What we DON’T do (we’ll refer you)

🚱Main line / sewer work

Anything past the home shut-off valve, or main sewer line work, needs a licensed master plumber.

🛁Water heater install

New water heater installs need a licensed plumber (and often a permit). We’ll refer you to a trusted partner.

🏚️Mid-wall pipe work / repipes

If we have to open a wall to repipe, that’s a licensed plumber job. We handle visible plumbing under sinks, behind toilets, and on appliances.

🪜Crawlspace / attic plumbing

For crew safety, no tight-crawl or attic-level plumbing work.

Need any of these? We’ll connect you with a trusted specialist partner.

FAQ

Common questions

Are you licensed plumbers?

No — we’re handymen who do basic plumbing fixes that don’t require a license: faucet swaps, toilet swaps, disposal installs, leak repairs, fixture replacements. Anything past the home shut-off, main line, or water-heater install needs a licensed master plumber and we’ll refer you to a trusted local partner.

Do I need to provide the faucet or toilet?

You can — or we can pick one up for you (cost + 20%). If you want a specific brand/model, easiest to buy it yourself and have it on-site when we arrive.

My toilet keeps running — is that fixable?

Almost always yes. The fix is usually a $15 flapper or fill valve swap. Takes about an hour including the parts run if needed.

Can you fix a leak in the wall?

If the leak is at a visible joint (under sink, behind toilet, supply line) — yes. If we have to open a wall to find or fix the leak, that’s a plumber’s job and we’ll refer you to a trusted partner.

Do you do emergency plumbing calls?

For burst pipes or active flooding, call a 24/7 plumber first. Once the immediate emergency is handled, we can come back for the repair, cleanup, and any drywall/paint touch-ups needed afterward.
