Our comprehensive plumbing solutions address both routine maintenance and urgent repairs for residential and commercial properties. Services include pipe installation, fixture replacement, and system diagnostics using advanced equipment. With 24/7 availability, we resolve issues like leaks, clogs, and water pressure problems promptly while maintaining code compliance and long-term durability.
Water Heater Repair
We specialize in water heater maintenance, repair, and replacement for traditional tank and tankless systems. Our technicians diagnose temperature inconsistencies, sediment buildup, and gas leaks while offering annual flushing services to extend equipment lifespan. Emergency repairs restore hot water access within hours, with transparent pricing for replacement options when needed.
Leak Detection
Using specialized acoustic tools, we locate hidden leaks in walls, under slabs, or within irrigation systems. Our non-invasive methods identify slab leaks and underground pipe ruptures to prevent structural damage. We provide repair estimates before addressing issues, with 24/7 response for urgent situations causing water waste or property damage.
Commercial Plumbing
We maintain and repair plumbing systems for commercial properties including restaurants, offices, and retail spaces. Services cover grease trap maintenance, backflow prevention, and high-capacity water heater servicing. Our team works after hours to minimize business disruption while ensuring compliance with local plumbing codes and safety standards.
Bathroom Remodeling
We handle complete bathroom renovations including fixture replacement, pipe reconfiguration, and waterproofing. Our designers help select water-efficient toilets, modern showers, and ADA-compliant features while ensuring proper drainage. Projects include repiping for improved water flow and installing luxury elements like heated floors or rainfall showerheads.

Called Ira Hansen Plumbing and Thayne was sent out. Thayne arrived on time and did a great job. Had me fixed up in no time. He is also super nice and I would recommend him to anyone.

Just an update from my post a few days back! This group is the best. Thayne not only handled the initial assessment and installation timely but he was very quick to respond and return to make a couple of minor operation adjustments. Ira Hansen and Sons, including Thayne, are going on our short list of who to call for any plumbing concern!
