Expert Plumbing Services in Exeter, New Hampshire

Exeter's brick downtown and its quiet river lanes put real stress on plumbing. Old pipe meets hard winter freezes, and river-town basements meet a high water table. Plumbing Pros has seen every one of these problems in this town, and we know how to fix them.

Plumbing in a River Town With Centuries of Pipe

Exeter has sat along the falls of the Squamscott River since the 1600s. It once served as New Hampshire's capital for fourteen years.

Walk downtown and the history is right there. The brick blocks of Water Street. The 18th and 19th century homes of the Front Street Historic District. Old mill buildings turned into condos, and the Phillips Exeter Academy campus on the west side.

That mix of eras is what makes plumbing here interesting. One day's route can run from a colonial home with pipes threaded through hand-hewn framing to a converted mill condo to a new build along Route 101. No single answer fits all of that.

The ground shapes the work as much as the buildings do. Exeter sits on the coastal plain, with sandy and gravelly soils over a water table that climbs high near the Squamscott and the haymarshes to the north.

Basements in low-lying neighborhoods work hard every spring. Riverfront properties deal with drainage that newer suburbs never see. Sump pumps here are not optional equipment; they are part of the house.

Exeter's water supply is its own topic around here. The town's water department treats the municipal supply and has had PFAS in the news. Homes on the outskirts toward Brentwood and Kensington often run on private wells with their own pumps and tanks.

Whatever comes out of the tap, we test it first and treat it properly. Filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, UV for wells, and full well pump service.

Then there is winter. Hard freezes from December into March punish every unprotected run in town. A fall visit to insulate, strap, and winterize costs far less than a February flood. It is one of the smartest appointments an Exeter homeowner can book.

That is where Plumbing Pros comes in: repairs and full repipes, drain cleaning and hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, water heaters, sump pumps, gas lines, fixtures, and filtration. We show up on time, track down what's actually wrong, and leave the place clean. Call (877) 401-2673 and talk to people who have seen it all in this town.

Our Plumbing team in Exeter, New Hampshire

The Crew That Knows Exeter's Houses From the Inside

Not a call center. A local team working these streets daily.

The Squamscott River has run past Exeter's foundations for centuries. It has never been kind to plumbing it can reach. That is where our work starts. This town's homes are old, its ground is wet, its winters are unforgiving, and its water needs a second look. Plumbing Pros is built for those conditions. We spend our days downtown, around Jady Hill, along Portsmouth Avenue, and out toward the well-served outskirts. So we walk into your house already knowing what the pipes behind the walls probably look like. We don't guess, and we don't upsell. We don't leave until the work is tested and the mess is gone. When we finish, you understand what was wrong, what we did, and what to watch for next.
  • •Evidence before wrenches. Cameras, gauges, and meters find the real cause before anyone starts cutting.
  • •Built for old houses. We open plaster walls and thread new pipe through tight chases without wrecking what makes the home worth keeping.
  • •Winter-ready work. Every repair on an exterior wall or in a crawl space gets insulated, strapped, and freeze-checked before we leave.
  • •Clean jobs, every time. Drop cloths, shoe covers, and a full wipe-down of the work area when the tools go back in the truck.
  • •Plain-language explanations. You see what we see, hear what it means in normal words, and approve the work before it starts.
  • •We stand behind the work. If something we installed fails, we come back and make it right. No runaround.

Bathtub Repair & Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Bathtub Repair & Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Replacing a bathtub has no undo button — once the tub is set and the surround closes, the drain, overflow, and leveling are buried for years. Plumbing Pros treats every tub install as a one-shot job: set dead level, connect the waste-and-overflow while everything is reachable, and test under a full load before the surround goes on. We also repair existing tubs — leaking overflow gaskets, stoppers that will not hold, slow drains, and failed caulk.

  • Dead-level setting on a mortar bed or ledger — no flex, rock, or creak.
  • Waste-and-overflow installed before the tub drops, with every joint reachable.
  • Full-tub water test under load before the surround closes.

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros protects the pipes you never see, sealing crawl spaces and attics so cold air cannot reach hidden supply lines. A licensed plumber closes foundation vents, repairs vapor barriers, seals every penetration, and insulates exposed runs, adding heat tape where the cold hits hardest. Floors feel warmer, joists stay dry, and your plumbing rides out cold snaps unnoticed.

