Georgia plumbing questions
Who licenses plumbers in Georgia?
Plumbers are licensed by the Georgia State Construction Industry Licensing Board, Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers. Ask for the license number and confirm it with the issuing agency before work starts.
What are the most common plumbing problems in Georgia?
The problems plumbers are called for most in Georgia are polybutylene pipe failures, tree roots in sewer lines and burst pipes during cold snaps.
When do plumbing problems peak in Georgia?
Freeze damage arrives in short bursts, typically a few nights in December or January, and it hits hard because pipes are lightly protected. Spring root growth then brings sewer backups in older neighborhoods. Disconnecting hoses before the first freeze prevents most burst hose bibs.
