Plumber in Athens, AL
About 14 miles from our Decatur base
From historic homes near downtown to newer Limestone County houses, we repair the plumbing problems Athens homeowners face.
Plumbing in Athens homes
Athens has older houses near downtown and newer homes across Limestone County. A repair means a worn fixture in an established house or a drain under a newer slab. ABD Plumbing is owner-run since 2013 by Gerald Farrish Jr., an Alabama master plumber. We work in Athens homes, rentals, commercial buildings and government buildings.
Older Athens homes and plumbing repairs
A leak under the sink or a shower that won’t hold temperature points to a worn part. Historic homes and smaller mill houses have different layouts from newer construction. Some older Athens houses have crawl spaces and old pipe runs. A worn valve, faucet cartridge or loose connection causes these problems. We replace faulty parts and check nearby joints for moisture. Slow tub and kitchen drains signal buildup farther down the branch line, not only at the drain opening. Our drain cleaning clears kitchen, bathroom, laundry and main line clogs.
Sewer lines and newer Athens houses
A sewer clog that returns after clearing often starts at an aging pipe joint. Tree roots enter old joints and catch debris. Red clay soil shifts between wet and dry seasons, stressing buried lines. In a newer slab house, a damaged drain under concrete disrupts daily use. We reach and replace the faulty section. Our sewer line replacement handles broken, sagging and root-filled pipe between the house and the tap.
A gas tank stops heating when its pilot or burner fails. An electric unit loses hot water when its element or thermostat wears out. We repair and replace gas and electric tank water heaters, and install tankless models. You hear the fault, proposed fix and cost before work begins. For a new tank or worn unit, see water heater installation.