  • Closable covers fitted on open foundation vents
  • Torn vapor barriers repaired or replaced to hold moisture back
  • Every penetration sealed with caulk or expanding foam
Dishwasher Installation & Hookup service — Plumbing Pros

Dishwasher Installation & Hookup Near Me

Dishwasher installation and hookup from Plumbing Pros treats the invisible work as the real work: fresh quarter-turn shutoffs, braided stainless supply lines, and drain protection through an air gap or high loop. We level and anchor the machine, then run a full test cycle while watching every connection for drips.

  • New quarter-turn shutoff valve on the hot supply line.
  • Braided stainless supply line checked for seepage under load.
  • Drain routed through an air gap or secured high loop per code.
Drain Cleaning service — Plumbing Pros

Drain Cleaning Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Slow sinks, gurgling tubs, and recurring clogs all trace back to buildup inside the line — grease, hair, soap scum, and lint that a bottle of chemicals only makes worse. Plumbing Pros clears kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and floor drains with pro cable machines matched to the pipe, flushing debris downstream and testing every fixture at full flow before leaving.

  • Cable machines sized to every pipe, from hand augers to full sectional cable.
  • Cutter heads matched to the clog — bulb for soft blockages, blade for roots.
  • Cleanouts used whenever they exist, keeping the mess out of living spaces.
Emergency Plumbing Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Emergency Plumbing Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

When water is actively escaping, waste is backing up, or the main line has failed, Plumbing Pros answers around the clock with a live dispatcher and a plumber on the way. The stocked truck handles burst supply lines, failed water heater connections, and backed-up drains in a single visit — containing the damage first, then repairing to code and testing before leaving.

  • Live dispatcher answers every call around the clock with clear shutoff instructions.
  • Trucks stocked with copper, PEX, and PVC fittings for same-visit repairs.
  • Containment comes first — stop the flow, protect floors, keep the family safe.
Faucet Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Faucet Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A new faucet should be the easiest upgrade in the house, yet most installation headaches come from compatibility — hole patterns, deck thickness, and valve families that do not all match. Plumbing Pros does the compatibility work first: a licensed plumber checks hole spacing, identifies the valve type waiting under the sink, and confirms the finish and spout reach suit your basin. Then we bed the base in silicone or putty, connect new braided supply lines, and test every handle position, so the faucet turns smoothly, shuts off completely, and stays dry underneath.

  • Measure hole spacing, deck thickness, and spout reach before you buy.
  • Valve family identified — compression, cartridge, ball, and ceramic-disc trim must match.
  • Base bedded in silicone or plumber's putty with a clean wiped edge.
Faucet Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Faucet Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Drip, drip, drip — that steady sound is water you pay for and never use, usually escaping past a worn washer, O-ring, or cartridge. Plumbing Pros finds the failed part instead of replacing the whole fixture, then rebuilds your faucet with exact-match components. The drip ends in a single visit.

  • Drip-source diagnosis: spout, base, or handle.
  • Cartridge replacement with proper pullers, never pliers.
  • Washer, seat, and O-ring rebuilds for compression faucets.
Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A faucet that gives a trickle or nothing on the coldest morning means a section of pipe has turned to ice. Plumbing Pros thaws frozen pipes with safe, controlled heat — never an open flame — working from the open faucet back so pressure can escape. We then inspect the full run for splits and repair any damage on the spot.

  • Safe thawing with controlled electric heat — never an open flame.
  • Frozen-section locating by touch and temperature readings.
  • Thawing from the open faucet back so meltwater and pressure escape.
Garbage Disposal Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Garbage Disposal Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros installs new garbage disposals and replaces worn units that jam, leak, or shake the cabinet, matching motor strength and grind stage to how your kitchen is actually used. Every job includes safe wiring on a switched circuit, fresh sealant at the flange and mounting ring, a proper dishwasher drain hookup, and a full leak test with water running. You also get straight guidance on what the unit handles well, so scraps and rinse water flow away without the clogs and odors that call for a plumber.

