There's a water stain on my ceiling. How do you find the leak?

Water travels along joists and pipes before it drips, so the stain is rarely right under the leak. We check the fixtures above, pressure-test the supply piping and use moisture meters and thermal imaging to follow the water back to its source, then open the smallest area we can.

My water heater is making popping or rumbling noises. Is it failing?

That noise usually means mineral sediment has built up on the bottom of the tank and water is boiling underneath it. Flushing the tank can help if it is caught early; an older tank with rust in the water or a wet base is usually ready to be replaced.

How do I know if my sump pump will work in the next storm?

Dump a few gallons into the sump and watch: the float should rise, the pump should start on its own, and the water should drain down and stop. If it hums without pumping, runs nonstop or doesn't start at all, call before the snow melts or the next heavy rain arrives.

Can you run a gas line for a new range, dryer or generator?

Yes. We extend existing gas piping or run new lines for ranges, dryers, boilers, furnaces, standby generators and water heaters, and check that the line is big enough for everything connected to it.

Why do the basement floor drain and laundry sink back up together?

When the lowest drains in the house back up at the same time, the clog is usually in the main line rather than the branch drains. Older cast iron and clay pipe around New Britain also collects scale and roots that narrow the line over the years.

How is hydrojetting different from snaking a drain?

A snake cuts a path through a blockage. A hydrojetter sprays water at high pressure in every direction and washes grease, scale and root fibers off the full inside of the pipe, so the line returns closer to its original size.

What are the warning signs of a broken sewer line?

Sewage odors in the basement, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling when a toilet flushes and repeated backups after cleaning. A camera run through the line shows whether it has cracked, sagged, separated or filled with roots.

Is it time to replace the old pipes in my house?

Many New Britain homes were built in the early 1900s, and some may still have galvanized steel supply pipe or lead sections. Low pressure, discolored water and leaks at threaded joints are signs the supply plumbing is due for replacement.

How do I keep pipes from freezing in a New Britain winter?

Keep the heat on when you travel, open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls during cold snaps, shut off and drain outdoor faucets in the fall, and insulate pipes in unheated basements and crawlspaces. If a pipe does burst, shut the main valve and call us.

Do you work on multi-family homes and rental properties?

Yes. Two- and three-family houses are a big part of the housing in New Britain, and we handle plumbing for owners, landlords and tenants alike, along with commercial buildings.
