About McRae in Knoxville, TN

Our thorough plumbing inspections are crucial for Knoxville homes. We proactively check for signs of pipe corrosion, slow leaks, and failing seals—common culprits behind sudden basement water issues. Catching a small leak in a supply line or a compromised toilet seal early can prevent the costly water damage and mold growth that often follow our area's heavy rains. It's a smart, preventative step to protect your home's foundation and interior.

Absolutely. A leaking toilet base is one of the most frequent calls we get, often due to a worn-out wax ring seal. Knoxville's temperature shifts and ground settling can break these seals over time. Our repair involves safely removing the toilet, thoroughly cleaning the area, and installing a new, high-grade wax or rubber seal to ensure a perfect, watertight fit. This stops the leak, prevents floor damage, and eliminates any musty odors.

While DIY might seem tempting, improper water heater installation in Knoxville can lead to serious issues like flooding, gas leaks (for gas models), or voided warranties. Our licensed technicians ensure your new unit is correctly sized for your home, installed to strict local codes, and equipped with necessary safety features like pressure relief valves and proper drainage pans. This professional installation maximizes efficiency, safety, and the lifespan of your investment, giving you peace of mind.
