Drain Cleaning

New Haven's historic homes in Downtown and East Rock, combined with Yale University housing and newer developments in West Haven, create a wide range of drain challenges. Our techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and aging cast-iron lines.

Common New Haven Drain Issues

• Tree root intrusion in clay sewer lines (East Rock, Wooster Square)
• Grease accumulation in multi-family units (Downtown, Fair Haven)
• Yale housing drain overflows during move-in/move-out

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water in a New Haven winter is an emergency. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, plus boiler systems common in older New Haven homes. We understand steam heat, hot water baseboard, and forced hot air 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 Connecticut code

Leak Detection

New Haven's freeze-thaw cycles and historic infrastructure make hidden leaks a constant threat. Our electronic leak detection finds slab leaks, wall leaks, and underground line breaks before they damage your foundation or spike your SAWC water bill.

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
