Many people dream about this because they consider country living an ideal that many fantasize about but never realize. This may be true, however, when planning a rural home there are also two major items to consider that are generally never thought of when living in an urban environment: water service and waste disposal. To be more specific, we are talking about rural plumbing services, which include septic tank installation and service for your waste disposal, and private water well drilling and installation for your water needs. To have septic service for your new home, you will need to purchase and have installed a septic tank. These tanks are generally made out of concrete or plastic and are more common than most people realize.<br/><a href="http://bit.ly/1pnkFio">http://bit.ly/1pnkFio</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-9060098817547712992016-03-01T22:13:00.001-08:002016-03-01T22:13:25.422-08:00Why Hire a Professional Plumber to Do Your Well Drilling in Athens, GA<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1456899011-AthensPlumbing-1.jpg'/><br/>When you have a home, one of the easiest ways to save money is by avoiding city or town water rates. Cities are notorious for adding chemicals and different additives to their water and they then charge the homeowner to bring this supply into their home. In fact, you are going to be paying by the gallon for all of the water that comes into your home and then goes back out to the sewer system. Because of this, it might be better worth your time and investment to have well drilling done. The plumber in Athens, GA who you choose to work with will be able to do all of the well drilling for you when it is most convenient for you. Once you make the decision to have well drilling done, the professionals will come to your home and begin the process of finding water underground.<br/><a href="http://bit.ly/21GyaaQ">http://bit.ly/21GyaaQ</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-62595956835020012912016-02-29T21:37:00.000-08:002016-02-29T21:37:05.219-08:00Maximize the Life of Your Water Heater through Expert Upkeep Service<br />

If it is 10 years old or older, it may be time for a new one. The latest water heaters are manufactured to be energy efficient and Athens GA plumbing pros have the expertise to install most types of water heaters. That said, there are several problems that may arise in water heaters including leaks. Leaks can cause excess energy use and water damage in your basement, walls and floors. These problems should be handled by a professional.<br/><a href="http://bit.ly/1MsD94U">http://bit.ly/1MsD94U</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-4129832986405432882015-11-02T01:56:00.001-08:002015-11-02T01:56:27.574-08:00Well Service in Athens, GA: How to Tell If You Need a New Well Pump<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1446458093-logo.png'/><br/>Living off well and septic systems is a great option for homeowners in rural areas who don't have access to municipal water and sewer lines; however, these systems come with their own issues. Diagnosing the problem and seeking help from an experienced plumber in Athens, GA as soon as possible decreases the risk of costly plumbing bills. The most common indications of problems with well pumps and water tanks include decreased water pressure, loud or unusual noises, dirty water, air “spitting” from the faucet, and abnormally high electric bills, which may mean that the pump is running constantly to keep the water pressure at a normal level. Other scenarios that put a strain on the well pump, increasing the risk of pump failure, include a power outage and the expansion tank losing pressure.<br/><a href="http://bit.ly/1MsBufF">http://bit.ly/1MsBufF</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-75050948985874305362015-08-13T22:01:00.001-07:002015-08-13T22:01:39.932-07:00Secrets for Saving Money While Using Your Water Heater Regularly<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1439461585-AthensPlumbing.comURL2.jpg'/><br/>Does your monthly water bill drill a big hole in your pocket? Budgeting your monthly income can be extremely hard, but there are simply things that you cannot give up. A good example of this is proper heating. While some items may be simply necessary and need to be prioritized, however, this doesn’t mean that you can’t cut down on those costs. Here are a few tips for reducing your water utility bills without sacrificing your comfort. Smart Showering Be smart when you use the shower. Turn it off while you’re soaping or shampooing. Avoid turning the knob to full pressure if you don’t need to, and keep your baths as short as possible. You can also try installing low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators to save 25% to 60% on water consumption.