About R&A Welding and Plumbing in Pittsburgh, PA

Absolutely, we can help. Basement flooding in our area is often due to a combination of factors, including aging drain lines, improper grading, or failed plumbing. We start with a thorough plumbing inspection to identify if the issue is with your main drain, sewer line, or internal pipes. From there, we can perform targeted drain installation or repair, and if needed, use our metal fabrication skills to create custom drainage solutions that stand up to Pittsburgh's weather, going beyond a simple pump replacement.

It depends on the extent of the damage and the age of your plumbing. For many Pittsburgh homes with original fixtures, a crack or persistent leak around the drain often signals wider corrosion in the pipes behind the wall. We offer expert bathtub repair for minor issues, but we'll always inspect the surrounding plumbing. If the sub-floor or supply lines are compromised—common with aging infrastructure—a new bathtub installation, coupled with pipe replacement, is usually the more reliable, long-term solution to prevent water damage and mold.

Our combination of skilled plumbing and on-site metal fabrication sets us apart. Many historic homes have unique, non-standard pipe fittings or need custom brackets and supports that you can't find at a hardware store. Instead of forcing a generic fix, we can fabricate the exact part needed for a secure, lasting repair. This approach is especially valuable for addressing the quirky plumbing and structural needs of Pittsburgh's older housing stock, ensuring the repair integrates seamlessly with your home's existing infrastructure.
