Clayton’s charm comes with real infrastructure age. Many homes near the Clayton Historic District were built in the 1960s and 70s with galvanized steel supply lines. Those pipes are now rusted shut on the inside — you get brown water, low pressure, and eventually pinhole leaks inside walls. A whole-home repipe to PEX or copper is the only permanent solution.
In the hills above Pine Hollow, we deal with ground movement. Seasonal rain swells the soil, then summer drought shrinks it, exerting force on sewer laterals. We’ve replaced dozens of cracked clay and ABS sewer lines using trenchless pipe lining — no need to tear up your driveway or hillside garden.
Homes with private well systems (especially on the east side of Clayton) need annual pressure tank checks, sediment filter changes, and UV bulb replacements for bacteria control. We’re certified well system technicians.

We don’t charge more because you’re in the hills. Same flat-rate pricing as the flats. And we bring everything we need — no “I have to go back to the shop” delays.
We test pressure tank, pump cycling, water quality, and UV system — complete report with repair recommendations.
No digging — we insert an epoxy-saturated liner into your old sewer pipe, inflated and cured in place. New pipe inside old pipe.
We use a combustible gas sniffer to locate natural gas leaks with 99% accuracy, even behind walls or under slabs.
Clayton residents 65+ get 15% off all scheduled repairs and maintenance.

They did everything they said they would do, plumbing work looked great. Passed inspection and even the inspector said how well the plumbing looked.
Metallic taste often means iron or manganese, which is not an acute health risk but stains laundry and fixtures. However, it can also mask bacteria. We recommend a lab test ($45) to be safe.
Every 10-15 years for the resin tank. But the control valve can fail earlier. If your softener uses more salt without softening, or you see scale on faucets, call us for a free efficiency check.
If your bathroom or laundry is below the main sewer line (common in Clayton hillside homes with lower levels), gravity won’t work. An ejector pump grinds and pumps waste up to the main line. We install and repair them.
