What We Handle

• Burst pipes and frozen line repair
• Gas leak detection and emergency shutoff
• Sewer backups and overflowing toilets
• Emergency sump pump repair and replacement

Drain Cleaning

Suffolk's housing stock includes historic homes in the downtown area, rural properties with well and septic systems, and newer developments in the northern corridor. Our drain techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and sediment.

Common Suffolk Drain Issues

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

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water is an emergency any time of year. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters across Suffolk. The hard water in rural areas 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 Virginia code

Leak Detection

Suffolk's coastal climate and rural 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
