A plumber working Ketchikan, Alaska needs to be comfortable with both. The same week can bring a polybutylene repipe on one street and a tankless descale on another, and you cannot do either well if you only know the trade from one era.
Why homeowners keep the number after the first job.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
Told you need a full repipe or a new sewer line? Get it looked at again. Sometimes it is a smaller fix, and sometimes we confirm the first plumber was right so you can spend with confidence.
You hear the number before a wrench moves. No hourly meter running while you stand there, and no discovering the real cost after the wall is open.
Softeners and filters get sized off a real water test, not a sales script. Hardness, iron and sulfur are three different problems and they need three different answers.
Every job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your town requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice, not buried on a webpage.
What you probably want to know before you book.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Ketchikan system gets sized off what is really in your water.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Ketchikan is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
A camera goes down the line first so you can see the break and how deep it is. Where the depth and the yard allow it, a Ketchikan sewer repair can be done trenchless and leave most of the lawn alone.
Yes. Every Ketchikan job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your municipality requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice and available before the truck rolls.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Ketchikan leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Almost always. A cable machine or hydro jet goes in through an existing cleanout and clears the line from there. In Ketchikan the camera goes down afterward so you can see whether it was grease, roots or a broken section.
The work speaks, but so do the people who paid for it.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
"Sump pump died the week before a big storm. New pump and a battery backup installed in one visit. Power went out during the storm and the basement stayed dry."
