Residential Leak Detection and Repair
Fast Response for Hidden Leaks
Undetected leaks can raise water bills and damage flooring, framing, and belongings. David Gray Plumbing uses acoustic listening devices and targeted camera inspection to locate hidden leaks quickly.
Once found, technicians isolate the affected line, make permanent repairs, and verify pressure to confirm no residual leakage. Property owners receive a brief report so insurance documentation is straightforward.
Drain and Sewer Line Services
Clearing Blockages with Minimal Disruption
Clogged drains, slow drains, and sewer backups are addressed using hydro jetting and mechanical snaking calibrated to your pipe material. Technicians assess line condition before recommending permanent solutions such as pipe relining where appropriate.
For properties with recurring clogs, diagnostic scoping can reveal root intrusion or pipe misalignment, guiding long term strategies that avoid future service interruptions.

Choosing the Right System for Your Home
David Gray Plumbing helps select between tank, tankless, and hybrid water heaters based on household demand, space constraints, and energy preferences. Proper sizing and gas or electrical safety compliance are verified before final installation.
Routine anode rod checks, flush services, and setting of factory parameters extend unit life and keep warranties valid. Post service testing includes temperature checks and leak monitoring at connection points.
Fixture and Appliance Installation
