Residential Plumbing in La Vergne
We fix and replace the plumbing parts your home uses every day: faucets, toilets, shutoff valves, sump pumps and backflow devices. After a storm or a sudden failure, we help you get water under control first, then sort out the rest.
Everyday plumbing, done the right way
Most calls we get are not big projects. A toilet that runs all night. A shutoff valve that will not turn. A sump pump that quit during a heavy rain. These are small parts, but when one fails it can stop your day or put water where it should not be.
We check it over, show you what is wrong and say plainly whether a repair will hold or a replacement makes more sense. The price is in your hands before we pick up a tool.
If the trouble started with a storm, a power outage or a hard freeze, call us at any hour. Our 24/7 emergency plumbing service is there to stop the damage. Once things are safe, we come back on a normal schedule for anything that can wait.
What our residential plumbing work covers
Faucets, sinks and toilets
We replace worn faucets, install new sinks and swap out toilets that rock, run or crack. We set new supply lines and wax rings so the new fixture starts clean.
Shutoff valves
The older round-handle valves found under sinks and behind toilets tend to freeze in place after years of sitting still. We put in quarter-turn valves you can close fast when something goes wrong. We also make sure your main shutoff works.
Sump pumps and battery backups
Heavy spring rain is hard on crawlspaces and basements. We replace failed sump pumps, check the float and discharge line, and can add a battery backup so the pump keeps running when the power drops in a storm.
Backflow prevention
We are backflow certified. We install and replace backflow devices on irrigation lines and other connections where dirty water could get pulled back into your drinking water.
Outdoor spigots and pressure
We replace cracked hose bibs with frost-free models and install or adjust pressure regulators when high pressure is wearing out your fixtures.
Tank water heater swaps
When a standard tank heater fails, we replace it and bring the venting and relief valve up to code. If you are thinking of going tankless, see our Tankless Water Heater Installation page.
Signs it is time to call a plumber
A valve will not close
If you cannot turn off the water under a sink or at the main, you have no way to stop a flood. Fix this before you need it.
The sump pump hums but does not pump
A stuck float or burned motor often shows up in the first big rain of the season. Test it by pouring a bucket of water into the pit.
Water around the base of the toilet
A rocking toilet or a soft spot in the floor usually means a failed seal. Left alone, it can rot the subfloor.
Spigots that split after a freeze
A hard winter night can crack an outdoor faucet inside the wall. You may not see it until you turn on the hose in spring.
Banging pipes or sputtering faucets
Loud pipes and fixtures that spit air can point to high water pressure or a failing regulator. Both shorten the life of everything connected to your plumbing.
How a job day goes
- 1
You call, we listen
Tell us what you see and when it started. If water is running where it should not be, we walk you through shutting it off while we head your way.
- 2
We look and explain
We inspect the problem, take photos if it helps you see it, and tell you what is wrong in plain words. You get a written price before any work starts.
- 3
Floors covered, then the repair
Before tools come out, we cover the floor and anything near the work so nothing gets wet or scuffed. We turn off only the lines we need, so the rest of the house keeps running. A new valve or fixture is usually finished on the same visit.
- 4
Final check and cleanup
We run the water, look for drips and make sure every valve closes the way it should. Then we haul off the old parts and leave the space clean.
What moves the price
The estimate is free, and you see the price in writing before any work begins. Most of the cost comes down to the part you choose and how hard it is to reach. If you need to spread out the payment, financing options are available. We take cash and all major credit cards.
- The part itself
- A basic faucet or pump costs less than a high-end one. We will lay out a couple of choices and tell you which one we would put in our own house.
- Access
- A valve under an open sink goes quick. One buried behind tile or tucked deep in a tight crawlspace takes more time.
- What we find behind it
- Corroded fittings or a rotted floor under a toilet add work. We show you what turned up and price it before going further.
- Code updates
- Some swaps, like water heaters and backflow devices, need parts brought up to current code. That is part of doing it right, and it shows up as its own line on the estimate.
- After-hours calls
- Work during a storm or in the middle of the night costs more than a scheduled visit. If it can safely wait until morning, we will say so.
Residential plumbing questions
Something not covered here? (615) 544-3733
Is your work covered after you leave?
Yes. We back our residential plumbing work with a 2-year warranty. If a fixture, valve or pump we put in starts acting up during that time, give us a call and we will send someone back to look at it.
Should I repair my sump pump or replace it?
If the pump is fairly new and only the float switch failed, a repair can make sense. If the motor is burned out or the pump has some years on it, replacement is usually the better use of your money. We will tell you which one fits your situation.
What should I do first if a storm knocks out power and my crawlspace is taking water?
Stay out of standing water if any wiring or outlets are near it. If your pump has no battery backup, call us for emergency service. Once the water is down, we can talk about adding a backup so it does not happen again.
Do I need a backflow device on my sprinkler system?
Most irrigation systems tied to your drinking water need one. Without it, fertilizer and dirty water can get pulled back into the lines your family drinks from. We install new devices and replace old ones that have stopped doing their job.
Do you work outside La Vergne?
Yes. We also take residential plumbing calls in Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Nolensville, Mount Juliet and more of the surrounding area. The Service Areas page lists every town we cover.
