RDP Plumbing LLC (registered as RDP Services LLC) has served Greater Atlanta since 2018, more than seven years. We’re a local company based on Dunwoody Place in north Atlanta. Over that time we’ve built our reputation on upfront pricing, respectful service, and quality work. You can learn more about us or read our customer reviews.

The cost depends on the type of problem, the parts and materials needed, how easy the pipes are to reach, and whether the job is a repair or a replacement. Because every home is different, we don’t quote blind. Our plumber diagnoses the issue first, then gives you clear, upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know the price before you decide.

Yes. After we diagnose the problem, we explain what we found and give you clear options with upfront pricing for each one. Nothing starts until you approve it. Our pricing is honest, with no hidden fees, so the price you agree to is the price you pay for that scope of work. If we find something unexpected, we talk with you first.

Yes. We partner with GreenSky to offer financing for larger projects, including repiping, water heater installation, sewer line replacement, water line replacement, and cast iron pipe replacement. Financing can help you take care of an urgent problem now and pay over time. Ask about options when you receive your quote.

No. We don’t upsell. Our plumbers recommend what will actually fix the problem, and if a simple repair will do the job, that’s what we suggest. When replacement makes more sense, we explain why and show you the options side by side with upfront pricing. Customers often mention in their reviews that we don’t push extra work.

A plumbing emergency is any problem that can damage your property or make your home unsafe or unusable. Common examples include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backing up into drains, an overflowing toilet you can’t stop, a leaking water heater, and no water at all. If you’re unsure, call our 24/7 emergency plumbing line and we’ll help you decide.

If water is leaking, shut off your main water valve, usually found where the water line enters the house or near the water heater. For a leaking water heater, also turn off its gas or power. Move valuables away from the water, and avoid using drains during a sewer backup. Then call (678) 330-8439 so our licensed plumber can help.

Yes. RDP Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Plumbing disasters don’t wait for business hours, so we don’t either. When you call, you’ll reach our team, and we’ll help you figure out the next steps and get a licensed plumber on the way.

Leave the building immediately. Don’t flip light switches, light matches, or use appliances on your way out. Once you’re safely outside, call 911 and your gas utility’s emergency line. After the area has been made safe, call RDP Plumbing to find and repair the problem. Learn more about our gas line services.

Repeat clogs usually mean the blockage was never fully removed, or there’s a bigger problem further down the line. Grease, soap scum, hair, and wipes build up inside pipes over time, and tree roots can invade older sewer lines. A plunger or store-bought cleaner only clears a small path. Professional drain cleaning removes the buildup and finds the cause.

Hydro jetting uses a stream of high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, clearing grease, sludge, scale, and roots that a standard drain snake leaves behind. It’s a good choice for recurring clogs, main line blockages, and commercial kitchen lines. We often inspect the line with a camera first to confirm hydro jetting is the right fix.

Watch for several drains backing up at once, gurgling toilets, water coming up in a tub or shower when you flush, sewage smells, and soggy patches in the yard. These signs point to a blockage or damage in the main line rather than a single drain. Call us for a camera inspection and sewer line repair, or see our sewer backup service.

A sewer camera lets us see inside your line instead of guessing. We can spot root intrusion, cracks, sagging sections, grease buildup, and broken pipe, and our locating equipment shows exactly where the problem is underground. That helps you avoid unnecessary digging and pay only for the repair you actually need. It’s the first step in most sewer line repairs.

Common warning signs include running out of hot water quickly, rusty or discolored water, rumbling noises, water pooling around the tank, and a pilot light that won’t stay lit. Many problems, like a bad thermostat or heating element, can be repaired. A leaking tank usually needs replacement. Our plumbers will inspect your water heater and give you upfront options for both.

A tankless water heater heats water on demand, so you don’t run out during back-to-back showers, and it takes up far less space than a tank. It can be a great fit for many homes, but your gas line, venting, and household hot water needs all matter. We’ll assess your home and compare tankless and tank options with upfront pricing.

Popping or rumbling usually comes from sediment that has settled at the bottom of the tank. As the burner heats the water, it bubbles up through the sediment and makes noise. Over time this buildup lowers efficiency and strains the tank. Flushing the tank often helps. If the heater is older or leaking, our plumbers can recommend water heater repair or replacement.

Signs of a hidden leak include a water bill that rises for no reason, the sound of running water when everything is off, damp or stained walls and ceilings, warped floors, musty smells, and wet spots in the yard. You can also check whether your water meter moves when no water is being used. Our leak detection service pinpoints the source.

Consider repiping if you’re dealing with frequent leaks, low water pressure throughout the house, rusty or discolored water, or older galvanized or polybutylene pipes. Patching one leak after another can cost more over time than replacing the system. We repipe with copper or PEX, give you upfront pricing, and offer financing through GreenSky for repiping projects.

The water line from your meter to your house can leak because of age, corrosion, shifting soil, tree roots, or freeze damage in winter. Georgia’s red clay expands and contracts with moisture, which adds stress to buried pipes. Signs include soggy grass, low pressure, and a higher water bill. We locate and repair the leak or provide full water line replacement.

If a pipe bursts, shut off your main water valve right away and call us. If a pipe is frozen but not leaking, open the nearby faucet and gently warm the pipe with a hair dryer. Never use an open flame. Frozen pipes can split without leaking until they thaw, so have a plumber check them. We offer fast pipe repair, 24/7.

Yes. We provide commercial plumbing for restaurants, offices, retail stores, and multi-unit properties, and we work with property managers and HOAs. Services include drain cleaning, hydro jetting, backflow prevention, restroom fixture repair, water heaters, and emergency repairs. Because we’re open 24/7, we can often work around your business hours to limit downtime.

Yes. We provide grease trap installation for restaurants and commercial kitchens. A properly sized and installed grease trap keeps fats, oils, and grease out of your drain lines, which helps prevent backups and costly shutdowns. We can also clear grease-clogged kitchen lines with hydro jetting to keep your kitchen running smoothly.

Yes. We repair and replace commercial flush valves on flushometer toilets and urinals, fixing problems like constant running, weak flushes, and valves that won’t shut off. We also service commercial drinking fountains and bottle fillers. Keeping these fixtures working saves water and keeps your restrooms and common areas in good shape.
