Atlanta Area Plumbing Experts You Can Trust!

You're certainly not alone, as drains are the number one maintenance headache! Frequent clogs usually point to two main culprits:

• In the Bathroom: The overwhelming cause is hair combined with soap scum, which creates a sticky barrier that traps everything else.
• In the Kitchen: It's almost always grease and fat being washed down the sink, which cools and solidifies inside the pipes, trapping food scraps.

It is important to avoid store-bought liquid drain cleaners. They often rely on harsh, acidic chemicals that might clear the clog temporarily but can severely erode and damage your pipes over time, leading to much more expensive leaks. For safe, lasting results, call a licensed plumber like Snappy. We use professional, pipe-safe tools like augers and hydro-jetting to fully clear the line, not just burn a hole through the blockage.

If you're experiencing multiple slow drains or a sewage backup, you have a serious blockage in your main line and likely need a clean out. While grease and sludge are common, a surprising and frequent culprit in North Atlanta is tree root intrusion. Tree roots naturally gravitate toward the moisture inside sewer lines. Over time, they can push through tiny cracks, grow into a dense mass inside the pipe, and create a blockage that completely stops flow.

If you have frequent, recurring backups, tree roots are likely the issue. At Snappy, we know the area and use specialized camera inspections to confirm the cause, which allows us to determine the best sewer clean out and repair method, such as pipe repair or replacement.

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

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

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

A sudden spike in your water bill when usage hasn't changed is the classic sign of a hidden leak. Common culprits are:

• A running or slowly leaking toilet (often silent).
• A pinhole leak in a water supply line behind a wall.
• A slab leak (a pipe failure beneath your home's concrete foundation).

A professional plumbing company with expertise in leak detection addresses the underlying issues. At Snappy, we use precision acoustic and thermal detection equipment to pinpoint these leaks without destructive digging. Finding and fixing a hidden leak can save you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in wasted water and prevent structural damage.
