Water Services: Replacing the water service from the city meter to your home is often necessary for many of the same reasons as needing a re-pipe.
Water services replacements are often needed due to:
Aging infrastructure, lack of water pressure, contaminated water supply, pipe material issues, increased water bills from breaks/leaks, landscaping, ground shifts or root intrusion, home renovations, upgrades or code compliance.
Water service replacements are done by either trenching up the current pipe and replacing or by Trenchless directional drilling (Boring) which is less disruptive to yards and landscaping.
We take care of our clients’ needs as if they were our own needs and expectations.

We want to make sure you have all the answers to your plumbing questions.
If sewage is coming out of multiple fixtures in your house, this is a sign of a backed up main building drain or building sewer.
The first thing to do is to stop putting any more water down the drains; it will just flood back out of the lowest fixtures.
If the home has an exterior sewer cleanout (something we recommend every home have), you can open the cap on the cleanout. This will keep more sewage from backing up into your home.
Clogs like this require heavy duty drain cleaning equipment, so the next step is to call a licensed professional to solve the clog.
In our area, water meters are usually found in a box in the ground out by the street. This box is often where you find the only valve to shut off water to the house in case of emergency.
However, many of these valves are in poor condition or missing. Every homeowner should know how to shut off water easily to their house. If your home doesn’t have a smoothly functioning shutoff valve, it’s much easier to replace before an emergency happens.
To avoid clogs, it’s important to not put anything down the drains that doesn’t need to be there. Pouring grease down the kitchen sink will eventually create a massive grease clog that is difficult to remove.
Sanitary napkins, tampons, and paper towels don’t belong in a toilet. And remember, there’s no such thing as a “flushable” wet wipe!
Most tank style heaters have a lifespan of about 10-15 years. Modern tankless heaters have a lifespan of over 25 years. However, with both types of heaters, regular maintenance is important to extend that lifespan as much as possible. We recommend getting a water heater serviced once a year.
Root intrusions are a symptom of damaged or poorly installed sewer piping. Drain cleaning machines can clear many of those roots from the pipe, and water jetting is an even more effective option for returning the pipe to it’s full function.
However, the roots will continue to grow into the pipe until the underlying problem is fixed and the piping is repaired.
Some older piping materials have held up to time and use better than others. Copper water piping, for example, often has a long life with few issues.
However, galvanized steel water and drain lines, which are found in many homes in our area, can cause quite a few problems as they age. Galvanized water lines rust on the inside, which then flakes off and clogs showers, sinks, and toilets, lowering water pressure. Galvanized drain lines corrode as well, causing more frequent clogs as well as waste leaks in the crawlspace.
To avoid future problems, we often recommend replacing these pipes when possible.
We employ the newest techniques and tech to help our customers take advantage of quicker and longer lasting plumbing repairs.

My hot water heater was leaking, I called multiple plumbers and everyone was booked out a week. Precision plumbing not only corrected the leak but took the time to provide a plumbing safety inspection to let me know of any upcoming concerns to be aware of. He was proactive, patient and answered all my questions. I am grateful for a business owner who educates his clients. Thank you!
