Plumbing and Heating is a banner under which falls many, many things. Depending on experience, there are subtle differences between one contractor and the next, so here is A short list of some ways I could help you: Heating: Baseboard Heat: Fin tube (Petite 7, 9), panel type (Buderus, Myson), and wall/ceiling hung units (Rinnai, Modine). Heating units: Gas condensing, oil fired cast iron, wood burning. Radiant heat: In your concrete, under the floor, in the wall. Freeze resisting: Glycol and maybe a little heat tape, but plugging holes were the wind gets in is the most important. Heat lines: New copper or replace with plastic lines that can take some freeze expansion. Boiler cleaning: Yes! I will vacuum the soot out of your unit and replace oil filters and nozzle, while looking for any signs of trouble. Efficiency will be tested and adjusted, if needed. Plumbing: Water heaters: Electric, gas, indirect (from your oil or gas fired boiler). Water Distribution Systems: Copper and/or plastic (Watts Pex, Wirsbo Pex, etc.) Drainage Systems: Waste drains in PVC, abs, copper, no hub cast iron. Kitchen and Bath: fixtures Install or repair/replace toilets, faucets, tubs/showers, sinks. Filters: Whole house sediment filters, softeners, iron filters, etc. Witerize: Close your home for the winter to prevent burst pipes and busted fixtures. Washing machine: Install water supply/drain. An electrician may be needed for new electrical connections. Dishwasher: Usually tie in under the kitchen sink. Refrigerator: Water/ice maker line; a small hole in the floor behind the fridge, then find the nearest cold water line. Outside Faucet: Sillcock, hose bib, etc., whatever you call it, you just want an easier way to water or wash something outside. I want you to, too! Pumps: Grinder pumps, sump pumps, pump ups for additions below sewer lines. Repairs: On all the above fixtures. Minerals in your water and the 2nd law of thermodynamics are working against you. Things will stop working properly, eventually. Clogs/backups: A small kitchen clog or something stuck in your toilet, I can handle. For larger backups and clogs you will need to call a drain cleaning service. Freeze ups: Left the window open in January? Maybe the garage door open? Freeze ups happen. Toilets: Okay, my list might be getting redundant now, but know this: Your toilet will stop working right someday. The trick is knowing when it's a quick enough fix, or just better in the long run to replace it. And please, don't put that blue thing in the tank, you're just asking for trouble. "Google it" if you don't believe me. New construction: Plumbing/heating rough in and finish. Residential and light commercial. Remodel: I can gut it out for you, help you with planning new placement (if different), rough in the piping and return to finish the fixture installation. Don't take it for granted that you will be able to put everything where you want it; drainage must be pitched to work, water pipes should not be in outside walls, and we wouldn't want to do anything to floor joists or wall studs that would cause a carpenter to shake his head. Thanks for looking, I hope we are working together soon!
