What you keep
The house card you keep
After every visit you get one card for your house. It is the part most plumbers keep in their heads.
- A number you can check. Water pressure in psi, read at the hose bib. Any plumber can read it again.
- The heater's real age. Read from the label on the tank, so a repair or a replacement is an honest choice.
- What we did not do. The things we turned down are on the card, at $0.00.

Tank or tankless, gas or electric. Replaced, repaired or left alone, and we say which.
See the page
Leaks and burst pipes
Shut it off, find where it starts, then fix that and nothing else.
See the page
Repipes
Old polybutylene, CPVC or galvanized pipe replaced, when the pipe really is the problem.
See the page
Drain clearing
One slow sink, tub or washer drain. Whole-house backups need a drain and sewer company.

Toilets, faucets and fixtures
Repair first, replace when the part is done. Your fixture or ours.

Water pressure and shut-off valves
Too high wears out pipes and heaters. A valve that will not turn is no help in a flood.

How a call goes
Shut it off
If water is running, we walk you to the shut-off first. A person on the phone beats a chat for this.
A quarter turn. Not a heroic one.
Find it
We look before we cut. Most leaks are one fitting, one washer or one supply line.
We look before we cut. Walls are shy.
Write it on the card

Your fridge door's new favorite magnet.
You decide
The price is told before work starts. Anything extra we find goes on the card at $0.00 until you say yes.
Yes, no, or let me ask my spouse.

Reviews
What neighbors wrote
What neighbors around Lakeland wrote after a visit.
The heater was leaking into the hall closet at night. They talked me through the shut-off and came the next morning. The card they left is on our fridge now.
Another company wanted to repipe the house. Standpipe found one bad fitting. That is what they fixed.
Quiet, clean, explained everything. Shoe covers on the whole time.
Our toilet ran for a year. Twenty minutes and a new fill valve. Wish we had called sooner.
They checked the water pressure and told us it was too high. Nobody had ever told us that.
Called on Saturday morning, a person called me back before lunch. Honest about what could wait.

Questions
Questions we get
Do you work on tankless water heaters?
Yes. We install and repair both tank and tankless, gas and electric. Older homes in Lakeland sometimes need a vent or a gas line looked at first, and we tell you before we start.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the main valve, then call. If you cannot find or turn it, call us and we will walk you through it. Keep clear of outlets if water is standing near them.
Why is my water pressure a number on your card?
Because too much pressure wears out heaters and fixtures, and too little makes a shower weak. A gauge on the hose bib takes a minute, and it is something you can check on anybody's work.
Do I need a repipe?
Often not. A repipe makes sense when the pipe itself keeps failing, as old polybutylene or worn galvanized can. One bad fitting is not a reason to replace a house of pipe.
Do you charge to come look?
There is a service charge for a visit, told on the phone before anyone comes. It covers finding the problem and writing the card, and you keep the card either way.
Can I send photos?
Yes. The chat takes photos of the leak or the heater label, and a person at the office reads them and writes back with a price and a day.
