What we find here
Some homes from this era used poly-B supply piping, which we replace when owners or insurers want it gone. Copper lines from the 1970s may be due for attention at fittings. Plenty of basements were finished by later owners, sometimes with bathrooms added on top of drains that were never planned for them.
Typical jobs
We clear basement floor drains, replace aging sump pumps, swap out tired water heaters and help owners replace poly-B. Before a basement is finished, a camera look at the main drain is a smart step.

Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
Finished basements over old drains
A lot of Timberlea basements were finished by owners in the 1990s and 2000s, and the plumbing under them was not always revisited. We find laundry rooms framed in tight around floor drains, cleanouts buried behind drywall and bathroom fans vented into ceilings.
- When a drain backs up in a finished space like that, half the job is reaching the pipe.
- We cut a tidy access panel where needed and leave it hinged, so the next call is quicker.
Asked on the phone line
Does poly-B always fail?
Not always, but it has a poor reputation and some insurers ask about it.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
