Backflow inspections
Protect your drinking water supply with comprehensive backflow inspections. Our certified technicians assess your backflow prevention devices to ensure they're functioning correctly and preventing contaminated water from entering your clean water lines. Regular testing is required by local regulations and helps you avoid potential fines and dangerous health risks. During an inspection, we:
- Isolate and test the prevention device
- Use calibrated gauges to monitor pressure
- Check for worn or faulty components
- Provide a detailed compliance report
Leak Detection
Even a small hidden leak can lead to costly water damage, mold growth, and high utility bills. Our advanced leak detection service uses non-invasive tools and expert techniques to quickly locate leaks, whether they’re behind the walls, underground, or under slabs. Signs you may need leak detection include:
- Unexplained spike in water bills
- Sounds of running water when no fixtures are on
- Damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
- Mildew or persistent musty odors
Drain Cleaning
Clogged or slow drains are a common frustration, but DIY fixes rarely address the root problem. Our drain cleaning specialists clear tough blockages and restore proper flow—safely, effectively, and without damaging your pipes. If you notice:
- Water backing up in sinks, tubs, or toilets
- Foul odors coming from your drains
- Gurgling sounds after water use

- Hydro Jetting is best for heavy buildup, grease, roots, sludge
When to Choose Hydro Jetting:
- Recurring clogs that snaking doesn’t fix
- Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
