Slow & Clogged Drains

Why Columbus Homeowners Call Hays Plumbing
Hays Plumbing was founded in 2018 by Ryan Hays after more than 20 years in the plumbing industry. Ryan holds master plumbing licenses in Georgia and Alabama and the company is licensed and insured for plumbing and gas work.
That experience matters when the visible symptom is only part of the problem. A leaking fixture can be a bad valve. A clogged toilet can be a deeper drain restriction. A water heater problem can involve pressure, gas, electrical or supply-line conditions.

Repair First. Replace When It Makes Sense.
A Better Way to Handle Plumbing Problems
Homeowners should know what failed, what the options are and why a repair or replacement is being recommended before work moves forward.
01
Find the Actual Failure
Start with the symptom, then inspect the connected fixture, valve, drain, water line, heater, pressure or sewer condition before jumping to a replacement.
02
Explain the Options
Homeowners deserve a clear explanation of what can be repaired, what should be replaced and what could create more damage if it is ignored.
03
Fix It Correctly
Complete the repair or installation with attention to the surrounding plumbing so the same failure does not return because the root cause was missed.

Common Plumbing Questions
Plumbing FAQs for Columbus, GA
Straight answers to the plumbing questions homeowners actually ask before they call.
Does Hays Plumbing repair and replace water heaters in Columbus, GA?
Yes. Hays Plumbing services tank and tankless water heaters, including diagnosis, maintenance, repair planning and replacement when the existing system is no longer reliable or cost-effective.
Does Hays Plumbing install tankless water heaters?
Yes. Tankless planning should consider household hot-water demand, gas or electrical capacity, venting, condensate, installation location and the condition of the existing plumbing before equipment is selected.
Can a plumber unclog a toilet that keeps backing up?
Yes. A recurring toilet clog may be inside the toilet, at the fixture connection or farther into the branch drain or sewer line. A plumber can determine where the restriction is before recommending the fix.
Why does my toilet keep running?
Common causes include a failed flapper, fill valve, flush valve, float adjustment problem, chain issue, mineral buildup or an older toilet that no longer seals properly.
Why are several drains backing up at the same time?
When multiple fixtures are slow or backing up, the problem can be farther down the drainage system rather than separate clogs at each fixture. A main drain or sewer restriction may need to be inspected.
When should a water heater be replaced instead of repaired?
The decision depends on tank age, leak location, corrosion, repair history, capacity, recovery performance, energy use and the cost of the failed component compared with replacement.
Does Hays Plumbing work on gas lines?
Yes. Hays Plumbing provides residential gas line installation, repair, inspection and rerouting. Ryan Hays holds master plumbing licenses in Georgia and Alabama, and the company is licensed and insured for plumbing and gas needs.
