Drain Issues? We Can Help
Drain work isn’t just for emergencies. Many homeowners need new or upgraded drains as part of improvements, repairs, or aging system issues. Here are a few common situations:
- New Fixture Installation: Adding a sink, tub, shower, or toilet requires professional drain setup.
- Bathroom or Kitchen Remodels: Upgrading layouts often means rerouting or replacing existing drain lines.
- Aging or Corroded Pipes: Older cast iron, galvanized, or Orangeburg drains can deteriorate and need full replacement.
- Persistent Leaks or Odors: Chronic drain issues may call for new pipe runs rather than repeated patch jobs.
- Poor Slope or Drainage Design: Improperly installed drains can hold standing water or back up frequently.
- Tree Root Damage: Underground roots can crush or penetrate buried drain lines, requiring full replacement.
- Adding a Basement Bathroom: Below-grade drains need special installation with ejector pumps or lift stations.
- Floor Drain or Garage Drain Upgrades: New utility or safety drains improve flood prevention.
- Expanding Living Space: Home additions need drains that tie seamlessly into your main line.
A One Stop Shop for Drain Installation & Replacement
- New Drain Line Installation
Installing a new sink, tub, or washer? Every fixture needs a properly sloped and vented drain to keep wastewater moving efficiently—and safely.
We plan and install drains that tie into your existing system cleanly and up to code. Whether it’s in a slab, crawlspace, or upper floor, we make sure it drains the right way the first time.
- Drain Replacement
Old or failing drains can cause hidden leaks, water damage, and sewer smells.
We replace aging materials with modern, longer-lasting options like PVC or ABS. If your home still uses cast iron, galvanized steel, or clay, a replacement now can prevent major issues later.
You’ll get better flow, fewer clogs, and peace of mind.
- Basement and Utility Drains
Drains below ground level need special attention—especially in basements and laundry rooms where gravity isn’t always on your side.
Our services include:
• Floor drain installation with backflow protection
• Ejector pump systems for full bathrooms
• Utility sink hookups and washer drains
• Sump pump discharge connectionsWe make sure every drain is properly vented and protected from backups.
- Drain Venting Solutions
Vents are critical to healthy drain performance. Without them, you risk sewer gas entering your home and slow, noisy drainage.
We install traditional vent stacks as well as modern alternatives like AAVs (air admittance valves) when needed. Whether you’re working in a tight space or building out an island, we’ll make sure your drain breathes properly.
- Drain Slope Corrections
Water should never sit still in a drain line. Improper slope can lead to pooling, slow drainage, and recurring clogs.
We inspect the pitch of your existing drain runs and make targeted corrections by rerouting or regrading as needed. This helps prevent backups and restores smooth flow throughout your system.
