Laundry room plumbing problems can be a real hassle. There's more plumbing in a laundry room than just a sink and washing machine water lines. Our expert technicians can handle frozen pipes, washer and dryer installation, drain clearing, leaks, and sink repair and installation.

If you suspect a gas leak or have problems with your gas line, you need an expert in gas line repair and installation. Our highly trained plumbers will inspect your gas line to determine the best course of action.

If you smell that foul odor or hear hissing sounds near your gas appliances or gas line, do not use any electronic items in the house and leave the property immediately.

Capps Plumbing started as a dream. When we met over 30 years ago, we could have never have imagined where that dream would take us.
