Plumbing Solutions for Older and Newer Decatur Homes

From cozy homes near Downtown Decatur to character-rich properties around Oakhurst and Winnona Park, our licensed residential plumbers have seen and fixed it all.

We tailor plumbing solutions for older properties in historic neighborhoods, providing PEX and copper upgrades for degraded and outdated galvanized steel, polybutylene, or other plumbing materials original to homes. Our local experience also qualifies us to handle aging clay sewer lines that are vulnerable to tree root intrusion and stress from shifting red clay soil.

In newer homes, we help to optimize efficiency, maintain code compliance, and protect your plumbing with preventative measures. That includes accurate water heater sizing, water softener and filtration systems, regular plumbing inspections, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle older plumbing systems common in historic Decatur homes?

Yes, we handle older plumbing systems common in historic Decatur homes, such as throughout the Oakhurst and Winona Park neighborhoods. These homes often have original older pipes and fixtures. Our team specializes in updating aging plumbing systems, repairing galvanized lines, and installing modern fixtures while preserving your home’s character.

Why does my Decatur home have low water pressure?

Your Decatur home may have low water pressure due to scale buildup in your pipes and faucets. Original plumbing materials in older homes may also leak and cause low water pressure.

When should I replace old plumbing pipes?

Replace old plumbing pipes, if they're beyond their expected lifespan or in poor condition. Galvanized steel pipes in older Decatur homes last up to 50 years, so most are overdue for replacement. New copper or PEX lines can last 40 to 80 years with proper care.
