<content:encoded><![CDATA[When a faucet starts to drip, it’s more than a nuisance—it’s the steady tick-tock of money going down the drain. In Athens, Georgia—where homes range from historic craftsman bungalows to modern builds—no two plumbing systems are exactly alike. That’s why homeowners and business owners turn to Plumber Pro Service & Drain. As <a href="https://bestplumbers.com">Best Plumbers</a>’ <a href="https://plumberproservice.com">recommended plumber for faucet repair</a>, replacement, and installation across the Athens region, we combine craftsmanship, code-correct work, and neighborly service to keep your water exactly where it should be: flowing perfectly when you need it, silent when you don’t.
From Five Points and Normaltown to Oconee and Watkinsville, our licensed plumbers arrive with fully stocked trucks, upfront pricing, and solutions that fit your fixture and your budget—whether that’s a quick cartridge rebuild, a valve and supply-line refresh, or a full faucet upgrade. We install and service all major brands, offer water-saving and ADA-friendly options, and stand behind our work with clear warranties. Most jobs are handled the same day, so your kitchen, bath, or bar sink gets back to smooth, drip-free performance without the runaround.
<h2>Why Your Faucet Matters More Than You Think</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3474" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--300x215.png" alt="" width="231" height="165" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--300x215.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--1024x735.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--768x552.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--600x430.png 600w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip-.png 1029w" sizes="(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px" />A faucet is a small fixture with a big job. It influences:
<ul>
<li>Water costs: A slow drip can waste gallons per day.</li>
<li>Hygiene & convenience: Reliable handwashing, cooking, cleaning, and bathing.</li>
<li>Design & value: The right faucet elevates kitchen and bath aesthetics instantly.</li>
<li>Longevity of your plumbing: A failing faucet can stress supply lines, valves, and seals.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Repair First, Replace When It’s Right</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1168" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/faucet-leaks-300x300.png" alt="" width="220" height="220" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/faucet-leaks-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/faucet-leaks-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/faucet-leaks-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/faucet-leaks-266x266.png 266w" sizes="(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px" />We believe in repair-first honesty. If a precise, durable fix makes sense, we’ll do that before suggesting replacement.
Common fixes we handle fast:
<ul>
<li>Leaking spouts or handles: Cartridge, O-ring, or washer replacements that stop the drip.</li>
<li>Low water pressure: Aerator cleaning, hidden debris removal, or supply line corrections.</li>
<li>Temperature fluctuations: Mixing valve and cartridge calibration.</li>
<li>Noisy operation: Diagnosing water hammer, loose mounting, or worn internal parts.</li>
<li>Finish issues: Guidance on cleaning methods that protect modern finishes from etching.</li>
</ul>
When repair isn’t the best long-term value—corroded bodies, discontinued internals, or chronic leaks—we’ll recommend a replacement that fits your style, budget, and water-use goals.
<h2>Replacement That Feels Like an Upgrade</h2>
<img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2901" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/faucets-3-300x214.png" alt="" width="194" height="139" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/faucets-3-300x214.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/faucets-3.png 656w" sizes="(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px" />Swapping a faucet shouldn’t be a hassle. We make it a smooth, one-visit upgrade.
What you can expect from Plumber Pro:
<ul>
<li>Thoughtful selection help: Single-handle vs. widespread, pull-down vs. pull-out, touch/touchless, and ADA-friendly options.</li>
<li>Finish that lasts: Chrome, stainless/“brushed nickel,” matte black, brass, or two-tone—matched to your fixtures and hardware.</li>
<li>Smart water savings: EPA WaterSense and high-efficiency options that protect pressure while trimming usage.</li>
<li>Future-proof choices: Ceramic disc cartridges, durable supply lines, and valve compatibility that simplify future repairs.</li>
</ul>
We’ll remove your old faucet, inspect shutoff valves, clean the deck or sink holes, install the new fixture to spec, and verify every connection. No drips, no mess—just crisp, confident operation.
<h2>Installation Done Right (the First Time)</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2817" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-repair-300x231.png" alt="" width="205" height="158" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-repair-300x231.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-repair-768x592.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-repair-600x462.png 600w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-repair.png 923w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px" />Remodeling a kitchen or refreshing a bath? Proper faucet installation is about more than tightening a nut.
Our installation standards:
<ul>
<li>Code-correct connections: Quality supply lines, secure escutcheons, and leak-free seals.</li>
<li>Perfect alignment: Handles that stop precisely, spouts centered over sinks, and sprayers that retract smoothly.</li>
<li>Integrated accessories: Soap dispensers, filtered water taps, bar sinks, pot fillers, and instant-hot systems.</li>
<li>Under-sink upgrades: New angle stops, braided lines, and clean, labeled shutoffs for easy future service.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Athens-Smart Advice for Long-Term Performance</h2>
<ul>
<li><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-2810" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-dripping-300x276.png" alt="" width="180" height="166" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-dripping-300x276.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-dripping-768x706.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/faucet-dripping.png 895w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" />Know your water: Mineral content varies; periodic aerator cleaning and cartridge maintenance keep flow strong.</li>
<li>Protect the finish: Avoid harsh abrasives; a soft cloth and mild soap preserve modern coatings.</li>
<li>Use the shutoffs: If you sense a leak, turn off the local valves and call us—fast action saves cabinets and flooring.</li>
<li>Think system-wide: A “simple” faucet issue can reveal aging valves or supply lines. We’ll assess the whole picture so you’re not fixing the same corner twice.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Commercial Plumbing? We’ve Got You Covered</h2>
From restaurants and coffee bars to salons, labs, and offices, we install and service pre-rinse units, metering faucets, sensor faucets, backflow-protected fillers, and specialty lab fixtures—with minimal downtime and clear documentation for your records.
<h2>Why Athens Chooses Plumber Pro Service & Drain</h2>
<ul>
<li>Trusted locally: A reputation built on craftsmanship, courtesy, and clean job sites.</li>
<li><a href="https://bestplumbers.com/georgia/athens/plumbing-services/plumber-pro-service-drain">Recommended by Best Plumbers</a>: Recognized for <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/expert-faucet-repair-in-athens-georgia-trust-plumber-pro-service-drains/">faucet repair, replacement, and installation in the Athens, GA</a> region.</li>
<li>Transparent pricing: Clear options before work begins.</li>
<li>Pro-grade parts: We use components we’d want in our own homes—because many of our customers are our neighbors.</li>
</ul>
<h2>FAQs</h2>
Q: My faucet drips only at night. Is that normal? 
A: No. Nighttime silence just makes it easier to hear. A worn cartridge, O-ring, or seat is likely. We can fix this quickly.
Q: Should I choose touchless? 
A: Touchless is great for kitchens and commercial restrooms. We’ll verify power (battery vs. plug-in), sink clearance, and splash patterns so it works flawlessly.
Q: Can you replace just the faucet without changing the sink or countertop? 
A: Absolutely. We’ll match your hole configuration (single-hole, 4-inch centerset, 8-inch widespread) and provide plates or gaskets as needed.
Q: What brands do you install? 
A: We service and install all major brands and will steer you toward models with reliable cartridges, easy-to-find parts, and strong warranties.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting in Athens, GA
Athens homes have personality—vintage bungalows in Five Points, student rentals near campus, new builds dotting Oconee. But no matter the zip code, one truth keeps bubbling up: drains don’t care how charming your home is. Grease congeals, soap scum hardens, tree roots hunt for moisture, and suddenly your kitchen sink or main line is staging a slow-drain protest.
That’s where Plumber Pro Service & Drain shines. Founded and led by Georgia Master Plumber Sam Ivey, our Athens team clears clogs the right way—starting with smart diagnostics and the least invasive solution, then stepping up to hydro-jetting when the line needs a deep, wall-to-wall clean. Whether you need a quick cable clear <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/drain-cleaning/">drain cleaning</a> or a full jetting service, Plumber Pro Service & Drain is the best call you can make in Athens, Watkinsville, Bogart, and beyond.
<hr data-start="922" data-end="925" />
<h2 data-start="927" data-end="985">Why Drains Clog in Athens (and What That Means for You)</h2>
<ul data-start="986" data-end="1413">
<li data-start="986" data-end="1117">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3165" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains-300x274.png" alt="" width="218" height="199" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains-300x274.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains.png 714w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" />Kitchen lines: FOG (fats, oils, grease) cools into concrete-like plaque. Coffee grounds and starchy foods glue it together.
</li>
<li data-start="1118" data-end="1207">
Bathroom lines: Hair + soap film = braided nets that snag everything behind them.
