Some plumbing problems need attention before they cause more damage. If you're dealing with one of these issues, call and tell us what you're seeing, hearing or experiencing.
Water escaping from a pipe, fitting or supply line can quickly spread to surrounding floors, walls and belongings.
A toilet that won't drain properly or is threatening to overflow may need professional attention before it's used again.
Wastewater or drainage backing up into fixtures or floor drains can point to a blockage or another problem in the line.
Visible leaking or unexplained water around plumbing fixtures, appliances or pipes should be investigated before more damage occurs.
Serious clogs, recurring backups or drains that have stopped flowing may require drain cleaning and further diagnosis.
A leaking or malfunctioning water heater may need to be assessed to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong. Describe what you're seeing, hearing or experiencing and give us as much useful information as you can.

Some plumbing problems aren't obvious from the outside. This rear-discharge toilet required an assessment to identify the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
This toilet uses a rear-discharge setup, with the flange and seal located behind the toilet at the wall. When the seal developed a problem, a significant amount of water could escape.
Greg assessed the leak, explained what he found and documented the work that was needed. The new parts and main discharge seal were then aligned and installed as part of the repair.
