Our plumbing division operates with the same commitment to accessibility and convenience that defines our heating and cooling services. We maintain emergency response capabilities with no extra charges for nights and weekends, recognizing that plumbing emergencies don’t follow a convenient schedule. Water damage can escalate rapidly, potentially affecting your home’s structural integrity, electrical systems, and indoor air quality. By offering round-the-clock plumbing services alongside our furnace repair and heating service capabilities, we provide comprehensive home comfort solutions under one trusted roof.
Essential Plumbing Repair and Maintenance Services
Our plumbing repair services address everything from persistent drips to major pipe failures. We utilize advanced diagnostic equipment including video inspection cameras that allow us to examine the interior of pipes without destructive exploration. This technology proves particularly valuable when addressing recurring clogs or identifying the source of mysterious water damage. Our technicians carry specialized tools for repairing various pipe materials including copper, PVC, PEX, and galvanized steel, ensuring we can address issues in homes of any age throughout the West Virginia communities we serve.
Preventive maintenance forms the cornerstone of our plumbing service philosophy. Regular inspections can identify potential problems before they become emergencies, saving homeowners significant money and preventing property damage. We examine water pressure levels, test shut-off valves, inspect visible pipes for corrosion or wear, check water heater connections, and evaluate drainage speeds throughout your home. This proactive approach mirrors our heating service methodology, where regular furnace service prevents unexpected breakdowns during critical winter months. Our maintenance programs include annual inspections, priority scheduling for repairs, and detailed documentation of your plumbing system’s condition over time.
Water Heater Installation and Service Excellence
Water heaters represent a critical intersection between plumbing and HVAC systems, making Advanced HVAC & Plumbing uniquely qualified to handle these installations. We install and service traditional tank water heaters, high-efficiency tankless models, and hybrid heat pump water heaters. Each technology offers distinct advantages depending on your household’s hot water demands, available space, and energy efficiency goals. Tank water heaters typically range from 30 to 80 gallons, providing reliable hot water storage for families of various sizes. These units generally last 8 to 12 years with proper maintenance and offer lower upfront costs compared to other options.
Tankless water heaters deliver unlimited hot water on demand while occupying minimal space and potentially reducing energy costs by 24 to 34 percent for homes using 41 gallons or less of hot water daily. These units require specific venting configurations and gas line specifications that our technicians expertly handle. Heat pump water heaters leverage the same technology we install in heating systems, extracting heat from ambient air to warm water efficiently. These units can reduce water heating costs by up to 60 percent compared to standard electric water heaters, though they require adequate space and perform optimally in moderate climates.
Drain Cleaning and Sewer Line Services
Effective drainage keeps your plumbing system functioning smoothly and prevents costly backups. We employ multiple drain cleaning methods tailored to specific blockage types and pipe conditions. Mechanical snaking remains effective for simple clogs caused by hair, soap scum, or minor debris accumulation. For more stubborn blockages, we utilize hydro-jetting equipment that delivers high-pressure water streams up to 4,000 PSI, effectively scouring pipe walls clean without chemical damage. This method proves particularly effective against grease buildup, mineral deposits, and tree root intrusions.
Our sewer line services extend beyond simple cleaning to include comprehensive diagnostics and repairs. Video inspection technology allows us to identify breaks, bellies, offset joints, and root intrusions without excavation. When repairs become necessary, we offer both traditional replacement and trenchless repair options. Pipe lining creates a new pipe within the existing damaged line, eliminating joints where roots typically penetrate while extending service life by 50 years or more. Pipe bursting replaces severely damaged lines by pulling new pipe through while simultaneously fracturing the old pipe outward, minimizing landscape disruption.
Bathroom and Kitchen Plumbing Upgrades
Kitchen and bathroom renovations require precise plumbing modifications to accommodate new fixtures and optimize functionality. We handle complete rough-in plumbing for new construction and remodels, ensuring proper pipe sizing, appropriate slope for drainage lines, and code-compliant venting. Our installation services include:
- Faucets and fixtures: Installation of single-handle, double-handle, touchless, and specialty faucets with proper valve connections
- Toilets: Standard, comfort-height, dual-flush, and pressure-assisted models with wax ring or waxless seal options
- Garbage disposals: Proper sizing based on household needs with appropriate electrical connections and drain modifications
- Dishwashers: Supply line installation, drain connections, and air gap or high loop configurations for code compliance
- Water filtration systems: Whole-house, under-sink, and reverse osmosis systems with proper bypass valves and pressure regulation
Emergency Response and Water Damage Prevention
Plumbing emergencies demand immediate response to minimize property damage and restoration costs. Our emergency services address burst pipes, severe leaks, sewage backups, water heater failures, and frozen pipe situations. We maintain fully-stocked service vehicles enabling immediate repairs rather than temporary patches. Our technicians carry various pipe repair clamps, replacement valves, flexible supply lines, and materials for addressing common emergency scenarios. This preparation allows us to restore water service quickly while planning permanent repairs when necessary.
Water damage prevention extends beyond emergency response to include proactive measures protecting your property. We install water leak detection systems that alert homeowners to unusual moisture levels before significant damage occurs. Automatic shut-off valves provide additional protection by stopping water flow when leaks are detected. Proper insulation of pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls prevents freezing during cold snaps that regularly affect our service areas in West Virginia. We also install pressure-reducing valves when municipal water pressure exceeds recommended levels, preventing premature fixture failure and reducing pipe stress.
At Advanced HVAC & Plumbing, we recognize that comprehensive home comfort requires attention to all mechanical systems. Our plumbing services complement our established expertise in heater installation, furnace repair, and heating repair, providing single-source solutions for your home’s essential systems. By maintaining the same high standards across all service divisions, we ensure consistent quality whether addressing heating service needs or plumbing challenges throughout Morgantown, Kingwood, Fairmont, Cheat Lake, Westover, and Star City, WV.
