Announcing Plumb Works Academy

Ricky Pattillo • January 14, 2021

Many of our homeowners know their way around the tools of the digital age, Power Point professionals and social media savants ready to seize the day! But-when faced with plumbing problems like a jammed garbage disposal or a clogged toilet, some are left scratching their heads. Plumb Works is here to help! This January, we are launching our very own Plumb Works Academy. Over the course of the year, we’ll be releasing a full semester’s worth of DIY tutorials on some everyday plumbing issues, empowering you to fix them on your own.


Some topics we’ll cover include how to fix a slow-draining sink, cleaning a faucet aerator or showerhead, and picking out fixtures with a plumber’s eye. With these courses, those staring bewildered down a clogged drain now have a hope. And if the problem seems to persist, our team of professional plumbers are standing by to help.


To enroll in the Plumb Works Academy and see our curriculum of upcoming videos, just visit PlumbWorksAcademy.com. We’ll teach you all the home plumbing basics that your granddad knew. (So maybe next time he asks you to set up his new phone, you could show some respect?) And if you’re interested in going beyond the basics of home plumbing, contact us and ask about the Plumb Works Academy Advanced Placement program.


For any immediate plumbing solutions in Atlanta and the surrounding areas, call Plumb Works at 404-524-1825 or schedule service with PlumbWorks.

Nothing puts the cold chill on the festive holiday season like a frozen or burst pipe. Frozen pipes are bad enough, but when they burst, the problem worsens and can easily lead to flood damage requiring costly repairs. This all-too-common occurrence affects an estimated 250,000 homes in America each year. And Georgia may be a hot bed for frozen pipes. According to a State Farm report released in 2023, Georgia topped the list of frozen pipe-related losses at $100 million (from August 2002-August 2023.) Plumb Works remains your go-to source for frozen or burst pipe calls in our service area. However, there are some simple tips you can apply to protect pipes in cold weather and help avoid a house call. Before the thermometer dips below freezing – that’s 32 degrees Fahrenheit – do the following:
