Emergency Plumbing
Our licensed plumbers provide immediate response for urgent plumbing issues including burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures. We guarantee same-day service with no overtime charges for after-hours emergencies. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to quickly identify and resolve problems while minimizing property disruption.
Water Heaters
We offer comprehensive water heater solutions for gas, electric, and tankless systems including installation, repair, and maintenance. Our experts help select energy-efficient models that match household needs while providing same-day service for urgent replacement requirements. We also offer maintenance agreements to extend equipment lifespan.
Drain Cleaning
Using high-pressure hydro jetting technology, we remove stubborn clogs and buildup from residential and commercial drain systems. Our trenchless sewer repair options minimize landscaping damage while restoring proper drainage. We also provide preventive maintenance to avoid future blockages and pipe deterioration.
Water Treatment
Our certified technicians test and treat water for hardness, contaminants, and impurities through customized solutions including softeners, filtration systems, and reverse osmosis units. We offer free water analysis to identify specific issues affecting taste, odor, or appliance efficiency while improving overall water quality for residential and commercial properties.
Sewer Line Repairs
We specialize in traditional and trenchless sewer line repairs using pipe bursting and relining techniques that minimize excavation. Our video inspection technology accurately identifies pipe damage from root intrusion, corrosion, or shifting soil. We provide durable solutions that restore system functionality while protecting property landscaping.

Questions
How long does a water heater last?
Properly maintained water heaters typically last 8-12 years. Lifespan depends on unit quality, maintenance frequency, and environmental factors.
Can well pumps be repaired or need replacement?
Most well pumps aren't repairable, but minor electrical fixes may restore functionality. Professional inspection determines if repair or replacement is needed.
Is chemical drain cleaner safe to use?
Chemical drain cleaners are toxic and can damage pipes. Professional hydro jetting is safer and more effective for stubborn clogs.

Called for a second opinion after a competitor had informed me that it would be about $7,500 repair job with all kinds of issues. Paul was very kind and courteous and had no problems with explaining the details of what he would do, and then he did them and was done in less than an hour having resolved the problem. The competitor had said it would be several weeks for them to resolve the issue. I strongly recommend Elek Plumbing for excellent and honest work. Thank you!

Excellent and courteous service. Prompt and reliable. Derek answered the phone gave me accurate information, called back in minutes to arrange an emergency visit. Jody and Andrew arrived in an hour, made an assessment, and gave a straight forward price to replace the water heater. Kudos to this company for outstanding customer care and professional and personable employees.

From start to finish, this company was amazing. VERY friendly staff from Kelly, Brian, Jesse, Steve and the whole team that came out to replace my cast iron sewer line. Very knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of and came out immediately! Hands down they are THE best in the area! I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. I will certainly use them in the future. Cannot recommend them enough. Give them call, you won't regret it!

I'm not big posts but when someone stands out I feel they should be congratulated and encouraged to continue. Needing a plumber I contacted several companies one of which was Elek. Although in the end I wasn't able to utilize their services on this project I will save the contact with the belief I will at some point in the future. As a business they have good communication practices. The sales rep/installer/technician Jody arrived when agreed, was polite, professional, concise and informative. No pressure, just the facts, a pleasure. Thank you Elek, Jody for the time and consideration taken Jared & Heather

Carlos C. was terrific! We had a pipe attached to a hose bib that needed to be repaired. We also needed our sump pump pipe re-routed further away from the house. Carlos was on time, professional, and explained everything that he needed to do before doing the work. We will definitely be using Elek again in the future for any other issues that may pop up, and will be using them again in the spring for air duct cleaning. Thank you for all of your help!

This company and their employees are wonderful! Would give them 10 stars if I could. From the proposal all the way through to the completed job they were friendly, professional, and focused on detail. The installers, both male and female, are hard-working and committed to getting the job done right. And they are never too busy to answer any questions! So happy with our decision to use their services and we highly recommend!

Same day service for an emergency electric water heater replacement. Bert, Anthony and Brady showed up on time and got to the job quickly. Zip-Zip, Anthony and Brady had a new water heater installed in under two hours. The ProPress fittings look great. Fantastic job. Thanks guys. I'd highly recommend Elek Plumbing to anyone within their service area.
