From century-old homes to new commercial builds, we handle the plumbing work that keeps properties running. Drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure repair, and whole-home repiping are all part of what we do day in and day out across Tucker and the wider DeKalb County area.
We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own. That means careful work, clean jobsites, and honest communication about what your plumbing needs.
One call brings a plumber to your door.
Slow drains and full-stop clogs happen in kitchens, bathrooms, and main lines alike. We clear clogged sinks, showers, bathtubs, and floor drains using the right tools for the job. For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting blasts buildup from pipe walls and restores full flow. We also handle sewer drain cleaning when the problem runs deeper than a single fixture.
Hidden leaks do the most damage because they go unnoticed the longest. We use leak detection methods that locate water behind walls, under slabs, and inside ceilings without unnecessary destruction. Once found, we repair the pipe, whether it is a pinhole, a joint failure, or a burst section. Slab leak detection and repair is part of what we handle, and all repair work is done to code. Early detection keeps a small problem from becoming a large one.
No hot water is an urgent problem, and a leaking water heater is not something to wait on. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and same-day availability means you are not stuck cold overnight when we can help it. Whether your existing unit needs a repair or it is time for a full replacement, we will walk you through the options and get domestic hot water back to your taps.
A running toilet, a dripping faucet, or a leaking fixture wastes water and adds up on your utility bill. We repair and replace toilets, handle clogged and leaking toilet issues, and install new units when replacement makes more sense than repair. Faucet repair and replacement covers kitchen and bathroom fixtures alike. We also install sinks, bathroom and kitchen fixtures broadly, and outdoor faucets and hose bibs that take a beating through Georgia's warm, wet seasons.
A sewer backup or main line clog is one of the messier plumbing problems a property can face. We handle sewer line repair, replacement, and cleaning, along with main water line repair and replacement. Trenchless sewer repair is available where site conditions allow, reducing the disruption to your yard. We keep all language and all work focused on the line itself, from the house to the connection point.
We cover a broad range of plumbing work beyond the core services listed above.
If you have a plumbing need not listed here, call us and ask. Chances are we handle it.
Tucker sits in a humid subtropical climate with heavy seasonal rainfall, a mature tree canopy that has been growing for generations, and clay-heavy soil that shapes how water moves and how pipes behave underground. The metro Atlanta municipal water supply carries a moderate mineral load. These local conditions drive demand for specific plumbing services that come up regularly for property owners here in DeKalb County. The three services below are especially relevant to this area.
Tucker receives significant rainfall throughout the year, and low-lying lots can collect water quickly during heavy storms. A properly installed sump pump protects basements and crawl spaces from flooding by moving water out before it causes damage. We handle the full installation: the pit, the pump, and the discharge line that carries water safely away from the foundation. If your existing pump is aging or failed during the last storm, we can assess it and replace it the same day in most cases.
The mature trees that make Tucker neighborhoods attractive are also a long-term challenge for underground sewer lines. Tree roots follow moisture, and a small crack or joint gap in a sewer line is enough of an invitation for roots to infiltrate and eventually block flow. Clay soil holds moisture and keeps roots active near the surface, which compounds the problem. We cut roots, clean the line, inspect the affected section, and repair or replace pipe where the damage warrants it. Catching root intrusion early avoids a full-line replacement down the road.
Metro Atlanta municipal water is not extremely hard, but it carries enough mineral content to cause scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and water heaters over time. A water softener reduces that mineral load before it reaches your plumbing. We install water softeners as a plumbing fixture, connecting the unit to your supply line and making sure everything is properly sized and plumbed for your home. The result is less scale, longer fixture life, and water heaters that run more efficiently.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. When a pipe bursts, a water heater fails overnight, a major leak appears, or a sewer backup turns a normal evening into a crisis, you need a plumber who picks up the phone and gets moving. We offer same-day availability and respond to emergency plumbing calls after hours and on weekends. Burst pipes, sudden leaks, no hot water, and sewer backups do not wait for business hours, and we do not ask you to wait either.
Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we operate.
We answer the phone. We dispatch the plumber. We keep it simple.
Hearing a running toilet or a drip behind the wall? The first thing most people want to know is what the repair will cost. We give you a clear estimate before any work begins, so you know what you are agreeing to. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, are standard with us. We do not start work and then surprise you with a bill that does not match what was discussed.
Plumbing costs vary by job, and we will tell you honestly what your situation calls for and what it will run. Call us for a plumbing quote and we will give you a straight answer.
Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
For busy homeowners and property managers, having a reliable plumber on call makes a real difference. Homeowners dealing with a leaking pipe or a failing water heater need fast, dependable service. Property managers and landlords overseeing rental units across Tucker and DeKalb County need a contractor who can handle multiple calls, show up on time, and document the work clearly.