</li>
<li data-start="1208" data-end="1321">
Main sewer lines: Settled joints, scale, and tree roots (Athens is leafy—roots love hairline cracks).
</li>
<li data-start="1322" data-end="1413">
Basement & rental units: Higher usage, wipes, and “mystery items” accelerate buildup.
</li>
</ul>
Every clog tells a story. Our job is to fix today’s problem and erase the conditions that will cause tomorrow’s.
<hr data-start="1531" data-end="1534" />
<h2 data-start="1536" data-end="1593">The Case for Professional Drain Cleaning (Cable/Snake)</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3726" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clogged-drain-drain-cleaning-300x208.png" alt="" width="260" height="180" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clogged-drain-drain-cleaning-300x208.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clogged-drain-drain-cleaning-1024x709.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clogged-drain-drain-cleaning-768x532.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/clogged-drain-drain-cleaning.png 1222w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px" />Cable cleaning—also called snaking—uses a rotating steel cable to break through obstructions and restore flow fast. It’s the industry’s proven first line of attack.
When snaking is ideal:
<ul data-start="1791" data-end="1957">
<li data-start="1791" data-end="1854">
Isolated clogs near fixtures (kitchen, tub, shower, lavatory)
</li>
<li data-start="1855" data-end="1898">
Early-stage buildup and soft obstructions
</li>
<li data-start="1899" data-end="1957">
First-time blockages where the line is otherwise healthy
</li>
</ul>
Benefits of snaking with Plumber Pro Service & Drain:
<ul data-start="2017" data-end="2397">
<li data-start="2017" data-end="2087">
Fast relief: We get water moving now—often in under an hour.
</li>
<li data-start="2088" data-end="2186">
Targeted approach: Right head for the right clog (spade, hook, cutter, or specialty bits).
</li>
<li data-start="2187" data-end="2261">
Cost-effective: The most affordable fix when deposits are minimal.
</li>
<li data-start="2262" data-end="2397">
Evidence-based: We can follow a cable clear with a camera inspection to confirm the pipe’s condition, so you’re not guessing.
</li>
</ul>
Pro Tip: If the same line clogs again within weeks or months, you’re looking at entrenched buildup, roots, or scale. That’s your cue to step up to hydro-jetting.
<hr data-start="2570" data-end="2573" />
<h2 data-start="2575" data-end="2637">Hydro-Jetting: A Deep Clean for Athens Drains & Sewer Lines</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1533" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/drain-cleaning-300x247.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="247" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/drain-cleaning-300x247.jpg 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/drain-cleaning.jpg 486w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Think of snaking as poking a hole through the traffic jam; hydro-jetting clears the highway. Using specialized nozzles and water under high pressure, jetting scours 360° of the pipe wall, removing grease, sludge, scale, and roots (after mechanical root cutting, when needed).
What hydro-jetting does better:
<ul data-start="2955" data-end="3426">
<li data-start="2955" data-end="3045">
Full-pipe cleaning: Restores near-original diameter by removing wall accumulation.
</li>
<li data-start="3046" data-end="3146">
Grease & sludge elimination: Breaks and flushes sticky films that cables can’t fully remove.
</li>
<li data-start="3147" data-end="3233">
Scale removal: Cuts mineral crust that narrows older cast-iron and clay lines.
</li>
<li data-start="3234" data-end="3340">
Root management: After cutting, jetting washes out hairlike roots and debris so they don’t re-mat.
</li>
<li data-start="3341" data-end="3426">
Prevents quick re-clogs: With the gunk gone, your line stays clear much longer.
</li>
</ul>
Best hydro-jetting candidates:
<ul data-start="3463" data-end="3688">
<li data-start="3463" data-end="3500">
Recurring kitchen/main line clogs
</li>
<li data-start="3501" data-end="3545">
Restaurants, rentals, and high-use homes
</li>
<li data-start="3546" data-end="3589">
Older homes with clay or cast-iron pipe
</li>
<li data-start="3590" data-end="3688">
Homes prepping for sewer liner or real estate sale (jet + camera = clean bill of health)
</li>
</ul>
When it’s time for hydro-jetting in Athens, Plumber Pro Service & Drain brings purpose-built equipment, nozzle options for your pipe size and material, and techs who jet methodically—section by section—so your system isn’t just flowing; it’s reset.

<h2 data-start="5424" data-end="5479">Commercial Drain Cleaning & Rental Properties: Keep Revenue Flowing</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3725" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/commercial-drain-cleaning-service-300x158.png" alt="" width="316" height="167" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/commercial-drain-cleaning-service-300x158.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/commercial-drain-cleaning-service-1024x540.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/commercial-drain-cleaning-service-768x405.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/commercial-drain-cleaning-service.png 1124w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px" />For restaurants, student rentals, salons, and medical offices, downtime is money. We offer after-hours jetting, maintenance schedules, and documentation your insurer and health inspector will love. Ask about quarterly kitchen-line jetting and annual main-line service to prevent <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/emergency-plumbing/">emergency plumbing</a> repair calls.
For multi-unit landlords and property managers, we bundle scheduled hydro-jetting and camera inspections with priority dispatch, so you’re never stuck juggling vendors when a stack backs up on a Saturday. You’ll get GPS- and time-stamped service reports, HD video links of pre/post conditions, and a punch-list of any developing issues (bellies, root intrusions, failing joints) to plan capital repairs before they become emergencies. Ask about per-door pricing and turnover specials for student housing near UGA—fast clears between tenants keep move-ins smooth and reviews positive.
Food-service operations need more than a quick snake. Our Athens hydro jetting crews de-scale kitchen laterals, cut through hardened FOG, and flush mains to code-right cleanouts—an ideal complement to your grease-trap program. We’ll help you set quarterly jetting for high-volume lines, add access cleanouts where they’re missing, and maintain a digital FOG & line-maintenance log your health inspector will appreciate. The result: fewer mid-rush backups, safer floors, and consistent discharge flow that protects your brand and bottom line.
Medical, salon, and office campuses benefit from quiet after-hours service and low-disruption methods. We stage containment, protect finishes, and use odor control while restoring full capacity to exam-room sinks, sterilization drains, shampoo bowls, and shared restrooms. Post-visit, you’ll receive a preventive schedule tailored to fixture count and usage, plus simple staff checklists that reduce callouts. When reliability matters, Plumber Pro Service & Drain is Athens’ trusted partner to keep revenue flowing—without the drama.

Not when performed by trained pros who match pressure, flow, and nozzle to your pipe material. We jet conservatively and verify with camera video.
How long does a hydro-jetting service last? In a typical home with good habits, many customers enjoy years of clear flow. High-grease or high-usage lines may benefit from scheduled maintenance.
Do I need a camera inspection every time? It’s the best way to confirm the cause and condition. We recommend it after any major clog or before/after jetting for documentation.The post <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/athens-secret-to-forever-flowing-pipes-pro-drain-cleaning-hydro-jetting/">Athens’ Secret to Forever-Flowing Pipes: Pro Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting</a> first appeared on <a href="https://plumberproservice.com">Plumber Pro Service & Drain</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you’ve lived in Athens long enough, you know our town runs on great food, good company, and Saturdays between the hedges. When friends and family flood in for game day—or for any big gathering—your plumbing sees the same surge your favorite tailgate spot does. A little prep goes a long way toward keeping your kitchen, guest bath, and drains from getting backed up.
As a local, family-owned company, Plumber Pro Service & Drain has helped homeowners from Five Points and Normaltown to Watkinsville and Winterville sail through big-crowd weekends without a hitch. Here’s your insider’s guide—written by an Athens neighbor—to hosting confidently and knowing exactly when to call in the pros.
<h2 data-start="1141" data-end="1200">The Week-Before Checklist (15 Minutes That Save the Day)</h2>
1) Find your main water shutoff. Every Athens home is a little different. Yours might be at the meter by the street, in a crawl space, or on an interior mechanical wall. Make sure one adult in the house can reach it quickly.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3161" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve-220x300.png" alt="" width="188" height="256" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve-220x300.png 220w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve.png 596w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px" />2) Open the cleanout cap (and make sure it’s accessible). Homes in our older in-town neighborhoods often have a yard cleanout near the foundation or driveway. Clear mulch or ivy and verify the cap turns. If you have repeated slow drains, this access point can cut hours off an emergency visit.
3) Give the water heater a quick check. If guests are staying over, dial your tank’s thermostat to 120°F (safe and hot enough) and scan for moisture around the base. If it’s more than 8–10 years old or you hear popping sounds, flag it for a service call.
