  • What are the signs of a failing water or sewer line?

    Common indicators include frequent clogs, slow drains, unexplained damp spots in the yard, and unpleasant sewer odors. In some cases, you may even notice foundation cracks or sinkholes. These issues signal a deeper problem that requires professional inspection and possible replacement.

  • How does excavation tie into plumbing and sewer replacements?

    Excavation is often necessary to access underground water and sewer lines. At Absolute Plumbing LLC, we use precision equipment and proven techniques to minimize disruption and ensure that your property is restored properly after the work is complete.

  • What’s the difference between hydro jetting and traditional drain cleaning?

    Traditional drain cleaning removes blockages with augers or snakes, which punch holes through clogs. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of pipes, removing grease, roots, and buildup for a more thorough and longer-lasting solution.

  • Why is professional installation of underground utilities important?

    Improperly installed water, sewer, or storm lines can lead to leaks, contamination, or even system failure. Professional installation ensures compliance with local codes, proper grading, and long-term reliability for your property.

  • What causes recurring drain clogs even after cleaning?

    If clogs keep coming back, the issue may be damaged pipes, misaligned joints, or tree root infiltration. Our advanced inspections allow us to identify the root cause and provide permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes.

  • How does trenchless sewer replacement work?

    Trenchless methods involve creating small access points instead of digging up your entire yard. Using pipe bursting or pipe lining, we replace or rehabilitate your existing line with minimal disruption, saving both time and landscaping costs.

  • Can hardscaping be included after excavation or sewer work?

    Yes. Once excavation or underground utility work is complete, we can restore your yard with hardscaping services such as patios, walkways, or retaining walls. This ensures your property looks better than before while also improving functionality.

  • What are the risks of ignoring a small plumbing leak?

    Even minor leaks can lead to hidden water damage, mold growth, and structural issues over time. Addressing leaks quickly saves money, protects your home, and prevents the need for costly emergency repairs later.

  • How do Baltimore County’s seasonal changes affect plumbing systems?

    Cold winters can cause pipes to freeze and burst, while heavy rains may overwhelm drainage and sewer systems. Regular inspections and maintenance are the best defense against weather-related plumbing problems in the region.

  • What sets Absolute Plumbing LLC apart from other plumbing companies?