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/secrets-for-saving-money-while-using-your-water-heater-regularly">http://www.athensplumbing.com/secrets-for-saving-money-while-using-your-water-heater-regularly</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-39522643006444785482015-08-13T03:26:00.001-07:002015-08-13T03:26:13.274-07:00Safe and Clean: Guidelines for Proper Well Service and Maintenance<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1439461453-AthensPlumbing.comURL1.jpg'/><br/>Due to the expensiveness of safe potable water, many have turned to private wells for an additional water source. Keeping a private well can be very advantageous for a homeowner. Maintaining one, however, is not an easy task. The quality and safety of the water largely depends on how well it is managed and maintained. Bacteria and contaminants can easily find their way into your water system if the system is not maintained properly. Hard water and mineral build-up (while not dangerous) may affect the taste and quality of the water as well<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/safe-and-clean-guidelines-for-proper-well-service-and-maintenance">http://www.athensplumbing.com/safe-and-clean-guidelines-for-proper-well-service-and-maintenance</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-82142409093176731712015-07-17T10:01:00.001-07:002015-07-17T10:01:18.603-07:00Plumbing Tips and Advice: How to Avoid a Home Inspection Citation<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1436941978-athen02.jpg'/><br/>Some plumbing problems are obvious, others not so. Health and home inspectors are experienced and well-trained experts keen at finding both. While you may be aware of certain plumbing issues such as a clogged toilet, other not-so-obvious issues could result in a citation for certain plumbing violations. A popular chain restaurant in Coweta County recently received such citations from a health inspection. Several violations were noted, including pipe leaks under the dish machine and washer sink, and mold on the drop area of the ice machine. Both were repeat violations. The local health inspector said in an interview that plumbers already submitted their estimates to fix the leaks in March, but the restaurant failed to act on them. The inspector had a plumber do the repairs immediately during this latest inspection.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/plumbing-tips-and-advice-how-to-avoid-a-home-inspection-citation">http://www.athensplumbing.com/plumbing-tips-and-advice-how-to-avoid-a-home-inspection-citation</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-87404582951634644032015-07-14T23:33:00.001-07:002015-07-14T23:33:20.556-07:00Athens, GA Plumber Advice: Take Care of Plumbing Problems Immediately<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1436941776-athen01.jpg'/><br/>Plumbers are often called in to fix a plumbing problem that no one foresaw. More often than not, however, it will be to fix something that was left to worsen. Between the two contrasts, the latter is utterly inexcusable as the cost to fix them is often considerably more than what early repair would have cost in the first place. Below are some examples of common plumbing problems that an Athens, GA homeowner may face. If you encounter any of them, it’s imperative that you call a plumber straight away. Letting such issues linger could open you up to bigger utility bills, extensive water damage and maybe even health risks—all of which can lead to substantial costs down the line.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-advice-take-care-of-plumbing-problems-immediately">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-advice-take-care-of-plumbing-problems-immediately</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-30399842582033363272015-05-23T22:01:00.001-07:002015-05-23T22:01:10.367-07:00Athens, GA Plumbing Maintenance: The Importance of Regular Checks<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1432069262-AP2.png'/><br/>On the other hand, if DIY maintenance or repairs are not your strong suit, it’s best to entrust the job to professionals. Needless to say, excellent Athens, GA plumbing services from established companies like Athens Plumbing & Well Service are worth your investment. They cater to households that need their urgent help for unclogging drains and repairing plumbing fixtures, may they be your bathtubs, water heater, or toilet. Septic systems likewise need constant checking, especially those for residential use, since the need for major system repairs or replacements may arise over the years. Proper maintenance, which is quite affordable, may extend your septic tank’s life to 20 years or beyond, but replacing your septic system due to lack of proper care can cost thousands of dollars. That is why maintaining your septic tank in Athens, GA must be given some serious consideration.