4) Test “little” parts that cause big headaches. Run each bathroom sink, flush each toilet, and watch for sluggish drains, gurgles, or water at the base of the toilet (often a wax ring). These are early warning signs—fixing them early prevents game-time chaos.
<h2 data-start="2269" data-end="2321">Kitchen Playbook: What Not to Put in the Disposal</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3171" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal-209x300.png" alt="" width="172" height="247" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal-209x300.png 209w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal.png 646w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 172px) 100vw, 172px" />Athens tailgates are legendary, but your disposal isn’t. Treat it right:
<ul data-start="2397" data-end="2720">
<li data-start="2397" data-end="2558">
Never: fats/oils/grease (solidify and trash), fibrous peels (celery, corn husks), big bones, coffee grounds, or large amounts of rice/pasta (they swell).
</li>
<li data-start="2559" data-end="2653">
Do: cold water before, during, and 15–20 seconds after use; small, soft scraps only.
</li>
<li data-start="2654" data-end="2720">
Keep a grease jar by the stove—when it fills, cap and trash.
</li>
</ul>
If your sink backs up when the dishwasher runs, you’re likely dealing with a partial clog in the branch line or a tired air-gap. That’s a great time to call Plumber Pro Service & Drain for a professional clean-out or hydro-jetting to clear grease and soap deposits in one go.
<h2 data-start="3003" data-end="3051">Guest-Bath Blitz: Quick Wins for High Traffic</h2>
<ul data-start="3053" data-end="3575">
<li data-start="3053" data-end="3208"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-13 alignright" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/plumbing1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="187" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/plumbing1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/plumbing1-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px" />
Place a wastebasket by each toilet. It’s the easiest way to prevent “flushable” wipes (which aren’t really flushable) from hitting your sewer line.
</li>
<li data-start="3209" data-end="3306">
Stock a flange plunger (the kind with the extension)—it seals modern toilet bowls better.
</li>
<li data-start="3307" data-end="3427">
Tighten loose handles & check fill valves. A noisy or slow-filling tank usually needs a $15 part and 15 minutes.
</li>
<li data-start="3428" data-end="3575">
Slow shower drain? Hair and soap scum are the usual suspects. If a basic hair catcher doesn’t help, we can snake it fast—no chemicals needed.
</li>
</ul>
<h2 data-start="3577" data-end="3604">Septic-Savvy? Read This.</h2>
If you’re just over the county line in Oconee, Barrow, or Jackson and on septic, spread out showers and laundry so you’re not flooding the drainfield all at once. Be conservative with garbage disposal use and keep antibacterial products to a minimum; they can upset tank biology. If it’s been 3–5 years since your last pump—or you notice slow drains throughout the house—schedule service before your crowd arrives.
<h2 data-start="4030" data-end="4076">Athens Red Clay, Tree Roots, and Your Sewer</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3560" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/tree-roots-in-plumbing-1-300x214.png" alt="" width="220" height="157" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/tree-roots-in-plumbing-1-300x214.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/tree-roots-in-plumbing-1-1024x730.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/tree-roots-in-plumbing-1-768x547.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/tree-roots-in-plumbing-1.png 1075w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px" />Our infamous red clay and mature shade trees (we love them!) can push clay or cast-iron sewer joints apart over time. Classic clues:
<ul data-start="4212" data-end="4372">
<li data-start="4212" data-end="4287">
Multiple fixtures slow or gurgle (especially lowest-level tubs/showers)
</li>
<li data-start="4288" data-end="4327">
Occasional sewage smell in the yard
</li>
<li data-start="4328" data-end="4372">
Floor drain “burps” when the washer drains
</li>

A camera inspection pinpoints whether you’ve got scale, offsets, or roots. From there, Plumber Pro Service & Drain can clear the line (snaking or hydro-jetting), then recommend long-term solutions like sectional repairs or trenchless options where appropriate.

Whether it’s a dripping faucet, a clogged toilet, or a burst pipe at midnight, plumbing problems can quickly spiral into major headaches if left unchecked. That’s why it’s so important to have a reliable, highly-rated plumbing company on speed dial.
For homeowners and business owners in Athens, Georgia, that trusted name is Plumber Pro Service & Drain.
<h2 data-start="732" data-end="780">Your One-Call Solution for Plumbing Problems</h2>

We’re your local, family-owned team that’s committed to solving your plumbing issues quickly, affordably, and with the highest level of professionalism. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services, routine maintenance, complex repairs, and installations—all delivered by licensed, experienced plumbers who care about doing the job right the first time.
With more 5-star reviews than any other <a style="color: #000000;" href="https://plumberproservice.com">plumber in Athens</a>, it’s easy to see why so many families in the region turn to Plumber Pro Service & Drain when plumbing issues arise.
<h2 data-start="1205" data-end="1367">The Cost of Ignoring Plumbing Issues</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3474" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--300x215.png" alt="" width="262" height="188" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--300x215.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--1024x735.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--768x552.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip--600x430.png 600w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/faucet-drip-.png 1029w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px" />Minor plumbing problems can often appear harmless, but they tend to worsen over time. A small leak may slowly rot the wood under your sink. A “sluggish” drain could be the start of a deep sewer clog. Ignoring these issues doesn’t just risk inconvenience—it risks property damage and higher repair costs down the line.
That’s where Plumber Pro Service & Drain comes in. Our Athens plumbing team doesn’t just patch things up; we solve the root problem so it stays fixed. We’re known for being thorough, honest, and meticulous about every detail.

<h2>Why Routine Plumbing Maintenance Matters</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3476" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/plumbing-maintenance-4-300x216.png" alt="" width="269" height="194" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/plumbing-maintenance-4-300x216.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/plumbing-maintenance-4-1024x736.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/plumbing-maintenance-4-768x552.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/plumbing-maintenance-4.png 1140w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px" />Even if your plumbing seems fine today, regular inspections and maintenance can prevent costly surprises down the road. A simple check-up could reveal corrosion in your pipes, slow leaks under your sink, or buildup in your water heater.
We recommend scheduling a plumbing inspection once a year—especially if your home is over 10 years old or you’ve recently noticed issues like low water pressure, increased water bills, or noisy pipes.
With Plumber Pro, routine maintenance is easy, affordable, and gives you peace of mind that your plumbing is in top shape.
<h2>Serving Athens and Beyond</h2>
We proudly serve the following Athens-area zip codes: 30601, 30602, 30605, 30606, 30607, 30609
Our service area also includes Clarke, Oconee, Barrow, Jackson, Walton, and Gwinnett Counties—at no extra charge.

<h2 class="blog-single-title"><a style="color: #000080;" href="https://plumberproservice.com/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-a-summer-plumbing-essential-for-athens-homeowners/">Check Your Outdoor Spigots and Hoses: A Summer Plumbing Essential for Athens Homeowners</a></h2>
<h2 data-start="989" data-end="1013">What Is PEX Repiping?</h2>
PEX, or cross-linked polyethylene, is a flexible plastic tubing that has rapidly grown in popularity over the past two decades. It’s widely used in new construction and plumbing remodels—and for good reason.
<h3 data-start="1230" data-end="1248"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Pros of PEX:</h3>
<ul data-start="1249" data-end="1770">
<li data-start="1249" data-end="1401">
Cost-effective: PEX is typically more affordable than copper, making it a smart choice for homeowners looking to repipe without breaking the bank.
</li>
<li data-start="1402" data-end="1557">
Faster installation: Its flexibility allows for quick and seamless installation, especially in older homes with tight crawl spaces or awkward angles.
</li>
<li data-start="1558" data-end="1667">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-693" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/copper-plumbing-300x300.png" alt="" width="239" height="239" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/copper-plumbing-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/copper-plumbing-150x150.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px" />Corrosion-resistant: PEX doesn’t rust, scale, or corrode like metal, which means fewer future problems.
</li>
<li data-start="1668" data-end="1770">
Quiet operation: PEX absorbs water pressure fluctuations, reducing noisy pipes and water hammer.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="1772" data-end="1791"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/26a0.png" alt="⚠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cons of PEX:</h3>
<ul data-start="1792" data-end="2014">
<li data-start="1792" data-end="1904">
UV sensitivity: PEX cannot be exposed to direct sunlight—it breaks down over time when exposed to UV rays.
</li>
<li data-start="1905" data-end="2014">
Lower heat resistance: While great indoors, it requires insulation for high-temperature or outdoor use.
</li>
</ul>
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we install PEX systems to the highest standards—using best-in-class materials and proper insulation where needed—so Athens homeowners get the maximum benefits with none of the downsides.
