Trusted Drain Cleaning Services in Newnan, GA

If a clogged drain line is not addressed, it can absolutely result in a water damage event. If you know you have a clogged drain but keep using the fixture attached to that drain line, whether it be a sink, toilet, tub, or shower, the result will be that the drain water will seek its own level. Often, this leak will be into a basement, crawlspace, around the base of a toilet, or in the shower basin. Once water seeps past a toilet seal at the floor, that seal will be prone to leak from that point on and should be changed. It is possible for a toilet seal to leak and never show on the floor, showing up below in the basement or crawlspace. When the stoppage is removed from a drain line, it is a good idea to be sure there are no resulting problems with the piping that can cause damage later.

There are many reasons for a pipe to leak including pipe deterioration due to age, excessive internal pressure, clogs, temperature changes, and poor plumbing work. Although you may be able to determine the most likely reason for the leak, it is always better to consult a professional. We have the best equipment for exploring what is going on below the surface.

Pinhole leaks in copper pipes happen as a result of internal corrosion. The corrosion can happen because of water quality and/or dissimilar metals in the water piping system. If your water is at the wrong pH or contains certain minerals, or lacks certain qualities, your pipes can begin to fail. Connecting dissimilar metals in plumbing creates a chemical reaction which will eventually cause the leaks. It is common in our area to find copper water piping systems in failure when the system is supplied by a well. While copper is otherwise usually a good choice for water piping within a home, there are other materials that should be chosen for new construction or for replacement of the system. PEX plastic piping is an excellent choice. If the home is copper and the damage to the piping is minimal, there are treatment options that can remove the aggressive agents from the water and restore a balance to the water in the copper system.

Low water pressure in your shower could be because of debris or mineral buildup in the fixture, shower head or piping. A partially closed main house shutoff valve or a failing pressure regulator could also be the cause. If the pressure problem is just one shower, the issue may be with just the shower head itself. Call our professional team to find the source! It may just be time for a new shower head.

We do not recommend attempting to repair a toilet tank. The cost of a toilet tank is negligible compared to the potential for water damage from a failed attempt at a repair. We do not ever recommend repairing cracked or damage china.