  • Unit sizing matched to household size and cooking habits
  • Safe electrical wiring on a switched circuit, done to code
  • Dishwasher drain hookup with knockout plug removed and sealed
Garbage Disposal Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Garbage Disposal Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Flip the switch on a troubled disposal and the sound tells the story: a hum with no grinding means a jammed flywheel, silence means a tripped reset or lost power, a rattle means something hard is inside. Plumbing Pros diagnoses disposals by sound, which is why most of our disposal calls end in repair rather than replacement. We also leave you with the habits that keep units alive — cold water during grinding and a clear list of what never belongs inside.

  • Sound-first diagnosis — hum, silence, and rattle each point to a different failure.
  • Flywheels released with the hex wrench from below — gently worked, never hammered.
  • Lodged objects removed with tongs and pliers; hands never go inside.
Gas Line Installation & Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Gas Line Installation & Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Every gas line joint must be sized, sealed, and tested to code — there is no room for guesswork. Our licensed plumbers install and repair residential gas lines in black iron, corrugated stainless tubing, or copper, pressure-testing every run with a manometer before activation. If you smell gas, leave the area and call for help from outside the home.

  • Electronic leak detection plus bubble solution at every joint.
  • Manometer pressure testing held to confirm a tight system.
  • Black iron pipe cut and threaded on-site for rigid runs.
Hydro Jetting service — Plumbing Pros

Hydro Jetting Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A cable punches a hole through a clog; hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe wall — grease, scale, soap, and root hairs flushed out of the system. Plumbing Pros scopes the line first to confirm it can take the pressure, then jets it clean and verifies the result on camera.

  • Backward-facing jets scour the full pipe circumference, stripping grease and scale.
  • Rearward thrust pulls the hose through the line, letting the operator dwell on buildup.
  • Root intrusions shredded to pulp and flushed out of the system.
Ice Maker Water Line Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Ice Maker Water Line Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Ice maker water line installation from Plumbing Pros replaces leak-prone saddle valves with a proper tee fitting and dedicated shutoff.

  • Dedicated refrigerator shutoff reachable without moving the fridge.
  • Clean routing away from sharp edges, heat sources, and foot traffic.
Kitchen Plumbing Remodel service — Plumbing Pros

Kitchen Plumbing Remodel Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A kitchen plumbing remodel from Plumbing Pros rebuilds supply, drain, vent, and gas piping around your new layout, with every rough-in measured to your cabinet drawings.

  • Sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator rough-ins moved to match new cabinet and appliance layouts.
  • Gas line extensions, relocations, and safe capping for range and cooktop moves, pressure-tested.
  • Pot filler stub-outs and ice maker connections placed to exact finished-design locations.
Laundry Room Plumbing service — Plumbing Pros

Laundry Room Plumbing Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros designs laundry plumbing around how washers actually behave: standpipes at the right height and diameter, drains sized for full pump-outs, and hammer arrestors that quiet valve shock. Hot and cold lines get reachable quarter-turn shutoffs, and every connection is tested under a full wash cycle before we leave.

  • Standpipes set to your washer's specified height and diameter, trapped and vented.
  • Drain piping sized for modern high-efficiency discharge rates.
  • Recessed washer boxes with built-in hammer arrestors.
Leak Detection service — Plumbing Pros

Leak Detection Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Water rarely surfaces where it escapes, which is why leak detection finds the source before anyone cuts drywall or breaks concrete. Our plumber narrows the search zone by zone, then uses acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging, and moisture meters to pinpoint the break behind walls, floors, or slabs. The leak gets marked and the findings written down, so the repair becomes one small, certain job.

  • Meter flow test with everything off confirms the leak and gauges its size.
  • Zone-by-zone isolation of irrigation, heater, and fixtures narrows the search first.
  • Acoustic listening gear hears pressurized leaks inside walls, floors, and slabs.
Main Water Line Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Main Water Line Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A climbing water bill or a meter that turns with every tap closed usually means a hidden leak on the main water line between the meter and the house. Main water line repair targets that single failed section: we confirm the leak, pinpoint the break with acoustic equipment, open one careful excavation, and splice in new pipe with proper couplings. The section is pressure-tested before backfill, proving the fix while the pipe is still visible.

