Checked twice. Done right.

A lot of plumbing issues start small. A slow drip under the sink. A toilet that refills by itself. A shower that suddenly loses pressure. A water heater that takes longer than usual to recover. A drain that keeps backing up even after you thought it was cleared.
Those little signs can sometimes point to something simple, but they can also be early warnings of a bigger issue. That is why it helps to have a licensed plumber take a closer look instead of guessing.
At Shanks Onsite Services, we help Douglasville homeowners figure out whether the issue is a quick repair, a replacement, or something that needs further diagnosis.
Shanks Onsite Services provides residential and light commercial plumbing services in Douglasville, GA and nearby areas.
We help with everyday plumbing repairs throughout the home, including leaking pipes, broken shutoff valves, fixture problems, toilet issues, water line concerns, drain problems, pressure issues, and more.
Some plumbing repairs are straightforward. Others require troubleshooting to find the real cause. We take time to look at the issue and explain what we find so you are not left confused.
Common plumbing repairs include:
Leaking pipes
Leaking shutoff valves
Broken or loose fixtures
Toilet repairs
Faucet repairs
Supply line issues
Drain concerns
Water heater-related repairs
Pressure problems
Not every plumbing problem has an obvious answer. A stain on the ceiling, a mystery leak, a sudden pressure change, a sewer smell, or a repeated clog may need a diagnostic visit.
A plumbing diagnostic allows a licensed plumber to inspect the issue, identify possible causes, and explain repair options.
Our diagnostic fee is $69. If you move forward with the repair through Shanks Onsite Services, the $69 is credited toward the repair. It is not added on top of the repair.
Diagnostics are helpful for:
Unknown leaks
Low water pressure
Running toilets
Repeated clogs
No hot water
Sewer smells
Water heater issues
Unexplained water damage
Plumbing concerns from a home inspection
Hot water problems are one of those things you notice quickly. If your water heater is leaking, making noise, running out of hot water, showing rust, or not heating properly, it may need to be checked.
We help Douglasville homeowners with traditional tank water heaters, water heater replacement, water heater connections, pans, valves, expansion tanks, and related plumbing items.
Signs your water heater may need attention include:
No hot water
Hot water running out too quickly
Water around the base of the water heater
Rust or corrosion
Popping or rumbling sounds
Inconsistent water temperature
Older unit with repeated problems
If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually needed. If the issue is with a valve, connection, or part, repair may be possible.

Toilet problems can be frustrating, especially when they keep coming back. We help with running toilets, leaking toilets, loose toilets, weak flushes, repeated clogs, toilet replacements, and toilet installs.
A toilet may need repair if the problem is with the flapper, fill valve, handle, supply line, or other internal parts. Replacement may make more sense if the toilet is older, cracked, loose, inefficient, or repeatedly clogging.
We can help you decide what is practical instead of just guessing.

A slow or clogged drain can be caused by hair, grease, soap buildup, wipes, food debris, old piping, roots, or a blockage deeper in the drain line.
If one drain is slow, the issue may be close to that fixture. If multiple drains are affected, or if the same clog keeps returning, it may be a larger drainage problem.
We help with common drain and clog issues, including:
Bathroom sink clogs
Kitchen sink clogs
Shower and tub drains
Toilet clogs
Recurring drain backups
Slow drains
Drain odors
Avoid relying on chemical drain cleaners, especially for recurring clogs. They may not solve the real issue and can be hard on certain plumbing systems.
Leaks can cause damage quickly, especially under sinks, around toilets, near water heaters, behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings. Even a small leak can lead to bigger problems if it is ignored.
If you see water, moisture, staining, bubbling paint, warped flooring, or a sudden increase in your water bill, it is worth having the issue checked.
If water is actively leaking, shut off the water if you can safely access the valve, then call or text us with photos or video if possible.
We install and replace faucets, shower heads, toilets, sinks, utility sinks, laundry fixtures, and other plumbing fixtures. We can also look at fixtures that are leaking, dripping, loose, corroded, or not working correctly.
Fixture issues may seem small, but dripping faucets, leaking supply lines, loose toilets, or poorly installed parts can cause damage over time.
We can help with both repairs and upgrades.
Low water pressure can be caused by clogged fixtures, old piping, leaks, supply issues, or a failing pressure regulator valve. High water pressure can also be a problem because it can stress toilets, faucets, pipes, water heaters, and appliances.
If your pressure suddenly changes, feels weak throughout the house, or seems too strong, it is a good idea to have it tested.
A pressure regulator valve, often called a PRV, helps control water pressure coming into the home. If it fails, your pressure may become too high, too low, or inconsistent.
Douglasville has a mix of older homes, newer neighborhoods, rental properties, and busy family homes. Different homes can have different plumbing concerns depending on age, water quality, previous repairs, and how the plumbing was installed.

No hot water
Whether the issue is urgent or something you have been putting off, we can help you figure out the next step.

If the job involves water lines, drain lines, gas lines, water heaters, leaks, sewer concerns, pressure issues, or anything that could cause water damage, it is usually best to call a licensed plumber.
A handyman may be able to help with cosmetic items or small household repairs, but plumbing work can lead to expensive damage if it is not diagnosed or repaired correctly.
If you are not sure who to call, send us a message with a description and photos. We can let you know whether it sounds like something we handle.
