What you actually get when you call us.
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.
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.
Sewer and drain problems get a camera down the line first, and you see the screen. Nobody trenches a yard on a guess when a fifteen minute look will show the break.
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.
Burst pipes and sewage backups do not wait for business hours. The phone is answered at night and on weekends, and the first thing you get is help finding your shutoff.
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 Petrolia system gets sized off what is really in your water.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Petrolia leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
For a true emergency in Petrolia the target is same-day, and most of the time inside a few hours. Scheduled work like a water heater swap or a fixture set is usually booked within two or three business days.
We do. If someone has told you the house needs a full repipe or a new sewer line, a Petrolia second opinion either finds you a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can buy with confidence.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Petrolia is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
Yes. Every Petrolia 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.
The work speaks, but so do the people who paid for it.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Whole house was on galvanized from the fifties. They repiped in PEX one bathroom at a time so we were never without water overnight. Drywall patches were cut clean and easy to fix."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
