Water heaters, in four pages

Four pages cover hot water. Repair is for a unit that still holds water. Installation covers a tank swap. Tankless covers a change of type. Softeners cover the scale that shortens a heater's life.

A tank that leaks from its body is finished. A unit that makes no hot water, or too little, often needs a smaller fix, and the repair page explains how to tell.

Drains and sewers, in five pages

Drain cleaning handles a clog in a fixture or a main line. Hydro jetting is a stronger clearing method. Sewer line repair covers a camera inspection and the repair choices. Trenchless repair covers lining. Slab leak repair covers leaks under a concrete floor.

Start with a camera if a drain keeps coming back. A recording shows whether the problem is a blockage or a defect, and that decides which page to read.

Service area, local permit rules and confirming your ZIP

The service pages apply across the area listed on the nearby towns and neighborhoods page. Local rules, such as who issues a permit, differ by town, and each town page explains them.

Call with your ZIP code and street address and the person who answers will confirm that the visit is possible.
