Picking the right plumber can be a daunting process. Many homeowners are so desperate in the moment that they jump into a relationship without asking the right questions or getting to know the company on the other end of the phone. Below are three common mistakes Atlanta, Georgia homeowners make when looking for a plumbing, heating, and cooling expert. They care more about cost than quality Often times homeowners will search for the cheapest plumber instead of looking for a qualified plumber. Many plumbing, heating, and cooling “specialists” offer low pricing because they aren’t licensed or insured. Often times these “specialists” will show up, take your money, and either leave before the job is done, or worse yet, make the problem worse. Then you will call them back, they will charge you more money, and possibly leave you hanging once again. It is so important that you make sure the company you are working with is licensed and insured. A great plumbing, heating, and cooling expert will also be upfront about his or her pricing and put an estimate in writing. They should also be able to offer different options based on your budget, especially if you need new equipment. Instead of looking for a cheap plumber, look for a plumber who will offer you value for your money. Fulton is known for our reliable Client Assurance Pricing.

If you are planning to leave your Atlanta, Georgia home for an extended period of time during the colder winter months, or if you have a vacant property, it is important that you take some reasonable measures to protect the plumbing in your home. Frozen pipes are not unheard of in Atlanta, Georgia. And as the weather continues to surprise us, freezing temperatures are becoming more common. There are some simple steps you should take toprevent your pipes from freezing so that when you return you won’t come home-sweet-home to a not- so- sweet surprise. How do pipes freeze? When water reaches temperatures of 32°F or below it freezes. When water freezes it expands. When water freezes inside a pipe it pushes against the wall of the pipe with some pretty impressive force. If the pipe is weak then the pipe or the pipe seals can leak, fracture, break, or burst. If there is a continued supply of water to the pipe it can dump hundreds of gallons of water in as little as an hour. Imagine coming home to that disaster and water bill! The average insurance claim for water damage from a pipe burst is 15,000 dollars. A frozen pipe in Atlanta, Georgia may seem like a bad punch line to a joke, but is isn’t funny when it happens to you.
