PLUMBING SERVICES
24/7 Emergency Services
Life happens always at the worst possible time, but no matter the time Hometown Plumbing and Septic is ready to help fix your plumbing problems. So, no matter what you are facing, we will respond quickly, and help you get your life back to normal.
Here are a couple of plumbing emergencies that regularly respond to. We offer 24/7 emergency services. In most cases, we can respond faster than our competitors.
• Did your water heater fail and flood your home?
• Are drains backing up into your home or business?
• Is your main water line broken or gushing out of the ground?
• Is your restaurant without hot water?
• Did a pipe burst and is it causing a flooding?
Water Heater Repair
We are water heater experts. Whatever the issue is with your hot water, we can resolve it! Electric water heaters have elements inside that will fail and gas water heaters have a thermocouple device inside the burner assembly that can also fail. When these devices fail, or any other devices attached to your water heater we can fix it. We keep parts on our trucks for nearly all water heaters and can quickly diagnose the issue with your water heater and repair it.
Water Heater Replacement
Water heaters have a lifespan of 8-10 years and if yours is this old or older you are on borrowed time. When water heaters fail, they almost always leak, and no one can tell you when this will occur or how big the leak will be. Water heaters are always full of hot water, and they are always under constant water pressure. If they leak it is the same as a leaking water pipe, meaning it will not stop until the leak is found and water is turned off to the unit.
Don't wait until your house floods or the boxes in your basement full of old pictures and keepsakes are ruined from your leaking water heater. Call us! We have the most competitive water heater replacement rates in Metro Atlanta.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tank style water heaters are still to this day the most common way to heat water in our homes, but they are not the best way. Tank style water heaters have a limited amount of hot water, and they heat and reheat the same hot water over and over whether you use the hot water or not. Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water and they only heat water when a faucet is turned on.
Tankless water heaters can solve many large families that constantly running out of available hot water. When you switch from a 40 or 50-gallon tank to a tankless system, you family will have an endless supply of hot water.
Tankless water heaters have come a long way in the past 20 years, and they can provide enough hot water for nearly any home, regardless of its size. Tankless water heaters are significantly smaller in size compared to tank style water heaters and a lot of times homeowners will gain an entire closet by switching to a tankless water heater. We can remove your old tank style water heater and install a tankless water heater in the same day. Call us for a quote!
Water Leak Detection and Repair
Leaks can occur underground or under the concrete foundation of your home. When this happens they oftentimes are not even realized until you receive your water bill. We have leak detection equipment that allows us to listen with ultra-sensitive sound detection to find the sound or the noise of the leak even underground or under the concrete foundation. If this is happening to you, give us a call, we will find the leak then provide a quote to repair it.
Water Line Replacement
Your main water line in the yard usually consists of a plastic pipe that is supplying your home with high pressure water. This pipe lasts around 20 years then it will begin to leak at random locations underground in the yard. The pipe can be repaired but replacing it is usually the most cost-effective way to ensure you're not plagued with more leaks and more costly repairs of an already old and failing pipe. We replace these water lines frequently and we are experts. If you have a beautifully landscaped yard, or an irrigation system that you don't want damaged, or your grass is something you don't want disturbed, we can replace water lines in the yard with very little disturbance to the landscape. Call us for more details.
Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement
No one appreciates their garbage disposal until it stops working. However, if your sink’s garbage disposal is humming or not working when you flip the switch, then we can help. In most cases your disposal is just jammed or the electrical fault in the device has tripped. If it's jammed, then we can remove the debris that has caused the disposal to jam. If the worst case occurs and your disposal needs replacement, then we can quickly replace it with one of our many high-quality garbage disposals that we stock on our truck. So regardless of what is causing the issue with your garbage disposal, we can quickly and affordably fix your garbage disposal.
Pressure Regulator Valves
In Metro Atlanta, we are provided with high water pressures from the municipalities, and they require pressure regulator valves to reduce that pressure or regulate that pressure down to engineering limits that are suitable for our plumbing faucets, toilets, and appliances.
When a pressure regulator valve (PRV) fails you may not notice its subtle effect on your plumbing system, but what will happen is your toilets will start to run when they're not being used, or a faucet may start dripping.
A not-so-subtle indicator of a failed pressure regulator valve (PRV) is when you hear noises like a freight train or large boat horn inside the home even if water is not being used inside the home. Resolving water pressure issues inside your home or business is an urgent matter that should be taken seriously.
