Plumbing answers before you spend.
A master plumber on your side — not selling you the job. Pre-purchase inspections, feasibility, problem solving, and storm drain design by video, photos, or in person.
What I Consult On
01 — 06Home Buyer Inspections
Know exactly what the plumbing will cost you before you close. Supply, drainage, water heater, and fixture condition assessed plainly.
Home Plumbing Inspections
A full walkthrough of your existing system — pipe material, pressure, venting, and the repairs worth doing first.
Project Feasibility
Thinking about a bath addition, basement bathroom, or a kitchen move? Find out what's actually possible before you hire anyone.
Problem Solving
Recurring backups, mystery leaks, bad pressure, noisy pipes. I trace the cause instead of guessing at symptoms.
Practical Solutions
Straight answers on repair vs. replace, contractor bids, and what a fair scope of work should look like.
Storm Drain Design
Site drainage, downspout routing, French drains, and sump discharge laid out to keep water away from the foundation.
Three ways to work together
Every consultation is booked and paid in advance so the time is held for you. Most questions are settled inside the first half hour.
$90 / half hour
Prepaid by card. Additional time billed in half-hour blocks. On-site visits are quoted individually based on scope and travel.
Video Call
Walk me through the space live on your phone. Best for fast diagnostics and second opinions.
Photo & Plan Review
Send photos, videos, or drawings. You get a written assessment and recommendations back.
In Person
On-site inspection for pre-purchase reviews, drainage design, and anything that needs eyes and hands.
What the work looks like
Video & photo examplesA live video call looks like this: you pan across the basement or crawlspace on your phone while I call out pipe material, venting, and what needs attention first.
Inspections
Supply lines, drainage, venting, and water heater condition documented with photos you keep.
Project Feasibility
Marked-up plans showing where fixtures can realistically land — and what it takes to get there.
Problem Solving
Camera footage and pressure readings used to trace the actual cause, not the symptom.
Storm Drain Design
Trench routing, slope, and discharge points laid out to move water away from the foundation.

“Donald spent half an hour on video with us before we closed and found a failing cast iron stack the inspector missed. That call saved us $12,000.”