  • Meter flow test with the house valve closed proves the leak is on your side.
  • Acoustic listening equipment and soil probing narrow the break to one small area.
  • One targeted excavation exposes only the failed section, leaving the rest undisturbed.
Main Water Line Replacement service — Plumbing Pros

Main Water Line Replacement Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

When every fixture runs weak, water carries a rust tint, or the service line has already been patched more than once, the pipe itself is finished. Main water line replacement renews the entire run from meter to house in a single project, with new copper or approved polyethylene pipe sized for the home and pressure-tested before service resumes. The old line is capped and abandoned, leaving steady pressure and clear water you never have to think about.

  • Pressure readings at meter and inside the house document what the old line loses.
  • Pipe material matched to local code and soil conditions, copper or approved polyethylene.
  • New line sized by fixture count and run length to hold pressure under full use.
Outdoor Faucet & Hose Bibb Services service — Plumbing Pros

Outdoor Faucet & Hose Bibb Services Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros repairs, replaces, and winterizes outdoor faucets and hose bibbs so they deliver strong flow in summer and survive the cold months. From worn washers to frost-proof sillcock installation and vacuum breaker protection, we handle every part of the fixture. A small valve deserves the same care as any plumbing inside your home.

  • Hose bibb leak repair: washers, seats, stems, and packing rebuilt.
  • Frost-proof sillcock installation with the valve seat inside the warm wall.
  • Vacuum breakers that keep hose water out of your drinking supply.
Pipe Insulation Services service — Plumbing Pros

Pipe Insulation Services Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros insulates exposed supply lines so pipes hold their warmth through winter and cold-water runs stay dry in summer. A licensed plumber sleeves straight runs in foam, wraps fittings in fiberglass with a vapor jacket, and adds thermostat-controlled heat tape where the cold bites hardest. The result is hot water that arrives sooner, a quieter system, and pipes far less likely to turn icy and split.

  • Foam sleeves sized to each pipe, sealed at the seams
  • Fiberglass wrap with vapor jacket for elbows, tees, and valves
  • Thermostat-controlled heat tape warms only when the air drops
Pipe Leak Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Pipe Leak Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Leaking supply lines soak drywall, warp cabinets, and feed mold long before you see the damage. Plumbing Pros cuts out the failed section and rebuilds it to match your system — soldered copper, press fittings, or PEX — then pressure-tests every joint. Call (877) 401-2673 and we will stop it at the source.

  • Clean, square cuts with professional pipe cutters
  • Soldered copper joints matching existing copper systems
  • Press fittings for tight spaces where torches are unsafe
Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems service — Plumbing Pros

Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Systems Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A reverse osmosis drinking water system is a compact, multi-stage unit beneath the kitchen sink built for one job: exceptional drinking and cooking water. Tap water passes sediment and carbon pre-filters, then a semipermeable membrane that rejects dissolved solids, with the improvement verified by a TDS meter reading before and after.

  • Four-stage treatment: sediment, carbon block, membrane, polishing filter.
  • TDS meter readings before and after installation prove the improvement.
  • Pressurized storage tank keeps purified water ready at its faucet.
Sewage Ejector Pump Services service — Plumbing Pros

Sewage Ejector Pump Services Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Any bathroom, laundry room, or wet bar below the main sewer line needs a lift — Plumbing Pros installs, replaces, and services sewage ejector pump systems that move wastewater up to the sewer lateral. The heart is a sealed basin with a gasketed lid, sized to your fixtures, with proper venting, a check valve, a shutoff valve, and a high-water alarm on a dedicated circuit.

  • Sealed basin with gasketed, bolted lid sized to your fixtures
  • Correct pump selection between effluent and grinder models
  • Proper venting tied into the home's vent system
Sewer Camera Inspection service — Plumbing Pros

Sewer Camera Inspection Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Digging up a yard on a hunch is expensive — a sewer camera inspection ends the guessing. Plumbing Pros feeds a self-leveling camera through a cleanout while you watch live, marking every root mass, belly, offset, or crack on the surface with a locator, and hands you the recording.

  • Self-leveling camera head keeps the picture upright for accurate readings.
  • Sonde transmitter locates every defect from above ground with depth marked.
  • Watch the inspection live and ask questions as the camera travels.
Sewer Line Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Sewer Line Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Clay joints shift, cast iron corrodes, and settled pipe creates bellies — every sewer line fails in slow motion until backups arrive faster each time. Plumbing Pros cameras the line first, then fixes only what is broken: spot repairs, trenchless pipe bursting, or cured-in-place lining, with the finished line verified on camera.

