Professional Services for Leaks, Clogs, and Heating Systems

You get quick leak identification by means of thermal imaging, pressure testing, and acoustic tracing to locate faults without damaging finishes. For heating, we fix boilers and furnaces to OEM specs - performing combustion analysis, venting verification, gas-pressure calibration, and control diagnostics - making sure systems run within code tolerances. We lock out unsafe equipment, correct defects, and restore service with certified test results.

Quick Leak Detection

The fastest method to safeguard your property and achieve code compliance is by using swift leak detection using calibrated instruments and proven methods. We initiate by shutting isolation valves, monitoring meter movement, and verifying pressures. Next we employ acoustic detection to locate pressurized line leaks through slabs, walls, or buried runs, filtering ambient noise to identify small flow signatures. Thermal imaging reveals temperature variations that suggest concealed water paths, differentiating supply leaks from condensation or infiltration. We validate findings through tracer gas or dye testing when specifications require. You receive a complete report, photos, and coordinates for exact repairs, reducing demolition, preventing mold risk, and restoring full code compliance.

Boiler & Furnace Repair Solutions

After detecting and recording leaks, we move directly to restoring safe heating operations by diagnosing boilers and furnaces to code. We begin with comprehensive diagnostics: verifying gas pressure, manifold settings, draft ventilation, ventilation systems, and safety mechanisms. We assess limit switches, flame detection units, ignition systems, circulation pumps, and zoning valves, then check heat exchangers for damage and flue pathways for restrictions. For hydronic systems, we eliminate air, adjust system pressure, and regulate circulation. For furnaces, we fine-tune blower speeds and ensure sealed ductwork.

We clear clogs, descale heat-transfer surfaces, and replace failed gaskets and valves using rated components. We tune combustion for proper CO/CO2 and O2, verifying chimney draft and condensate neutralization. We then complete compliance documentation, focus on maximizing energy efficiency, and ensure stable operational efficiency and secure system shutdown.

Safety-Focused Repairs and Preventive Maintenance

Taking a proactive approach to every repair as a safety-critical task maintains the compliance and reliability of your plumbing and heating systems. All work is performed to code specifications, including comprehensive documentation and testing. We begin with periodic assessments to catch system wear, leakage, combustion problems, and vent issues prior to escalation. We carry out carbon monoxide checks on fuel-burning systems, confirm draft integrity, and ensure proper make-up air and clearance specifications. We replace compromised shutoff valves, update bonding and grounding, and install seismic strapping where required. We test pressure relief valves, expansion tanks, and backflow preventers, then fine-tune thermostats and safety parameters. Drainage traps, condensate lines, and sump systems are cleared and primed to stop cross-contamination and overflow issues. We finish with load testing, system labeling, and developing an action plan.

Clear Pricing, Communication, and Customer Service

We consistently itemize all costs including labor, materials, permits, and inspections from the start ensuring transparency in your approval process. We deliver comprehensive, code-specific preliminary calculations that define tasks, fixture counts, pipe types, BTU ratings, and required clearances. We explain options, costs, and compliance impacts before you sign.

We maintain open communication during the job. We provide you with regular updates-arrival confirmation, pre-work walkthrough, price adjustments, and testing outcomes-with pictures, meter readings, and performance metrics. When job conditions need changes, we record our observations, cite applicable code sections, and get your approval before proceeding.

Our dedicated staff focuses on careful handling of your property. We safeguard all workspaces, identify utility shutoffs, verify isolation and lockout, and offer operation guidance, warranty specifics, and upkeep guidelines at project completion, all recorded in your service record.
