Plumbing in Maineville, Kings Mills, Mason and Loveland

Rusty hot water, rumbling or popping from the tank, running out of hot water sooner than you used to, or water pooling at the base are the usual signs. A leak from the tank itself generally means replacement, while a bad thermostat, element or burner can often be repaired. Age matters too. Many tank heaters start having problems after 8 to 12 years. We service older water heaters and install new AO Smith units, and we'll point you toward the more economical fix.

Shut off the main water valve first. In most homes it's where the water line comes in, often in the basement or crawl space near the meter. If water is near outlets or appliances, turn off power to that area, then open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain the lines. Call us at (513) 813-7526 and we'll find the leak and repair or replace the damaged section.

Kitchen drains usually clog from grease and food scraps, and bathroom drains from hair and soap buildup. If several drains back up at once, or the same one keeps coming back, the problem is often further down the line, such as tree roots or a broken or sagging pipe. We use cameras to look inside the line and find the cause, then clear the drain or rebuild the broken pipe.

Yes. We detect leaks in sewer lines, run a camera through the line to see what's causing a backup, and fix or replace the problem areas. Water coming up in a floor drain or a lower-level tub is a common sign of a main line issue. Call us at (513) 813-7526 if you're seeing that.

A pump that runs nonstop may have a stuck float switch or a failed check valve that lets water flow back into the pit. It may also be too small for the amount of water coming in after heavy rain. A pump that won't run at all often has a tripped breaker, a jammed float or a worn-out motor. We replace older sump pumps and upgrade them with new equipment.