  • Camera inspection and surface locating before any quote, so the plan matches the defect.
  • Spot repairs replace only the failed section through a single excavation.
  • Pipe bursting pulls a new continuous line through the old pipe's path.
Sewer Line Replacement service — Plumbing Pros

Sewer Line Replacement Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

When a sewer line keeps backing up despite repeated cleanings, the pipe itself is usually the problem: sagging bellies, root-packed joints, or flattened sections that no snaking can fix. Sewer line replacement ends that cycle by removing the old line from the house to the city connection and installing new PVC or HDPE with correct slope, sealed joints, and fresh cleanouts. Most homes return to normal drainage within days, with a final camera video documenting the new line.

  • Camera inspection with locating sonde maps the failing line from house to street.
  • Written trench plan shows the dig path, depth, pipe material, and opening points.
  • Old clay, cast iron, or broken pipe is fully removed and replaced with new PVC.
Shower Repair & Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Shower Repair & Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

When the shower turns scalding with every flush, the culprit is usually a worn pressure-balancing spool or tired cartridge — not the showerhead. Plumbing Pros fixes shower trouble at the valve: we identify the valve by manufacturer pattern, replace the cartridge or diverter, and restore steady temperature and full flow. For remodels and new installs, we set the valve at the correct depth, pressure-test the rough-in, and flood-test the pan before walls close.

  • Cartridge diagnosis by symptom — we match drips, stiffness, and swings to the failed part.
  • Cartridges replaced with the correct puller and fresh lubricant, never forced.
  • Pressure-balancing and thermostatic upgrades that hold temperature under demand.
Sink Repair & Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Sink Repair & Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Sink trouble rarely announces itself at the basin — it shows up as a musty cabinet, a swollen floor, or a drip that only appears when the dishwasher drains. Plumbing Pros traces every sink problem to its source, whether that means reseating a strainer basket, rebuilding a drain assembly, or installing a new sink matched to your countertop. Every job ends with a full-basin release test, so the cabinet stays dry and the drain runs quiet.

  • Trace leaks to the source — strainer, trap, tailpiece, or supply lines — before quoting.
  • Strainer baskets reseated in fresh putty with the locknut torqued evenly.
  • P-traps replaced with correct alignment and slope, cleanout left accessible.
Slab Leak Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Slab Leak Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A slab leak is a pressurized water line leaking beneath your home's concrete foundation. Plumbing Pros pinpoints these hidden leaks with acoustic listening equipment and thermal cameras, then repairs them by overhead reroute or direct slab access. Call (877) 401-2673 if your floors feel warm or your water bill looks wrong.

  • Acoustic listening equipment that locates leaks under concrete
  • Thermal cameras that reveal hot-line leaks through the slab
  • Moisture meters mapping how far dampness has spread
Smart Water Leak Detectors service — Plumbing Pros

Smart Water Leak Detectors Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Smart leak detectors watch the spots where water damage begins — under sinks, behind the washer, and around the water heater — and alert your phone the moment water appears. Plumbing Pros installs wireless sensors plus an automatic main-line shutoff that stops the flow even when nobody is home. It turns a potential flood into a notification and a quick response.

  • Whole-home leak-risk survey to place sensors where leaks begin.
  • Wireless moisture sensors for sinks, toilets, laundry, and water heater.
  • Automatic main-line shutoff valve that closes when any sensor trips.
Sump Pump Discharge Freeze Protection service — Plumbing Pros

Sump Pump Discharge Freeze Protection Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros keeps your sump pump discharge line open through the cold, because a pipe that ices shut sends groundwater right back into the basement. A licensed plumber re-pitches the line to drain fully between cycles, insulates exposed sections, and sets the outlet well clear of the foundation with an overflow escape route. The pump, float, and battery backup are tested too, so the whole system stands ready for winter storms.

  • Pump, float switch, and check valve inspected and tested
  • Discharge line re-pitched to drain fully between pump cycles
  • Exposed pipe sections wrapped in foam insulation sleeves
Sump Pump Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Sump Pump Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

When heavy rain or a high water table pushes water toward your foundation, Plumbing Pros designs and installs complete sump pump systems — pit, basin, pump, check valve, and discharge line — for basements and crawlspaces. We dig the pit to the right depth and width for your soil, size the pump to real inflow so it cycles calmly instead of burning out, and route discharge well away from the house. Every system gets a dedicated electrical connection, an airtight basin lid, a full wet test, and battery backup options for storm-season peace of mind.

