Q&A

Can hard water in Savannah damage my new plumbing fixtures?

Yes, Savannah's hard water can accelerate wear on fixtures and appliances due to mineral scale buildup. At Putts Plumbing, when we install new faucets, shower systems, or water heaters, we can discuss and install preventative solutions like water softeners or scale-inhibiting devices. Proper installation with local water conditions in mind is key to extending the life of your investment and maintaining performance.

My drains are slow and I'm on clay soil. Could it be a sewer line issue?

Absolutely. Savannah's expansive clay soil shifts with moisture changes, which can put stress on and misalign underground sewer pipes, leading to cracks, blockages, or even collapses. If you're experiencing persistent slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage backups, it's a common local sign. Putts Plumbing offers thorough sewer line inspections using camera technology to diagnose the exact problem, followed by precise repair or trenchless replacement methods that are less disruptive to your yard.

Why is my water heater failing prematurely, and what's the best type for here?

Hard water scaling is a major culprit for premature water heater failure in our area, as sediment insulates the heating elements and corrodes the tank. For Savannah homes, we often recommend tankless water heaters or models with enhanced anti-scale components, as they handle hard water more efficiently. During installation, we can also flush your existing system or set up a new one with anode rods designed for our water chemistry, significantly extending its lifespan and improving energy efficiency.