<h2 data-start="2246" data-end="2276">What About Copper Repiping?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1166" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/copper-pipes-300x300.png" alt="" width="280" height="280" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/copper-pipes-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/copper-pipes-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/copper-pipes-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/copper-pipes-266x266.png 266w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px" />Copper piping has been the gold standard in plumbing for decades. Known for its strength and longevity, copper is often the go-to choice for homeowners who want a premium, long-term plumbing solution.
<h3 data-start="2484" data-end="2505"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/2705.png" alt="✅" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Pros of Copper:</h3>
<ul data-start="2506" data-end="2898">
<li data-start="2506" data-end="2628">
Extremely durable: Copper pipes can last over 50 years when properly maintained—making them a rock-solid investment.
</li>
<li data-start="2629" data-end="2704">
Heat resistant: Perfect for hot water lines and safe for outdoor use.
</li>
<li data-start="2705" data-end="2818">
Home value boost: Copper piping is considered a premium material and may increase your home’s resale value.
</li>
<li data-start="2819" data-end="2898">
Naturally bacteria-resistant: Helps protect your water quality over time.
</li>
</ul>
<h3 data-start="2900" data-end="2922"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/16.0.1/72x72/26a0.png" alt="⚠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Cons of Copper:</h3>
<ul data-start="2923" data-end="3175">
<li data-start="2923" data-end="2995">
Higher cost: Material and installation costs are steeper than PEX.
</li>
<li data-start="2996" data-end="3095">
Vulnerability to corrosion: In areas with acidic or hard water, copper can degrade over time.
</li>
<li data-start="3096" data-end="3175">
More complex install: Copper is rigid and requires more labor to install.
</li>
</ul>
If durability and long-term ROI are at the top of your list, copper might be your best bet—and Plumber Pro Service & Drains is the company Athens trusts for expert copper repiping.
<h2 data-start="3368" data-end="3421">So… Which One Is Right for Your Athens, GA Home?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3211" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/repipe-athens-plumber-pro-service-drain-206x300.png" alt="" width="284" height="413" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/repipe-athens-plumber-pro-service-drain-206x300.png 206w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/repipe-athens-plumber-pro-service-drain.png 659w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px" />It depends on your priorities:
<ul data-start="3455" data-end="3722">
<li data-start="3455" data-end="3579">
If you’re planning to stay in your home for decades and want a rock-solid system, copper offers unbeatable durability.
</li>
<li data-start="3580" data-end="3722">
If you’re working with a tighter budget or need a fast, efficient install, PEX offers incredible performance with long-term reliability.
</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[When summertime rolls into Athens, Georgia, there’s a certain kind of magic in the air. The grass is greener, the gardens are blooming, and families all over town are spending more time in their yards—watering plants, filling up kiddie pools, washing off patio furniture, and turning on the hose for a quick rinse after mowing the lawn.
But with all that extra activity and outdoor water use, there’s one area of your plumbing system that deserves more attention than it usually gets: your <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/stay-cool-leak-free-essential-summer-plumbing-tips-from-plumber-pro-athens-most-trusted-plumber/">outdoor spigots and hose bibs</a>.
These often-overlooked fixtures work hard throughout the summer, and if they’re damaged, worn, or leaking, you could be wasting hundreds of gallons of water every month – and not even know it.
<h3 data-start="1049" data-end="1103">Why Outdoor Spigots Matter More Than You Think</h3>
Your outdoor spigot (also called a hose bib) is more than just a place to connect your garden hose. It’s a critical access point to your home’s water system. And during the heat of a Georgia summer, it’s often in constant use.
Unfortunately, spigots and hoses are also some of the most frequently overlooked components in a plumbing system. They sit outside, exposed to the elements year-round. Temperature changes, UV rays, hard water, and even physical wear from frequent use can lead to:
<ul data-start="1606" data-end="1822">
<li data-start="1606" data-end="1644">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3191" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/outdoor-spigot-300x232.png" alt="" width="256" height="198" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/outdoor-spigot-300x232.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/outdoor-spigot.png 749w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px" />Worn or cracked rubber washers
</li>
<li data-start="1645" data-end="1679">
Loose or corroded fittings
</li>
<li data-start="1680" data-end="1719">
Minor drips that grow over time
</li>
<li data-start="1720" data-end="1768">
Hidden leaks inside walls or foundations
</li>
<li data-start="1769" data-end="1822">
Mold or mildew forming around siding or brick
</li>
</ul>
And while it might seem like a little leak from a hose connection isn’t a big deal, the numbers add up fast. Just one slow drip can waste over 300 gallons a month—and that doesn’t include any water lost from a leak deeper inside the wall or underground.
<h3 data-start="2092" data-end="2136">What to Look For: Signs of a Problem</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3193" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers-300x300.png" alt="" width="288" height="288" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers-768x769.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/high-water-bill-best-plumbers.png 1079w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px" />Before you hook up that hose and go about your yardwork, take a few minutes to <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/stay-cool-leak-free-essential-summer-plumbing-tips-from-plumber-pro-athens-most-trusted-plumber/">inspect your spigots and hose bibs</a> for any signs of trouble:
<ul data-start="2283" data-end="2629">
<li data-start="2283" data-end="2353">
Do you see water dripping, even when the spigot is turned off?
</li>
<li data-start="2354" data-end="2406">
Is the connection loose, rusty, or corroded?
</li>
<li data-start="2407" data-end="2474">
When you turn it on, does the hose sputter or leak at the base?
</li>
<li data-start="2475" data-end="2555">
Do you hear water running or dripping inside the wall behind the spigot?
</li>
<li data-start="2556" data-end="2629">
Has your water bill jumped unexpectedly, with no other explanation?
</li>
</ul>
If you notice any of these issues, don’t ignore them. What starts as a small leak outside can become a major plumbing issue inside.
<h3 data-start="2773" data-end="2844">Plumber Pro Tip: Use a Pressure Gauge to Check for Hidden Leaks</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3196" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-water-pressure-300x249.png" alt="" width="277" height="230" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-water-pressure-300x249.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-water-pressure.png 647w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px" />If you suspect a leak but can’t see one, there’s a simple test you can perform:
<ol data-start="2929" data-end="3128">
<li data-start="2929" data-end="2984">
Attach a pressure gauge to the outdoor spigot.
</li>
<li data-start="2985" data-end="3035">
Turn the water on fully and note the reading.
</li>
<li data-start="3036" data-end="3089">
Turn the water off and leave the gauge in place.
</li>
<li data-start="3090" data-end="3128">
Watch the needle for a few minutes.
</li>
</ol>
If the pressure drops slowly over time, that could indicate a hidden leak in the line, especially if the spigot is connected to indoor plumbing behind the siding or inside a wall cavity. This is a clear sign that you should call in the professionals.
<h3 data-start="3399" data-end="3463">Why Athens Homeowners Trust Plumber Pro Service & Drains</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3040" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/plumber-pro-best-plumbers-recommended-211x300.png" alt="" width="184" height="261" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/plumber-pro-best-plumbers-recommended-211x300.png 211w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/plumber-pro-best-plumbers-recommended.png 245w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px" />At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we’ve helped countless homeowners in Athens stop small problems before they become major headaches.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[When summer rolls into Athens, Georgia, it brings more than just sunshine and sweet tea. The kids are out of school, grills are firing up every weekend, the sprinklers are running, and the washing machine is working overtime. It’s a time for front porch conversations, backyard BBQs, and road trips to the lake. But with all that seasonal fun comes a surprising amount of wear and tear on your home’s plumbing system.
See, unlike our neighbors up north, we don’t have to worry much about snow or frozen pipes. But that doesn’t mean summer is smooth sailing. High water usage, unexpected heatwaves, ground shifts from sudden storms, and extra guests in the house can put serious pressure on your plumbing. What might start as a slow drain or a small leak can quickly escalate into a bigger, more expensive problem if left unchecked.

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3157" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-300x300.png" alt="" width="277" height="277" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-768x768.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px" />
Summertime in Athens, Georgia is a beautiful thing—lush gardens, green lawns, and lots of time spent outdoors. But all that sunshine and yardwork means you’re likely using more water than usual, especially outside the home. Whether it’s watering the garden, filling a kiddie pool, rinsing off the porch, or keeping your lawn from turning brown, your <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-a-summer-plumbing-essential-for-athens-homeowners/">outdoor spigots and hose bibs</a> are getting a real workout this time of year.
That’s why it’s critical to inspect those fixtures carefully before they become a hidden source of waste. A small crack in a hose bib, a loose connection, or a leaky spigot may not seem like a big deal at first glance—but over time, even the tiniest drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water per month. That’s not just bad for the environment—it can also lead to a sudden spike in your water bill that takes you by surprise.