  • Pit excavation sized to your soil and water inflow
  • Pump capacity matched to real inflow, not a guess
  • Quality check valve on the discharge line stops backflow
Sump Pump Repair & Maintenance service — Plumbing Pros

Sump Pump Repair & Maintenance Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros repairs failing sump pumps and keeps healthy ones that way with thorough maintenance visits, working through the usual suspects — float switches, check valves, intake screens, impellers, and electrical issues — and testing the whole system under load. Each visit covers cleaning, float testing through full cycles, valve and discharge checks, and alarm testing, with plain notes on what we found. If your pump runs constantly, short-cycles, or makes grinding sounds, those early warnings are worth acting on before the next big rain.

  • Float switch diagnosis and replacement, tethered or vertical
  • Check valve testing and replacement when it sticks or leaks
  • Water alarm installation and testing for rising pit levels
Tank Water Heater Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Tank Water Heater Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A new tank water heater should match your household's demand, fuel supply, and venting — not just fit the space. Plumbing Pros installs gas and electric tanks to code, with proper venting, expansion control, and haul-away of the old unit. Call (877) 401-2673 to talk through sizing and options.

  • Sizing matched to your household's peak demand
  • Gas and electric options compared honestly
  • Code-compliant venting with proper draft and clearances
Tankless Water Heater Installation service — Plumbing Pros

Tankless Water Heater Installation Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

  • Load calculation matched to your household's simultaneous hot-water demand.
  • Gas line sizing and upsizing for the burner's higher fuel flow.
  • Sealed venting routed through wall or roof to code.
Toilet Installation & Replacement service — Plumbing Pros

Toilet Installation & Replacement Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

A cracked tank, a hopelessly rocking base, or a remodel can all call for a new toilet — and the difference between decades of solid service and a leak within a year comes down to the flange and the setting. Plumbing Pros measures your rough-in, repairs the flange, sets the new unit on a fresh seal, and tests every connection.

  • Rough-in measurement before you buy the new unit.
  • Selection guidance on bowl shape, height, and trapway design.
  • Closet flange inspection, repair rings, and height correction.
Toilet Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Toilet Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

The toilet that flushes itself at night has a leaking flapper; the one that runs forever may need a fill valve or a water-level adjustment. Plumbing Pros diagnoses the actual cause — running, rocking, weak flush, or clogs — and repairs it with quality parts, usually in a single visit.

  • Symptom-based diagnosis before any parts come off.
  • Fill valve replacement with correct water-level setting.
  • Flappers matched to your tank's flush volume.
Trenchless Sewer Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Trenchless Sewer Repair Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Trenchless sewer repair rebuilds a failing line from the inside through small access points, leaving driveways, patios, and landscaping untouched. A camera inspection first confirms the line qualifies, then we install either a cured-in-place resin liner or new HDPE pulled through by pipe bursting. The result is a smooth, jointless new pipe, and most households have full service back within a day or two.

  • Camera inspection with measured footage confirms the line qualifies for trenchless methods.
  • Cured-in-place liners form a seamless new pipe inside the old one.
  • Pipe bursting replaces lines too damaged for lining with new HDPE.
Water Heater Maintenance & Flushing service — Plumbing Pros

Water Heater Maintenance & Flushing Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

That popping and rumbling from the utility closet is sediment insulating your burner from the water. Plumbing Pros drains and flushes the tank, inspects the anode rod, and tests the relief valve and burner — scheduled care that keeps heaters quiet, efficient, and long-lived.

  • Full tank draining with sediment agitation and clean refill.
  • Anode rod inspection and replacement before the tank corrodes.
  • Temperature-and-pressure relief valve testing for reliable safety.
Water Heater Repair service — Plumbing Pros

Lukewarm showers, rumbling tanks, and pilots that will not stay lit are usually repairable. Plumbing Pros diagnoses the actual fault — elements, thermostats, gas valves, anode rods — and repairs what is worth saving. Call (877) 401-2673 when the hot water misbehaves.