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumbing-maintenance-the-importance-of-regular-checks">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumbing-maintenance-the-importance-of-regular-checks</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-64582692236906638582015-05-21T22:01:00.001-07:002015-05-21T22:01:11.048-07:00Home Plumbing: Importance of Hiring a Reliable Plumber in Athens, GA<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1432069146-AP1.png'/><br/>Before hiring a plumber, it is perfectly fine to inquire about the plumber’s length of industry experience, as some plumbing service like septic tank or emergency plumbing work requires meticulous attention to details and considerable skill. Aside from the usual plumbing services (pumps, septic tank, and drain cleaning services, to name a few), leading companies like Athens Plumbing & Well Service also provide well drilling in Athens, GA, thereby allowing households to make the most of the available ground water resources in their area.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/home-plumbing-importance-of-hiring-a-reliable-plumber-in-athens-ga">http://www.athensplumbing.com/home-plumbing-importance-of-hiring-a-reliable-plumber-in-athens-ga</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-44313310167329509992015-05-20T07:06:00.001-07:002015-05-20T07:06:16.630-07:00An Athens, GA Plumbing Company Can Help You Manage Your Septic Tank<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1431981639-2.jpg'/><br/>Of the various components and systems that make up a plumbing network, it is the septic system that is mostly forgotten or largely ignored by homeowners; it does not help that the system is out-of-sight. On-site sewage facilities are usually built to last for as long as possible and are buried underground, so some homeowners pay little attention to the system. It is only when a home’s drains begin to back up that homeowners start worrying about their septic tanks. Homeowners who suspect that something is wrong with their septic systems should immediately call for a local Athens, GA plumbing contractor, such as Athens Plumbing & Well Service. Select plumbing companies are equipped with the tools and equipment necessary to repair septic systems without causing too much of a mess. The same contractors can also pump out solids from the septic tank as part of a routine maintenance arrangement.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/an-athens-ga-plumbing-company-can-help-you-manage-your-septic-tank">http://www.athensplumbing.com/an-athens-ga-plumbing-company-can-help-you-manage-your-septic-tank</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-49592164323422987892015-05-18T13:23:00.001-07:002015-05-18T13:23:28.208-07:00Skilled Athens, GA Plumber Can Help with Well Drilling and Maintenance<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1431980444-1.jpg'/><br/>Though many people have access to municipal water services, some would prefer having their own sources of water. The main way to go about that is to drill your own well and hook your home to it. There are several advantages to this; one is that you aren’t dependent on public water sources and don’t have to worry about supply. Another is that you are in complete control of how the water is purified and treated. If you’re interested, an experienced plumber in Athens, GA like one working with Athens Plumbing & Well Service would be able to help your home gain access to a well and maintaining it for continued use. Well Drilling Professional Athens, GA well drilling firms can help you get started in getting your own well. Depending on how deep the water table is in your part of the state, there are different types of wells you can choose from and the type of water pump you can use.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/skilled-athens-ga-plumber-can-help-with-well-drilling-and-maintenance">http://www.athensplumbing.com/skilled-athens-ga-plumber-can-help-with-well-drilling-and-maintenance</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-53273377288394922222015-04-23T10:00:00.001-07:002015-04-23T10:00:59.832-07:00Athens, GA Water Heater Maintenance: For Housekeeping and Hot Baths<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1429653711-2.jpg'/><br/>Physically active people release a good amount of endorphins with exercise and the hot baths they take post-activity. The moderately hot water temperature can help ease sore muscles, aches, and other body pains. The overall relaxed inner state also helps prevent the likely build-up of lactic acid in the muscles after engaging in strenuous exercises. Water Heater Maintenance With all these health benefits in mind, ensure that proper Athens, GA water heater maintenance is part of your annual schedule of cleaning and tune-ups of appliances and important systems in your home. Homeowners can start checking the water heater’s tank for residue build-ups at the bottom of the unit. Neglecting this basic cleanup can impair the heater’s function to produce hot water, while also decreasing its lifespan, simultaneously.