<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you’re thinking about repiping your home in Athens, Georgia, you’re taking a proactive step toward protecting your home’s value, improving your water quality, and avoiding costly leaks and water damage down the road. But here’s the big question: Should you repipe with PEX or copper?
At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we’ve helped hundreds of Athens-area homeowners navigate this important decision. Our team of licensed plumbing experts, backed by years of hands-on experience and glowing customer reviews, is proud to be the recommended plumber for Athens by <a class="" style="color: #000000;" href="https://bestplumbers.com" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="1159" data-end="1200">Best Plumbers</a>—the most trusted plumbing directory on the Internet. When it comes to repiping, we don’t just install pipes—we provide trusted guidance, reliable craftsmanship, and lasting peace of mind.
<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/15.1.0/72x72/2705.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 fetchpriority="high" 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="(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/15.1.0/72x72/26a0.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 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="(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/15.1.0/72x72/2705.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/15.1.0/72x72/26a0.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 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="(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.
That’s where we come in.

So, before a small issue turns into a costly summer surprise, take a few minutes to read through our top summer plumbing tips. And if you ever need a hand, just give us a call. At Plumber Pro, we’re always ready—because plumbing might be our trade, but people are our passion.
Let’s dive into it.
<h3 data-start="975" data-end="1022">1. Check Your Outdoor Spigots and Hoses</h3>
<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. With tools like acoustic listening devices, infrared cameras, and pipe inspection cameras, we can pinpoint the exact location of the issue, saving you time, money, and stress.
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.
So if you suspect something might be happening beneath your home, don’t wait. Call the Best Plumber in Athens, Georgia—Plumber Pro Service & Drains—and let us protect what matters most. Because peace of mind should never be underground.
<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-1536x1034.png 1536w, 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.

<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.
<h3 data-start="5781" data-end="5827">10. Schedule a Summer Plumbing Tune-Up</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3163" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/schedule-a-summer-plumbing-tune-up-300x300.png" alt="" width="275" height="275" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/schedule-a-summer-plumbing-tune-up-300x300.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/schedule-a-summer-plumbing-tune-up-150x150.png 150w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/schedule-a-summer-plumbing-tune-up-768x768.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/schedule-a-summer-plumbing-tune-up.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px" />When it comes to plumbing, the old saying rings true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 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 & Drains</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.

<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.
<h3 data-start="4878" data-end="4937">Why Call Plumber Pro Service & Drains for Sewer Issues?</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="262" 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" />If you’re experiencing any of the signs mentioned above, don’t wait for the problem to get worse.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Plumbing issues can disrupt your life, but many problems can be avoided with just a little care. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we’ve seen it all. Serving the Athens, Georgia area for years, we know exactly how to help homeowners avoid these common plumbing mistakes. By following these simple tips, you can prevent costly damage and keep your plumbing system running smoothly.
<h4 data-start="466" data-end="511">1. Pouring Grease Down the Kitchen Drain</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3095" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-grease-down-drain-300x202.png" alt="" width="216" height="145" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-grease-down-drain-300x202.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-grease-down-drain.png 485w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px" />A common mistake that can lead to serious clogs is pouring grease, especially bacon grease, down the kitchen drain. When grease cools, it solidifies, creating a buildup that can block your pipes. To avoid this, dispose of grease in a container and throw it away in the trash. If you’re already experiencing a grease clog, Plumber Pro Service & Drains is here to help with professional drain cleaning.
<h4 data-start="918" data-end="971">2. Putting Non-Food Items Down the Kitchen Drain</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3096" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/potato-peels-down-drain-300x198.png" alt="" width="223" height="147" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/potato-peels-down-drain-300x198.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/potato-peels-down-drain.png 495w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px" />Many homeowners mistakenly treat their garbage disposal like an incinerator, tossing in potato peels, rice, pasta, and fibrous foods like asparagus. Unfortunately, these materials don’t break down properly and can easily clog your pipes. Plumber Pro Service & Drains offers expert drain cleaning to clear any stubborn blockages. Avoid using your disposal for anything that doesn’t belong to keep your plumbing in top shape.
<h4 data-start="1401" data-end="1470">3. Cutting, Nailing, or Screwing into Walls with Hidden Plumbing</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3097" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/screwing-into-walls-with-hidden-plumbing-300x264.png" alt="" width="192" height="169" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/screwing-into-walls-with-hidden-plumbing-300x264.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/screwing-into-walls-with-hidden-plumbing.png 474w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px" />One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is damaging plumbing by driving nails, screws, or even cutting into walls where hidden pipes may be located. Always take the time to check for plumbing behind your walls before making any alterations. If you’re unsure where your pipes are or how to check, call the experts at Plumber Pro Service & Drains for professional assistance.
<h4 data-start="1854" data-end="1890">4. Using Too Much Drain Cleaner</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3098" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-too-much-drain-cleaner-300x223.png" alt="" width="210" height="156" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-too-much-drain-cleaner-300x223.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-too-much-drain-cleaner.png 680w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px" />While drain cleaners can help with minor clogs, excessive use or using them improperly can cause corrosion in your pipes and even worsen the problem. Over time, these harsh chemicals can damage your plumbing system. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, call Plumber Pro Service & Drains. Our experienced team uses safe, effective methods to clear your drains without causing harm to your pipes.
<h4 data-start="2294" data-end="2339">5. Leaving Hoses Connected During Winter</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3099" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/leaving-hoses-connected-during-winter-300x259.png" alt="" width="179" height="154" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/leaving-hoses-connected-during-winter-300x259.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/leaving-hoses-connected-during-winter.png 376w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px" />Failing to disconnect your garden hoses during the winter months is a common oversight that can lead to frozen outdoor faucets and damaged water supply lines. To prevent this issue, disconnect all hoses before the cold sets in. Plumber Pro Service & Drains can help you winterize your plumbing system to avoid costly repairs when temperatures drop.
<h4 data-start="2694" data-end="2740">6. Pouring Chemicals into a Septic System</h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3100" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-chemicals-into-a-septic-system-300x208.png" alt="" width="202" height="140" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-chemicals-into-a-septic-system-300x208.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/pouring-chemicals-into-a-septic-system.png 465w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px" />Chemicals such as drain cleaners, bleach, chlorine, and even some soaps can destroy the beneficial bacteria in your septic system. This can lead to backups and expensive repairs. Always avoid pouring harmful chemicals down your drains.

