Our Plumbing Services in Durham

From 24/7 emergency response to complete repiping, we handle every plumbing need for homes and businesses in Durham, CT.

Slab Leak Repair

Slab leaks are hidden under your concrete foundation and can cause thousands in damage if left untreated. Our licensed plumbers locate and repair slab leaks quickly with minimal disruption to your home.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Trenchless sewer repair replaces damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. We use pipe lining and pipe bursting methods to save time, money, and the mess of conventional excavation.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line repair and replacement for cracked, collapsed, root-infiltrated, and offset pipes. We use camera inspection to diagnose the problem and recommend spot repairs, pipe lining, or full replacement.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Video sewer inspection reveals exactly what is happening inside your sewer line — no guesswork, no unnecessary excavation. Essential for pre-purchase inspections and diagnosing recurring sewer problems.

Backflow Testing

Backflow testing is required annually in many jurisdictions. We test your preventer, document the results, and submit paperwork to your local water authority — keeping you in compliance and your drinking water safe.

Drain Cleaning

Clogged drains slow your life down. Our licensed plumbers clear kitchen drains, bathroom drains, main sewer lines, and floor drains using professional hydro-jetting equipment that cleans the entire pipe interior.

"My hot water was not working so they replaced and adjusted the regulator valve, then repaired the shower diverter and replaced the hot and cold valves. Now I can easily have hot water and it feels like a new shower again. They even picked up the parts I had ordered in Hollywood at Ferguson Plumbing Supply."
