James F. Lane started Atomic Plumbing in 1968, with only two trucks to service plumbing and heating needs throughout the Tidewater area. Ten years later, Jim Steinle came to work for the company and took over the operation in 1986 upon the untimely death of Jim Lane. Today, Steinle runs the company with the same business ethics established by its founder. Atomic Plumbing now runs fifteen trucks, providing plumbing work for the entire Hampton Roads area. We offer a complete line of plumbing services and hire the best-trained, certified technicians.

When a plumbing emergency happens, the first thing to do is stop the flow of water. Turn off the main water shutoff valve or the shutoff valve for the problem appliance (usually found underneath sinks and toilets, and behind clothes washers, water heaters and other appliances) ASAP. If you turn off the main water supply, you should also turn off your water heater. This can be done by turning off the circuit breakers or the gas supply to the water heater. Failure to do so can cause the water heater to overheat, possibly damaging the heating elements.

Puncturing a sewer line during construction is not only expensive, it's avoidable. Give Atomic Plumbing a call - we'll come out to your home and use state-of-the art technologies to locate important water, sewer, and gas lines before work begins. The largest lines in and out of your home are your sewer lines. Keeping them clear and free is critical to the performance of your plumbing and sewage system. If your sewer lines are clogged, virtually every drain in your house will be affected. Signs of sewer line issues include gurgling noises from your toilet and multiple slow running drains.

Commercial properties are required to have their backflow preventer tested and certified every year. A quality inspection ensures that clean, drinkable water continues to be available to the community we serve. Backflow preventers do exactly what the name implies, they keep sewage and waste water from flowing backwards and contaminating potable water with non-potable water. Such contamination usually occurs at cross connections in the plumbing system. For example, a cross connection might include steam pipes, boilers, and irrigation systems crossing with pipes that carry clean, drinkable water.

A gas leak is a potentially dangerous situation that requires the attention of qualified gas contractor. If you suspect a leak, you can quickly confirm the leak by running a soapy sponge around the pipe connection where the leak is suspected. If soapy bubbles appear, call Atomic immediately.
