Typical cost · $280 – $1,200Could be the pilot, the element, the thermostat, or it's reached end-of-life. We'll tell you which on the phone before quoting a replacement.
Typical cost · $185 – $2,800It's not the hair. It's a build-up further down the line. We snake it, then run a camera so we know if it'll come back in three months or three years.
Typical cost · $210 – $480Usually a dry trap, sometimes a vent issue, occasionally a real break in the line. The smoke test takes 20 minutes and tells us which.
Typical cost · $165 – $620Flapper or fill valve, 90% of the time. About fifteen minutes of work and a $20 part. Don't let a plumber sell you a new toilet for this.
Typical cost · $145 – $220A worn cartridge, usually. If the faucet's older than ten years and it's a no-name brand, we'll talk about replacing instead of patching.
Typical cost · $145 – $340Most plumbing problems aren't disasters. The disaster is the plumber who shows up and makes it one.

Every job is a little different, but here's what most things cost in our range. We diagnose on the phone first, so by the time the truck arrives the number isn't a surprise.
A real person answers, usually on the second ring. Mornings me, afternoons my wife. No call-center, no menu tree.
Five minutes of questions narrows it down. Half the time we can tell you the likely fix and a price range right then.
For most jobs, that's the day you call. Two-hour windows, not "between 9 and 5." We text when we're 20 minutes out.
You get a printed quote on the spot. No tool comes out till you sign it. No "while we're here" surprises.
Apprenticed at sixteen, journeyman at twenty-two, master licensed at twenty-eight. Started FlowFix the year I got the master because I'd watched too many companies sell repipes when a $40 cartridge would do.
RIDGID press tools, Milwaukee snakes, two service trucks, a crew of four — all employed, all background-checked, all licensed apprentices working under my number. We run on the simple rule: tell the customer what we'd do if it was our mom's house.