We serve both audiences. On the residential side, we handle everything from routine fixture replacements to full repiping jobs. On the commercial side, we work with businesses, property management companies, and building owners on plumbing service, repair, and installation. If you manage properties in the Tucker area, we are the kind of locally owned and operated plumbers who can be your first call.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we are good at it. Hanley Plumbing Company has been working in Tucker and across DeKalb County since 1968.

Our plumbers know the neighborhoods here, the housing stock, the soil conditions, and the kind of plumbing problems that come up in this part of Georgia.
Work is performed by licensed plumbers who take the craft seriously. We are not a company that cuts corners or disappears after the job is done.
Experienced plumbers. Code-compliant work. Professional service.
Call today and we'll get the water back where it belongs.

Yes. We work with single-family homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial businesses across Tucker and DeKalb County. Whether you need a faucet replaced in a home or a full plumbing repair at a commercial property, we handle both. The same licensed plumbers and the same standard of work apply to every job regardless of property type.
When you call, we take your information, get a description of the problem, and schedule a plumber to come to your location. You will know when to expect us before we arrive. Once on site, the plumber assesses the situation, explains what needs to be done, and gives you a clear estimate before any work begins.
We give you an estimate before any work begins, and we do not start until you understand and agree to the cost. If the scope of the job changes once we are into the work, we communicate that with you before proceeding. There are no invoices at the end of the day that bear no resemblance to what was discussed at the start.
Yes. We are available every day, including weekends, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. For emergency situations outside those hours, we respond to urgent calls as well. A burst pipe or a major leak does not wait for a weekday, and we do our best to make sure you are not left waiting either.
It helps to know where the problem is located in the home or building, what symptoms you are seeing (slow drain, no hot water, visible leak, low pressure, etc.), and roughly how long the issue has been present. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. The more detail you can share, the faster we can give you a useful estimate and get the right plumber to your door.
Shut off the water supply to the fixture right away. For a toilet, the shutoff valve is typically located at the base of the unit near the wall. For a sink or other fixture, look under the cabinet for the supply valve. Once the water is off, call us at (943) 292-8789 and we will get a plumber moving toward your location.
Someone should be present who can show the plumber the affected areas, answer questions about the plumbing, and approve the estimate before work begins. For rental properties, a property manager or tenant can fulfill that role. We will not start work without getting your approval on the scope and cost first.
Yes. We work with property managers and landlords who oversee multiple residential and commercial units throughout Tucker and DeKalb County. We offer consistent scheduling, clear communication, and thorough documentation of the work completed. Call us to talk through what your portfolio needs and how we can best support it.
A single visit can cover drain cleaning, leak repairs, water heater issues, toilet and faucet problems, shutoff valve replacement, garbage disposal work, and water pressure diagnostics, among other things. If you have more than one issue in the home, it often makes sense to address them together while the plumber is already on site. We will let you know what we find and what we recommend.
Hanley Plumbing Company is ready to take your call. Whether you need same-day service for an emergency or want to schedule a repair at your convenience, we will give you an up-front quote and send a plumber who knows the work. No surprises on pricing, no delays on response.

| Plumbing Service | What the Job Covers | Best For | Helpful to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sewer and Main Line Service |
| properties experiencing backups, slow drains at multiple fixtures, or yard wet spots | Trenchless repair reduces yard disruption significantly when site conditions allow; we assess the line and explain your options up front. |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal |
| homeowners and landlords dealing with slow or stopped drains | Recurring clogs often signal a deeper blockage or root intrusion; hydro jetting clears pipe walls where snaking only punches through. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| homeowners dealing with weak flow at fixtures or a shutoff valve that no longer closes fully | A failing pressure reducing valve affects the whole house; a shutoff that does not close is a liability in any leak or emergency. |
| Slab Leak Detection and Repair |
| homeowners with warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or damp concrete | We locate the leak before opening the slab; repair options range from spot repair to pipe rerouting depending on the extent of the damage. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| any situation where water is actively causing damage or a system has failed overnight | We respond to emergency calls after hours and on weekends; the first step is always shutting off the water supply to limit damage. |
| Toilet Repair and Installation |
| households wasting water on a running toilet or dealing with a failing unit | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a month; repair or replacement usually resolves the issue in one visit. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| properties surrounded by mature trees, which are common throughout Tucker neighborhoods | Clay soil holds moisture near the surface and keeps roots active close to pipe joints; catching intrusion early avoids a full-line replacement. |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation |
| homeowners remodeling or dealing with a dripping or failing fixture | Outdoor faucets and hose bibs take extra wear through Georgia's warm, wet seasons and are worth inspecting if you notice reduced flow. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| older homes with galvanized steel pipes, persistent leaks, or discolored water | Repiping is a multi-day job on most homes; we give you a clear timeline and scope before work begins so there are no surprises. |
| Water Softener Installation |
| homeowners noticing scale buildup on fixtures or reduced water heater efficiency | Metro Atlanta water carries enough mineral content to shorten fixture and water heater life over time; proper sizing matters for lasting results. |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular |
| homeowners and property managers facing no hot water or a leaking unit | Most water heater replacements are completed in a single visit; we walk you through tank versus tankless options before any work begins. |
| Leak Detection and Repair |
| anyone noticing unexplained water damage, high water bills, or damp walls | Early detection keeps a small leak from becoming a major structural problem; we locate the source before opening anything up. |
| Well Pump Service |
| properties on private well water experiencing loss of pressure or no water | Loss of water pressure or no water at all is the most common sign a well pump needs attention; we assess before recommending replacement. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Tucker homeowners with low-lying lots or a history of basement or crawl space flooding | Tucker receives significant rainfall throughout the year; a properly installed sump pump moves water out before it causes foundation damage. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| households with a disposal that hums, leaks, or has stopped working | Most disposal issues are resolved in a single visit; replacement is often the more cost-effective call on older units. |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first factor. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is in that range and you are seeing rust-colored water, a rumbling or popping noise during heating, or a unit that no longer keeps up with demand, replacement is usually the better investment. A leak at the tank itself almost always means replacement rather than repair. We will assess the unit when we arrive and give you a straight answer on which direction makes sense.
