tap somewhere in the house to relieve pressure.

Then call. Real person on the line, no automated tree.

Process

    You get a written number before we start. Scope changes only with your written sign-off — no surprise upcharges.

  4. 04

    Do the Work

    Drop cloths down, work area protected, code-compliant install, photos before/during/after for your records.

  5. 05

    Walk-through

    We show you what we did, test under load, walk you through any new fixture. 1-year workmanship guarantee starts the day you sign off.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't see your question, just call or message us.

Do you charge for an estimate? +

For phone-quoted simple repairs (faucet swap, garbage disposal install, basic toilet replacement) — no. For anything that needs an on-site look, $89 service call credited to the work if you book us. That covers travel + diagnostic.

How fast can you come out for an emergency? +

Standard target is 90 minutes from the call inside Somerset County for active emergencies (burst pipe, sewer backup, no hot water in winter, no water at all). Off-hours can stretch to 2 hours. Phone answered 24/7.

Do you handle sewer line replacement? +

Yes. Camera inspection first, then trenchless pipe lining or full replacement depending on what the camera finds. Many central NJ sewer lines are 60-100 year-old clay tile or cast iron that has cracked or been invaded by tree roots. Trenchless is usually 30-50% cheaper than open-cut and finishes in a day instead of a week.

Tankless water heater install? +

Yes — gas tankless and heat-pump electric tankless. Tankless makes sense for high hot-water demand or freeing up basement space. It does NOT save money in most cases (the install premium takes 7-12 years to pay back at current gas prices). We will give you the honest math before you commit.

Are you licensed and insured? +

Yes — NJ master plumber license, general liability insurance, and workers comp on every crew. License number provided on every written quote.

Do you fix slab leaks? +

Yes. Electronic leak detection to locate, then choose the right repair: spot repair (cut concrete, repair pipe, patch), reroute (run new line through ceiling/walls bypassing the slab), or full re-pipe depending on pipe age and remaining life.

Polybutylene plumbing replacement? +

Yes. Polybutylene was used widely in NJ from the late 1970s through 1995 and it fails — it gets brittle from the inside out and develops pinhole leaks unpredictably. A full re-pipe with PEX is the right answer if any portion of your home still has polybutylene supply lines. Insurance often will not cover a poly leak.

Do you bill insurance for water damage from a plumbing failure? +

We do the plumbing repair; the water damage cleanup is a separate trade (restoration, not plumbing). We can refer a restorer. The plumbing bill is direct-pay; the restoration side typically goes through your homeowner insurance claim.
