Your Local Plumber in Sherwood, AR

Sherwood's 30-40 year old homes are hitting the age where everything needs replacing at once. Water heaters, garbage disposals, faucets, and supply lines all fail around the same time because they were all installed during original construction. We call these 'cascade failures' because fixing one thing reveals two more problems. Budget for multiple repairs if your Sherwood home is from the 80s or 90s.

Polybutylene pipes are a huge issue in Sherwood neighborhoods built in the 80s. These gray plastic pipes were used everywhere until they figured out the pipes crack and leak for no apparent reason. Insurance companies hate them and some won't cover water damage from polybutylene failures. If your home has these pipes, plan to repipe before they fail.

Basement flooding happens in parts of Sherwood with high water tables. During heavy rain, water seeps through foundation walls or comes up through floor drains. This isn't always a plumbing problem, sometimes it's groundwater, but we install sump pumps and backflow preventers to stop it.

Sewer line problems from tree roots and soil movement are constant. Your main line cracks, roots get inside, and you get slow drains or backups. Camera inspections find the damage location before we start digging.

Drainage service calls in Sherwood usually involve main sewer line problems. The 30-40 year old pipes are cracking from soil movement and tree root intrusion. We clean drains, repair broken sections, and replace full lines when necessary. If your drains are slow throughout the house or you're getting backups, that's your main line telling you it needs attention before it fails completely.

Hydro jetting clears roots and buildup from sewer lines using high pressure water. It's more effective than snaking for tough clogs and it actually cleans the pipe walls instead of just poking a hole through the blockage. We hydro jet lines before we do pipe lining or when roots keep coming back every few months.

Floor drains in basements back up during heavy rain if you don't have a backflow preventer. When the city sewer system gets overwhelmed, sewage flows backward into your house through the lowest drain. We install backflow preventers that let water flow out but nothing can come back in.

Gas installation for remodels is common in Sherwood because people are upgrading from electric to gas appliances. Gas ranges cook better, gas water heaters are more efficient, and gas dryers dry faster. We run the lines, install the connections, and handle all permits and inspections. Your existing gas meter might need upgrading to handle the additional load.

Outdoor kitchens need gas lines too. We install those for grills and fire pits so you have permanent gas instead of propane tanks. We trench the lines underground, sleeve them where they go under driveways or sidewalks, and install shutoff valves at each appliance. Then the city inspector verifies everything before we bury the lines.

We work as a general contractor and remodeler on Sherwood homes that need bathroom and kitchen updates. Bathrooms from the 80s need new fixtures, better layouts, and updated plumbing that meets current codes. The old polybutylene supply lines need replacing with PEX or copper. Cast iron drains might be cracked and need replacing with PVC.

Kitchen remodels mean relocating sinks, adding dishwasher connections, and sometimes moving gas lines. When you're doing a full kitchen gut job, it's the perfect time to replace old plumbing before the new cabinets and counters go in. We rough in all the new plumbing, have it inspected, then come back for final fixture installation after finishes are done.

Adding a bathroom to your Sherwood home increases resale value and ends morning bathroom battles. We run new supply lines and drains from your existing plumbing system. The new bathroom ties into your main sewer line and cold water supply. If you're adding it far from existing plumbing, we might need to run lines through attics or crawlspaces.

Whole house replumbing projects fix all your plumbing problems at once. If you're dealing with constant leaks from polybutylene pipes or low pressure from galvanized lines, repiping makes sense. We replace everything in 3-5 days and you're done with plumbing problems for decades. The cost is less than dealing with emergency repairs and water damage over the next few years.

We pull all required permits and schedule inspections. Sherwood inspectors check rough-in plumbing before walls close up and final plumbing after everything's installed. If something doesn't pass, we correct it immediately and get it reinspected.