  • Electrical testing of elements and thermostats
  • Gas valve, thermocouple, and pilot assembly inspection
  • Anode rod inspection gauging remaining tank life
Water Pressure Regulator Services service — Plumbing Pros

Water Pressure Regulator Services Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

High water pressure shows up as banging pipes, running toilets, and weeping relief valves — and a pressure regulator on the main line is the fix. We test your pressure with a gauge, then adjust or replace the valve so every fixture gets steady, fixture-friendly pressure.

  • Static and flowing pressure tests with calibrated gauges.
  • Regulator adjustment when the existing valve is still healthy.
  • Full PRV replacement with brass-body valves and strainer screens.
Water Softener Installation & Service service — Plumbing Pros

Water Softener Installation & Service Near Me

Starting at: Call for pricing

Plumbing Pros tests your water, sizes a softener to your actual hardness and household use, and installs the complete system — resin tank, brine tank, bypass valve, and a tidy drain for regeneration. We talk straight about salt-based softening versus no-salt conditioning, so you buy the system that fixes your complaint, not the pricier box.

The Plumbing Problems Exeter Sees Most

Sewer laterals tying into aging river-crossing mains

Town crews have been replacing sewers beneath the Squamscott that serve about a third of Exeter, including Jady Hill and the Exeter Mill area. The old pipes were found badly corroded after fifty-plus years underground. Your private lateral connects to that system. When it fails, you get repeat backups, gurgling drains, and sewage surfacing in the yard. We run a camera from your cleanout to the main and show you the footage. Then we lay out the real options, from spot repair to trenchless replacement.

Pipes icing over in hard freezes

Every January the same calls come in. Crawl-space supply lines frozen solid. Kitchen runs on old exterior walls split open. Sump discharge lines iced shut, pushing water back into the basement. We thaw frozen lines safely and repair the damage. Then we fix the cause: insulation, rerouting, and proper discharge pitch. A burst pipe should not become a winter tradition.

Galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains wearing out

Many older Exeter homes still carry galvanized steel supply pipe corroding shut from the inside. The signs are unmistakable: weak pressure at one fixture, rusty water when a line is disturbed, pinhole leaks appearing in new places. Cast-iron drain stacks from the same era scale up and crack at the joints. That means slow drains and sewer smells no drain cleaner fixes. We test pressure and flow, camera the drains, and give an honest read: more repairs, or a full repipe?

Sump pumps failing near the river and marshes

Homes near the Squamscott and the northern haymarshes sit where the water table runs high, especially during spring melt and heavy rain. A sump pump that was fine for years can quietly lose capacity. We install correctly sized pumps with check valves and route discharge lines so they drain fully and can't freeze. Battery or water-powered backups keep you protected when a storm knocks out power. A pump that runs constantly deserves attention before the next big rain.

Questions about what's in the tap water

Exeter homeowners ask about water quality more than they used to. Federal testing flagged PFOA above the EPA's enforceable limit in the municipal supply. Private wells around town bring their own chemistry: iron, manganese, bacteria. Treatment has to match the test results. Reverse osmosis for drinking water. Whole-house filtration or softening where it makes sense. UV for well disinfection. Treatment gets sized to the test results, not to a sales target.

Well pump and pressure-tank trouble on the outskirts

Out toward Brentwood, Kensington, and East Kingston, plenty of homes run on private wells. The pump and pressure tank are the heart of that system. When a tank loses its air charge or a pump short-cycles, pressure surges and drops until the pump burns out early. We diagnose well systems on the spot, replace failed pumps and waterlogged tanks, and set the switch and charge correctly. If your shower pressure breathes in and out, your well equipment is telling you something.

How an Exeter Service Call Works

1

Say it in your own words

Call (877) 401-2673 and describe what's happening however it makes sense: the gurgling, the smell, the spot on the ceiling. You don't need the right terminology. We ask a few focused questions and give an honest read on whether it's urgent. Then we set a time that fits your day.

2

We look with instruments, not guesses

On site we go straight to diagnosis: cameras in the drains, gauges on the supply, meters where leaks hide. You see what we see, on the screen or at the gauge. Finding the physical cause first keeps the repair targeted and the bill fair.

3

You approve a written plan

Before major work starts, you get findings and options in writing, in plain language. What each option involves, and what it doesn't. No pressure and no surprises later. You pick the path that fits your home and your budget. We don't start until you say so.

