Cloverdale is a town where most of the housing stock has been around long enough to have its original pipes, and those pipes have a story to tell by now. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work here, from a single dripping faucet to a whole-house repipe, every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. When you call, the job gets scoped on the phone. You know what the work involves and what it will cost before anyone is scheduled.
Property owners in Cloverdale call us for the kind of work that keeps a house running: drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and fixture work, sewer and main line service, and emergency calls when something goes wrong fast. Landlords with rental properties call when a tenant has no hot water or a drain has backed up. We handle both the quick fix and the larger job, and we are available for either one any day of the week.
A drain that is slow in one bathroom usually has a localized blockage. Soap, hair, and buildup accumulate over time in the trap or in the first few feet of drain line. A toilet that runs after flushing, or a faucet that keeps dripping after the cartridge has been replaced, points to a valve or seal issue at that fixture. These are contained problems, and the fix stays contained too.
When more than one drain backs up at the same time, or when a toilet gurgles while a sink drains, the problem is further down the line. That pattern points to the main sewer line rather than any individual fixture. A sewer line that is partially blocked, root-intruded, or damaged shows up across the whole house at once. The fix is different, the scope is different, and the conversation on the phone is how we figure out which situation you are dealing with before anyone comes out.
The price for any plumbing job is based on what the job actually involves. A drain cleaning call is priced differently from a sewer line repair, and a faucet replacement is a different scope from a full fixture installation. When you call and describe the situation, we scope the work on the phone and give you a price before anything is scheduled.
What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A toilet that runs may need a fill valve, a flapper, or a full replacement depending on the age and condition of the fixture. A water heater that produces no hot water may need a heating element or a full swap. We confirm the scope before a wrench comes out, so the price you hear on the phone reflects the work as we understand it.
If the situation turns out to be more involved once we are on site, we walk through it with you before proceeding. The job scoped and priced before a wrench comes out is how every call works.
Call (540) 619-5623 and describe what is happening.
A water stain on a ceiling or a wet patch on a floor is almost never sitting directly below the source. Water travels along framing, along pipe runs, and along any surface it can find before it shows up where you notice it. Chasing the visible damage without locating the actual source leads to tearing out material in the wrong place.
We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate a leak before any material comes out. Slab leaks, where the supply lines run under a concrete floor, are found the same way. The detection work tells us where the pipe has failed, so the repair is targeted rather than exploratory. Straight answers about your pipes and fixtures come first. We'll find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
A pipe that has frozen and not yet burst needs to be thawed carefully to avoid cracking it during the process. One that has already burst needs the damaged section replaced and the line restored before water can be turned back on. In either case, we assess the full run of pipe involved, because a freeze that affects one section often indicates the surrounding pipe is at risk too.
A new appliance installation is only as good as the supply and drain connections behind it. A washing machine with a loose supply connection or a dishwasher with a poorly fitted drain line creates a slow leak that can go unnoticed until the damage is significant. We handle the supply line, the shutoff valve, and the drain connection so the installation is done correctly from the start.
Shower and bath installation involves the supply lines, the drain, and the fixture itself. In older homes, the existing supply configuration may need to be adapted to fit a new fixture. We scope the installation on the call so you know what the work involves before we schedule.
Homes built on a concrete slab have supply lines running through or under the floor. When one of those lines develops a leak, the signs are easy to miss at first: a water bill that has gone up without explanation, a warm spot on the floor, or a sound of running water when nothing is turned on. Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way, and the repair method depends on the pipe material and the location of the failure. We locate the leak with detection equipment before opening anything up.
A backflow prevention device keeps contaminated water from reversing into the supply line. When a device fails or is due for inspection, the water supply at that connection is at risk. We service and replace backflow prevention devices and confirm the installation is functioning correctly before we leave.
No matter what's going wrong with your pipes, the process starts with a phone call. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and when you call we scope the job on the phone so the visit is set up correctly before anyone arrives. For planned work, that means choosing a time that fits your schedule. For a rental property, it means working around a tenant. For a business that has to stay open, it means understanding what access is available and what the work will affect.
When something cannot wait, we take short-notice calls and schedule urgent work as quickly as the schedule allows. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a water heater that has failed completely are not situations that keep until next week. Describe what is happening when you call and we will confirm what is available.
For planned work, calling ahead with a specific date in mind is the best way to get the time that works for you. Code-compliant plumbing on every job applies whether the call is urgent or scheduled well in advance.
We cover Cloverdale and the surrounding communities throughout Botetourt County. That includes Laymantown, Hollins, Daleville, Troutville, and Blue Ridge.

If you are not sure whether your address is in our coverage area, call and ask. We will tell you straight. Plenty of Cloverdale jobs start with a look at our residential and commercial plumbing page.
Homes in this part of Virginia tend to carry older pipe materials, including galvanized steel that corrodes from the inside and cast-iron drain lines that have been in the ground for decades. The most common calls involve recurring leaks in corroded supply lines, slow drains from buildup in aging cast-iron pipe, and water heaters that have reached the end of their service life. If you are seeing discolored water, dropping pressure, or leaks that keep appearing in different spots, call us so we can assess what the pipe system actually looks like.
Yes. We serve Cloverdale and the surrounding communities throughout Botetourt County, including Laymantown, Hollins, Daleville, Troutville, and Blue Ridge.
If you are unsure whether your address falls within our coverage area, call us at (540) 619-5623 and we will confirm it on the call.
Not always. Many repairs isolate only the fixture or the section of pipe being worked on, so the rest of the property keeps water. When the main supply does need to be shut off, we confirm how long it will be off before work starts so you can plan around it.
Yes. We work alongside other trades on renovation and construction jobs. The sequencing matters, particularly for rough-in work, and we confirm the timing on the call so the plumbing visit fits the broader schedule on site.
Yes. If you have purchased a faucet, toilet, or other fixture and want it installed, call us with the details and we will confirm whether the installation is straightforward or whether there are compatibility or connection considerations to work through first.
Call (540) 619-5623 and give us the clearest description you can: the nearest cross street, a landmark, a GPS coordinate if you have one.
We confirm the location before the visit is dispatched so there is no time lost searching.
Yes. After any repair or installation involving supply lines, we test the work before we leave to confirm there are no leaks at the connections and that pressure is holding correctly. We do not consider a job complete until the system has been checked.
The sooner you call, the sooner the water is back on, and for planned work, calling with a date in mind means you get the time that actually works for you rather than fitting around what is left.
