Most Granite City homes were built around 1958, and 86% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Granite City is sewer laterals cracked by frost heave.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Granite City line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
