Plumbing that comes with lake living
- Wells and pressure tanks. Plenty of lake homes run on a private well. We repair pumps, replace pressure switches and tanks, and test water. See well pump service.
- Septic systems. Slow drains on a big holiday weekend often mean the septic line or tank needs attention. See septic systems.
- Hot water for a full house. When the whole family is in for the weekend, a tankless water heater or a properly sized tank makes all the difference. See water heaters.
- Gas for outdoor living. Outdoor kitchens, grills, fire pits and gas logs. See gas lines.
- Irrigation and backflow. Lawn irrigation needs working backflow protection. See backflow testing.
Yearly maintenance for vacation homes
If your lake house sits empty for weeks at a time, small problems can go unnoticed until you arrive to a surprise. We offer yearly plumbing maintenance for vacation homes to make sure your plumbing is safe and ready for your arrival. We check for leaks, look over the water heater, well and septic connections, and talk with you about protecting the house during hard freezes.
Leaving for the winter? Shut off the main water or the well pump, leave some heat on, and ask us about draining exposed lines. A burst pipe in an empty house can run for days before anyone knows.

What does a yearly lake house maintenance visit include?
We check for leaks, look over the water heater, well and septic connections, and talk with you about protecting the house during hard freezes, so your plumbing is safe and ready when you arrive.
Can you install a tankless water heater in my lake house?
Yes. A tankless water heater keeps up when the whole family is in for the weekend, as long as it is sized for peak demand and the gas or electrical supply can support it. See water heaters.
Are Lake Oconee homes on wells or public water?
It depends on the community. Plenty of lake homes run on a private well, while others are on a community or county water system. We service both.
My lake house well pump stopped. Can you help this weekend?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, and we repair well pumps, pressure switches and tanks around the lake. See well pump service.
Why do drains back up on busy holiday weekends at the lake?
A full house sends far more water and waste through the septic system than usual. A tank that is due for pumping, a partly blocked line or a saturated drain field can back up under that load. Call us if it happens.
Do you offer leak detection for lake homes?
Yes. A leak in an empty vacation home can run for weeks unnoticed. We use ultrasonic leak detection and locating to find it without unnecessary damage. See leak detection.
What should I do before leaving my lake house for the season?
Know where the main shutoff and the well breaker are, consider turning off the water and setting the water heater for a long absence, keep heat set to protect pipes in winter, and arrange for someone to look in after storms or freezes.
Do you handle irrigation backflow testing near the lake?
Yes. Lawn irrigation needs working backflow protection, and many water systems require yearly testing. We test, repair and install backflow assemblies. See backflow testing.

Can you replace the water line to my lake house without tearing up the landscaping?
Often, yes. Trenchless water line replacement needs only a small hole at each end, so lawns, irrigation and stone walkways stay in place.

Yes. We serve restaurants, shops and other businesses around the lake, including drains, water heaters, gas lines and backflow. See commercial plumbing.
