Skip the Handyman — Hire a Real Plumber
Plumbing issues are a hassle that most homeowners do not have the skills to fix. A general contractor or self-described "handyman" can help, but they do not have the training, experience, or specific tools to make efficient repairs. Contacting an established plumbing service to assess the situation and administer repairs is the best way to resolve the problem without taking damaging shortcuts.

Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Diagnosing a Lack of Hot Water
Sediment, Heating Element, or End of LifeIf the household water supply doesn't seem to be getting as warm as it should be, it probably indicates an issue with the water heater. It could be that enough sediment has built up in the tank to cause problems or perhaps a tarnished heating element, but the possibility also exists that the unit has seen its day.
Regardless, it won't take long for an experienced plumber to determine the exact source of the problem and alert the homeowner to the best course of action.
Sediment Buildup
Minerals accumulate in the tank over time, reducing efficiency and heating capacity.
Tarnished Element
A worn heating element can't bring water to the correct temperature.
End of Life
The unit may simply be too old and need full replacement.
Quick Diagnosis
An experienced plumber can pinpoint the exact cause and recommend the best fix.
Hassle-Free Replacement
Tank Removal Included at No Extra ExpenseHomeowners always prefer water heater repair over replacement since the service only inconveniences them for a short period. Replacement of the unit is more challenging, but the team at LaVergne's will strive to install a unit that fits within the homeowner's budget as quickly as possible.
The old tank gets removed from the home at no extra expense as the plumbers thoroughly clean up any spilled water or sediment. Homeowners receive a unit designed to meet their household needs without concern over the disposal of the old tank or evidence that any hard labor took place.
💡 Tank Saver Mixing Valve
In some instances, a water heater is in perfect operating order but doesn't operate as efficiently as newer models. The LaVergne team offers the installation of a tank saver mixing valve that combines the hot and cold water to increase the overall water capacity. With this valve active, water is held at a higher temperature while emitting from faucets at a safe 120°F, increasing energy efficiency to help lower all costs associated with the water heater.
The Problem May Be in the Pipes
Aging Steel Pipes or Corroded FaucetsIf hot water isn't getting delivered to the faucet at an exceptional temperature, it may be a problem within the pipes. It won't take long for these plumbers to identify the source of the problem, especially if a home contains aging steel pipes or corroded faucets.
Regardless of the situation, the plumbers will advise the homeowner on the solutions and set up a way to get the correct replacement parts installed as quickly as possible.
Drain & Sewer Line Services
Prepared for All Sorts of Blockages
Household Pipes to Outdoor Sewer LinesClogged drain lines are a common occurrence at many homes and unless the problem is near the opening, most homeowners can do little to remedy the situation. LaVergne's team has experience working with drain and sewer lines, making issues like a hard clog within the household pipes or replacing the outdoor sewer line a routine day.
Utilizing various tools in these hard-to-reach pipes, the plumbers will find a way to remove the clog without causing damage to the line's structural stability.
Sewer Camera Technology
See the Problem Before You Fix ItTo ensure that a drain line is cleared correctly without causing any significant damage, the plumbers utilize a sewer camera. As the camera snakes through the pipe, it helps identify potential problems before locating and identifying the blockage.
This technology eliminates working blindly and helps the plumber determine which removal method to utilize.
Video Inspection
Camera snakes through the pipe to locate and identify the exact blockage.
Problem Identification
Spots potential issues before they become serious — not just the current clog.
Traditional Auger
Chops through debris for standard blockages in drain and sewer lines.
Hydro-Jetting
High-pressure water blasts blockages apart and washes everything down the line.