And it gets worse. Sometimes, the real problem isn’t even visible. A damaged or aging pipe inside the wall or beneath the siding can leak silently for weeks or months, causing moisture damage, mold growth, or even structural issues if left unchecked.
Plumber Pro Tip: One easy way to check for hidden leaks is to attach a pressure gauge to your spigot and turn on the water. Once you shut it off, watch the needle closely. If the pressure doesn’t stay steady—or slowly drops—you could have a leak inside the plumbing system. That’s your cue to bring in the professionals.
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we’ve helped homeowners across the Athens region stop minor leaks before they became major headaches. Our skilled technicians use professional-grade tools and diagnostics to detect hidden issues quickly and accurately. Whether it’s <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/check-your-outdoor-spigots-and-hoses-a-summer-plumbing-essential-for-athens-homeowners/">replacing a faulty spigot</a>, sealing connections, or tracking down a pipe leak behind the wall, we’ll take care of it the right way—the first time.
So before you drag out the hose this summer, take a moment to check for signs of trouble. A few minutes of inspection now can save you from costly repairs and water bills down the road.
And if something doesn’t seem right? Don’t guess. Call the <a href="https://bestplumbers.com/georgia/athens/plumbing-services/plumber-pro-service-drain">Best Plumber in Athens</a> – Plumber Pro Service & Drains. We’ll keep your outdoor water flowing strong and steady, so you can enjoy your summer without worry.
<h3 data-start="1571" data-end="1629">2. Watch Out for Slab Leaks and Sewer Line Trouble</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3169" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/slab-leak-repair-2-271x300.png" alt="" width="275" height="305" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/slab-leak-repair-2-271x300.png 271w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/slab-leak-repair-2.png 285w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px" />Summers in Athens, Georgia may not bring frozen pipes, but they do bring rain-soaked soil, rising temperatures, and a whole lot of ground movement beneath your home. What many homeowners don’t realize is that warm, saturated soil, combined with Georgia’s notorious red clay, can slowly shift the earth beneath your foundation. And while it might seem like nothing on the surface, below ground it can spell trouble.
This shifting soil puts pressure on your plumbing system, especially if you live in an older home with cast iron or clay sewer pipes. Over time, these materials, though durable, can become brittle and susceptible to cracks, joint separations, or collapses. The result? You could be facing a hidden slab leak or a cracked sewer line right underneath your floors or yard.
These problems are notorious for going unnoticed until the damage is done. Some signs to watch out for include:
<ul data-start="1127" data-end="1474">
<li data-start="1127" data-end="1194">
Musty smells or damp odors, especially near walls or floors
</li>
<li data-start="1195" data-end="1255">
Soggy, soft, or unusually green patches in your yard
</li>
<li data-start="1256" data-end="1323">
A sudden spike in your water bill with no clear explanation
</li>
<li data-start="1324" data-end="1397">
The sound of water running, even when all taps and appliances are off
</li>
<li data-start="1398" data-end="1474">
Warped flooring, unexplained moisture, or even cracks in your foundation
</li>
</ul>
Any one of these symptoms could be a red flag—and ignoring them can lead to extensive, costly damage to your home’s foundation, flooring, and structure.
That’s where Plumber Pro Service & Drains comes in. We specialize in advanced leak detection and sewer diagnostics using non-invasive technology—so we don’t have to tear up your floors or landscape just to find the problem.

And when it’s time to fix the problem, we handle it with precision, care, and minimal disruption to your home. Whether it’s a small underground leak or a major sewer line issue, we’ve got the tools, the talent, and the commitment to get it done right.

<h3 data-start="2206" data-end="2249">3. Be Kind to Your Garbage Disposal</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3171" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal-209x300.png" alt="" width="240" height="344" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal-209x300.png 209w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/be-kind-to-your-garbage-disposal.png 646w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" />Summertime in Athens, Georgia means sunshine, sweet tea, and plenty of backyard gatherings, from grilled burgers and corn on the cob to watermelon slices and pulled pork sandwiches. But while your guests may leave full and happy, your kitchen garbage disposal might be left holding the bag, literally.
This time of year, your disposal is working overtime to keep up with the increased food prep and cleanup that comes with cookouts, BBQs, and family reunions. And while it might be tempting to toss everything down the drain, your disposal isn’t built to handle just anything.
Items like corn husks, melon rinds, poultry bones, greasy leftovers, coffee grounds, egg shells, and fibrous vegetable peels (like celery or onion skins) can do serious harm to your plumbing. These things can jam the blades, clog the pipes, or cause your motor to burn out prematurely. Not to mention, that greasy stuff? It cools, hardens, and sticks to the inside of your pipes, leading to slow drains, foul smells, and eventual blockages.
That’s why it pays to be a little extra gentle and mindful with your disposal.
Plumber Pro Tip: Always run a steady stream of cold water before, during, and after using your disposal. Cold water helps grease stay solid so it can be chopped up and flushed away, rather than sticking inside your pipes. And when in doubt, throw it in the trash or compost bin instead. Your disposal is designed to handle small, soft, food scraps—not an entire plate of leftovers or heavy, dense waste.
If you notice your disposal humming but not grinding, draining slowly, or emitting a strange odor, don’t try to fix it with harsh chemicals or reach inside with your hand. Give the pros a call.
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we handle garbage disposal issues safely and efficiently. Whether it’s a jammed unit, a faulty switch, or a deeper drainage problem, we’ll get your kitchen back in working order in no time. We’re proud to be <a href="https://plumberproservice.com">Athens’ most trusted plumbing team</a>, and we’re always just a phone call away.
So treat your disposal with kindness, and it’ll serve you well for summers to come. And when you need help? Call Plumber Pro Service & Drains – <a href="https://bestplumbers.com/georgia/athens/plumbing-services/plumber-pro-service-drain">The Best Plumber in Athens</a>. We’re here to help you keep your kitchen running clean and clear, season after season.
<h3 data-start="2783" data-end="2817">4. Flush Your Water Heater</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3158" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flush-your-water-heater-300x300.png" alt="" width="258" height="258" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flush-your-water-heater-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flush-your-water-heater-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flush-your-water-heater-768x768.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flush-your-water-heater.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px" />
Most folks in Athens, Georgia associate their water heater with cold winter mornings, long hot showers, and cozy comfort during chilly nights. But summer, when your water heater isn’t working as hard, is actually the perfect time to give it a little TLC, especially if you want it to keep running strong when the temperatures drop again.
Over time, sediment from hard water builds up at the bottom of your water heater tank. This sediment, made up of minerals like calcium and magnesium, settles into a thick layer that can cause all kinds of problems. It acts like an insulator between the burner and the water, which means your heater has to work harder and longer to do its job. That leads to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and wear and tear on the unit’s internal components.
Left unchecked, this build-up can cause your water heater to rust from the inside out, create strange rumbling or popping noises, and eventually lead to premature failure. In fact, sediment is one of the most common reasons why water heaters don’t make it to their full expected lifespan.
That’s why summer is the ideal time to flush your water heater. When the system isn’t under peak demand, we can safely drain the tank, remove sediment, and ensure all components are working properly—before the cooler months return and your household’s hot water needs ramp up again.
Plumber Pro Tip: Even tankless water heaters benefit from regular maintenance. Though they don’t store water like traditional units, they can still suffer from scale build-up inside the heating elements, which reduces efficiency and shortens the unit’s life. Annual flushing and cleaning help prevent costly repairs and maintain peak performance.
Whether you have a standard tank water heater or a high-efficiency tankless model, the expert team at Plumber Pro Service & Drains is equipped with the know-how and tools to perform professional water heater maintenance the right way. We’ll inspect the anode rod, test the pressure relief valve, flush the tank, and double-check your system’s connections and temperature settings, ensuring your water heater is clean, efficient, and ready to serve you for years to come.
Don’t wait until your shower runs cold or your tank fails unexpectedly. Take advantage of the slower summer pace and give your water heater the care it deserves.
Call Plumber Pro Service & Drains today, the most trusted name in Athens plumbing, and let us help you protect your investment, your comfort, and your peace of mind.
<h3 data-start="3292" data-end="3332">5. Inspect Washing Machine Hoses</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3176" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/inspect-washing-machine-hoses-300x202.png" alt="" width="347" height="234" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/inspect-washing-machine-hoses-300x202.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/inspect-washing-machine-hoses-1024x690.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/inspect-washing-machine-hoses-768x517.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/inspect-washing-machine-hoses.png 1568w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px" />Summer in Athens, Georgia is a season full of life—kids running through sprinklers, lawn mowing in the heat, trips to the lake, sweaty workouts, gardening sessions, and backyard cookouts. But all that summer fun creates a mountain of laundry. From wet pool towels and grass-stained clothes to dirty socks and sweaty t-shirts, your washing machine is working overtime.
