Plumbing Services

If you experience clogged sinks, you're not alone. Clogged drains are the most common problem that affects nearly every American home sooner or later. So, why do your drains keep clogging and what can you do?

The most common cause of clogs in the bathroom is hair that gets trapped in the pipes. In the kitchen, it's usually grease and fat from food that gunks up the pipes. Most people reach for an over-the-counter drain cleaner to clear them, which works but comes with its own problems. Drain cleaners that use harsh acid can damage pipes, which can lead to expensive repairs down the road. For best results, call a Marietta plumbing services company to professionally and safely clean your drains.

If your sewer is backing up, then you have a blockage in the line. But did you know one common reason for clogged pipes that people don't consider is tree roots?

Yep, tree roots gravitate towards the water, and the pressure from the roots can cause them to penetrate the pipe and block it. If you have frequent backups, tree roots may be the issue. Call a residential plumbing company for help.

When you turn on the tap expecting to take a hot shower or bath but get only lukewarm or no hot water, it's usually a problem with your hot water tank. Hot water tanks fail eventually, and if your tank exhibits these symptoms, it's time to consider a replacement.

• Cloudy, Rusty Water
• Lukewarm Water
• Banging or Gurgling Noises
• Rust
• Leaking Water

All of these are signs that your water heater is failing and in need of a replacement. If you notice any of these signs, call a Marietta plumbing services company right away.
