Expert Solutions for Plumbing and HVAC Issues

We deliver rapid leak detection utilizing thermal imaging, pressure testing, and acoustic tracing to isolate faults without harming finishes. For heating, we maintain boilers and furnaces to factory standards - including combustion analysis, venting verification, gas-pressure calibration, and control diagnostics - making sure systems function within code tolerances. We disable dangerous equipment, correct issues, and restore service with verified test results.

Rapid Leak Identification

The quickest approach to secure your property and ensure code compliance is through rapid leak detection using calibrated instruments and tested methods. We initiate by shutting isolation valves, monitoring meter movement, and checking pressures. We then use acoustic detection to locate pressurized line leaks in slabs, walls, or buried runs, filtering ambient noise to isolate small flow signatures. Heat mapping shows temperature anomalies that indicate concealed water paths, separating supply leaks from moisture buildup or infiltration. We confirm findings through tracer gas or dye testing when specifications require. We provide a detailed report, photos, and coordinates for precise repairs, limiting demolition, mitigating mold risk, and ensuring full code compliance.

Heating System Repair Services

With leaks located and logged, we immediately proceed with restoring safe heating operations by inspecting HVAC equipment to code. Our process starts with thorough diagnostics: confirming gas pressure, manifold configurations, exhaust flow, air intake, and safety mechanisms. We assess safety switches, flame detection units, ignition systems, circulation pumps, and zone valves, then inspect heat exchangers for cracks and flue pathways for blockages. For hydronic systems, we purge air, set expansion tank pressure, and optimize circulation. For furnaces, we adjust blower speeds and verify sealed ductwork.

We clear clogs, descale heat-transfer surfaces, and replace failed gaskets and valves using certified replacement components. We tune combustion for proper CO/CO2 and O2, maintaining effective chimney flow and neutralized condensate. Lastly, we record all code compliance measures, target energy optimization, and verify steady-state efficiency and safe shutdown.

Safety-Priority Repairs and Preventive Maintenance

Taking a proactive approach to each repair with safety at the forefront maintains the compliance and reliability of your plumbing and heating systems. You get work executed to code, with verifiable documentation and test results.