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3101" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-the-toilet-as-a-trash-can-158x300.png" alt="" width="119" height="226" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-the-toilet-as-a-trash-can-158x300.png 158w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/using-the-toilet-as-a-trash-can.png 414w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 119px) 100vw, 119px" />It may seem like a convenient solution, but throwing non-toilet paper items into the toilet can create major plumbing issues. The small 3-inch drain pipe connected to your toilet is linked to your home’s entire plumbing system, and flushing improper items can cause blockages throughout the house. The only things that should ever be flushed are toilet paper and waste. Plumber Pro Service & Drains can fix any clogs that result from improper flushing.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In the intricate dance between nature and urban development, few conflicts are as hidden yet impactful as the ongoing battle between tree roots and sewer lines. This underground struggle can lead to extensive damage, costly repairs, and major disruptions for homeowners. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy plumbing system and are committed to helping Athens, Georgia, residents protect their sewer lines from the dangers of tree root intrusion.
Why Do Tree Roots Invade Sewer Lines?
Tree roots naturally seek out water, nutrients, and oxygen—elements vital for their growth and survival. Unfortunately, sewer lines often provide an unintentional source of these essentials, especially when there is even the smallest leak or crack in the piping. Vapors escaping from tiny fissures can attract roots from surprisingly long distances. Once roots find their way into a sewer line, they expand inside the pipe, thriving on the moisture and nutrients. This can quickly lead to blockages, cracked pipes, and even full line collapses.
The Devastating Impact of Tree Root Intrusion
The consequences of tree root intrusion are far-reaching. What may begin as slow drainage or occasional clogs can escalate into severe blockages, sewage backups, and even burst pipes. The relentless pressure exerted by growing roots can cause cracks, split pipes, and significant structural damage. If left unchecked, root intrusion can lead to major plumbing emergencies that require costly repairs and even sewer line replacement.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3078" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots-destroy-sewer-lines-300x198.png" alt="" width="246" height="163" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots-destroy-sewer-lines-300x198.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots-destroy-sewer-lines.png 472w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px" />Signs of Tree Root Intrusion
Early detection is crucial for preventing extensive damage. Here are some warning signs that your sewer line may be compromised by tree roots:
<ul>
<li>Slow-flowing drains that worsen over time</li>
<li>Gurgling noises from toilet bowls or drains</li>
<li>Unexplained lush patches of grass in your yard, indicating extra moisture</li>
<li>Foul odors coming from drains or your yard</li>
</ul>
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act fast. Plumber Pro Service & Drains specializes in diagnosing and resolving sewer line issues promptly and effectively.
Proactive Measures to Prevent Tree Root Intrusion
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3079" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots--300x200.png" alt="" width="275" height="183" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots--300x200.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots--768x511.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/tree-roots-.png 865w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px" />Prevention is always better than the cure, especially when it comes to sewer line maintenance. Here are strategies that can help protect your plumbing from invasive roots:
<ol>
<li> Smart Landscaping Choices</li>
</ol>
When planting trees or shrubs, consider their proximity to sewer lines. Avoid species with aggressive root systems, and always be mindful of where plumbing lines are buried. Plumber Pro Service & Drains can help you locate your sewer lines before you plant, ensuring you make tree-friendly decisions that won’t impact your plumbing.
<ol start="2">
<li> Root Barriers</li>
</ol>
Installing physical root barriers can prevent roots from reaching your sewer lines. These barriers are made of metal or plastic and are designed to redirect root growth away from your pipes.
<ol start="3">
<li> Regular Sewer Line Inspections</li>
</ol>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3080" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/video-pipe-inspection--300x181.png" alt="" width="286" height="173" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/video-pipe-inspection--300x181.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/video-pipe-inspection--768x463.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/video-pipe-inspection-.png 867w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px" />Routine inspections are key to early detection. At Plumber Pro Service & Drains, we offer advanced video camera inspections that can identify vulnerabilities before they become major problems. Our expert team recommends annual inspections to keep your sewer system running smoothly.
<ol start="4">
<li> Chemical Root Treatments</li>
</ol>
Biodegradable and non-toxic chemical treatments can discourage root growth without harming your trees or the environment. Our team is experienced in applying these treatments safely and effectively.