And while your washing machine might be up for the challenge, the real danger lies behind the machine, where your washer hoses are quietly doing their job—until they fail.
Old, rubber washing machine hoses are one of the most overlooked hazards in the home. As they age, they dry out, crack, and weaken, especially in hot or humid conditions. If one of those hoses bursts while you’re away from home—or even while you’re asleep—you could return to a disaster: a flooded laundry room, ruined flooring, soaked drywall, and thousands of dollars in water damage.
It happens more often than people realize. In fact, washing machine hose failures are among the top five causes of household water damage claims nationwide.
Plumber Pro Tip: Take a peek behind your washing machine. If your hoses are rubber, bulging, kinked, or more than five years old, it’s time to replace them—before they fail. We recommend stainless steel braided hoses for long-lasting durability and peace of mind. These reinforced hoses are more resistant to cracks, pressure changes, and extreme temperatures, making them the ideal choice for year-round reliability.
Better yet, let the experts at Plumber Pro Service & Drains handle it for you. Our team offers preventative plumbing inspections that include checking your washer hoses, valves, and connections. We’ll assess their condition, upgrade them if needed, and make sure your laundry setup is leak-proof and flood-resistant.
It’s a small investment that could save you thousands and spare you the nightmare of walking into a laundry room under water.
So before you start your next load of grass-stained jeans or beach towels, give your washing machine hoses the attention they deserve. Or give Plumber Pro Service & Drains, the Best Plumber in Athens, a quick call. We’ll make sure your home is protected—so you can focus on making summer memories, not mopping up messes.
<h3 data-start="3866" data-end="3901">6. Don’t Ignore Slow Drains</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3165" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains-300x274.png" alt="" width="312" height="285" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains-300x274.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/dont-ignore-slow-drains.png 714w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px" />During the hot and humid summer months here in Athens, Georgia, it’s not just your air conditioning that’s working overtime, your drains are too. And when the temperature climbs, any unpleasant odors trapped inside your plumbing system can intensify, especially if you’ve got a partially clogged kitchen or bathroom sink.
That slow-draining sink that you’ve been meaning to deal with? It’s more than just a nuisance. It’s a red flag. What starts as a minor delay in drainage can quickly turn into a full-blown blockage, especially when increased summer cooking, backyard BBQs, and extra guests in the home put more pressure on your plumbing system. Left untreated, these clogs can cause nasty backups, overflows, and even pipe damage that requires costly repairs.
And while it’s tempting to grab a bottle of store-bought drain cleaner from the hardware aisle, most people don’t realize that those chemical-heavy formulas can corrode your pipes over time, especially in older plumbing systems. Instead of clearing the clog, they often push it deeper or only dissolve part of the blockage, leaving you with a temporary fix—and a bigger problem later on.
That’s why it’s smart to call in the pros. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we offer professional drain cleaning services that are safe, effective, and long-lasting. Using state-of-the-art equipment like video inspection cameras and hydro-jetting machines, we can identify the source of the problem and blast away years of grease, grime, soap scum, and mineral buildup without damaging your pipes.
Whether it’s your kitchen sink, bathtub, shower drain, or laundry line, our expert team will get your water flowing freely again—and leave your home smelling fresher and cleaner in the process.
So if you’ve noticed even the slightest slowdown in your drains, don’t wait. Call the <a href="https://bestplumbers.com/georgia/athens/plumbing-services/plumber-pro-service-drain">Best Plumber in Athens</a>—Plumber Pro Service & Drains—before a small problem becomes a summer headache. Let us handle the dirty work, so you can focus on enjoying your home this season, worry-free.
<h3 data-start="4385" data-end="4421">7. Check Your Water Pressure</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3159" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-water-pressure-best-plumbers-300x200.png" alt="" width="272" height="181" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-water-pressure-best-plumbers-300x200.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-water-pressure-best-plumbers-1024x683.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-water-pressure-best-plumbers-768x512.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/check-your-water-pressure-best-plumbers.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px" />
Summer is a season of connection here in Athens, Georgia. The kids are home from school, relatives come in for weekend visits, and your house starts seeing more activity—from morning showers and evening baths to dishes piling up and sprinklers running overtime. And with all that extra use, you might start to notice something subtle but important: a drop in your water pressure.
Now, a slight dip in pressure might not seem like a big deal at first. Maybe the shower isn’t as powerful as usual. Maybe the kitchen faucet takes a little longer to fill the sink. But those little signs could be pointing to a much bigger issue lurking behind the walls.
Sometimes, the culprit is something minor—like a clogged aerator at the tip of the faucet, which can get gunked up with mineral deposits from hard water. That’s a simple fix. But inconsistent water pressure throughout the home, especially when it varies from room to room, can indicate a hidden leak in your main water supply line, corroded pipes, or failing pressure regulators. These issues, if left unaddressed, can spiral into major water damage, mold problems, or even complete line failure.
Plumber Pro Tip: If you notice changes in water pressure—or worse, if the pressure fluctuates randomly or drops suddenly—don’t brush it off. It’s not just about convenience. It’s your plumbing system’s way of telling you something’s wrong. And the longer you wait, the more complicated (and expensive) the fix may become.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it out on your own. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, our licensed professionals specialize in water pressure diagnostics. We can quickly determine whether it’s a simple issue at the fixture or a symptom of a larger problem in the line. Using advanced tools and pressure testing equipment, we pinpoint the issue fast—and we fix it right.
Whether it’s clearing blocked aerators, repairing hidden leaks, or replacing outdated piping, we’ll restore your water pressure and your peace of mind.
So if your shower’s not what it used to be—or your sink’s turned into a slow trickle—call the Best Plumber in Athens, Georgia. Let Plumber Pro Service & Drains keep your water flowing strong, clear, and steady all summer long.
<h3 data-start="4950" data-end="4987">8. Mind Your Sprinkler System</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3160" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mind-your-sprinkler-system-300x300.png" alt="" width="242" height="242" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mind-your-sprinkler-system-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mind-your-sprinkler-system-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mind-your-sprinkler-system-768x768.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mind-your-sprinkler-system.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px" />If your property uses a sprinkler system, summer is the perfect time to give it a thorough inspection. After sitting idle through the cooler months, sprinkler heads can easily become cracked, clogged, or misaligned, especially after mowing the lawn or kids and pets playing in the yard. A tiny fracture in a sprinkler head or an underground leak in a lateral line might seem harmless at first, but it can lead to hundreds of gallons of wasted water every week, and worse, you often won’t notice until your utility bill skyrockets or your lawn starts showing soggy spots and uneven patches.
That’s where Plumber Pro Service & Drains comes in. Our team can help uncover those hidden problems that homeowners often miss. Whether it’s replacing worn-out sprinkler heads, adjusting spray patterns for even coverage, or tracking down a slow, silent leak beneath the surface, we’ve got the tools and experience to keep your irrigation system running efficiently. With our help, your lawn can stay lush and green all summer long, without draining your wallet or wasting precious water. Let the <a href="https://bestplumbers.com/georgia/athens/plumbing-services/plumber-pro-service-drain">Best Plumber in Athens</a> make sure your sprinkler system is as smart and dependable as you are. Give us a call today and let’s protect your yard, your budget, and your peace of mind.
<h3 data-start="5373" data-end="5428">9. Know Where Your Main Water Shut-Off Valve Is</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3161" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve-220x300.png" alt="" width="217" height="296" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve-220x300.png 220w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/water-shut-off-valve.png 596w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px" />This tip isn’t just a seasonal summer reminder—it’s one of the most important things any homeowner in Athens, Georgia can know. And yet, surprisingly, many people have no idea where their main water shut-off valve is located until it’s far too late.
Imagine this: a pipe bursts in the middle of the night. Maybe it’s in your kitchen wall, or under your bathroom sink, or worse—in a slab beneath your home. Water starts flooding in, soaking drywall, flooring, furniture, and anything in its path. Every passing second counts. If you don’t know where the shut-off valve is—or how to operate it—you could be facing tens of thousands of dollars in water damage within minutes. Insurance might cover some of it, but the disruption to your home, your routine, and your peace of mind is a price no one wants to pay.
Now imagine the same scenario—but this time, you know exactly where the shut-off is. You calmly walk over, turn the valve, and the water stops flowing. No panic. No chaos. No major disaster.
