John Goldsten

Dave was very professional, conversant, explained everything, and is a bit of a perfectionist in his work, which are all good qualities. He performed a warranty repair on my water heater (a corroded heating element) at no charge to me. I highly recommend recommend having a service contract 😉

Shelby Mongelluzzo

What a wonderful experience in light of a very stressful time! David was so kind, transparent and courteous with us every step of the way when trying to solve our problem. I am Happy to say I will definitely be using them for all our needs in the future!

Jennifer Greb

We were so pleased with the timely and thorough service, especially during an emergent situation. Our technician, Ira, was top-notch - he was extremely kind and explained the needs and repairs completely, and his work ethic was impressive.

Christopher Greene

Chris did a phenomenal job! Extremely professional, provided detailed assessment of the problem, worked diligently on a complex problem, and finished with excellence on the details (e.g. caulking, etc.) Really, really well done!

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Columbia water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Columbia, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Columbia plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Columbia home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Columbia to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Columbia?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Columbia property?

For most homes in Columbia, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Columbia, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Columbia?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Columbia home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Columbia home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Columbia homes?

Older homes in Columbia often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Columbia?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Columbia, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Columbia?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your MD home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
