How to choose between a repair and a bigger job

Most plumbing problems have a small fix and a larger fix, and the right choice depends on age, access and how often the problem returns. A dripping valve is a repair. A supply line that has leaked three times in two years is a repipe conversation.

The same logic applies to drains. One slow tub drain is a cable job. A main line that backs up every few months points to roots, a belly or a broken joint, which is why we pair a camera inspection with cleaning when the stoppages keep coming back.

If you cannot tell which category your problem falls in, call and describe what you see. The dispatcher will say whether it is urgent, what to shut off while you wait and which page on this site covers it.

What to do first when something is wrong

Shut off the water at the fixture or the main, stop using drains if sewage is involved and keep children and pets away from standing water. Then call and describe what you see.

What every visit includes

The plumber finds the cause before quoting the work, explains the options in plain words and gives a price before starting. You choose whether to go ahead, and you get a short written summary of what was found and what was done.

Emergency calls and planned jobs follow the same steps. The difference is speed: an emergency call is routed straight to a plumber, and planned work is booked for a time that suits you.
