Your water pressure is back to normal. Your pipes aren’t making those weird noises anymore. Your water heater actually heats water when you need it.
That’s what happens when you work with a plumber who knows what they’re doing. No more calling three different contractors to get one job done right. No more wondering if the price is fair or if corners are being cut.
You get transparent pricing, professional work, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plumbing system is in capable hands.
We’ve been serving College/Glen homeowners for years, and we understand something most plumbers don’t: your 1960s home has plumbing challenges that newer construction doesn’t face.
Those galvanized pipes that are starting to corrode. The sewer lines that tree roots love to invade. The water pressure issues that come with decades-old systems trying to keep up with modern demands.
We’ve seen it all in this neighborhood, and more importantly, we know exactly how to fix it. When you call us, you’re not getting a plumber who’s guessing – you’re getting someone who’s solved these exact problems in houses just like yours.
First, we show up when we say we will. That means if we schedule for Tuesday at 2 PM, we’re there Tuesday at 2 PM, not Wednesday afternoon with an excuse.
Next, we diagnose the actual problem using proper tools – including camera inspections when needed. No guessing, no unnecessary work, no inflated bills for services you don’t need.
Then we explain what we found in plain English and give you an upfront price before any work begins. If you’re dealing with something common to College/Glen homes – like root intrusion in your sewer line or pressure issues from old galvanized pipes – we’ll walk you through your options and help you make the best decision for your situation and budget.
Ready to get started?
Your College/Glen home needs a plumbing contractor who understands the specific challenges of 1960s construction. We handle everything from emergency repairs to complete system upgrades.
Water heater replacement and repair, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, pipe replacement, fixture installation, leak detection – if it involves water flowing through your home, we take care of it. We’re particularly experienced with the galvanized pipe issues common in this area and the sewer problems that come with mature trees and aging clay pipes.
Most importantly, we’re available 24/7 for emergencies because plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours. When your main line backs up on Sunday night or your water heater fails on Christmas morning, we answer the phone and get someone to your house.
Most homes in College/Glen were built in the 1960s when plumbing standards and materials were different than today. The galvanized steel pipes commonly used then are now 60+ years old and prone to corrosion, rust buildup, and reduced water flow.
Additionally, many of these homes have sewer lines made of clay or cast iron that are susceptible to tree root intrusion – a big problem in a neighborhood with mature landscaping. The combination of aging infrastructure and materials that weren’t designed to last this long creates the perfect storm for plumbing issues.
The good news is that these problems are predictable and fixable when you work with a plumber who understands older home plumbing systems.
The cost depends entirely on what needs to be fixed and how extensive the problem is. A simple drain cleaning might run $150-300, while replacing a section of corroded pipe could be $500-1500 depending on accessibility and length.
For major issues like full pipe replacement or sewer line repair, costs can range from $3000-8000, but these are investments that solve problems permanently rather than temporary fixes that’ll need attention again in six months.
We always provide upfront pricing before any work begins, and we often find ways to solve problems for less than homeowners expect. The key is getting an accurate diagnosis first so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
This is one of the most common questions we get from College/Glen homeowners, and the answer depends on your specific situation. If you’re seeing multiple issues – low water pressure, discolored water, frequent leaks – it’s often more cost-effective to do a complete repipe.
However, if you’re only having isolated problems and the rest of your system seems stable, targeted repairs can buy you time while you plan for eventual replacement.
We’ll assess your entire system and give you honest advice about what makes sense for your home and budget. Sometimes a partial repipe of the worst sections is the smart middle ground that solves immediate problems while spreading out the investment.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service throughout College/Glen. Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, and we understand that a burst pipe or sewer backup needs immediate attention.
We typically respond to emergency calls within 1-2 hours, depending on the situation and time of day. Our emergency service covers everything from major leaks and pipe bursts to sewer backups and water heater failures.
Emergency service does carry a premium over regular business hours, but we’re upfront about pricing and focus on getting your immediate problem stopped first, then discussing longer-term solutions once the crisis is handled.
Tree roots in sewer lines are extremely common in College/Glen due to the mature landscaping and aging clay or cast iron sewer pipes. The most obvious signs are slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, and sewage backups.
You might also notice soft spots in your yard, unusually green patches of grass, or sewage odors outside. These indicate that roots have damaged the line enough to cause leaks.
The only way to know for certain is with a camera inspection, which we can do quickly and affordably. The camera shows us exactly where roots have penetrated and how extensive the damage is, so we can recommend the most cost-effective solution – whether that’s root removal, pipe lining, or section replacement.
Pipe repair typically involves fixing a specific problem area – patching a leak, clearing a blockage, or replacing a short damaged section. This works well when the rest of your plumbing system is in good condition and you’re dealing with an isolated issue.
Pipe replacement means installing new pipes to replace old, corroded, or failing ones. This might be a partial replacement of the worst sections or a complete repipe depending on your system’s condition.
In College/Glen homes, we often recommend targeted replacement of the most problematic areas first – usually the hot water lines, which fail faster than cold water lines in galvanized systems. This approach spreads out the investment while solving the most urgent problems first.
