Plumbing Repairs, Inspection & Installation
Expert diagnosis and repair of leaks, fixtures, and supply problems, backed by professional inspection and diagnosis. Our plumbers are trained to resolve up to 90% of issues on the first visit.
Piping, Repiping & Lead Service Lines
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping for the aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era systems common in this area's older homes, plus water service line and frozen pipe repair.
Leak Detection
We offer non-destructive leak detection, leak repair, and pool leak detection, finding hidden leaks in walls, under floors, and in buried lines, protecting the finished space of a fine home before any cutting.
Sump Pumps & Basement Protection
Sump pump installation and repair and water pump service, with backup systems and drainage to guard finished basements against the Ohio River valley's high water table, spring rains, and snowmelt.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, a common upgrade in larger homes with high hot-water demand.
Water Filtration & Treatment
Water softeners and filtration and whole-home systems that refine Louisville's already-excellent Ohio River tap water, cutting scale and improving taste, while a moderate hardness helps protect older pipes.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, buildup, and the tree roots that reach into lines beneath the area's mature canopy.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless options for root intrusion and aging clay and cast-iron laterals, often with minimal digging in a landscaped yard.
Outdoor, Pool & Fixture Plumbing
Outdoor plumbing, pool pump service, and faucet, toilet, shower, bathtub, and garbage disposal repair and installation.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the offices, shops, and businesses along the Brownsboro Road and US 42 corridors of eastern Louisville.

Northfield's substantial, established homes, many with mature landscaping and generous square footage, shape its plumbing needs. Homes of this era commonly carry aging galvanized and cast-iron pipe and sometimes lead-era service lines. This makes repiping and line replacement worthwhile. Their size also means multiple bathrooms and water heaters worth keeping in good repair. The neighborhood's beautiful old trees, though, make sewer service a headline concern. Roots reach into aging clay and cast-iron laterals, so drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and trenchless sewer repair are frequent. Trenchless methods spare Northfield's manicured yards.

Set in the Ohio River valley, Northfield's homes have full basements where sump pumps, backups, and drainage guard against the water table, spring rains, and snowmelt. Kentucky winters bring hard freezes that threaten exposed and long pipe runs. Louisville's moderately hard Ohio River tap water also invites whole-home filtration to refine taste and control scale.

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Northfield sewer line keep backing up?

Northfield's mature trees send roots into aging clay and cast-iron laterals. We camera-inspect, clear the line with hydro jetting, and repair or replace it, often trenchless to spare your yard.

What is trenchless sewer repair?

It replaces or relines a sewer lateral with little or no digging, protecting your landscaping and driveway. We assess whether your line is a candidate.

Should I repipe my older Northfield home?

If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping is a lasting fix. We inspect and recommend honestly.

How do I keep my basement dry?

A properly sized sump pump with backup and good drainage protects against the river-valley water table and spring rains. We install and maintain them.
