Here are some of the top questions we hear from homeowners:
Water heaters can make a lot of unusual noises from many things, including sediment buildup, metal expansion and contraction, water pressure issues, accumulation of scale, and faulty or loose components. If the noises are persistent, its best to consult a professional.
If you’ve noticed issues like dry skin, soap scum buildup, or have plumbing issues like recurring clogs, reduced water pressure, or leaky pipes, you may have hard water and need a water softener. A plumber can help assess your water and recommend and install your softening system.
Problems like plumbing system leaks, running toilets, inefficient fixtures and appliances, irrigation systems issues, increased seasonal water use, and high water pressure can all cause your water bill to creep up in price. Contact a professional to assist in identifying the root cause and install solutions.
Standing water, along with flooding in your yard, landscape damage, foundation issues, and basement flooding can be fixed by a drainage plan. Outdoor drainage installs can be used in your drainage plan to relieve water.
If you notice leaks and drips, poor performance from your showerhead or toilet, higher water bills, cracked or loose components, or outdated looks, you may need to upgrade your fixtures. If you’re not sure whether something can be repaired or replaced, contact a professional for help.
Prevent frozen pipes in the winter by insulating your pipes, keeping your thermostat above 55°F, letting your faucet drip, sealing drafts, and opening your cabinet doors below your sink. To minimize the risk of causing a leak if your pipes are frozen, a professional is essential.
