Justin and Victor were very polite, professional and efficient. They called before arriving as well, which is always helpful and appreciated. We hired Elsea Plumbing to repair two plumbing issues at our house and they did a fantastic job. They were thorough and ensured that everything was working well before leaving. I would recommend Elsea Plumbing. They are also affordable. 5 stars!

Expert Live Water Tapping in Prescott, AZ
Live water tapping lets Elsea Plumbing INC connect a new service line directly to a pressurized water main without cutting off your water supply. That matters in Prescott, where Arizona Water Company serves a mix of residential properties, commercial buildings, and active construction sites across rocky terrain. Shutting down a main line affects every property tied to it. A live tap keeps water flowing to your neighbors while we make your connection. Our crew excavates to the main, installs a tapping sleeve and isolation valve, pressure-tests the assembly, then cuts through the pipe wall with the system fully pressurized. The result is a clean, valve-controlled connection ready for your new service line. This work fits new home builds, ADU additions, irrigation system expansions, and commercial service upgrades throughout Prescott. If you need a new water connection without disrupting your property or the surrounding block, call Elsea Plumbing INC to schedule a site assessment.
