Plumbing questions, answered for Andrews

Most Andrews homes were built around 1981, and 46% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and fixtures, well past service life. We check pipe condition, fixture age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Andrews is pitted galvanized pipe on older homes. Local housing is predominantly single-family homes with their own water heater and service line, plus a core of older in-town residences, so corroded copper pipe and fittings in the humid air turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

We cover Andrews and the surrounding area — including ZIPs 29510. If you're anywhere in Andrews, you're in our service area — call (213) 579-0947 and we'll confirm the next available window.

Our Andrews trucks carry parts for Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and Bosch, plus most legacy tank and tankless models — so Andrews repairs are usually one-and-done. Across Georgetown County we're authorized Rheem and Navien dealers for both tank and tankless installs.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber. Gas connections, scalding water, and code-required venting make DIY genuinely risky. Our licensed Andrews plumbers handle it safely across Georgetown County, usually in a single visit, for a flat rate — including ZIPs 29510.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Andrews line is far cheaper than a full repipe. Our Georgetown County plumbers will tell you honestly when a Andrews repair beats a repipe — and never push a whole-home repipe you don't need. When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