When your home is exposed to a faulty PRV you are allowing your pipes, water heater, faucets, toilets, and clothes washer hoses to be vulnerable to excessive water pressure which will fail and cause a flood inside your home. We will test your water pressure before and after any repair is done to your faucets, toilets, or water heater. Replacing the PRV is a common repair, and we keep our trucks stocked with them.
Repiping
Many of the homes built in the 1980's and 1990's have Polybutylene water piping. Unfortunately, over time polybutylene water pipes are proving to be defective, and in most cases those pipes will need to be replaced. If these pipes are left in the place, they will likely leak or worse suffer a catastrophic failure that could flood your home. Replacing the pipes is a large project that will require removing sheetrock walls to access the pipes. We have done many Polybutylene water pipe replacements, so if this is something you need to address in your home, then don’t hesitate to give us a call for a free estimate.
Sewer Line Camera Inspection
Do you believe that you have a sewer drainage issues and you would like to have someone investigate and diagnose your sewage line, then we can help! One of our master plumbers can complete a sewer line camera inspection to determine if there are any blockages or other potential causes of frequent backups. Not only can we see the inside of your sewer pipes, but we can also locate them underground, under concrete, and inside walls. We provide this service free with any drain cleaning service we provide.
Sewer Line Repair
Let's be honest! The underground sewer line on your property is something you may never think about but when it isn’t doing what's intended it will become a constant pest and could even haunt you!
This pipe takes all the sewage waste from your home to the street where the sewer main is located and if it is broken, or if it's old and collapsing, or if tree roots have gotten into it, it will back up into your home. If any of this is happening to you then you need this line repaired or replaced.
We can send our sewer camera into your sewer drain line, locate the affected portion of pipe, precisely dig down to it, repair it, and put your yard back. We will contact local utility providers and have all your underground utilities marked prior to any digging and we will only dig what's needed to get down to your pipe and we warranty all our work.
Toilet Repair
Do you have toilets that are constantly running or not flushing right? After many years the parts inside your toilet can become worn. We repair all toilets, and we keep parts on our trucks for nearly any toilet that's in need of repairs. If your toilet is old or you'd like a new toilet we can replace them. We will bring a toilet to her home, remove your old toilet, install a new toilet, and haul away the old toilet.
Backflow Prevention
Commercial properties and irrigation systems at residential homes have a backflow device or preventer installed on their main water supply. A backflow preventer is in place to protect the local municipality’s water source from being contaminated. Because of what could happen if the water source was contaminated these backflow devices require testing and proof of testing must be reported back to the water authority. If you've had your device tested and it needs to be repaired or replaced, we can help you resolve this.
Drain Clearing and Cleaning
We all love our hot and cold-water supply in our homes but something that is oftentimes overlooked or forgotten is our drain system in our home. Over the years, you may notice how some drains in your home or business are just not flowing like they used to.
The kitchen sink for example is the most abused drain in the house and it is a lot of times the most difficult drain to clear. In some homes the kitchen sink drain is connected downstream to the washing machine drain. This can be a worst-case scenario for a kitchen sink drain clog because in this case your kitchen sink waste which consists of grease and food particles can mix with the lint particles coming from your clothes washer drain.
Another common drain issue is our sink drain in our bathrooms. a buildup of hair combined with shaving cream and toothpaste will eventually tangle up in the drain assembly underneath the sink. Soap and hair is the most common cause for slow or clogged drains in the bathrooms. These drain issues are usually not a real difficult or expensive task to clear, and we would be happy to clear them for you.
The most vital drain in our homes is the main sewer pipe leading from our home to the street. This pipe takes all the waste from the home and dumps it into the main sewer system. When this pipe is clogged it is most likely an indication of a big issue that can require digging in the yard or jetting the line to clear the blockage. Tree roots, broken pipe, and "bellies" in the drain piping are the common causes of main drain backups into the home. If you hear gurgling noises coming from the toilet when the clothes washer is draining this can be an indication of blockage in the main sewer pipe and will require immediate action to avoid sewage backing up into your home and causing property damage.
If you're having any kind of drain issues in your home, we have over 20 years’ experience clearing drains. We have invested in our company and the ability to provide our customers with adequate equipment and know how to repair and clear any drain in your home or business. Any time you have us clear a drain blockage in your home or business, we will do a camera inspection of the drain to ensure the blockage is completely removed and if something more is needed to avoid a recurring blockage, we will make you aware of it and provide a plan of action to resolve it for the long term.
