Plumbing Services in Hanahan, SC

How the service list is organized

Emergency repairs cover leaks, burst pipes and failed lines. Fixtures covers the toilets, faucets and disposals most households use every day. Drains and sewer covers everything from a kitchen sink clog to a root-damaged main. Water heaters and planned work make up the rest.

If you cannot tell which page fits, call. The dispatcher can usually sort it out in a minute and point you to the right service.

Choosing between repair and replacement

Repair makes sense when one part has failed and the rest is sound. Replacement makes sense when the part that failed is the symptom of age. A 12-year-old tank that leaks from the tank body is a replacement. A worn faucet cartridge is a repair.

Every service page includes a decision table so you can see the logic before you call, including what a clear price should cover.

Questions to ask any plumber before work starts

These apply to us and to anyone else you call.

• Are you licensed in South Carolina, and can I verify it with LLR?
• What is the price for the work you are proposing, and what does it include?
• If you find something different once the wall or drain is open, how will I hear about it?
• Will you shut off the water, protect the floors and clean up when you finish?
• Is a permit needed, and who pulls it? (The City of Hanahan Building and Codes department can answer for your address.)

What the plumber checks on a first visit

Most visits begin with the same three checks. Where is the water going or stopping, what is the age and material of the pipe or fixture involved, and what else shares that line? The answers decide whether a repair is enough.

A good diagnosis ends with a plain explanation: what failed, why it failed, what the repair changes and what could fail next. Ask for that explanation, and ask to see the failed part when it comes out.