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-water-heater-maintenance-housekeeping-hot-baths">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-water-heater-maintenance-housekeeping-hot-baths</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-88530317297365178202015-04-21T15:04:00.001-07:002015-04-21T15:04:11.721-07:00Athens, GA Plumber Can Do Fine Wells for Additional Water Source<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1429653710-1.jpg'/><br/>It is important to choose your reinforcing materials to buttress the walls of the well completely. The walls should be intact to serve as effective barriers from having soil particles contaminate the water supply. The barriers also serve as coverings for the pumping mechanism that encourage smooth water movement. Take note that the shallower the well, the higher its risks of being contaminated. Thus, dug wells specifically, being only 10 to 30 feet deep, pose a higher risk of being mucked up. Your Athens, GA plumber can recommend the right watertight materials—concrete, cement grout, and bentonite clay—for sealing purposes, and give advice on quality metal pipes. Supplementary materials should meet certain strength qualifications to keep your well in optimal condition for a longer time. Do not settle for cheap and weak materials as they will shift and crack, and result in premature damages.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-can-fine-wells-additional-water-source">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-can-fine-wells-additional-water-source</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-39703271230638013072015-03-14T10:03:00.001-07:002015-04-27T11:28:58.305-07:00An Athens, GA Plumbing Maintenance Check: The Household Septic Tank<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When it comes to plumbing in Athens, GA plumbing systems, one area that can be taken for granted is the septic tank. Most people wouldn’t know that this has to be checked on periodically and pumped out every now and then. If it isn’t maintained properly, it would need replacement sooner rather than later, and would cost a lot of money. Also, a system that is not working properly can contaminate groundwater that is used for drinking.<br />

Call Your Local Athens, GA Plumber<img src='https://d5k6iufjynyu8.cloudfront.net/uploads/AthensPlumbing-1426178309-A1.jpg'/><br/>There may come a time when the well would stop pumping water, and purchasing or setting up a new one isn’t a logical option. Conventional well pumps are built to last for many years, some as long as 20 years or more. However, the number of components involved in pumping water could present several issues which may restrict the water supply. In many cases, such problems are best left in the hands of a skilled Athens, GA plumber.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/having-issues-with-your-home-well-call-your-local-athens-ga-plumber">http://www.athensplumbing.com/having-issues-with-your-home-well-call-your-local-athens-ga-plumber</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-42461414525666325112015-02-07T21:01:00.001-08:002015-03-03T04:30:03.064-08:00Well-Conditioned Athens, GA Plumbing Keeps Your Bath Water Just Right<div style="text-align: center;">

You’d also want your system to have both hot and cold water working perfectly to avoid the risk of being scalded, or chilled to the bone. Health and safety authorities suggest setting the temperature of hot water up to 120OF. Any higher and it only takes minutes to induce second-degree burns. Similarly, too-cold showers induce dangers of their own: hypothermia and irregular heartbeat, to name two. Incoming water is cold by default, so to get it just right, make sure you have a locally sourced and serviced Athens, GA water heater working efficiently in your home.<br />

This involves sealing the well with clay and soil to prevent any surface contaminant from making its way into the groundwater. As many well services are also in the plumbing business, they can also repair cracks and leaks in the well system to prevent contamination. Normally, some cues for leaking or damaged wells involve a loss of water pressure or dirty water gushing out of the tap. These should your tip-off to contact a reliable Athens, GA plumber or a well service specialist.<br />

