Drain Cleaning: What We Do Differently
Continue
A slow drain isn't just annoying. Left alone, it becomes a full blockage, and a full blockage can back up into your home fast. We use video camera inspections to see exactly what's going on before we start clearing. That matters because treating a grease clog the same way you'd treat a root intrusion is a mistake plenty of companies make. Once we know what we're dealing with, we choose the right method. For stubborn buildup or pipes that need to be cleaned before a repair, hydro jetting is the right call. For standard clogs, a snake or rooter does the job without the extra step. We don't upsell you on hydro jetting when a snake is all you need. Check out what the store-bought alternatives can cost you before you reach for a bottle from the hardware aisle.

New plumbing fixtures are only as good as the installation. We handle fixture installs and repairs for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility areas. If a remodel is coming up, we coordinate directly with your other contractors so the plumbing portion doesn't slow the project down. For new construction, we're involved from rough-in through final inspection. Hiring a plumber early in a build avoids costly corrections later. We also run video camera inspections for homes where the pipe condition is unknown, which comes up often with older Iron County housing stock. If you're buying a property or haven't had your lines checked in years, a camera inspection is a smart first step. You can review our full service areas to confirm coverage before you call.
FAQ Common questions
When to Call a Plumber Instead of Attempting a DIY Fix
Answers below
Some repairs genuinely aren't worth attempting yourself. Here's the honest breakdown.
Can I snake my own drain, or should I call a professional? +
A basic hand snake works on surface-level clogs close to the drain opening. The problem is most recurring blockages sit deeper in the line, and using the wrong equipment can score plastic pipe or push a clog further in. If the drain is slow again within a week of clearing it yourself, the blockage is further down than a consumer snake reaches. That's when to call.
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement? +
Age is the clearest signal. A tank water heater past 10 to 12 years showing rust in the hot water, inconsistent temperature, or a corroded anode rod is typically a replacement candidate. Leaks from the tank body are rarely repairable. Leaks from fittings or a faulty pressure relief valve usually are. We'll tell you which situation you're in without pushing toward the more expensive option.
What does trenchless sewer repair involve, and is my property a candidate? +
Trenchless sewer repair lines the interior of your damaged pipe with an epoxy resin sleeve that cures in place. The result is a new pipe inside the old one. Most residential sewer lines qualify, but we run a video inspection first to confirm the pipe has enough structural integrity to hold the liner. Pipes that are fully collapsed or severely offset at joints may still require excavation.
Why does my plumbing work fine all day and then make noise or slow down at night? +
Night slowdowns often point to a partial blockage that restricts flow under normal usage volume, then backs up when the system has no recovery time. It can also indicate a venting issue. A venting problem affects drain pressure across the whole house rather than one fixture. Both issues need a camera inspection to diagnose correctly, not a chemical drain cleaner.
Are there situations where repiping is the smarter choice over repeated repairs? +
If a home has had two or more pinhole leaks in the same line within three years, the pipe material itself is failing. Repairing each leak individually costs more over time than a planned repipe and doesn't address the root cause. Galvanized steel pipe in homes built before the early 1970s is the most common culprit. A full repipe in copper or PEX removes that problem for decades.

FAQ Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers below
How does hydro jetting differ from a standard drain snake? +
A snake mechanically breaks through or retrieves a clog. Hydro jetting uses water at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI to completely scour pipe walls, removing grease, mineral buildup, and root tendrils that a snake leaves behind. It's the right choice when a clog keeps coming back, when pipes need to be thoroughly cleaned before a lining repair, or when a blockage is too dense for a mechanical auger to clear effectively.
What is epoxy resin pipe lining and how long does it last? +
Epoxy pipe lining is the core material used in trenchless sewer repair. A felt tube saturated with epoxy resin is inverted into the damaged host pipe and inflated against the pipe walls. Once cured, the liner bonds to the interior and forms a smooth, jointless pipe inside the original one. Properly installed liners are rated for 50 years. The finished pipe resists root intrusion and corrosion better than the original material.
Can a slab leak be repaired without breaking up the floor? +
In many cases, yes. Once we locate the leak using pressure testing and acoustic detection equipment, we evaluate whether the leak point is accessible through a targeted concrete cut or whether rerouting the line through the wall cavity is the better approach. Full slab demolition is rarely necessary for a single-point leak. We'll explain both options with honest tradeoffs before any work begins.
What's the difference between a tankless and a tank water heater for an Iron County home? +
A tankless unit heats water on demand and has no standby heat loss, which cuts energy use noticeably over a full year. The upfront cost is higher than a tank unit. For households with high simultaneous hot water demand, a single tankless unit may need to be sized up or paired with a second unit for peak loads. In a vacation cabin that sits empty for months, a tankless unit also eliminates the energy cost of keeping a full tank warm during vacancy.
How do I know if I have a gas leak and what should I do before the plumber arrives? +
Natural gas smells like rotten eggs due to a mercaptan additive. If you detect that smell, don't flip any electrical switches, don't use your phone inside the building, and don't try to locate the leak yourself. Turn off the main gas shutoff at the meter if it's safely accessible, leave the building, and call from outside. Our licensed technicians handle gas leak location and repair using calibrated detection equipment.
When does a slow drain mean I need a video camera inspection rather than just a cleaning? +
A video inspection is the right call when a drain clogs repeatedly within a short span, when multiple fixtures drain slowly at the same time, or when you're buying an older home and have no history on the sewer line. A camera shows root intrusion, pipe offset, buildup location, and any structural damage. Cleaning a structurally compromised pipe without knowing the condition first can worsen an existing crack or collapse.
