We handle the full scope of residential and commercial plumbing work in the Kettering area. That means drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement for both tank and tankless units, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal repair and installation, water pressure and shutoff valve repair, slab leak detection, and whole-home repiping. We show up ready to work, with the job scoped on the call before anything starts, so the visit moves efficiently from diagnosis to repair. We're one phone call from getting your plumbing right.
Before a small leak turns into water damage, the right move is getting someone on the phone who can tell you what to do next. A plumbing emergency covers more than a burst pipe. It includes a broken pipe spraying water inside a wall, a major leak at a supply line, a complete loss of hot water, or a sewer backup pushing water back into the building. If any of those hit, the first step is finding the main shutoff valve and stopping the flow. That limits the damage while you wait.
We take emergency calls every day from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM. We can walk you through shutting off the water on the phone, scope the job, and confirm what happens next before anyone is dispatched.
Hire local and the work is done by someone who knows streets like yours.

Dealing with a slow drain or a sudden burst pipe? A slow kitchen drain, a backed-up bathroom sink, or a floor drain that won't clear are among the most common calls we get. Standard drain snaking works for most household clogs. For tougher buildup or recurring blockages, hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the inside of the pipe rather than just punch through the clog. The right approach depends on what the drain inspection shows. We're ready to get your drains running again.
Here's what most people get wrong about their plumbing: a leak does not have to be visible to cause damage. Hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, or along buried supply lines can run for weeks before they show up on a water bill or as a stain on a ceiling. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to find the source without opening up every wall. Slab leak detection follows the same process: locate the leak, confirm the line, then repair rather than guess. One call gets the leak looked at.
A water heater that runs out of hot water fast, leaks at the base, or stops producing hot water altogether needs a proper diagnosis before anything is replaced. We service both tank and tankless water heaters, and a visit covers checking the heating element or burner, the thermostat, the pressure relief valve, and the supply and drain connections. When replacement is the right call, we handle the swap and the connections. The plumbing done properly, start to finish. We're one phone call from getting your plumbing right.
A running toilet wastes more water than most people expect. A toilet that won't flush, rocks at the base, or constantly runs usually has a straightforward fix at the flapper, fill valve, or wax ring. Faucet repairs follow a similar pattern: a leaky kitchen faucet or a dripping bathroom fixture typically needs a cartridge or seat replacement rather than a full swap. When replacement makes more sense, we handle toilet installation, kitchen and bathroom faucet installation, sink installation, and garbage disposal repair and installation. Give us a call and we will take it from there.
A sewer backup is not just a drain problem. When the main line is blocked or damaged, every drain in the building is affected. We handle sewer line cleaning, sewer line repair, main line clog removal, and sewer line replacement when the pipe is past clearing. Trenchless sewer repair is an option for certain line conditions, and a camera inspection of the line tells us what we are actually dealing with before any work starts. We stay strictly on the line from the house to the connection point. We're ready to get your drains running again.
Low water pressure, discolored water, or a pattern of repeated leaks in the same area of the house often points to pipe condition rather than an isolated fitting failure. Older galvanized or corroded pipe eventually needs to be replaced rather than patched. Whole-home repiping in copper or PEX resolves the problem at the source. We also handle water pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve repair and replacement, and main water shutoff repair. When pressure is the symptom, we find what is causing it before recommending a fix.
Ohio's four-season climate, mature neighborhoods, and regional water chemistry create a specific set of plumbing demands. These are the jobs that come up most often in this area.
Kettering sits in a region where wet Ohio winters and spring thaw cycles put real pressure on basement drainage. A sump pump that fails during a heavy rain event can mean a flooded basement in a matter of hours. A service visit covers inspection of the existing pit, pump sizing for the space, and proper discharge line routing so water clears the foundation. For homes without an existing system, we handle the full installation.
Kettering's established neighborhoods have mature trees, and mature trees have deep root systems. Clay sewer lines, which are common in older sections of Montgomery County, are a frequent target for root intrusion. Roots follow moisture into small cracks and can grow to block the line entirely. We camera-inspect the line to locate the intrusion, cut the roots, and assess the pipe condition to determine whether the line can be cleared or needs repair. No septic work is involved. We address the line only.
Water hardness in the Montgomery County area is enough to cause real wear on water heaters, fixtures, and supply lines over time. Scale buildup shortens equipment life and reduces water heater efficiency. A water softener installation covers the supply line connection, the bypass valve, and the drain line for the regeneration cycle. We handle the plumbing connections. The scope is the supply and drain side of the system.
Plumbing costs depend on what the job actually involves, and that is not always clear until someone looks at the situation on-site. What we can tell you is how the process works. When you call, you get a rate on the phone. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you are told what it covers. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, which means the cause gets found before anything is replaced and the work is scoped honestly.
Simple scheduling. A price settled on the call. Water back fast.

