Gene Wagner started this company in 1998 with one truck and a licence, and the first customers were neighbors. That is still the shape of the work in a city like Chatham — you show up, you do it right, and the next call comes from the person next door.
Homes around Chatham, Virginia tend to be older and further apart, which changes the job. Longer water service runs, more private wells, more frozen pipe calls in January. A plumber who only works new construction is out of his depth here.
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.
Drop cloths go down, cuts get made clean so the patch is easy, and the old tank or fixture leaves with the truck. The room should look better than we found it.
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.
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.
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.
Straight answers to the things people call and ask first.
Yes. Burst pipes, sewage backups and no-water calls in Chatham are answered around the clock. The first thing on the phone is getting your main shutoff closed so the house stops taking damage while a truck is on the way.
Almost always. A cable machine or hydro jet goes in through an existing cleanout and clears the line from there. In Chatham the camera goes down afterward so you can see whether it was grease, roots or a broken section.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Chatham leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
For a true emergency in Chatham 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.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Chatham is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
We do. If someone has told you the house needs a full repipe or a new sewer line, a Chatham second opinion either finds you a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can buy with confidence.
Real feedback from real plumbing calls.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Hard water was eating our fixtures. Softener sized off the test, installed neat with unions so it can be serviced, and they showed me how to set the salt."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
