Answers to the most frequently asked plumbing questions from Athens homeowners.
A plumbing repair addresses a specific problem — a broken pipe, a failed joint, a leaking valve. Repiping replaces the entire water supply system throughout your Athens home, typically because the existing pipes are too corroded or deteriorated to repair reliably. If your Athens home experiences frequent leaks or has galvanized or polybutylene pipes, repiping may be the more cost-effective long-term solution.
If you smell gas in your Athens home, do not operate any electrical switches, open flames, or appliances. Leave the building immediately, leaving doors open as you go. Call your gas utility from outside or from a neighbor, then call Phoenician Plumbing for emergency gas line inspection. Do not re-enter until a professional has cleared the property.
Your main water shutoff valve in Athens is typically located near the water meter, near the front foundation, or in the basement or utility room. Turn the valve clockwise to close it. If you cannot find your shutoff or it is stuck, call Phoenician Plumbing immediately — our emergency crew can help locate and operate the valve to stop water damage.
Plumber rates in Athens typically range from $100 to $250 per hour depending on the type of work and time of day. Common jobs like drain cleaning run $150 to $300, while slab leak repair and repiping projects cost significantly more. Phoenician Plumbing provides free estimates so you know the full cost before any work begins.
Signs of a slab leak in Athens homes include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, cracks in the foundation or walls, and low water pressure. If you notice these symptoms, call a plumber for professional slab leak detection before the damage worsens.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Consider replacement when your unit is over 10 years old, produces rusty or discolored water, makes rumbling or popping noises, or requires frequent repairs. Phoenician Plumbing offers free water heater assessments to help Athens homeowners decide between repair and replacement.
