Drain Cleaning

Erie's housing stock includes historic homes near downtown, lakefront properties, and mid-century ranches in Millcreek. Our drain techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and lake sediment.

Common Erie Drain Issues

• Tree root intrusion in clay sewer lines (older neighborhoods)
• Grease accumulation in kitchen drains
• Storm debris backups during lake effect storms

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water during an Erie winter is a serious emergency. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, plus boiler systems common in older Erie homes. We understand steam heat and forced hot water systems.

Water Heater Services

• Boiler repair and replacement (steam and hot water)
• Tankless water heater descaling
• Same-day replacement for failed units
• Expansion tank and backflow prevention per Pennsylvania code

Leak Detection

Erie's extreme freeze-thaw cycles and lake effect moisture make hidden leaks a constant threat. Our electronic leak detection finds slab leaks, wall leaks, and underground line breaks before they damage your foundation.

Leak Detection Services

• Acoustic leak detection for underground lines
• Thermal imaging for wall and ceiling leaks
• Slab leak pinpointing and repair
• Meter verification and pressure testing

Local Context

Erie sits on the shore of Lake Erie with some of the snowiest winters in the United States. Lake effect snow and subzero temperatures create extreme plumbing challenges. Homes near the lake face corrosion from moisture, while older homes in the city center have plumbing from the early 1900s. Nearby landmarks include Presque Isle State Park, the Erie Maritime Museum, and Waldameer Park — our plumbers know every neighborhood and the best routes during snow emergencies.
