Atlanta Drain Repair
Atlanta drain cleaning and drain repair serices are our specialty. Over the last centruy, drainage systems in Atlanta houses have not changed much in design. Other than updates and changes to the plumbing code, requiring improvements and slight tweaks on existing drains, drain repair, and new construction, the drainage section of a plumbing system must function a certain way. Air is required to assist drainage, so the system must include vents. In order to prevent sewer gases from entering the home, p-traps are installed at each fixture. These traps contain water, and form an air seal against odors. These characteristics have been in place for decades. The materials used to construct the drainage system, however, have changed drastically. There is good reason for this.
Long ago, interior drainage systems were composed mostly of a combination of cast iron, lead, and copper. Then, after many years, this setup was found to clog very easily due to the nature of the materials. Cast iron has rough interior walls, and lead isn’t much better. Food, waste, and lint from your washing machine all cause frequent clogs, wreaking havoc on older lines. Rotting food also has corrosive properties, and will speed up rust formation inside the drains. This combination leads to deteriorating drains, rust holes, and constant leaks. This is where we come in.
Regardless of any type of Atlanta drain problem you may have, we are the solution. Usually, just a small section of the drain piping needs repaired or replaced. Otherwise, entire homes must be re-piped with new drains in order to properly repair all defects. We make our repairs in high-grade PVC piping to ensure quality and proper drainage for decades to come. Whether your home is built on a basement with visible drainage, on a slab with buried piping, or on a crawlspace with difficult-to-access locations, we've seen it all. During any repair, we take the time to ensure a clean, smooth finished product with proper slope and ease of use. Don’t' let clogged or leaking drains worry you. Give us a call today!
