Find the Cause Before Replacing Parts
Foam, warm beer, leaks, slow flow, and inconsistent pours can originate from different parts of a draft system. The problem customers and staff notice at the tap is not always where the underlying issue begins.
Draftsman evaluates the system as a whole to identify the cause and determine the appropriate repair. The goal is to restore consistent operation, minimize disruption, and help the team understand what went wrong and what needs to happen next.
Standard Draft System Problems We Repair
POUR QUALITY PROBLEMS
Restore Consistent Pours at the Bar
Foamy beer, slow flow, and inconsistent pours are often symptoms of a problem elsewhere in the system. Draftsman looks beyond the faucet to identify the cooling, pressure, line, or dispensing issue affecting the pour.
- Foamy or Inconsistent Beer – Finding the system conditions that are interfering with a reliable pour.
- Slow Product Flow – Identifying restrictions or equipment problems that may be limiting flow.
- Changes Across Multiple Taps – Determining whether the issue affects one dispensing point or the larger system.
COOLING PROBLEMS
Bring Product Temperature Back Under Control
A long-draw draft system depends on the glycol chiller and related cooling components to maintain temperature between the cooler and the tap. When that system stops working properly, beer may arrive warm and become difficult to pour.
- Glycol Chiller Problems – Evaluating the equipment responsible for cooling the line run.
- Temperature Changes – Finding the source of beer that suddenly begins pouring warmer than expected.
- Line Cooling Issues – Checking conditions that may be preventing consistent cooling between the cooler and bar.
“The gentleman that came out and installed my draft system showed true craftsmanship, professionalism, and customer service.
He was extremely responsive when I tried to contact him and was an absolute pleasure to work with. oh and price he was extremely reasonable and gave me a great deal!!! I would 100% recommend any restaurant, bar, bowling alley, hotel, stadium or any place that serves draft beer to hire this company. I will definitely be using them for all my draft systems in the future.”

LEAKS AND PRESSURE PROBLEMS
Correct Problems That Disrupt System Flow
Leaks, damaged lines, loose fittings, and pressure irregularities can make a draft system unpredictable. Locating the actual failure helps correct the problem without replacing unrelated components.
- Leaks and Loose Connections – Finding product, glycol, or gas escaping from the system.
- Pressure and Flow Problems – Evaluating conditions that affect how beer travels through the system.
- Damaged Lines and Fittings – Repairing or replacing affected components when necessary.
DISPENSING EQUIPMENT REPAIRS
Repair the Parts Used Every Day
Faucets, couplers, regulators, towers, and connections all experience wear during daily service. A problem with one component can interrupt a single tap or affect a larger part of the system.
- Faucets and Couplers – Addressing worn or damaged components involved in dispensing and keg connections.
- Regulators and Connections – Checking equipment that helps control and direct system flow.
- Tower Components – Repairing the visible dispensing equipment used by bartenders and service staff.
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
From Initial Plan to First Pour
Project Review
Draftsman reviews the plans, intended bar layout, equipment, site conditions, and project schedule to understand what the draft system requires.

Tower placement, line routes, conduit, cooler equipment, glycol chiller location, service access, and trade responsibilities are confirmed with the project team.
Draft System Install
Draftsman installs the system in coordination with the active jobsite, connecting the equipment behind the scenes to the finished taps at the bar.
Turnover Completion
The completed installation is reviewed, open items are addressed, and the operator has a direct point of contact for future service and maintenance.