<ol>
<li> Mechanical Root Removal</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In a groundbreaking move that’s sparked national conversation, Utah has become the first state in the U.S. to ban the addition of fluoride to public water supplies. Governor Spencer Cox signed the new legislation into law on March 27, 2025, and it will take effect on May 7, 2025.
While many see this as a victory for public health and personal freedom, residents of Athens, Georgia face a different reality: fluoridation here isn’t optional. It’s mandated by state law, leaving no room for local communities to opt out—even if they want to.
But here’s the good news: You don’t need a law to protect your family. You just need a call Plumber Pro Service & Drains.
<hr class="" data-start="1084" data-end="1087" />
<h2>Why People Across the Country Are Reconsidering Fluoride</h2>
<h3 class="" data-start="1150" data-end="1186"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3069" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/girl-drinking-water-300x242.png" alt="" width="274" height="221" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/girl-drinking-water-300x242.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/girl-drinking-water.png 766w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 274px) 100vw, 274px" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f9e0.png" alt="🧠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> New Research, Growing Concern</h3>
Recent studies from North America have linked fluoride exposure to developmental delays, lower IQ scores, and increased risks of ADHD—particularly among children exposed in the womb. Vulnerable groups like formula-fed infants, the elderly, and nutritionally deficient individuals are especially at risk.
<h3 class="" data-start="1508" data-end="1535"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/1f6ab.png" alt="🚫" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> The Issue of Consent</h3>
When fluoride is added to public water, it removes personal choice. Critics argue that this blanket approach to public health fails to account for individual needs and medical concerns—essentially medicating the population without informed consent.
<h3 class="" data-start="1786" data-end="1822"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.1.0/72x72/26a0.png" alt="⚠" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Unequal Impact on Communities</h3>
Low-income and minority communities tend to face the harshest effects of systemic fluoridation. Limited access to filtration alternatives makes these populations more susceptible to long-term exposure and its consequences.
<hr class="" data-start="2047" data-end="2050" />
<h2 class="" data-start="2052" data-end="2090"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-3070" src="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/georgia-law-300x142.png" alt="" width="245" height="116" srcset="https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/georgia-law-300x142.png 300w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/georgia-law-768x364.png 768w, https://plumberproservice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/georgia-law.png 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 245px) 100vw, 245px" />In Georgia, Fluoridation Is the Law</h2>
Unlike Utah, Georgia law requires public water systems to fluoridate, with no opt-out provision for municipalities or individuals. This makes it all the more important to take matters into your own hands.