4

The repair itself, done to code

Then we do the work. Clean cuts, proper fittings, correct slope and support, materials suited to the house and the water it carries. Historic homes get techniques that protect plaster and timber. Everything goes in to current plumbing code and gets tested under real conditions.

5

Tested, walked through, cleaned up

We run every fixture and check for leaks. We walk you through what was done and what to watch for. The work area gets cleaned up and the tools go back in the truck. If a question comes up later, you call the same number and talk to people who know the job.

Client Experience

What to Expect Working With Us

"Our kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Two other outfits just snaked it and left. This crew ran a camera, showed me the bellied pipe under the driveway, and gave me two written options. The repair took a day, the yard looks untouched, and the drain finally runs right."

- Local homeowner

"A pipe burst in our crawl space on the coldest night of winter. They arrived fast, stopped the water, and fixed the split. Then they insulated and rerouted the run so it won't freeze again. That extra step is why I keep calling them."

- Longtime customer

"Our water heater quit on a Friday and I expected to wait until Monday. They installed a new one the same day and hauled the old unit away. Calm and straightforward from start to finish."

Frequently Asked Questions

A few real factors decide it: how hard the problem is to reach, what the pipes are made of, and whether walls or concrete need opening. The materials and fixtures chosen matter too, along with any permits and inspections. An accessible repair in an unfinished basement is a different job than chasing a leak inside a plaster wall in a Front Street historic home. Emergency calls add complexity too. You approve the scope before we start, so there are no surprises. For an exact number on your job, call (877) 401-2673 and we'll take a look.
Yes, especially if it has been a while. The municipal supply has had PFAS in the news, and well water varies from house to house. Testing tells you exactly what you're dealing with: metals, minerals, bacteria, or PFAS compounds. Then treatment matches the results, from reverse osmosis for drinking water to filtration, softening, or UV disinfection for wells. Bring us existing test results, or we will help you get the water tested properly.
Cold snaps here find every unprotected run: crawl-space lines, pipes on exterior walls, unheated basements and garages. Insulate exposed pipe. Seal the air leaks that let cold air hit it. Make sure sump discharge lines pitch to drain so they can't freeze shut. During a deep freeze, opening cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls lets warm air reach the pipes. For homes with a history of freezing, a fall winterization visit is the cheapest insurance there is.
It comes down to the pattern. One isolated leak in otherwise healthy pipe is a repair. But when galvanized lines keep springing pinhole leaks in new spots, pressure keeps dropping, or water runs discolored after work on the lines, the system is done. Cast-iron drains with scaling, cracks, or repeat blockages tell the same story. We test flow and pressure, camera the drains, and give you a straight read. A full repipe is disruptive for a week, then you stop thinking about plumbing for decades.
The town has been replacing sewers beneath the Squamscott that serve about a third of Exeter. The old pipes were found badly corroded after decades underground. If your home connects to that system and you've had repeat backups or gurgling drains, the trouble may be in your private lateral, not just the town main. A camera inspection from your cleanout to the main shows exactly what's going on. From there we talk about spot repair versus trenchless replacement.
Yes. Plenty of homes on the outskirts of Exeter run on private wells. We service the whole system: well pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches, and the treatment equipment that keeps well water clean and safe. Short-cycling pumps, surging shower pressure, and water cutting out are classic signs of a waterlogged tank or a failing pump. We also handle filtration, softening, and UV disinfection matched to your well's test results.
Near the Squamscott and the northern marshes, the water table runs high. Spring melt and heavy rain can overwhelm an undersized or tired sump system. Start with the basics: the right pump size, a working check valve, and a discharge line that drains completely between cycles. Add a battery or water-powered backup, because storms here love to knock out power. Grade soil away from the foundation and keep gutters clear. If the basement has flooded before, get the whole setup checked before the next big rain.
Shut off the water at the main valve right away. Then kill power to anything the water is reaching, especially in a basement or near an electrical panel. Open the lowest faucet to drain pressure. Move what you can out of the water's path. Don't touch standing water near outlets. Then call (877) 401-2673. We treat burst pipes as emergencies: stop the leak, assess the damage, repair the line, and fix the freeze protection so it doesn't happen again.
