Trusted Plumbing Service in Dothan, AL 36303 - Chris Shirah Plumbing

Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all taps are off, hot spots on floors, or cracks in walls/floors. Given Dothan's soil, slab leaks are a frequent concern. We use non-invasive electronic leak detection and line location equipment to pinpoint the leak accurately. Our repair methods prioritize minimizing damage to your home's foundation, often using trenchless pipe lining or spot repair techniques where possible.

Absolutely. Dothan's mineral-rich water causes scale buildup that can clog aerators, reduce water pressure, and wear out moving parts prematurely. When we install a new faucet, shower system, or water pipe, we can discuss preventative options like whole-house water softeners or point-of-use filters. This protects your investment, improves appliance lifespan, and makes cleaning easier.

It could be both. Hard water scale can cement food particles inside the disposal, reducing efficiency and causing grinding noises. We'll first inspect and clean the unit, which often solves the problem. If the hard water has caused significant corrosion or motor damage, we can expertly install a new, more powerful disposal and may recommend a water softening solution to prevent future issues.