We serve Kettering as our primary area and take calls from across the surrounding communities in Montgomery County. That includes Dayton, Oakwood, Centerville, Miamisburg, Moraine, and Huber Heights, along with nearby neighborhoods throughout the county. If you are in the area and need a plumber, give us a call and we will confirm we can get to you.
Call (937) 956-5923 and describe what you are seeing.
We go through the situation on the call, give you a rate that covers what the visit involves, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. There is no need to wait for an in-person estimate before you have a number to work with.
Yes. We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend calls follow the same process as weekday calls: describe the job, get a price on the call, and schedule when it works for you. That covers both routine repairs and short-notice work.
That depends on what the schedule allows when you call, and we will tell you on the call itself. Short-notice requests are welcome, and we confirm what can be arranged as soon as you call. For emergencies like a burst pipe or a major leak, call right away and we will confirm what is available.
Yes. A good portion of Kettering's housing stock is mid-century construction, and we work in those homes regularly. Older galvanized pipe, corroded supply lines, and outdated fixture connections are all familiar territory. If the pipe condition is a factor in the job, we will tell you what we find before recommending a repair or a replacement.
We handle both. Residential calls cover single-family homes, condos, and rental properties. Commercial work includes office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings. The process is the same on either side: scope the job on the call, confirm the price, and schedule when it works for the property.
It helps to know where the issue is showing up, how long it has been happening, and whether you have already shut off any water supply. If the problem involves a specific fixture, knowing the make or model is useful but not required. The more detail you can describe, the more accurately we can scope the job and give you a price on the call.
Not directly. Pricing is based on what the job actually involves: the type of repair or installation, the condition of the existing pipe or fixture, and what the visit covers. A single-fixture repair in a large home costs the same as the same repair in a small one. We confirm the price before we schedule, so you know what you are agreeing to.
Someone needs to be present to provide access and to go over the job before work starts. If you are a landlord or property manager, a tenant can be the point of contact on site as long as someone is there who can authorize the work. We confirm the details before the visit so there are no gaps in communication.
Clear access to the fixture, the water heater, or the area where the work is happening. That means moving items stored under sinks, in front of the water heater, or near the main shutoff valve. If there is a crawl space or utility room involved, make sure the path to it is clear. The more accessible the work area, the faster the visit goes.
Payment is typically collected at the time the work is completed. We confirm the price on the call before anything is scheduled, and if the scope changes once we are on site, we confirm the updated cost before continuing. You will not see a number you did not agree to before the work was done.
That depends on the job. A straightforward faucet repair or drain cleaning visit is usually a matter of an hour or two. A water heater replacement or a slab leak repair takes longer, depending on the access and the condition of the surrounding pipe. We can give you a rough sense of the time involved when you call and describe the situation.
Whether the job is a dripping faucet, a failed water heater, a sewer line backup, or a burst pipe that needs attention now, Kettering Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing work every day. We are available from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM, seven days a week, for repairs, installs, and emergency calls.
Drains that run clear. Faucets that don't drip. Pipes that hold.

| Plumbing Service | Scope of Work | Best For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Softener Installation |
| Homes in this part of Ohio dealing with hard water scale on fixtures and inside water heaters | Hard water minerals accumulate inside pipes and at the inlet of water heaters, shortening equipment life. A softener addresses the problem at the point of entry. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homeowners seeing unexplained water damage or a rising water bill | Finding the source before opening a wall saves significant time and cost. We locate first, then repair. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is running where it should not or the problem is getting worse while you wait | We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM for short-notice and urgent calls. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Households with a toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or will not flush properly | A toilet that runs continuously can waste a meaningful amount of water each day, which shows up on the bill. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Mid-century Kettering homes with recurring leaks or pressure loss throughout the house | Repiping resolves the underlying problem rather than continuing to patch a system that will keep failing at multiple points. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or dealing with persistent drips | Fixture installation scope depends on the existing supply connections. We confirm what is involved before scheduling. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with noticeably low pressure at multiple fixtures or a valve that has seized | In older homes with galvanized pipe, low pressure throughout the house often points to interior corrosion narrowing the line. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, or recurring backups | Multiple slow drains at once usually means the problem is in the main line, not a single fixture. |
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homeowners with unexplained wet floors, hot spots underfoot, or a water bill that has climbed without explanation | A slab leak caught early causes far less damage than one that has been running undetected for weeks. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| Any household with no hot water, slow recovery, or an aging unit | Sediment buildup inside a tank reduces heating efficiency over time. If recovery is slowing down, that is worth a call. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Any home or building with slow or clogged drain | Recurring clogs in the same drain often point to a buildup problem deeper in the line, not just at the trap. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a disposal that hums, jams, or leaks at the sink flange | Most disposal failures are either a jammed grinding plate or a worn seal. We confirm which before recommending replacement. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Kettering and Montgomery County homes with basements prone to groundwater intrusion during wet springs | Ohio's wet spring season puts real pressure on foundation drainage. A pump that runs constantly or fails to activate needs attention before the next heavy rain. |
