“We see it as an investment in your home,” Choka said about plumbing upgrades.  Owned by Scott and his wife, Leisha, for more than a decade, Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air installs and repairs all types of plumbing for residential commercial establishments.  A state-certified master plumber, Scott Choka offers a general checklist to homeowners for springtime maintenance. “Spring is here and it’s the perfect time to do an inspection of your basic plumbing system,” he said. “Those should include draining and flushing your water heater, as well as visually inspecting the connections and checking for corrosion.”

Other areas of the home to inspect, he said, include washing machine hoses (for wear and possible replacement); and areas underneath cabinets (to look for minor leaks and major ones). “And, it’s also a good idea to check water pressure and proper drainage throughout the home,” he said.  The top reasons people call a plumber include needing toilet repair or replacement, water heater repair or replacement, faucet replacement, hose bib (outdoor faucet) repair and frozen pipe repair.

“We are family owned and operated and have ’Brighton’s friendliest master plumber,” said Leisha Choka, co-owner and office manager.  “We offer residential and commercial repair, replacement, and remodel plumbing work,” Leisha said. The business specializes in sewer repair and replacement.  “Our local clients, anyone within seven miles of Brighton, get a free visit,” she said. “We provide as many options as possible to meet their plumbing needs. And, we make sure the client is happy and satisfied with our products, workmanship, and customer-service skills by making follow-up calls.”

Scott has nearly 20 years of experience as a plumber.  “I love the art of plumbing. Every situation is unique and requires my ability to assess the problem and provide the solution,” he said. “To have a customer who has had a problem (in a home) for months or sometimes even years, and be able to solve that issue for them is a good feeling.” A common service call involves a toilet filling unexpectedly with water.  Choka said it’s caused by worn out flush or fill valves. “Sometimes we are able to rebuild the toilet to correct this issue. However, we will recommend, if the toilet is outdated, upgrading to a high-performance, comfort-height, water-saving toilet,” he said.  “Modern toilets are designed better and operate more efficiently.”

Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air has 24-hour emergency availability. “We operate on a win-win philosophy, which is offering quality work at reasonable prices,” Leisha said. “We offer loyal customers specials and discounts throughout the year.”  Royal Plumbing offers service to Brighton and surrounding communities within an approximate 25-mile radius.  For more information, call 720-341-8781.