What causes drains to slow down or back up?
Kitchen drains accumulate grease, soap, and food particles over time. Bathroom drains collect hair and soap buildup. Main line backups are often caused by years of buildup, a collapsed section of pipe, or tree root intrusion, which is a common issue in Tucker given the mature tree canopy and clay soil throughout the area. If multiple fixtures are slow at the same time, the problem is likely in the main line rather than an individual drain.
How do you find a hidden leak without tearing out walls?
We use leak detection methods that locate water behind walls, under slabs, and inside ceilings before opening anything up. The approach depends on where the leak is suspected. Under-slab leaks often show up as warm spots on the floor, unexplained spikes in the water bill, or the sound of running water when everything is turned off. Once we locate the source, we explain the repair options and the scope before any work begins.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We respond to urgent calls after hours and on weekends, including burst pipes, sudden leaks, and no-hot-water situations. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we operate.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
Multiple drains backing up at the same time is the clearest sign. Other indicators include gurgling sounds from toilets when you run a sink, sewage odor inside the home, or wet or sunken spots in the yard above where the sewer line runs. In Tucker, tree root intrusion is a frequent cause because mature roots follow moisture toward pipe joints. If you are seeing any of these signs, it is worth calling sooner rather than later.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line?
Roots follow moisture, and even a small crack or a slightly loose joint in a sewer line is enough of an opening for roots to enter. Once inside, they grow and branch until they restrict or completely block flow. Tucker's clay soil holds moisture close to the surface and keeps roots active near underground pipes year-round. We cut the roots, clean the line, and inspect the affected section to determine whether repair or replacement is needed.
What is the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
A snake, or drain auger, physically breaks through or pulls out a clog. It is effective for many common blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast buildup off the interior walls of the pipe, including grease, scale, and root debris that a snake leaves behind. For recurring clogs or lines that have not been cleaned in years, hydro jetting restores full flow rather than just punching a temporary hole through the blockage.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins and do not start until you have agreed to the scope and cost. What we discuss at the start is what appears on the invoice at the end.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
Someone should be present who can show us the affected areas, answer questions about the plumbing, and approve the estimate before work begins. For rental properties, a property manager or tenant can fill that role. We will not start work without getting your approval on the scope and cost first, so having a decision-maker available when we arrive keeps things moving.
How does pricing work, and will the estimate change once work starts?
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, are standard with us. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we communicate that with you before proceeding. There are no invoices at the end of the day that bear no resemblance to what was discussed at the start. Plumbing costs vary by job, and we will tell you honestly what your situation calls for.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job is handled by licensed plumbers who know the work and take it seriously. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
Minor things like replacing a showerhead or tightening a supply line connection are reasonable DIY tasks. Anything involving the main line, a sewer line, a water heater, a shutoff valve that has not been turned in years, or a leak you cannot locate is worth a call. Attempting a repair on a gas supply line, a slab leak, or a main shutoff without the right tools and experience can turn a manageable problem into a much larger one.
What should I do while waiting for a plumber during an emergency?
Shut off the water supply to the affected fixture or, if the leak is significant, to the whole house at the main shutoff. For a toilet overflow, the shutoff valve is at the base of the unit near the wall. For a burst pipe or a major leak you cannot isolate, the main shutoff is usually near the water meter or where the supply line enters the home. Once the water is off, call us and we will get a plumber moving toward your location.
How long does a whole-home repipe take?
Most whole-home repipes take two to four days depending on the size of the home, the layout of the existing plumbing, and the pipe material being replaced. We give you a clear timeline and scope before work begins. Water service is interrupted in sections during the work so you are not without water for the entire duration. We also handle the inspection process to make sure the finished work meets code.
Every property and every plumbing problem is a little different, so call us at (943) 292-8789 and we will give you a straight answer on what your situation needs.
