Services

Drain Cleaning

Our 40+ service vans handle all drain problems using advanced diagnostics to identify and clear obstructions. We employ hydro jetting technology and traditional methods for residential and commercial applications. Our technicians resolve clogs caused by grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects while minimizing property disruption.

Water Heaters

We install, service, and repair all water heater types including gas, electric, tankless, and high-efficiency models. As preferred providers for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith, we ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Our technicians handle emergency replacements and routine maintenance for residential and commercial clients.

Leak Detection

Using state-of-the-art acoustic equipment, we pinpoint underground leaks in water mains, gas lines, and pool systems without destructive excavation. Our non-invasive methods identify hidden leaks in walls and foundations, preventing water damage while maintaining structural integrity.

Trenchless Piping

We offer pipelining and pipe bursting alternatives to traditional replacements. These methods reduce excavation needs by 80-90%, minimizing landscape disruption and restoration costs. Our trenchless solutions work for sewer lines, water mains, and industrial piping systems with minimal downtime.

Emergency Repairs

Our dedicated technicians respond to urgent plumbing issues day or night. We maintain rapid response capabilities through strategically located service vehicles and on-call staff. Emergency services include burst pipe repairs, sewer backups, and critical system failures with same-day resolution prioritization.

Excellent work from the second tech that came out. Went above and beyond to make sure situation was solved.

I am a teacher at a charter school in midtown where Lexington plumbing came and did some work. They were contracted by my school to unclog the grease trap in our kitchen, which is adjacent to my classroom area. Since this kind of work requires the use of chemicals and also leads to the release of noxious odors, you would think that they would insist on doing this work after school hours when there aren't teachers and students present. Unfortunately the building manager was not informed that this work would produce unsafe conditions, and myself and my kindergarteners were exposed to the noxious

In January 2021 I had a plumber from this company come out to disconnect the gas line to the stove in our apartment so that flooring could be replaced. The next day the stove was reconnected but the connection was loose and there was a gas leak. I paid $235 . I had to call them back out in August and they tightened the connection but claimed that it was not under warranty and sent me a second service bill. Should have apologized for putting my family at risk from leaking gas for eight months . Would not recommend to anybody.

Impeccable. From having sink plumbing installed in the basement to also repairing our sewer main, they are 5 star all the way!! From Don to Brian to Ian, to the crew that came out and did the installs/repairs....It's wonderful to have a company do work for you that is dependable. They showed up on time, were very clean in their work and cleaned up well after the work was completed, as well as being very accommodating to concerns as a homeowner (being cognizant of the yard and using plywood on the grass for equipment, etc....) I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing work done and have
