Plumber in Decatur, AL

Decatur homes and plumbing repairs

A damp spot under the floor or a drain backup can point to different problems. Decatur sits on the south bank of the Tennessee River, along Wheeler Lake. Decatur has older homes, newer construction and rentals, with crawl spaces or slabs across the city. In a crawl space, a leak under the floor stays hidden until insulation gets damp or a soft spot appears. On a slab, a backup points to a blockage farther down the drain. A slow kitchen sink leaves standing water and points to buildup close to the fixture.

Wet and dry seasons shift red clay around buried pipes in north Alabama. Tree roots enter joints in older sewer lines. Slow drains in several rooms or a toilet bubbling as a sink empties point to a main line clog. We clear household drain clogs and replace broken, sagging or root-filled sewer pipe between the house and the tap. See drain cleaning in Decatur and sewer line replacement in Decatur.

Water heaters in Decatur houses

A leaking tank, cold shower or water that changes temperature signals a water heater problem. A failed pilot, burner or valve stops a gas tank from heating. A failed element or thermostat leaves an electric tank cold. We repair those parts when the repair fits, or replace a worn tank with a gas or electric model. We also install tankless water heaters.

Water leaking from a failed tank stains floors and damages stored items. Replacement includes removing and hauling away the old unit. Read about water heater repair in Decatur. Before work begins, you hear the repair plan and its cost.
