“When I called him out and he immediately came my house within 2 hours and did a really quick and great job for my bathroom.”
“Dan was quick to respond and explained what needed to be done. The price was fair and we will call him if we have other plumbing needs.”
“Dan is consistent. Professional, on time, only does what is needed, experienced, easy to work with, clean, and smart.”
Why it happens
What Westlake Island is plumbed with
The island was built out in the seventies on slab, with copper in the concrete. Many have since been rebuilt or gutted, so one lot has fifty-year-old pipe under the floor and the next has new PEX and two tankless heaters. A remodel is often only partly new, so first we find out which lines you've got.
Lakefront lots add long runs to a dock or patio kitchen. Bigger rebuilds have recirculation loops, and an unbalanced loop leaves the far bathroom cold. We clear the gate beforehand so the truck isn't stuck at the guardhouse.
Around here: the island, the lakefront streets on the mainland side, Southshore.
Most weeks
What people in Westlake Island call about
Cold water at the far end of a big house
Recirculation →We balance the loop and set the pump so the far bathroom heats up without it running all night.
A remodel that needs a plumbing bid
Written bids →An itemized scope from your drawings, rough-in to fixtures, for your contractor and HOA.
It's two of us at most, so there's no crew tramping through the house.

“They explain what needs to be done to fix the problem, are willing to do the work asap and take care in keeping the work area clean and unmarred.”

“My 12 year old water heater started leaking yesterday so I texted him, and he called me right away to help me turn off the water and gas. And he was here next day with a new water heater installed.”
Common questions
Things people in Westlake Island ask
Do you get through the gate?
Yes. We call ahead with the truck and name.
My house was rebuilt. Is the plumbing new?
Often only partly. Lines under a slab that stayed put are still original, and one visit tells you which is which.
How does pricing work?
You get the price before we start. Repairs are our time plus parts. Bigger jobs get a written bid. Nobody here works on commission.
