AP Affordable Plumbing provides a full range of residential plumbing services including water heater repair and replacement, drain line and sewer line installation, water line replacement, leak detection, and general plumbing maintenance in Stone Mountain, Stonecrest, Conyers, and throughout the greater Atlanta area.

If you're experiencing reduced water pressure, discolored water, frequent leaks, elevated water bills, or the piping is older than two decades, these can indicate a failing water line.

Yes. AP Affordable Plumbing offers drain line installation and sewer line replacement services as part of its residential plumbing solutions in the metro Atlanta region.

Absolutely. We install and service water heaters in homes throughout our service area. If you're dealing with a failing heater or planning a replacement, we're here to help.

We are based in Stonecrest, GA (30038), and serve residential clients in Stone Mountain, Stonecrest, Conyers, and the greater metro Atlanta area. If you're outside that region, just give us a call and we'll confirm whether we can serve you.

When our technician arrives, you'll receive a professional assessment of visible piping (water, drain, sewer), the condition of your water heater, any signs of leaks or root intrusion, and an evaluation of water pressure or other performance issues. After inspection, we'll provide a clear estimate and recommendations for repair or replacement.

Yes - we encourage homeowners to:

• Flush their water heater annually to remove sediment buildup.
• Avoid putting grease or large objects down drains to prevent clogs.
• Inspect sewer lines if your property has mature trees - roots can cause damage over time.
• Monitor for slow drains, higher water bills or weird noises - early detection can save you big.
  
  By following these tips and scheduling regular inspections with us, you'll reduce your risk of major plumbing failures.

Some of the most common plumbing problems we see include clogged drains, running toilets, dripping faucets, low water pressure, and slow or backed-up drains. Regular maintenance and quick attention to small issues can prevent them from turning into costly repairs.

Avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the sink. Use drain screens to catch hair and food debris, and run hot water for a few seconds after using your sink to help flush pipes. For kitchen sinks, we recommend a safe enzymatic drain cleaner every few months.

A running toilet usually means your flapper valve isn't sealing properly or your fill valve needs adjusting. These are easy fixes, but if you're not sure, call AP Affordable Plumbing and we'll repair it quickly to save water and reduce your utility bills.
