Your Local Plumber in Maumelle, AR

Maumelle's newer homes still have plumbing problems despite being relatively modern. Builder-grade fixtures fail early. Faucets start dripping after 5-7 years, garbage disposals jam constantly, and single-handle shower valves need cartridge replacements. These aren't major problems but they're annoying and constant. Upgrading to better quality fixtures during remodels saves money long-term.

Water heater sizing is often wrong in Maumelle homes. Builders install the minimum size required by code, which means a family of four runs out of hot water regularly. If the last person showering gets cold water, your tank is too small or your recovery rate is slow. Upgrading to a larger tank or switching to tankless solves this.

Garbage disposals jam constantly. People put things down them that shouldn't go in disposals, like potato peels, coffee grounds, grease, pasta. The disposal hums but doesn't spin, or it leaks from the bottom. Sometimes we can unjam them, other times the motor is burned out and needs replacing.

Outdoor faucets freeze in winter if they're not frost-free hose bibs. When they freeze and burst, water sprays inside your wall until you notice. We replace regular hose bibs with frost-free versions that prevent freezing damage.

Drainage service in Maumelle handles everything from clogged kitchen sinks to main line backups. The newer construction here means better pipes than older neighborhoods, but stuff still clogs. Grease, hair, and tree roots don't care how new your pipes are. We clean drains, repair damaged sections, and install proper venting when needed.

Main sewer line problems happen when tree roots find tiny cracks and grow inside. Even new subdivisions have this problem once the trees mature. We use camera inspections to see inside your pipes and find exactly where roots are intruding. Then we hydro jet to clear them out or replace the damaged section if it's too far gone.

Regular drain cleaning maintenance prevents backups before they happen. If you have a main line that backs up every year or two, schedule regular hydro jetting to keep it clear. It's cheaper than emergency calls and prevents sewage damage to your house.

Gas installation is popular in Maumelle for outdoor living spaces. The neighborhoods around Lake Willastein have tons of outdoor kitchens with gas grills, fire pits, and patio heaters. We run gas lines from your meter to wherever you need them. It takes planning and permits, but then you have permanent gas connections that increase your home value.

Indoor gas installations include ranges, water heaters, fireplaces, and dryers. Switching from electric to gas requires new lines run from your meter, sized correctly for each appliance. We handle the installation, pressure testing, leak testing, and city inspections. Never attempt DIY gas work. It's dangerous and voids your insurance if something goes wrong.

As a contractor and remodeler, we handle bathroom additions and kitchen upgrades in Maumelle homes. Adding a bathroom upstairs or in the basement means running new water lines and drains. The challenge is routing pipes through existing structure without compromising floor joists or wall studs. We engineer the routes carefully and use approved methods for passing through framing members.

Kitchen remodels need relocated plumbing for islands, new appliance connections, and sometimes gas lines. Islands are popular in Maumelle kitchens but the plumbing is tricky. Sinks in islands need proper venting or they gurgle and drain slow. We install either air admittance valves if code allows or run vent pipes to the main stack.

Outdoor kitchens are one of our biggest contractor projects in Maumelle. We build complete outdoor plumbing systems. Water supply for sinks, drain lines that properly slope back to your house sewer, and gas connections for grills and burners. The concrete guys need to know where our plumbing rough-in goes before they pour, so coordination is critical.

Bathroom remodels in Maumelle usually involve upgrading builder-grade fixtures to better quality stuff. We relocate plumbing for new layouts, install nicer faucets and showerheads, and add features like handheld shower wands or pot fillers. When we open walls, we often find installation mistakes from original construction that we correct during the remodel.

We act as general contractor for full projects, coordinating all the trades and keeping everything on schedule. The plumber needs to rough in before drywall, finish after tile, and coordinate with electricians, HVAC, and cabinet installers. One trade running late delays everyone, so we manage the schedule tightly and communicate constantly.
