Emergency Plumbing Services in Thomasville

Staring at a burst pipe?

Your home’s busiest plumbing components are its water pipes, moving gallons of water around everyday. We don’t see them, so we forget them…until they start leaking, or even burst. This can be caused by old pipe materials like older steel, clay and cast iron. These materials thin out with age from water wear or inevitable rusting. Tree roots searching for moisture will sometimes grow into water pipes, becoming another reason for a burst. A build-up of debris in your pipes can create a clog that can turn into a real problem with frequent plunging into potentially weak, or aged pipes.

Fortunately you can be somewhat proactive in preventing burst pipes:
• First, doing some inspections in those remote places we talked about earlier is definitely a good way to keep an eye on pipe conditions.
• Second, call on Bohannon’s to use their tried-and-true techniques, including pipe cameras, to assess the condition of the inside of your pipes. If we spot any troublesome clogs, we’ll quickly eradicate them.
• Finally, be careful about what goes down your drains. What may seem harmless could be building up to a future problem.

An ounce of prevention is certainly a good policy, but if you do find yourself needing emergency plumbing services for your pipes, don’t hesitate to call us. You can count on us to find the leak, perform a swift repair, and restore the use of your always-busy water pipes.

Is your water heater leaking?

The last thing you want to do is let a water heater leak go without immediate attention. It could burst and lead to a watery mess. The main reason for a water heater to start leaking is its treatment over time. A lot of homes pipe in hard water, which can cause corrosion over time, and a build-up of natural sediments will add to that outcome. To avoid this problem, it is recommended that hard water homes flush their water heater tanks at least once a year. If you suspect your water heater may be going out, with signs like a higher power bill, or cold water in the shower, give Bohannon’s a call. We’ll assess your water heater and offer our suggestions.

Have a water or sewer line emergency?

Over time, water lines and sewer lines wear down and can become damaged. You may start seeing telltale signs of leakage like puddles of water in your yard, lower water pressure from the faucets, discolored water, or higher water bills. When you see any of these signs developing, contact Bohannon’s as soon as possible. We will run the necessary tests to determine the condition of your water lines. We’ll inspect your sewer lines using a high-definition camera to find cracks or leaks. Once we get a clear image of the issue, we can proceed with your repairs accordingly. As tempting as it may be to try making these repairs on your own, water line repairs and replacements are never a DIY project. Turn to the plumbing professionals at Bohannon’s for superior water and sewer line replacement and for all your emergency plumbing services.
