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.
The questions homeowners ask us most.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Altavista system gets sized off what is really in your water.
Almost always. A cable machine or hydro jet goes in through an existing cleanout and clears the line from there. In Altavista the camera goes down afterward so you can see whether it was grease, roots or a broken section.
Yes — well pumps, pressure tanks and pressure switches are regular work. Short cycling, no pressure and a pump that will not shut off are the three most common calls we take from well owners near Altavista.
We do. If someone has told you the house needs a full repipe or a new sewer line, a Altavista second opinion either finds you a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can buy with confidence.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Altavista leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Yes. Every Altavista 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.
What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"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."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
"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."
