First, locate and turn off your property's main water shutoff valve (usually situated in the basement, utility closet, or near the water meter) to stop active water flow. Next, open a low-level faucet to relieve residual water line pressure. Turn off electrical power to any flooded areas at the breaker panel, avoid using plumbing fixtures, and call 877-410-0321 for live safety instructions while our technician is en route.

If your water heater is under 8-10 years old and experiencing a faulty thermostat, failed heating element, or broken thermocouple, an affordable repair is usually recommended. However, if the internal tank is corroded, leaking from the base, or over 10-12 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency tankless or hybrid system can save up to 40% on water heating utility bills. Our Scranton plumbers will inspect your system and provide honest options.

Yes, we use advanced waterproof, self-leveling sewer inspection cameras equipped with radio sondes. We feed the camera down your main cleanout to visually inspect the interior condition of your sewer line, identifying cracked joints, pipe bellies, and invasive tree roots, and pin-pointing the exact depth and location from above ground.
