Expert Solutions for Plumbing and HVAC Issues
We employ swift leak discovery by means of pressure testing, acoustic tracing, and thermal imaging to identify problems without harming finishes. For heating, we service boilers and furnaces to manufacturer specifications - conducting combustion analysis, venting verification, gas-pressure calibration, and control diagnostics - so systems run within code tolerances. We lock out dangerous equipment, resolve issues, and resume service with certified test results.
Fast Leak Detection
The fastest way to protect your property and achieve code compliance is through rapid leak detection employing calibrated instruments and tested methods. Our process starts with shutting isolation valves, monitoring meter movement, and confirming pressures. Following this we utilize acoustic detection to identify pressurized line leaks in slabs, walls, or buried runs, removing ambient noise to detect small flow signatures. Heat mapping shows temperature variations that point to concealed water paths, distinguishing supply leaks from moisture buildup or infiltration. We validate findings through tracer gas or dye testing when specifications require. You receive a complete report, photos, and coordinates for precise repairs, minimizing demolition, mitigating mold risk, and ensuring full code compliance.
Boiler and Furnace Repair
After detecting and recording leaks, we immediately proceed with establishing safe heating function by examining heating systems to code. We begin with thorough diagnostics: verifying pressure readings, manifold configurations, draft ventilation, ventilation systems, and safeties. We evaluate control switches, flame detection units, igniters, circulation pumps, and zone valves, then inspect heat exchangers for damage and flue pathways for restrictions. For hydronic systems, we purge air, calibrate expansion tank pressure, and optimize circulators. For furnaces, we adjust blower speeds and confirm secure duct sealing.
We clear clogs, descale heat-transfer surfaces, and replace failed gaskets and valves using certified replacement components. We tune combustion for proper CO/CO2 and O2, ensuring chimney draft and condensate neutralization. We then complete compliance documentation, work on optimizing energy usage, and ensure stable operational efficiency and secure system shutdown.
Safety-First Repairs and Preventive Maintenance
Actively managing each repair with safety at the forefront maintains the compliance and reliability of your plumbing and heating systems. You get work executed to code, with verifiable documentation and test results. Our process starts with seasonal inspections to detect wear, leaks, combustion issues, and venting defects prior to escalation. We carry out CO testing for all fuel-burning equipment, validate draft performance, and ensure proper make-up air and clearance specifications. We install new shutoff valves when needed, ensure proper bonding and grounding, and implement necessary seismic protection. We test pressure relief valves, expansion tanks, and backflow preventers, then adjust thermostats and safety controls. Drainage traps, condensate lines, and sump systems are cleaned and prepared to avoid contamination and flooding. We conclude by performing load checks, labeling, and a corrective action plan.
Transparent Pricing, Communication, and Client Care
We consistently break down scope, labor, materials, permits, and inspection fees at the beginning ensuring transparency in your approval process. We deliver written, code-referenced initial quotes that define tasks, fixture counts, pipe types, BTU ratings, and required clearances. We thoroughly discuss all choices, expenses, and regulatory requirements prior to your commitment.
We keep open communication all through the job. You'll get regular updates-arrival confirmation, pre-work walkthrough, change-order pricing, and post-test results-with images, meter readings, and performance metrics. Should on-site situations demand modifications, we document findings, cite applicable code sections, and get your approval before moving forward.
Our customer care team emphasizes respect and safety of your property. We safeguard all workspaces, label all shutoffs, confirm safety lockouts, and offer usage instructions, warranty specifics, and maintenance recommendations at job completion, all detailed in your service record.
Support Hours, Emergency Response, and Service Locations
