Services
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Our trenchless sewer repair technology preserves landscaping while replacing damaged pipes. This minimally invasive method creates durable pipe linings without excavation, reducing property disruption. Ideal for residential and municipal applications, this solution extends system lifespan while maintaining surface integrity.
Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting removes pipe obstructions using water streams at 4,000 PSI. This chemical-free method clears blockages and buildup without damaging plumbing systems. Commercial and residential properties benefit from thorough cleaning that prevents recurring clogs and maintains optimal flow rates.

We specialize in restoring manhole functionality through structural repairs and corrosion prevention. Our process addresses brick/mortar and concrete deterioration while maintaining access points for utility systems. This critical maintenance prevents water infiltration and extends infrastructure longevity for municipal and industrial clients.

They were sent via a warranty company. When they showed up and didn't want to even do the work. They almost just stood on my porch and turned around and left. I had to beg they to even look at it. They tried quoting me this huge removing the wall job. But then turned around and told the warranty company it was "grease" (had a different company come - and it was neither of these things) . Which isnt what they said was the problem. But either way nothing was fixed or resolved. They dont want to do warranty work because it doesnt pay. Dont use them. They cant get their stories straight and nothing

As mentioned in another review, I also was referred to H&R thru a home warranty repair request. They came on-site and were gone in less than 5 minutes saying they would file the warranty paperwork and complete the repair within a couple days. Its now been 5 weeks and Ive called to follow up with no response. Ive removed my request to use this company going forward.

Terrible customer service. We had a home warranty and were referred to H&R and had to pay a $75 service fee and were told it would be covered. A plumber came out and said we needed a new toilet and that they would get the paperwork handled and would get back to us that same day. We have five people in our house using one toilet and this was an urgent need. No word back by the next day and I called H & R this morning and was told no update yet. I then reached out to Fidelity Home Warranty and I sat on hold for hours. Finally I was able to receive an automated message regarding our status of our
