How we work

What happens from your call to the fix

What a visit involves, how a hidden fault gets found, and what changes if the job turns out bigger than it looked.

What actually happens

  1. You call or send the form

    The more you can describe, the better. What you are seeing, when it started, whether it is getting worse, and how old the house or the equipment is.

  2. We call back with a time

    If it is urgent, say so on the phone and we will tell you the soonest a plumber can get there rather than guessing to make you feel better.

  3. A licensed plumber looks at the actual problem

    Not a guess from the doorway. Where the fault is buried or hidden, that means testing or camera work first.

  4. You agree the work before it starts

    What it needs and what the alternatives are, before any work starts. You only pay for work you agreed to.

  5. The job gets done and cleaned up

    Where a permit or a pre-backfill inspection applies, it gets handled. Where something was opened up, you get told plainly what putting it back involves.

Why buried work gets looked at first

On anything nobody can see, a confident answer over the phone is worth very little, because the real condition only shows once the work starts. Sewer lines are the clearest example. Replacing eight feet of pipe near the foundation and sixty feet out under the sidewalk are very different jobs, and nobody can tell them apart from a description of a backup in the basement.

So on buried work the camera goes in first and the decision comes second. On hidden leaks it is isolate and locate first, then open up one place rather than three.

What we will tell you that you do not need

There is no version of this that works by talking someone into a bigger job than they need.

So we will say when a drain does not need jetting, when a repair beats a replacement, when a disposal just needs its reset button pressed, and when the problem is your water utility's side of the line rather than yours.

Permits and inspections

Some work needs a municipal permit, most commonly sewer lateral and water service line replacement, and some needs an inspection before a trench is backfilled. Where that applies it is handled as part of the job. Excavation also requires a call to Pennsylvania 811 so buried utilities get marked, which is a legal requirement rather than an optional extra.

Public water and private wells

The county splits between houses on a public system and houses on their own well, and they are genuinely different work. On a well, the pump, the pressure tank and the water chemistry are all yours and there is nobody to call when the pressure drops. Say which you are on when you call, because it changes what the plumber brings.

Where we work

Across Lebanon County: the city, the boroughs and the townships. We are a mobile business with no walk-in location, so everything happens at your property. If you are outside the area we will tell you rather than take the booking and let you down.

Questions about working with us

What to expect from the first call to the finished job, and what happens if the job turns out to be different from what you described.

What should I tell you when I call?
Where the property is, what you are seeing, when it started and whether it is getting worse. The age of the house or the equipment helps too. Say whether you are on public water or a private well, because that changes what the plumber brings.
Do I need to be home?
Usually yes, at least to let the plumber in, point out the problem and agree the work. If the job runs on and you need to leave, we will sort that out with you at the time rather than assume.
What if something else turns up once work starts?
The work stops and you get told before anything is done about it. Opening up a wall or a trench sometimes reveals a second problem, and on older Lebanon County housing that is not rare. You decide whether it gets dealt with now or later, and nothing extra starts until you have agreed to it.
Who pulls the permit?
Where the work needs one, sewer laterals and water service lines in particular, the permit is pulled as part of the job, and we will tell you when a municipal inspection is required before a trench gets closed. An unresolved permit on buried work causes problems when you come to sell, so it is never skipped.
What if something is not right afterwards?
Tell us, and tell us early. Call (717) 473-8422 or send the contact form rather than leaving it. Most problems on a plumbing job are far easier to put right in the first week than six months later.
