Father and son. Front Royal, Virginia.
Plumbing done by the guys whose name is on the truck.
Water heaters, clogged drains, sewer line problems, full remodels. We pick up the phone, we show up, we tell you straight.
I ran the plumbing department at the country’s biggest plumbing company. Now I run my own shop.
Between the two of us, that’s 45 years combined turning wrenches in the Shenandoah Valley. Same hands on your job whether it is a leaky shutoff or a sewer line you cannot see.
Got tired of working for the man. Wanted to be the man worth working for. So we built Ajax around the stuff most outfits skip: an honest look at your options, a price before we start, and a callback when you have a question.

See remodelingHow a job with us actually goes.
Most people have been burned by a plumber before, so here is exactly what to expect. You call and a real person picks up, day or night. We give you a real arrival window, not a vague “sometime today.” When we get there we find the actual cause, not the easy guess, and we put a price on it before we touch anything.
You decide. Nothing happens until you say go. The work gets done to code, tested, and the space gets left the way we found it. If something we installed acts up, you call us and we come back. That is the whole reason we put our name on the truck. Want it in writing first? Send us the details and we will get back fast, or browse finished jobs in our gallery.

Straight answers.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing?
Yes. A burst line, no hot water, or sewage backing up does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Call 540-671-5417 any time, day or night, anywhere across Front Royal, Winchester, and the surrounding valley. A real person picks up.
What’s the difference between a tankless and a tank water heater?
A tankless heater makes hot water on demand and never runs out, and it saves the floor space a tank takes up. A traditional tank stores heated water but can run dry during heavy use. We install and service both, and we will tell you honestly which one fits your house and your budget.
How do I know if I need my drain cleared?
Slow drains, gurgling sounds, or clogs that keep coming back all point to a blockage. Snaking handles most of it. For the stubborn buildup we hydro jet the line, which clears it without tearing up your pipes. The longer a clog sits, the worse it gets, so it is cheaper to deal with early.
When should I get a sewer camera inspection?
Before you buy a house, after backups that keep returning, or every few years on older clay and cast iron pipe. The camera shows roots, cracks, and bellies on a screen so you are not paying to dig blind. You get a clear picture of what is actually down there.
Are quotes really free?
Yes. There is no charge to find out what is wrong, and we put a price on the work before we start it, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Through the cold months we also run 10 percent off frozen water line repairs.
Are you licensed, insured, and certified?
Yes. Ajax is licensed and insured, backflow certified, and approved to service most major water heater brands, which keeps your warranty intact. With 45 years of combined experience behind the truck, the code-sensitive work stays in house.
Pipe burst, water heater dead, or just need a straight answer?
Tell us what is going on and a real person calls you back, usually within the hour. The quote is always free.
