Here’s Why You Need A Sewer System

There are no bad questions. At least that’s the attitude we have here and so our Atlanta Plumber are always ready to answer questions from our clients. When someone asked why we need a sewer system that runs to your house from the street, we were only too happy to answer as your plumbers in atllanta of choice.

There are three big reasons why you need a sewer line running from your home. First, wastewater smells terrible and needs to be disposed of accordingly. Second, human waste actually contains harmful bacteria like E. coli that can cause disease when released into the environment. Finally, the increased algae that is the byproduct of waste can actually kill fish and further affect the environment.


That’s why you need to be sure the sewer line running to your house is intact. Call us. We’ll come over and inspect it and even follow up with the right replacements should any part of the line need fixing.

A Few Tips On Avoiding A Basement Flood

Although statistics report that 95% of basements experience some kind of water damage during extremely heavy rainfall or other extreme weather, having a Atlanta Plumber specialist on hand can help you find some piece of mind.

There are some things that you can do to prevent this emergency as well and one of them is trimming hedges and shrubs at the side of the property so the soil has a chance to dry in the sun after a rainfall and absorb moisture. Make sure the downspout extensions are pointed away from the house as well.

You should also seal any cracks in your basement walls so that moisture can’t find a way  in. Most of the Atlanta Plumbers that are responsible will also recommend sump pumps that get rid of any groundwater that seeps into your basement.

Some Common Shower Problems

There are often issues that can be headed off before they cost you loads of money and having us as your Atlanta plumber often makes all the difference. For example there are some signs that mean you should consider your shower needs some work before things get to a critical stage.

Mineral deposits from hard water are often the culprits when the flow from your shower head stops working the way you want it to.  You can clean it with a vinegar solution overnight but if that doesn’t work you should more than likely replace the fixture.

The shower pan needs to be looked at periodically as well. Remember that if you ignore this waterproofed part of the system after it stops working properly, you can wind up with a rotted sub floor in you home.

A Few Tips On Plumbing Leaks

Here at Ridgeway Mechanical, we wouldn’t be able to call ourselves your Atlanta plumbing repair specialists if we didn't know everything we needed to about plumbing in Atlanta and leaks. Here are a few interesting statistics about the damage that a leak can do if left unattended.

For example, a pinhole leak in one of the pipes in your home can waste 360,000 gallons of water in one year. A running toilet leak can cost you money too. In fact estimates say leaving a toilet leak unattended can increase your  water bill by $500.

When you find any kind of leak the first step is to turn off the water supply at that specific appliance or if you can’t find one you need to turn off the main water shutoff. It's always a good idea to know the location of these main water shutoffs.

Atlanta Plumbers. What To Look For

When you need an Atlanta plumber to look after your plumbing needs whether they are renovations or leak detection, you want to be sure that you are hiring professionals that are qualified to do the job. Look for a few of these qualifications.

Flexibility. Make sure the Atlanta plumbing professional you choose knows about a few necessary areas like leak detection and sewer lines.  Here it’s good to have a professional that knows their way around a few different scenarios. You want a well rounded approach here. Make sure they have good contact information as well. Remember that having an email address is a good thing, but having a telephone number too is better. They need to have emergency services as well to complete the package.
