Well Pump Repair in Rex, GA

Who supplies water in Rex?

The Clayton County Water Authority provides water, sewer and stormwater service throughout the county. Its supply comes mainly from the Little Cotton Indian Creek, Shoal Creek and Pates Creek watersheds, with the Flint River as a supplemental source. Rex, historically also called Hollingsworth and centered on the historic Rex Mill and Rex Village, is on that system. A CCWA bill means no pump at your house; a capped casing and pressure tank would mean a private well.

What makes the water weak in a Rex home?

The median home in Rex dates to 1995, and about 20% predate 1980. Many original regulators have reached the age where they fail, which can make pressure weak, erratic or suddenly high. Leaks on the line between the meter and the house, valves left partly closed and debris in aerators are other common causes. Older homes may also have supply pipe that has narrowed with corrosion.

A quick test before you call: compare an outdoor spigot with an upstairs fixture. If both are weak, look to the regulator or the service line. If only the indoor fixtures suffer, the problem is likely inside the house, in a valve, a section of pipe or a fixture cartridge. Weak hot water alone points to the water heater instead. Write down what you find; it shortens the visit.

Where does CCWA's responsibility end?

CCWA's service line runs from the water main to the water meter. The line from the meter to the house belongs to the customer. CCWA's number, 770-960-5200, also takes after-hours reports of large leaks and sewer backups on its side. Everything past the meter, including a buried yard leak, is a plumber's job.

Permits for Rex addresses

Because Rex has no city government, plumbing permits come from Clayton County Community Development's building permits office. The number on this page is a free referral line, not a plumbing company; it connects you with an independent local plumber who works in Rex and can handle the county permit when one is needed. Mention the house's approximate age when you call.