Having too little hot water can be just as bad as having too much at any given moment. To avoid this, make some speedy calculations on your overall hot water demand. The Department of Energy offers several effective tips on calculating demand for each type of water heater in Athens, GA and elsewhere. Tankless Tankless water heaters don’t store hot water in reserve. Instead, they heat the water as it flows through the unit, providing as much hot water as needed without running out. So, instead of the capacity, compute for the flow rate and temperature rise.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/math-choosing-best-water-heater-athens-ga-homes">http://www.athensplumbing.com/math-choosing-best-water-heater-athens-ga-homes</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-33705932909554509382014-12-04T07:29:00.001-08:002014-12-04T07:29:48.396-08:00Athens, GA Plumber Urges Keeping Contaminants Away From Your Well<img src='http://www.athensplumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/georgias-water-healthy-tastes.png'/><br/>A private well is one way to steer clear of rising water costs. However, unless it was installed by an experienced plumber in Athens, GA, you’re probably better off with public water. Water samples recovered in several counties last May 2014 found traces of harmful bacteria and contaminants in groundwater. While experts said most people can develop immunity to these substances with daily drinking, the sickly are put at risk. This is why it’s important to bring water samples to commercial or university labs first (or at County Environmental Health Offices).<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-urges-keeping-contaminants-away-well">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumber-urges-keeping-contaminants-away-well</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-23091389642937721342014-10-03T06:17:00.001-07:002014-10-03T06:17:55.305-07:00Athens, GA Plumbing Tips: Preventive Maintenance for Water Heaters<img src='http://www.athensplumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/DIY-Tips-for-water-Heater-Maintenance.png'/><br/>What is the modern home life in the Peach State without having access to reliable plumbing systems if not uncomfortable and impractical? While practically every household in places like Athens, GA today are equipped with efficient plumbing, many homeowners don’t give it a second thought until problems force owners to pay attention. This problem calls for reliable Athens, GA plumbing maintenance and repairs, the latter preferably left to professionals like Athens Plumbing & Well Service. The Water Heater Of all the plumbing fixtures in the house, the water heater is one of the most important, and one of the most commonly neglected, too. A worn heater could give rise to a plethora of problems, such as leaks (which could destroy your equipment from the inside out), to rust, which not only damages the heater itself, but also contaminates the water.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumbing-tips-preventive-maintenance-water-heaters">http://www.athensplumbing.com/athens-ga-plumbing-tips-preventive-maintenance-water-heaters</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-13943133558418889472014-09-30T10:36:00.001-07:002014-09-30T10:36:12.538-07:00Importance of Athens, GA Well Service and Cleaning: On Contamination<br/>Many homeowners in Georgia’s Classic City favor water well as an efficient way to get their home’s regular supply of water safe enough for household use. However, while well water is generally safe (soil acts as a natural filter), there are many factors that open it up to contamination, thus often requiring reliable Athens, GA well service from professionals like Athens Plumbing & Well Service. If your well isn’t properly maintained, you could be in danger of some of these dangerous contaminants: Bacteria Chief among the organic contaminants that could plague your water supply are various bacterial species, both pathogenic and non-pathogenic. While the latter isn’t exactly dangerous, they could nonetheless alter the water’s color, taste, and other factors. Pathogenic bacteria like E-coli, on the other hand, are extremely dangerous and should be eliminated.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/importance-athens-ga-well-service-cleaning-contamination">http://www.athensplumbing.com/importance-athens-ga-well-service-cleaning-contamination</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289819551984506830.post-3181826282438597702014-09-09T13:14:00.001-07:002014-09-09T13:14:06.084-07:00Why Proper Maintenance of Septic Tanks in Athens, GA is Important<br/>Septic tanks allow safe disposal of wastewater, especially for rural areas that are not served by public sewers. Thanks to these Athens, GA plumbing systems, unwanted waste remains out of sight. However, if not adequately maintained, they can fail and cause severe problems. Most homeowners disregard their septic systems until a problem becomes noticeable, like the smell of sewage becoming obvious after heavy rainfall or toilet backups.<br/><a href="http://www.athensplumbing.com/proper-maintenance-septic-tanks-athens-ga-important">http://www.athensplumbing.com/proper-maintenance-septic-tanks-athens-ga-important</a>Don Bennetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10893836099073585972noreply@blogger.com0
