Plumbers in Springdale, Arkansas

Being based in Springdale does not mean every Springdale house has the same plumbing. Some are decades old and some were framed last year. What matters is what is in the ground and behind the walls, so the first visit is about finding that out: what the sewer line is made of, where the cleanout sits, how old the water heater is, and whether the supply lines are copper, galvanized or PEX.

When a sewer line is the problem, we have our own excavators, so the crew that finds the break with a camera is the crew that digs it. A trench for a sewer tie-in is measured, bedded and sloped. The pipe has to fall toward the street at a steady grade, or the line holds water and clogs again. If a property is on a septic system instead of city sewer, the same crew handles the tank, the lines and the inspection.

Hard water comes up in nearly every water heater conversation in Northwest Arkansas. Calcium and magnesium settle to the bottom of a tank, sit between the burner or element and the water, and shorten the life of the unit. A Springdale tank that pops or rumbles is usually telling you about sediment. We will say honestly whether it is a repair or a replacement.
