Certifications

Our plumbers hold EPA Section 608, Lead-Safe Renovation, and ASME A112.18.2 certifications essential for safe, code-compliant work in older homes.

EPA Section 608 certification ensures our technicians handle refrigerants in modern fixtures correctly and responsibly—critical for high-end units with integrated cooling or humidity control systems. This standard covers recovery, recycling, and proper disposal practices, minimizing environmental impact without compromising performance or precision in complex installations.

Lead-Safe Renovation certification means our team follows EPA-approved protocols for containment, cleanup, and verification when working in pre-1978 homes. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums, plastic sheeting barriers, and wet-scraping techniques to prevent harmful dust spread during pipe replacement or fixture upgrades in historic interiors.

ASME A112.18.2 compliance guarantees that fixtures like basin taps, shower valves, and kitchen faucets meet strict federal standards for backflow prevention, material safety, and structural integrity. This is especially vital for properties where original fixtures are restored rather than replaced, ensuring continued safety and legal conformity.
