Water Where It Shouldn't Be? Call Now.
-
Burst Pipe or Active Leak
Shut the main valve first, then call. Every minute of running water is more to dry out. -
Sewer Backup
Wastewater coming back up a drain or toilet means a main-line clog. Stop running water in the house, then call. -
No Hot Water
Check the breaker or the pilot light first. If neither is the answer, call with the heater's age and type.

Get QuoteKnow Your Shutoffs
Don't know where your water shutoff is?
When a pipe bursts, the first minute matters. Here are the three shutoffs every homeowner should be able to find in the dark.
-
Main Water Shutoff
Usually at the meter near the street, or where the main line enters the home. One quarter-turn stops all water. -
Water Heater Shutoff
A cold-water valve on top of the tank (or a flexible line into the tankless unit). Closes off heater supply without killing the rest of the home. -
Sink and Fixture Stops
Small angle valves under each sink, behind each toilet, and behind the washer. Lets you isolate one fixture without losing whole-home water.
Septic Or Sewer?
We Work On Both.
We handle the line from your house to wherever it ends, whether your waste runs to a municipal main or a backyard tank.
Sewer Line to the Main
- Camera inspection of main line
- Hydro-jet root and grease clearing
- Trenchless repair and pipe bursting
- Cleanout install for future access
Tank, Drain Field, and Lines
- Septic line snaking and jetting
- Riser and lid replacement
- Drain-field flooding diagnosis
- Pump-out coordination and access

What Homeowners Say
Recent reviews from the older Cincinnati neighborhoods.
★ 5.0 198 Google Reviews
"1912 home with original cast-iron stack and a leak that two other shops told me required a full demo of the wall. Copper opened a single panel, repaired the spot, and the wall is back together in two days. Saved thousands and the period plaster."
P., Hyde Park
"Whole-home repipe in a 1923 four-square. Done in phases over three weeks so we never lost the kitchen for more than a day. Plumbing inspector said it was the cleanest re-pipe he had seen all year. Worth every dollar."
S., Clifton
"Restored the original 1908 clawfoot tub. They re-glazed the porcelain, replaced the internals, fixed the cold-side valve, and the tub looks museum-grade. Better than what a new one would have given us."
M., Mount Adams
"Burst pipe on a Sunday night in a 1925 home. Copper had a technician here in 80 minutes who actually knew how to fix the old system. Billed at the regular rate. No after-hours surcharge. Reliable, respectful, professional."
K., Mariemont
