Expert Solutions for Plumbing and HVAC Issues
We employ swift leak detection utilizing pressure testing, acoustic tracing, and thermal imaging to isolate issues without damaging finishes. For heating, we service boilers and furnaces to factory standards - conducting combustion analysis, venting verification, gas-pressure calibration, and control diagnostics - so systems function within code tolerances. We lock out hazardous equipment, fix issues, and reinstate service with documented test results.
Rapid Leak Discovery
The most efficient method to safeguard your property and ensure code compliance is through rapid leak detection using calibrated instruments and established methods. Our process starts with closing isolation valves, monitoring meter movement, and confirming pressures. Following this we utilize acoustic detection to locate pressurized line leaks in slabs, walls, or buried runs, filtering ambient noise to identify small flow signatures. Infrared scanning detects temperature variations that suggest concealed water paths, distinguishing supply leaks from condensation or infiltration. We confirm findings using tracer gas or dye testing when specifications require. You receive a complete report, photos, and coordinates for precise repairs, limiting demolition, avoiding mold risk, and maintaining full code compliance.
Heating System Repair Services
With leaks located and logged, we immediately proceed with establishing safe heating function by inspecting HVAC equipment to code. We begin with comprehensive diagnostics: verifying gas levels, manifold parameters, draft ventilation, combustion air, and safeties. We test control switches, flame detection units, ignition systems, water pumps, and zone control valves, then inspect thermal exchangers for damage and ventilation routes for obstructions. For hydronic systems, we purge air, adjust tank charge, and balance circulators. For furnaces, we adjust air flow rates and confirm proper duct connections.
We clear clogs, descale heat-transfer surfaces, and replace failed gaskets and valves using certified replacement components. We adjust combustion parameters to achieve optimal CO/CO2 and O2 levels, maintaining proper draft function and condensate balance. Lastly, we record all code compliance measures, work on optimizing energy usage, and verify steady-state efficiency and safe shutdown.
Safety-First Repairs and Preventive Maintenance
Actively managing all repairs with safety as the priority ensures your plumbing and heating systems remain compliant and dependable. You get work executed to code, along with detailed documentation and test outcomes. We start by conducting seasonal inspections to catch system wear, leakage, combustion problems, and vent issues before they escalate. We carry out carbon monoxide checks on fuel-burning systems, confirm draft integrity, and verify make-up air and clearances. We update faulty shutoff valves, update bonding and grounding, and install seismic strapping where required. We verify pressure relief valves, expansion tanks, and backflow prevention devices, then calibrate thermostats and safety limits. Drain traps, condensate piping, and sump installations are maintained and primed to stop cross-contamination and overflow issues. We conclude by performing load testing, system labeling, and developing an action plan.
Clear Pricing, Communication, and Customer Service
Our team meticulously break down all costs including labor, materials, permits, and inspections upfront so you can approve work without surprises. We provide comprehensive, code-specific initial quotes specifying every technical detail from fixtures to clearance requirements. We explain options, costs, and compliance impacts before you sign.
We maintain transparent communication throughout the job. We provide you with regular updates-arrival confirmation, pre-work walkthrough, modification costs, and post-test results-with pictures, meter readings, and performance metrics. If site conditions require adjustments, we document findings, identify pertinent codes, and get your approval before proceeding.
Our service professionals focuses on careful handling of your property. We protect work areas, identify utility shutoffs, ensure proper isolation procedures, and offer operation guidance, warranty information, and upkeep guidelines at job completion, all documented in your service history.
