Emergency Plumbing
Our 24/7 emergency plumbing services address burst pipes, leaks, and system failures with rapid response times. Trained technicians use advanced tools to minimize damage and restore functionality. Customers benefit from same-day appointments and transparent pricing for critical situations.
Water Heater Repair
We diagnose and fix inconsistent hot water, leaks, and efficiency issues for tank and tankless units. Services include annual maintenance, part replacements, and energy-efficient upgrades. Technicians provide cost-effective solutions to extend system lifespan and reduce utility bills.
Drain Cleaning
Advanced hydro jetting and camera inspections clear stubborn blockages and prevent recurring issues. Our methods restore optimal flow in residential and commercial drainage systems. Customers receive long-term solutions for slow or backed-up drains in kitchens, bathrooms, and sewer lines.
Sewer Inspection
High-resolution camera inspections identify cracks, root intrusion, and corrosion in underground sewer lines. This non-invasive method enables precise repairs and prevents costly excavations. Commercial and residential clients benefit from accurate diagnostics and targeted rehabilitation strategies.
Leak Detection
Specialized acoustic equipment locates hidden leaks in walls, foundations, and underground pipes. Our technicians perform pressure tests and thermal imaging to pinpoint issues without destructive probing. This service conserves water, prevents structural damage, and reduces utility costs for homeowners and businesses.

Our water heater pilot went out on 12/28/2021 and I weren't able to relit it. I contacted many water heater companies, but some were out and some couldn't come out until later. Plumbing Plus managed to be able to send a technician in the afternoon, I was relieved and hopeful that we could have hot water back. The technician came and diagnosed the issue, he explained to me what his proposed repair was, which was to replace one of the parts in the ignition unit. That was a ~$400 fix and being desperate, I asked him to proceed. One hour later, he told me he wasn't able to take the

Thank you Jordon! Not only did you fix our water valve in the kitchen but you took care of the backyard leak as well. Your professionalism and explaining of our issues was spot on! We are 20+ years clients. We will use NO ONE ELSE!

I needed a plumber to come fix a leak in my shower and sink vanity. Christina responded quickly and my appointment was set up within 24 hours. Great company! Martin came to fix the leak in my shower and sink faucet. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and efficient! I really appreciate his hardwork! I will definitely request Martin again!

Excellent. Our water heater broke and I called around. This was the first company that found a way to send someone the same day! They diagnosed the problem correctly, got the part and came back later in the day to install it. Repair guy stayed until 7 pm to get it fixed. Super nice people. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Replaced our water heater BEFORE it had a problem as we knew it was getting old. After talking to three plumbing/water heater "experts", we chose Plumbing Plus for their 1) Professionalism - Tech Darryl Fountain was on time, easy to deal with, answered all of our questions. 2) Knowledge - there are new "codes" that have to be met and Plumbing Plus knew all about them and explained clearly what we needed to do. 3) Price - they were not the least expensive, but their bid was comprehensive, clear and no unexpected add-ons or surprises came up.

Plumbing Plus did OUTSTANDING WORK on replacing my six bathroom sink faucets, six bathroom sink drains, three shower heads, three shower control valves, two shower/tub fill necks, and two shower/tub drains. A special shout-out to Lamonte and Matt for their professionalism (wore booties over their work boots and masks throughout the entire job!) and for working with me to finish the job just as I wanted it. Out of all the above work, only ONE bathroom sink drain had a small leak. It was a simple phone call and within less than 48-hours, Lamonte returned to fix it at no charge! They far exceeded
