Your Go-To Plumbing Company in Fairborn, OH

Fairborn has an interesting housing story. The city didn’t even exist until 1950, when the villages of Fairfield and Osborn merged, and the population exploded because of the air base. That means most Fairborn homes are 50 to 70 years old. That also means that those materials and methods have aged in pretty predictable ways. Galvanized steel, cast iron, and clay tile sewers are all deteriorating. 

The Right Brothers Plumbing & Drains has served the Greater Dayton area for over two decades, with more than 150 years of combined experience on our team. We’re based in Englewood, a short drive across the metro, and we work in Fairborn every week. Whatever era your home comes from, we’ve worked on it.

Drain Cleaning for Post-War Homes and New Builds Alike

The most common plumbing call we get in Fairborn is a slow or clogged drain. If you’ve got an older home, the kitchen sink alone has probably had decades to build up grease and soap scum. 

We clear drains with augers, snakes, and hydro jetting when the buildup is severe. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast the inside of the pipe. It’s the only real way to fully restore a line that’s been coated with years of grease or scale. If there’s a recurring clog, we can also run a sewer camera down the drain and see what’s going on, and take it from there.

Tree roots are one of the biggest problems for pipes in Fairborn. Clay pipes (you might still have these if your home is from the 1950s and 1960s) have joints every few feet where the sections butt together. That’s very inviting for tree roots underground looking for moisture. 

Trenchless sewer repair in Fairborn, OH, is usually the right answer for homes in the area. It lets us repair or replace the line without destroying your lawn or driveway. We also offer traditional sewer line replacement when trenchless isn’t an option.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

A water heater in Fairborn typically lasts 8 to 12 years. But unfortunately, the hard water here in the Dayton metro puts your water heater through the wringer. If your water heater is making popping or rumbling sounds, delivering less hot water than it used to, or leaking at the base, it’s time to plan a replacement before it fails on a cold morning before school or work.

We install and service gas and electric tank water heaters, plus tankless units for homeowners who want endless hot water or need to free up basement space.

Leak Detection, Gas Lines, and Sump Pumps

Hidden leaks are a bigger problem in older Fairborn homes than you might realize. A slow, hidden leak behind a wall, underfoot, or even in the foundation can drip away, ruining the subfloor, creating conditions for mold, and showing up on your monthly water bill. We use electronic leak detection to find the source without tearing anything apart.

Sump pumps in Fairborn, OH, are also great assets. The region’s clay soil and the occasional heavy rainstorm push groundwater up against foundations. If your basement has ever taken on water, a working sump pump with a backup battery is essential. We install, replace, and service them. We also handle gas line installation and repair for homes, adding appliances, generators, or grills.

24/7 Emergency Plumber Serving Fairborn

That hidden leak can sometimes lead to a burst pipe on a chilly January night, or you might have a backed-up sewer on the morning company is coming over. It’d be nice if these plumbing emergencies happened at convenient times, but they usually don’t. Either way, The Right Brothers dispatches an emergency plumber 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions we hear from our Fairborn customers.

Why do so many Fairborn homes have the same plumbing problems?

It mostly comes down to three things: galvanized steel supply pipes, cast iron drain stacks, and clay tile sewer lines. They’re old, and they’ve had a ton of time to deteriorate. Galvanized pipes corrode and narrow, cast iron rusts and cracks, and clay tile joints separate and let roots in. If your home falls in that age range, it’s worth having a plumber take a look and see what we can do for you.

I'm PCSing out of Fairborn soon. Should I get plumbing issues fixed before I sell?

Yes, in most cases. Ohio sellers have to disclose known defects, and plumbing issues come up fast in home inspections. A sewer camera inspection and a quick plumbing walkthrough before you list can help you decide what’s worth fixing versus disclosing. We do this assessment for Fairborn homeowners regularly, especially for military families on a PCS timeline. Be sure to ask us about our military discount, too!

What's the difference between clay tile sewer lines and PVC, and why does it matter?

Clay tile was the standard sewer line material until about 1980. It’s a series of short pipe sections joined at the ends, and while the clay itself is durable, the joints are weak points. Over time, they crack, and tree roots grow through them. PVC is one continuous pipe with fewer joint failures and no cracks for roots. The majority of homes here in Fairborn still have clay tile. That’s why a lot of our calls to 45324 have to do with old sewer lines.
