Elite Residential Plumbing Solutions

Specialized Care for Your Most Important Asset

At Pulliam Plumbing Company, we don't divide our attention between large construction sites and your home. We are 100% focused on the residential experience. This means we arrive on time, use floor protection, and explain every repair in detail. Our goal is to provide a seamless, stress-free experience that restores your home's comfort. From minor leaks to major upgrades, we deliver the premium quality Columbia deserves.

Drain and Sewer Diagnostics

When water drains slowly, backups occur, or gurgling sounds emerge from your pipes, simply guessing the cause is inefficient. Our comprehensive drain and sewer diagnostic service is the foundational step for all professional plumbing repair. We move beyond guesswork by utilizing a combination of traditional techniques—like listening and pressure testing—along with high-tech tools to identify exactly where and why your drainage system is failing. Whether it's a persistent clog, a collapsed pipe, infiltration by tree roots, or sagging 'bellies' in the main sewer line, our precise diagnostics ensure we recommend the correct, long-term solution.

Camera Inspections

The core technology powering our diagnostic capability is the high-definition sewer camera inspection. This service is a non-invasive marvel that takes the guesswork entirely out of subsurface plumbing issues. A Pulliam technician inserts a flexible, fiber-optic cable equipped with a high-resolution, waterproof camera and powerful LED lights into your drain or sewer clean-out. As the camera travels through the line, it transmits real-time video to a high-definition monitor.We can see every detail of the pipe’s interior, including cracks, root intrusion, corrosion, build-up, and potential joint failures.This procedure allows us to provide visual proof of the issue and precise location data, facilitating accurate repairs without destructive 'exploratory' digging.

Hydro Jetting

When standard drain snaking can’t clear heavy sludge, grease, mineral deposits, or stubborn root intrusions, Pulliam Plumbing employs the powerful force of hydro jetting. This process is essentially pressure washing for the inside of your pipes. We insert a specialized hose with a multi-directional nozzle into the plumbing system. A heavy-duty pump forces large volumes of water at extremely high pressure (up to 4,000 PSI) through the line. The forceful blasts of water scour the entire circumference of the pipe wall, completely removing scale, emulsifying grease, and pulverizing heavy roots. Hydro jetting restores old pipes to a "like-new" internal condition and is often the best preventative maintenance against future blockages.

Main Line Drain Clearing

The main drain line is the critical artery that carries all wastewater from your property to the municipal sewer or septic system. When this line is blocked, your entire home or business can grind to a halt. Main line clearing requires heavy-duty tools beyond residential-grade equipment. At Pulliam Plumbing, we deploy powerful, industrial-grade drain augers (motorized snakes) to physically cut through and retrieve massive clogs, such as those caused by flushable wipes, feminine products, or thick root masses. This service focuses on restoring emergency flow quickly and effectively, ensuring your facility is operational while we determine if more comprehensive repairs are needed.

Sewer Line Problems and Repair

When diagnostics reveal structurally compromised pipes—such as severe corrosion, shifts, collapses, or major root intrusion—simple clearing is insufficient. Pulliam Plumbing specializes in the complete spectrum of sewer line repair. We address problems using both traditional excavation methods and modern trenchless technologies. Our goal is to fix underlying structural failures rather than just clearing symptoms. This may include pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through the old one) or Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, where we create a new, structural pipe inside the damaged host pipe. We restore the integrity of your property’s critical waste infrastructure with minimal disruption.

Leak Detection and Diagnostics

Hidden water leaks can cause catastrophic structural damage, mold growth, and massive utility bills before they are even visible. Our leak detection service utilizes advanced, non-invasive technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak, whether it's buried under a concrete slab, hidden within a wall, or deep underground. Our technicians use sensitive acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and tracer gas technology to 'see' and 'hear' water escaping from pressurized pipes. This precise diagnostics methodology prevents unnecessary damage to your property by ensuring we only access the pipe at the exact point of failure for repair.

Water Pressure Problems

Low water pressure makes simple tasks like showering or washing dishes frustrating, while excessively high pressure (over 80 PSI) can secretly destroy your appliances and plumbing fixtures. Pulliam Plumbing specializes in diagnosing and correcting erratic water pressure. We perform comprehensive pressure testing at multiple points in your system. We investigate municipal supply issues, check for unseen leaks, inspect for mineral scaling in older pipes, and examine the operation of critical components like the main shut-off valve and the pressure regulator. We ensure your system operates safely and efficiently.

Pressure Regulator Replacement

A Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV), or pressure regulator, is a vital safety device often located where the main water line enters your home. Its job is to take high (and fluctuating) incoming municipal water pressure and reduce it to a safe, consistent level (typically 50-60 PSI) before it reaches your fixtures and appliances. When a PRV fails, your home may experience dangerously high pressure spikes, leading to burst hoses, pinhole leaks, running toilets, and shortened appliance lifespan. A Pulliam Plumbing technician can quickly diagnose a failed PRV during a pressure test and professionally install a new, code-compliant regulator to protect your entire plumbing system.

Water Heater Replacement and Repair

Whether you have a traditional tank or a modern tankless system, Pulliam Plumbing is your expert for water heater performance. We diagnose problems like failed heating elements, broken gas valves, faulty thermostats, or dangerous sediment buildup. When repair is no longer cost-effective (or your tank is leaking), we specialize in the professional installation of replacement systems. We guide you through selecting the correct unit (sizing, fuel source, efficiency rating) and ensure a code-compliant installation, including safety thermal expansion tanks and proper venting. We restore your hot water quickly and safely.