That’s the difference a little knowledge can make.
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we believe education is part of good service. During any routine plumbing inspection, service call, or home walk-through, just ask—and we’ll gladly show you where your shut-off valve is, how it works, and what to do in an emergency. If you’ve got an older home, or if the valve is hard to reach, damaged, or stuck, we can repair or upgrade it to ensure it’s easy to operate and reliable when it matters most.
Don’t wait until you’re ankle-deep in water with no idea what to do. Take this one simple step and gain the confidence that comes with being prepared. Let Plumber Pro Service & Drains, the most trusted name in Athens plumbing, help you safeguard your home before disaster ever strikes.

The best way to avoid plumbing disasters, costly repairs, or water damage headaches? Stop them before they start.
That’s exactly what a summer plumbing tune-up from Plumber Pro Service & Drains is designed to do. It’s a proactive, top-to-bottom inspection of your home’s plumbing system—giving you the peace of mind that everything is running smoothly during one of the busiest times of year for water usage.
Our expert technicians will thoroughly check your home’s fixtures, faucets, toilets, and shut-off valves to ensure everything is functioning properly and efficiently. We’ll inspect for slow leaks you might not even notice—like under sinks, around water heaters, or near your outdoor spigots. We’ll examine exposed and accessible piping, making sure there are no signs of corrosion, bulging, or other early warning signs of failure.
We’ll also test water pressure, inspect drains for signs of clogs or buildup, make sure your sump pump or sewer lines are in good shape, and evaluate your water heater’s performance. If needed, we’ll flush the unit to remove sediment and help extend its lifespan.
Catching small issues now—like a tiny leak, a loose connection, or a clogged aerator—can save you from major, expensive plumbing emergencies down the road. These tune-ups are quick, affordable, and incredibly effective, especially during the hot Athens summer months when your plumbing system is working harder than usual.
So why wait until something breaks? Let Plumber Pro Service & Drains, the most trusted name in plumbing across Athens, Georgia, give your home a clean bill of health. You’ll enjoy your summer worry-free, knowing your plumbing is in the best shape it’s ever been.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[As the sun rises over Athens, Georgia this Memorial Day, flags wave gently in the breeze, families gather around picnic tables, and a quiet reverence settles over our community. It’s a day for remembrance. A day for gratitude. A day when we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, Memorial Day holds a deep significance. As a locally owned and operated plumbing company rooted right here in Athens, we understand that freedom isn’t free. The liberties we enjoy, raising our families, building our businesses, and serving our neighbors—were secured by the courage and sacrifice of others. This weekend, we bow our heads in remembrance of the fallen, and we stand tall in our commitment to serve our community with integrity, dedication, and heart.
<h3 data-start="940" data-end="976">Honoring Service Through Our Own</h3>
While we don’t wear military uniforms, the team at Plumber Pro Service & Drains takes pride in serving our community by providing the <a href="https://plumberproservice.com">highest quality plumbing service</a> and with the same sense of purpose and responsibility that our nation’s heroes showed on the battlefield. Whether it’s responding to a flooded basement at 3 a.m. or replacing a broken water heater for a family in need, we understand that being there when it matters most is what real service looks like.
Plumbing emergencies don’t take holidays, and neither do we. While others may be enjoying their backyard barbecues this Memorial Day, we’re on call—ready to respond to the people of Athens, day or night. It’s our way of giving back. It’s our way of honoring those who gave everything.
<h3 data-start="1699" data-end="1734">A Legacy of Honor and Hard Work</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3149" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/piper.png" alt="" width="132" height="204" />Sam Ivey, our founder and a proud Georgia Master Plumber, built this company on principles that mirror the values we celebrate on Memorial Day, commitment, honor, duty, and service. Those same values guide every member of our team as we go into homes, schools, and businesses across Athens, solving problems, restoring comfort, and protecting the health and safety of the families who live here.
Memorial Day is about legacy, and at Plumber Pro, we believe in leaving a legacy of excellence in every pipe we fix, every leak we stop, and every neighbor we help.
<h3 data-start="2314" data-end="2345">A Thank You, From All of Us</h3>
To the families of the fallen: we see you, we honor you, and we thank you. Your sacrifice is felt in every moment of freedom we enjoy. Your strength inspires us to do our work with care and compassion. Your loved ones will never be forgotten.
And to our Athens neighbors: thank you for letting us serve you. Whether we’re clearing a clogged drain or responding to an emergency at midnight, we’re honored to be your trusted plumbing professionals, and we’re here when you need us most.
<h3 data-start="2846" data-end="2884">This Memorial Day, Let Us Remember</h3>
As you fire up the grill, plant flags by the roadside, or simply sit in quiet reflection, we invite you to take a moment with us to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. Let’s honor the fallen not just with words, but with lives of purpose, community, and service.
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we believe that every act of service, no matter how big or small, is a way to say thank you. And it’s in that spirit that we continue to serve Athens, Georgia, every day of the year.
In memory of the fallen, and in service to the living, Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Plumber Pro.The post <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/memorial-day-reflections-from-plumber-pro-service-drains-honoring-heroes-serving-with-purpose/">Memorial Day Reflections from Plumber Pro Service & Drains: Honoring Heroes, Serving with Purpose</a> first appeared on <a href="https://plumberproservice.com">Plumber Pro Service & Drain</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[When it comes to sewer repair, homeowners in Athens, Georgia, often face a difficult decision: should they opt for trenchless sewer repair or traditional excavation methods? Both methods serve the same purpose – <a href="https://plumberproservice.com/top-10-signs-you-have-a-sewer-issue-why-you-should-call-plumber-pro-service-drains-in-athens-ga/">fixing damaged sewer lines</a> – but the approach, cost, and overall disruption to your property can vary significantly. Understanding the differences, pros, and cons of trenchless and traditional sewer repair can help you make a more informed decision when it’s time to address your sewer issues.
Plumber Pro Service & Drains is here to provide you with an in-depth comparison between the two, highlighting the benefits of each method, as well as the reasons why trenchless sewer repair might be the ideal solution for your home.
<h3 data-start="829" data-end="866">What is Traditional Sewer Repair?</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-44" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sewerli-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="246" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sewerli-300x300.jpg 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sewerli-150x150.jpg 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sewerli-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/sewerli.jpg 365w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px" />Traditional sewer repair involves digging up the ground to access the damaged sewer line. This method is the most commonly used approach to fix sewer lines, and it requires a significant amount of digging, often involving large trenches that run across your yard. The sewer line is exposed, repaired, and replaced if necessary, and the trench is filled in once the job is complete.
<h4 data-start="1251" data-end="1289">Pros of Traditional Sewer Repair:</h4>
<ol data-start="1291" data-end="1990">
<li data-start="1291" data-end="1516">
Effective for Severe Damage: Traditional methods are ideal for situations where the sewer line is severely damaged or collapsed. This method allows plumbers to fully inspect the damaged pipe and make extensive repairs.
</li>
<li data-start="1518" data-end="1760">
Permanent Solution: If your sewer line is completely broken or deteriorated, traditional sewer repair offers a long-lasting fix. Once the trench is filled in and the pipe is replaced, the system should function properly for many years.
</li>
<li data-start="1762" data-end="1990">
Simplicity: Traditional sewer repair is a straightforward process that’s been used for decades. It’s often the go-to method for many plumbing companies, ensuring that repairs can be completed in a reliable and proven way.
</li>
</ol>
<h4 data-start="1992" data-end="2030">Cons of Traditional Sewer Repair:</h4>
<ol data-start="2032" data-end="2995">
<li data-start="2032" data-end="2389">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-1542" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sewerline-repair-300x247.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="197" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sewerline-repair-300x247.jpg 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sewerline-repair.jpg 486w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" />Destruction to Landscaping: One of the biggest downsides of traditional sewer repair is the destruction of landscaping. With extensive digging required, your yard, driveway, and any other surface will likely be damaged. This can mean costly repairs to your landscape, including replanting, reseeding grass, or even repaving sections of your driveway.
</li>
<li data-start="2391" data-end="2663">
Longer Repair Time: Traditional sewer repair usually takes several days to complete. The excavation process alone can take hours, and the repair itself can be quite time-consuming. The time required also means that your home may be disrupted for an extended period.
</li>
<li data-start="2665" data-end="2995">
Higher Costs: Because traditional sewer repair is more labor-intensive, it often comes with a higher price tag. You’ll be paying for both the labor involved in digging and filling the trench, as well as any materials needed for the repair. In some cases, the costs of landscaping restoration can push the price even higher.
