Camera inspections allow us to diagnose pipe conditions internally — identifying cracks, collapses, or root intrusion without unnecessary excavation.


Leak Detection & Water Loss Prevention


Hidden leaks waste water and damage structural components over time.

We provide:

  • Appliance hookups
  • Gas line repair

Repiping & Plumbing System Replacement


As galvanized piping ages, corrosion restricts flow and increases leak risk.

  • Pressure loss
  • Frequent leaks
  • Visible pipe corrosion


Upgrading supply lines improves water quality, pressure, and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Plumbing Questions for Candler-Mcafee


We're here to answer your questions.


  • Do you service all of Candler-McAfee and nearby neighborhoods?

    No — we do not charge a separate dispatch or diagnostic fee for standard plumbing visits in Alpharetta. When our plumber arrives, they’ll inspect the issue, identify the cause, and walk you through what’s happening inside your plumbing system.


    You’ll receive clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. This gives you the opportunity to review repair options, understand urgency levels, and decide how you’d like to proceed without feeling pressured. Our goal is to provide transparency from the start so homeowners can make confident, informed decisions.

  • What should I do if my basement is flooding from a plumbing leak?

    If flooding occurs, your first priority should be stopping the water source. Shut off the main water valve immediately — typically located near the meter or where the supply line enters the home. If you cannot access it, shut off localized valves if possible.


    Next:

    • Move valuables and furniture
    • Contain water with towels or buckets
    • Turn off electricity if water is near outlets
    • Avoid standing water contact

    Once the area is stabilized, contact us for emergency repair service. Fast response reduces structural damage and mold risk.

  • How long will my water heater last?

    First, shut off your home’s main water supply. 


    This valve is typically located:

    • Near the water meter
    • In the basement
    • In a crawlspace
    • Along an exterior wall

    Stopping the water flow prevents further structural damage.


    Next steps:

    • Move furniture and valuables away from water
    • Use towels or buckets to contain spreading water
    • Turn off electricity to affected areas if safe
    • Avoid using plumbing fixtures

    When you call us, let our team know the water is already shut off so we can prepare for immediate repair upon arrival.

  • Why do my drains keep clogging?

    Recurring clogs often indicate buildup deeper in the plumbing system rather than surface blockages. Grease, soap residue, hair, and mineral deposits accumulate along pipe walls, restricting flow.


    Chemical cleaners may provide temporary relief but rarely resolve the underlying obstruction — and can damage older piping materials.


    Professional drain cleaning removes buildup completely, while camera inspections identify structural pipe issues or root intrusion if present.

  • Can you replace only sections of plumbing instead of repiping the whole home?

    Unexpected water bill increases often point to hidden water loss somewhere in the plumbing system.


    Common causes include:

    • Running toilets
    • Underground leaks
    • Irrigation line damage
    • Dripping faucets
    • Slab leaks
    • Worn shutoff valves

    Even small leaks waste significant water over time. For example, a continuously running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons daily.


    We perform leak detection testing to locate the source, stop the loss, and prevent structural or foundation damage.

  • What causes loud pipe banging noises?

    This condition — known as water hammer — occurs when fast-moving water stops abruptly, creating pressure shockwaves that cause pipes to bang against framing.


    Common causes include:

    • High water pressure
    • Loose pipe mounting
    • Failed air chambers
    • Valve closure force

    We diagnose the source and install pressure regulators, air chambers, or pipe securing solutions to eliminate the noise.

  • Do you install and repair gas lines?

    Yes — our licensed plumbers perform gas line installation, repair, and appliance hookups. This includes ranges, dryers, water heaters, grills, and fire features.


    All gas work includes leak testing, pressure verification, and code compliance inspections to ensure safe operation.

  • How fast can you respond to emergencies?

    We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service. Response time depends on call volume and proximity, but burst pipes, sewer backups, and active flooding calls receive highest dispatch priority.


    Our goal is to arrive quickly, stop damage, and begin repair stabilization immediately.
