Drain, sewer line and water heater work for Cherry Hill homes, old and new.
Cherry Hill grew fast in the decades after the war, and a lot of its neighborhoods are full of homes built in that era. Galezniak Plumbing has been working on South Jersey plumbing just as long, since 1955.
Homes of that age often still have original cast iron drains, galvanized supply pipe or clay sewer laterals. All of them can keep working for a long time, but they fail in predictable ways, and we know what to look for.
Mature trees line many Cherry Hill streets, and their roots find their way into older sewer laterals through joints and cracks. That shows up as slow drains and repeat backups in the basement. Galvanized water lines rust from the inside and lose pressure, and cast iron drains can crack with age. We clear the line, find the cause and repair or replace what has failed.
Not every backup means digging up the yard. Often a thorough cabling of the main line restores flow, and we can tell you whether the problem is roots, a sag in the line or a broken section. When a sewer or water service line does need replacing, we explain the work and the cost before we start.
Why does my Cherry Hill basement drain keep backing up?
In older homes the usual causes are tree roots in the sewer lateral, grease build-up or a sagging section of pipe. We cable the line and find which one it is.
My water pressure has dropped over the years. What causes that?
In many older Cherry Hill homes it is galvanized supply pipe rusting from the inside. Replacing those lines brings the pressure back.
Do you have to dig up my yard to fix a sewer line?
Not always. Many backups clear with a thorough cabling. If a section has failed and must be replaced, we explain the work and the cost before we start.
