Providing Expert Drainpipe Replacement Services for Properties in the Chicago Suburbs

It isn’t easy to own and maintain your home, especially with a to-do list of tasks that only seems to grow each day. Balancing it all means that some things may have to take priority over others, but there’s one area that you should always make sure is working properly: your drains. While they may be easy to overlook, your drain system is what makes so many of your everyday actions—including showering, washing the dishes, brushing your teeth, and flushing the toilet—possible. Nothing lasts forever, though, and even the most durable of drain systems can become damaged from regular wear and tear. Without the right solution, this can lead to further problems for your home that are costly to repair.

If your current drain system is out of date, has suffered severe corrosion, or is malfunctioning regularly, you may want to consider a drainpipe replacement. At Flatley’s Plumbing Express, we know that this decision is a difficult one. As a leading plumbing contractor that’s been serving the Chicago suburbs since 1960, we have seen it all when it comes to drain and can help you find a cost-effective solution that meets the needs of your home.  

Signs You Need a Drainpipe Replacements

The following signs could be a signal from your drains that something is wrong:

  • Flooding
  • Noises
  • Foul odor
  • Old system
  • Increase in utility bills
  • Poor water quality
  • Low water pressure
  • Clogs or slow drainage
  • Frequent toilet overflowing

These signs should never be ignored, so give Flatley’s Plumbing Express a call as soon as you notice any of them.

Understanding Your Drainpipe Options

Different areas of your property have different types of pipes, with the most common piping system materials being:

  • Brass
  • Copper
  • Galvanized steel
  • Cast iron

Each of these materials has a general lifespan of 70-100+ years, though the exact average lifespan will differ for each option. It’s important for you to know the age, type, and condition of your drainpipe system, especially if you find out that your pipes are made of lead or polybutylene. Pipes made of either of these two materials should be removed immediately, as both can cause potential damage or water contamination. Lead pipes can introduce lead into your drinking supply, which can cause potential health hazards. Polybutylene pipes weren’t popular until the 1970s, but they are extremely fragile and prone to breakage. If you have either system working in your home, don’t hesitate to contact Flatley’s today.

WHAT SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN SAYING

Our Testimonials

We love our clients and they love our work. Our team is very experienced in both residential and commercial projects.
I called early in the morning and they had someone to my house within a few hours.  Turns out the situation really needed to be fixed ASAP; not only did they get workers and permits immediately, but the crew worked amid a down pour so that we could have working water again.  They were professional, prompt, and provided great work. Highly recommend them.
