We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, and Hanley Plumbing Company has been doing exactly that in Tucker since 1968. That is 58 years of showing up, fixing the problem, and leaving the job right. Homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients across DeKalb County have called us when the water heater quits, the drain backs up, or a pipe lets go at the worst possible time. We answer the phone. We dispatch the plumber. We keep it simple.
We are locally owned and operated plumbers who know this area, know its housing stock, and know what it takes to get the job done without drama or surprise fees. If you need a plumber in Tucker today, you have found the right place.
From century-old homes to new commercial builds, we have seen just about every plumbing situation this area can produce. We started in Tucker in 1968 when a single plumber with a truck and a commitment to doing good work set up shop here and started taking calls from neighbors. That original spirit of personal accountability has carried forward through every decade since. The name on the truck has not changed, the address has not changed, and the standard of work has not changed.
We live and work in this community, and our plumbing shows it.
Over the years we have worked inside historic bungalows with galvanized supply lines, mid-century ranch homes with aging cast-iron drains, newer construction with PEX throughout, and commercial properties with demands that residential plumbing never puts on a crew. That range of experience matters when your house has a quirk that a less seasoned plumber would not recognize right away. We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own, which means we do not cut corners and we do not leave a mess. Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
For busy homeowners and property managers, having a single plumbing contractor who can handle everything from a clogged kitchen drain to a full sewer line replacement is worth a great deal. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, sewer and main line service, fixture installation, whole-home repiping, slab leak detection, and emergency calls around the clock.
Work is performed by licensed plumbers who follow Georgia code on every job, whether it is a straightforward faucet swap or a more involved repiping project. We bring the same standard of care to a small bathroom repair as we do to a large commercial installation. One call brings a plumber to your door.
Slow drains and blocked lines are among the most common calls we handle. A clogged sink, a backed-up shower drain, a toilet that will not clear, or a main drain that is sluggish through the whole house all point to the same need: get the line open and keep it open. We use rooter service for standard blockages and hydro jet drain cleaning for lines that need a more thorough flush, including grease buildup in kitchen lines and debris that has accumulated over years. We cover every drain in the home, including bathtub drains, floor drains, and the main sewer drain that ties everything together. We diagnose the cause, clear the line, and tell you what we found.
A drip behind a wall or a soft spot in the floor can mean water has been moving somewhere it should not for longer than you realize. We handle water leak detection, hidden leak detection, and slab leak detection and repair for homes and commercial properties across the area. Catching a slab leak early in a Tucker home can prevent significant structural damage, so we take that diagnostic work seriously. We also handle pipe leak repair, burst pipe repair, and water line leak repair. The process starts with a thorough look at the system so we understand the scope before we recommend a repair path.
No hot water is one of those problems that stops a household in its tracks. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we handle commercial water heater installation and repair for business clients who cannot afford extended downtime. Common calls include a water heater that has stopped producing hot water, a unit that is leaking from the base or the connections, and older tanks that have simply reached the end of their useful life. We will assess the unit, explain the options, and let you decide whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Toilet repair and replacement, running toilet repair, and toilet clog repair are everyday work for us. So are faucet repair and installation across kitchen and bathroom fixtures, shower installation and repair, and bathtub work. If a fixture is outdated, leaking, or simply not performing the way it should, we can replace it or repair it depending on what the situation calls for. We also handle garbage disposal installation, repair, and replacement. These are the kinds of jobs that pile up in an older home and benefit from having one reliable crew handle them all at once.
Sewer line problems range from a slow-building backup caused by root intrusion to a more urgent collapse or break that needs immediate attention. We handle sewer line repair, sewer line replacement, sewer line cleaning, and sewer backup repair. We also service the main water line that brings supply into the home, including main water line repair and replacement and water service line work. Where trenchless methods are appropriate for the conditions, we use them to minimize disruption to the yard. We speak only to the line itself; what happens on the far end of that line is a separate trade and a separate call.
Older homes in Tucker and the surrounding DeKalb County area often carry original supply lines that have reached the point where repairs are no longer the most practical answer. Whole-house repiping, copper repiping, and PEX repiping give a home a fresh start on the supply side and eliminate the cycle of small leaks that aging pipe tends to produce. We also diagnose and repair low water pressure, replace pressure regulators, and handle shutoff valve repair and replacement throughout the system. If pressure problems have been nagging at your home for a while, a call to us is a good first step.
Every job we take on is completed to code by licensed plumbers who know what the work requires. That is not a marketing statement; it is the standard we hold ourselves to because cutting corners on plumbing creates problems that show up months or years later, often at the worst time. We pull permits when the work requires them, we use materials appropriate to the application, and we do not hand the job off to someone less qualified once we have taken your call. When we finish a job, the work is done right and the area is left clean. If something is not right, we come back and make it right. We are not satisfied until the customer is, and that has been the standard here since 1968.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. We offer same-day scheduling for calls that come in during the day, and we are available for plumbing emergencies around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. A burst pipe, a major leak, or a complete loss of hot water does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. We maintain prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, because we understand that some situations cannot sit until the next available appointment.
When you call, you reach someone who can take your information and get a plumber moving toward your location. Experienced plumbers. Code-compliant work. Professional service.
Hearing a running toilet or a drip behind the wall? Before the stress of wondering what the repair will cost adds to the problem, know that we operate on upfront pricing with no-pressure estimates. We look at the job, we give you the number, and the work does not start until you understand what you are agreeing to. There are no invoices at the end of the day that bear no resemblance to what was discussed at the start. Residential homeowners and commercial clients both get the same straightforward approach: the cost is explained before we pick up a tool. Call today and we'll get the water back where it belongs.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, which means commercial clients get the same experienced crew and the same standard of work as any residential job we take on. We handle commercial drain cleaning, restaurant plumbing service, office plumbing repair, and larger-scale installations for businesses across Tucker and DeKalb County. Property managers working with multi-unit residential or mixed-use properties rely on us for consistent scheduling, clear communication, and a crew that shows up when expected and completes the work without creating new problems. We understand that a property manager's reputation depends in part on how quickly maintenance issues get resolved, and we take that responsibility seriously.
We are based in Tucker and serve the full DeKalb County area, including the communities closest to us and the neighborhoods that make up the broader metro. Our service area includes:

| 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.
