Follow the water

In at the pressure tank, filtered, heated, and out to the sewer.

Most of a house's plumbing lives in one basement corner and one line out to the street. DB Plumbing works on every stage of it, so this is the order the work comes in.

In · the pressure tank

Where the house's water comes in.

One of DB Plumbing's own installs: a new pressure tank on its base, a whole-house filter on a copper header and a water softener beside it, in an unfinished basement. The faucet mark on the tech's hoodie is theirs. This corner is where most of a home's plumbing starts, and where a lot of problems do too.

Filtered · the whole-house filter

Cleaned before it reaches a single tap.

A filter housing on the incoming line catches sediment before it reaches fixtures and appliances. DB Plumbing installs water filtration systems, and will tell you where one belongs on your line and what the cartridge changes look like afterwards.

Heated · tank or tankless

Hot water that keeps up with the household.

Tanked or tankless, installed, repaired and maintained. Tankless gives on-demand hot water, a space-efficient design and energy savings; a tank is the familiar choice and is simpler to service. DB Plumbing gives a personal recommendation before anything is ordered.

Out · drains and sewer

And away, without backing up.

Everything that comes in has to leave. Clogged drains get cleared, slow lines get regular maintenance, and when there is a sewer smell nobody can place, a smoke test finds the crack, break or bad connection without digging up the yard.

Named jobs

Customers name the people: Don on the phone, Corbin at the tank.

“DB Plumbing did a great job with my water heater replacement. My initial conversation was with the owner Don, who is extremely friendly and knowledgable. I was able to set up an appointment for the very next morning and our technician Corbin showed up right on time. Corbin was super friendly and kept us updated on his progress as he was working. When he was done he walked me through everything he had worked on, as well as showed me how the new tank worked. I would highly recommend.”

  1. A kitchen job another plumber walked away from

    “Within an hour Don had dispatched his guy, who upon getting to my home diagnosed the problems. Two hours later, the job was completed and the price reasonable.”

    Charles Izuakor

  2. A Sunday afternoon emergency, then three more visits

    “They responded immediately when I had an emergency on a Sunday afternoon.”

    L. Kaiser

  3. Fixing work left by a previous plumber

    “DB plumbing was able to quickly come out, identify the issues and fix them immediately.”

Smoke is pushed into the sewer line and shows where it escapes, which finds cracks, breaks, hidden openings and improper drain, vent or storm connections without invasive digging. It is the way to track down sewer odours or mystery drain problems.
