It takes a professional plumber with an active Georgia license and years of experience to address plumbing problems and solve them quickly and professionally.

As an example of what kinds of problems can arise in plumbing systems, consider polybutylene pipes. PB is a specific kind of plastic that many construction companies used in the South up until the mid 1990s. Shell Oil made and sold the material for use in home and commercial plumbing. However, it became clear over time that pipes made from PB has structural weaknesses.

Over time, the water and its dissolved compounds would erode the interior of the pipe, and it would leak. PB pipe is very likely to start leaking at some point due to this weakness. That means an experienced plumber needs to come in, recognize the problem, and replace the pipes with a different plastic. Newer houses built since 1995 generally do not have PB because in that year, Shell Oil lost a class action lawsuit and had to pay damages to people who had PB pipes as a result of the leaking.

Another example of a significant plumbing problem is a blockage in a pipe that carries sewage away from the house. These pipes are among the most likely to clog because of what they carry. There are several sources of such blockages. Sometimes, too much material accumulates and sticks in one spot, such as a bend. This may be easy to solve if it is not too far into the pipe, but otherwise it is likely to take special equipment and training to remove the obstruction.

At other times, tree roots grow into these pipes. They grow inside the pipe, blocking it off and also creating a growing hole in the side of the pipe. This can be a significant problem because the pipe's integrity is compromised. First, you need to remove the root itself to clear the pipe. In the long run, it will also be necessary to replace the pipe. A root can expand into the pipe several times before this replacement is immediately required, so this is not necessarily an emergency, but it takes a skilled plumber to make that judgement.