</li>
</ol>
<h3 data-start="2997" data-end="3033">What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3130" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-sewer-line-repair-image-300x223.png" alt="" width="211" height="157" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-sewer-line-repair-image-300x223.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-sewer-line-repair-image-768x570.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-sewer-line-repair-image.png 917w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px" />Trenchless sewer repair, on the other hand, is a newer, less invasive method that requires minimal digging. Instead of excavating a trench to access the sewer line, plumbers use advanced equipment to repair or replace pipes from the surface. This method generally involves one of two techniques: pipe bursting or pipe lining.
<ul data-start="3362" data-end="3720">
<li data-start="3362" data-end="3534">
Pipe Bursting: Involves pulling a new pipe through the old one while breaking the old pipe apart. The new pipe is installed without the need for digging up your yard.
</li>
<li data-start="3538" data-end="3720">
Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining: This method involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the existing pipe and then curing it to form a new, durable pipe inside the old one.
</li>
</ul>
<h4 data-start="3722" data-end="3759">Pros of Trenchless Sewer Repair:</h4>
<ol data-start="3761" data-end="4865">
<li data-start="3761" data-end="4047">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3129" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-3-300x176.png" alt="" width="216" height="127" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-3-300x176.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-3-1024x602.png 1024w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-3-768x451.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/trenchless-3.png 1389w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px" />Minimal Disruption to Property: One of the major advantages of trenchless sewer repair is that it causes little to no disruption to your yard, landscaping, driveway, or other surfaces. With only a small access hole required for the equipment, your property remains mostly intact.
</li>
<li data-start="4049" data-end="4297">
Faster Turnaround Time: Since trenchless methods don’t require extensive digging, repairs can be completed much faster than traditional methods. Often, the job can be done in a single day, minimizing any inconvenience to you and your family.
</li>
<li data-start="4299" data-end="4606">
Cost-Effective in the Long Run: While trenchless sewer repair may come with a higher upfront cost, it can be more cost-effective in the long run. The reduced labor and restoration costs make it a great investment if you want to avoid expensive landscaping repairs and the hassle of extensive digging.
</li>
<li data-start="4608" data-end="4865">
Environmentally Friendly: Trenchless sewer repair is a more environmentally friendly option because it causes less damage to the surrounding landscape. It also uses fewer materials compared to traditional methods, making it a more sustainable choice.
</li>
</ol>
<h4 data-start="4867" data-end="4904">Cons of Trenchless Sewer Repair:</h4>
<ol data-start="4906" data-end="5737">
<li data-start="4906" data-end="5234">
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3131" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pros-and-cons-300x144.png" alt="" width="163" height="78" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pros-and-cons-300x144.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pros-and-cons.png 645w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px" />Limited to Certain Issues: Trenchless sewer repair isn’t always suitable for every plumbing issue. For instance, if the sewer pipe is severely damaged or collapsed, trenchless methods may not be as effective as traditional excavation. In these cases, a full replacement through traditional digging may still be necessary.
</li>
<li data-start="5236" data-end="5499">
Upfront Costs: The technology involved in trenchless repair methods can make the upfront costs higher than traditional sewer repair. However, as mentioned earlier, this can often be offset by the savings in landscaping restoration and shorter repair times.
</li>
<li data-start="5501" data-end="5737">
Not All Plumbers Offer It: Not every plumbing company is equipped to handle trenchless sewer repairs. Finding a reputable plumber who has the necessary experience and equipment for trenchless methods can sometimes be a challenge.
</li>
</ol>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[As a homeowner or business owner, it’s easy to take your plumbing system for granted—until something goes wrong. One crucial yet often overlooked part of your plumbing system is the sewer line. The sewer line is responsible for carrying wastewater away from your home or business to the city’s sewer system or a septic tank. If your sewer line has an issue, it can lead to costly repairs, inconvenience, and serious damage to your property. If you’re in the Athens, Georgia area, Plumber Pro Service & Drains is here to help you identify sewer issues before they become a bigger problem.
<h3 data-start="711" data-end="735">1. Slow Drains</h3>
If you’ve noticed that your sinks, tubs, or showers are draining slower than usual, it could be a sign of a sewer issue. A clogged sewer line can cause waste and water to back up, leading to slow drainage throughout your home. Plumber Pro Service & Drains has the tools and expertise to inspect your sewer line and clear any blockages before they escalate into a bigger problem.
<h3 data-start="1120" data-end="1148">2. Gurgling Noises</h3>
Hearing gurgling sounds coming from your drains, especially when you flush your toilet or use your sink, is a clear sign of an obstruction in your sewer line. This happens when air gets trapped in the pipes due to a blockage. If you’re hearing these noises, it’s important to call Plumber Pro Service & Drains right away. We can provide fast, professional solutions to ensure your plumbing system is functioning properly.
<h3 data-start="1576" data-end="1599">3. Bad Smells</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3118" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/plumbing-smells-300x263.png" alt="" width="220" height="193" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/plumbing-smells-300x263.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/plumbing-smells.png 595w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px" />If you notice unpleasant, sewage-like odors coming from your drains, it could indicate a blockage in your sewer line. Wastewater sitting in your drains or pipes can produce a foul smell, which can quickly spread throughout your home. Plumber Pro Service & Drains is here to resolve the issue and restore a fresh, clean environment in your home.
<h3 data-start="1950" data-end="1994">4. Water Backing Up into Your Home</h3>
One of the most serious signs of a sewer issue is water backing up into your home. If wastewater is spilling out of your toilet, shower, or sinks, it’s a sign that your sewer line is blocked. This issue requires immediate attention to prevent further damage. Plumber Pro Service & Drains offers 24/7 emergency plumbing services to clear blockages and prevent water from flooding your home or business.
<h3 data-start="2402" data-end="2436"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3120" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flooding-in-yard-broken-sewer-line-188x300.png" alt="" width="166" height="265" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flooding-in-yard-broken-sewer-line-188x300.png 188w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flooding-in-yard-broken-sewer-line.png 403w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px" />5. Flooding in Your Yard</h3>
Flooding in your yard can be a sign of a blockage in your sewer line. If you notice pooling water or wet areas around your yard, it could be due to a backed-up sewer line. This can also cause long-term damage to your landscaping. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we can inspect your sewer system and prevent future flooding with our reliable plumbing solutions.
<h3 data-start="2804" data-end="2839">6. Sinkholes in Your Yard</h3>
If you see sinkholes forming in your yard, it’s a sign that your sewer line may have collapsed. This is a more serious issue that requires professional attention. Sinkholes can cause extensive damage to your landscaping and even the foundation of your home. Trust Plumber Pro Service & Drains to assess your sewer line and provide a solution that will prevent further damage.
<h3 data-start="3221" data-end="3259">7. Cracks in Your Foundation</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3121" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/cracks-in-foundation-broken-sewer-line-300x241.png" alt="" width="217" height="174" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/cracks-in-foundation-broken-sewer-line-300x241.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/cracks-in-foundation-broken-sewer-line.png 729w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px" />Cracks in your foundation can indicate a leaking or damaged sewer line. The pressure from a broken sewer line can cause your foundation to shift, leading to visible cracks. Plumber Pro Service & Drains can perform a comprehensive inspection of your sewer system to identify leaks and repair the problem before it threatens your home’s structural integrity.
<h3 data-start="3622" data-end="3658">8. Your Toilet Won’t Flush</h3>
If your toilet won’t flush properly, or if it takes multiple attempts, it could indicate a blockage in your sewer line. A clog in the sewer line can prevent water from flowing through the pipes, resulting in a toilet that won’t flush. Plumber Pro Service & Drains can quickly diagnose the issue and restore your plumbing to full functionality.
<h3 data-start="4008" data-end="4047"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3122" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/toilet-is-overflowing-300x253.png" alt="" width="219" height="185" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/toilet-is-overflowing-300x253.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/toilet-is-overflowing.png 551w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px" />9. Your Toilet is Overflowing</h3>
An overflowing toilet is one of the most obvious signs of a sewer issue. When the water backs up, it’s a clear indicator that your sewer line is clogged. This situation can lead to water damage and costly cleanup. Call Plumber Pro Service & Drains immediately to resolve the blockage and prevent any further water damage in your bathroom.
<h3 data-start="4392" data-end="4433">10. You See Sewage in Your Home</h3>
Perhaps the most alarming sign of a sewer problem is seeing sewage in your home. If raw sewage begins to leak into your home, it’s a serious emergency that requires immediate attention. The sewer line is likely completely blocked, and untreated wastewater is backing up into your home. Plumber Pro Service & Drains offers fast, professional emergency services to resolve this issue and restore cleanliness and safety to your living space.
