Plumber near Cammack Village in Little Rock, AR

Cammack Village has old houses, and we tend to replace a lot of old plumbing in this area. When homeowners open up walls for a remodel, they find dusty, broken drain lines that have been failing for decades. We have pulled out galvanized supply lines corroded almost shut and cast iron waste pipes rusted paper-thin on the inside. In one home, we upgraded all the under-home drains and water lines before the finish work started. Many of these homes have been expanded from their original 870-square-foot layout, and each addition may have a different generation of pipe. We sort all of that out during a remodel so you are not chasing leaks for the next ten years.

The sewer lines in Cammack Village are a mix of everything old. We have found concrete pipe, clay pipe, bituminous fiber pipe known as Orangeburg, and rotted-out cast iron, sometimes more than one material in the same yard. Concrete can crack over time. Clay tends to shift at the joints. Orangeburg collapses under soil pressure. Cast iron rusts from the inside out. We have done sewer repairs and full replacements in this area specifically because of failed concrete pipe. A camera inspection shows which material you have and how far the damage goes. We give you options, whether that is a spot repair or a full replacement. Cammack Village's sewer connects to Little Rock's system, so main-line issues may need coordination with the city. We handle that part too.

We have replaced both tank and tankless water heaters in Cammack Village homes. In a house this old, a water heater swap is rarely just a swap. The room around it usually needs updates too. In one job here, the mechanical room did not have enough air for combustion, so we installed fresh air pipes. We added an expansion tank so thermal expansion has somewhere to go instead of stressing the unit. The emergency shut-off valve was tucked behind the heating unit where it could not be reached quickly. Code requires the shut-off to be accessible, so we relocated it. The original builders never planned for modern equipment or current code. We make sure everything is right when we leave.

The north end of Cammack Village, Palisades Estates and Pinnacle Point, sits on a bluff overlooking the Arkansas River. The extra wind exposure means pipes in crawl spaces and attics are more vulnerable to winter freezes. Insulate exposed pipes before the first hard freeze, especially in homes expanded from their original military-era layout. Additions sometimes route pipes through spaces never intended for plumbing. Central Arkansas clay soil expands and contracts year-round, putting constant pressure on underground sewer lines.

Cammack Village sits just north of Midtown, about six miles from downtown Little Rock.
