Thanks to all of you referring Skyline Plumbing & Septic! We greatly appreciate your business and refferals.

We did not get mail Tuesday, Wed. or Thursday on Coppermine Road in Hiram. I wonder how many businesses were counting on checks coming in the mail to cover payroll for Friday?

We are getting many calls where water pipes are frozen. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done until they thaw out. Sometimes the pipes will be ok and sometimes they will burst. Here are some things you can do to help thaw out pipes. Open up all of your cabinet doors under your sinks and turn up your heat. If you have a crawl space, you can put some heaters under there to heat the area. Some of water piping around the water water heaters in garage areas are have frozen due to the garage being unheated space. You can also put heaters beside the water heater to help thaw them ou

Skyline Plumbing and Septic would like to Congratulate Glenn Womack for recently passing the Journeyman Plumbing Exam. Glenn has been employed with Skyline since 1998 and has been a licensed by the State of Ga in Septic Pumping and Field line Installation for many years. To become a licensed Journeyman plumber requires at least 3 years of plumbing experience as well as passing a rigorous plumbing exam. It is not very often that you find a person who is licensed in both the plumbing and septic fields.

often times the ground will settle over where the field lines were installed especially if the lines were deep. Just because they settle doesn't mean that there is a problem. You should get some fill dirt and fill in those areas to keep an excessive amount of water from seeping into the lines. You can call the Paulding County Environmental Health Department and they can fax or email you a platt of where your septic system is located if you want to make sure where your tank and lines are at.

There are a lot of folks that have been having that problem this year. We have been pumping septic tanks and replacing drain fields since 1998 and this is the busiest year that we have ever had. Sometimes pumping out the tank will give your lines a little bit of time to dry out and get you by for a while. If you are going to try to get by with it, make sure that there is no water that stands over the field lines when it rains and try to reduce your water consumption if possible. This will help give the lines some time to dry out. Doing this may get you by for a while. But we have had mul

I have a building for rent at 380 Buchanan Hwy Dallas. Just off of Hwy 278. It is a 1200 square foot block building on a 1/4 acre lot.

You can always contact your local Environmental Health Department which usually has a drawing of where the system is. In Paulding County the number is 770-443-7877.

Explosion wasn't used in the example above as a bait word to scare the public; it was in fact used as a reasonable example of what will happen to a water heater if it's safety devices such as a T&P valve does not operate as designed when it should.

If you live in a home built before 1975 you probably have cast iron drain lines serving all your plumbing fixtures. Cast iron is very porous and grabs on to debris being washed down the drain a lot better than today's (PVC) Poly Vinyl Chloride which is not porous. In the next group of photo is cast iron that I cut out this week from a home that had drainage problems that would not permit drainage from the kitchen sinks and laundry room. A roto-rooter cuts through the build-up but is only a temporary fix. Best thing to do and what I recommend in all situations is get rid of the cast iron and yo

At that age it was probably a combination of things that went terribly wrong. The above picture of a T&P valve is a prime example of what probably failed and caused the explosion of the water heater. The T&P valve is spring loaded with a temperature sensing probe and it works in two ways. First way it works is the sensing probe will expand in length if the temperature of water inside the water heater get to be 210 degrees or more which presses against the spring which opens the valve allowing the extremely heated water to escape and be replaced with cold water that will cool the water
