• Grease accumulation in kitchen drains
• Storm debris backups during spring thaws

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water during a South Bend winter is an emergency. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters across St. Joseph County. South Bend's hard water shortens water heater life — annual flushing is recommended.

Water Heater Services

• Pilot light and thermocouple repair
• Tankless water heater descaling
• Same-day replacement for failed units
• Expansion tank installation per Indiana code

Leak Detection

South Bend's freeze-thaw cycles and aging 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.

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
