“Patriot Plumbing saved the day! Best service and price. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues big or small. Fast, polite and knowledgeable.”

"These guys are the real deal. We don't own the home, we rent. The crew worked with the landlords and you would have thought they were working for us. Big job! They had to tunnel under the house and then jack-hammer the foundation and floor to fix the problem of a collapsed pipe. These guys are not afraid of hard work and will just get it done. Mike communicated with me regularly making sure I knew exactly what to expect. I would also like to thank Patriot Plumming for staying true to their word. If they tell you when they will be there, when the job will be done, it happens! Thank you guys for all the hard work, great communication throughout the project and minimizing the impact on us. You guys are great! Hey! Seriously! Patriot is for real! I ran into Mike at random just a couple days after all was done. I am not paying the bill and he still knew who I was and actually thanked me for my review. For real folks, if you want to feel like your getting what you pay for, its Patriot Plumming or nothing. Feel like a person again and not just a pay check, call Patriot. Feel like a person again when you need their service. Thanks again Patriot, Mike and crew for just being people."

I’ve used them to make repairs, install/replace new water heaters, and run new water lines. They have done an exceptional job every time. Highly recommended.”

How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?If you notice slow draining sinks, frequent clogs, unpleasant odors, or gurgling sounds, it's time to call a professional. These are signs of buildup or a deeper blockage that DIY methods can’t fully resolve.

What’s the difference between a clogged drain and a sewer line blockage?A single clogged drain usually means a localized issue. If multiple fixtures are draining slowly or backing up, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, which requires specialized sewer line cleaning or inspection.

What methods do you use for drain cleaning?We use a variety of professional grade drain snakes and augers depending on the severity and location of the blockage. For deeper issues, we offer sewer camera inspections to identify the exact problem.
-
Is sewer camera inspection really necessary?Yes, sewer camera inspection is highly recommended, especially for recurring drain problems or suspected sewer damage. A camera inspection helps us locate cracks, tree roots, or collapsed pipes, allowing for precise and targeted repairs. This non-invasive method saves time and reduces the need for extensive digging.
