Yes — we handle burst pipes, sewage backups and major leaks across Roanoke and Roanoke County. Call and you get a callback. Burst pipes and backups cause expensive damage, so shut off the main water valve first. If water is actively flooding, shut off your home's main valve and then call (540) 302-5580. We'll talk you through what to do while we head your way.

First, cut the power (breaker for electric, gas dial to off for gas) and close the cold-water valve on top of the unit. A drip from a valve can sometimes be repaired, but water seeping from the base of the tank usually means it has corroded through and needs replacement. If the heater is more than eight years old, replacement is almost always the right call. See our water heater leaking from the bottom guide, or call and describe it.

The most common cause is a running toilet — a worn flapper can silently waste hundreds of gallons a day. Dripping faucets, outdoor spigots, and hidden supply-line leaks are next. Shut off all water and watch your meter; if it keeps moving, you have a leak. Our why is my water bill so high guide walks through the checks, and our leak detection service pinpoints hidden leaks without tearing up your home.

Most drain cleaning in Roanoke runs about $150 to $300, depending on which line is clogged and how severe the blockage is. A simple sink or tub clog is at the low end; a main sewer line that needs hydro-jetting or a camera inspection is higher. We clear the line completely rather than just poking a hole through the clog, and we quote the price before we start. Call (540) 302-5580 for drain cleaning.

Not always, but many older Roanoke Valley homes still run on galvanized-steel supply lines that corrode from the inside, causing low pressure, discolored water, and repeat leaks. If you're patching leaks in the same lines over and over, a repipe usually costs less over time and solves the root problem. We can inspect your pipes and tell you honestly whether targeted repairs or a full repipe makes more sense for your home.
