If you have a basement, you may have a sewage pump, also known as sewage ejector pump or sewage grinder pumps. Similar to a sump pump, a sewage pump pumps the sewage from the lower area away from the home and a higher area, but also pushes wastewater to your sewage system or septic tank. L.D. Smith Plumbing repairs or replaces and installs sewage pumps.
Leak Detection/Repair
Many houses are built on a single layer of a concrete slab foundation. Most times, the water lines and sewer lines are built underneath that slab which could cause problems over time because of shifting soil, aging pipes, or other factors. A slab leak can cause significant damage to your property if left untreated. Slab leaks can cause corrosion, water waste, mold, flooring damage, and many other long term problems.

Water Heater Repair/Replacement
When you keep getting cold water when you want hot...there’s a problem. Water heaters can last years – 7-10 is your typical span – without any major issues. No hot water is definitely a big red flag, but not the only one. If you notice leaks, hear a noise, or just know that it’s time to start thinking about a new model, call L.D. Smith Plumbing.
Many toilet problems are quick do-it-yourself repairs, but you may need a plumber if there are consistent problems and quick fixes like using the plunger or making an “adjustment” aren’t working. The L.D. Smith Plumbing team can determine if it’s a larger issue such as a clogged drain or the tank components need to be replaced, or an easy fix that requires a few steps more than a plunger.
As part of this service, L.D. Smith Plumbing also offers water jetting, or “jetting” as a fast, effective method. A jetter is used when drain lines cannot be cleaned in a conventional sewer cleaning. The jetter, attached to a water source, is pushed through the drain line. Water is essentially sprayed through the line at a pressure of up to 3000 psi to remove the blockage, essentially pressure washing your drain line.
