  • Why do my pipes make a knocking noise?

    Knocking noises in pipes often indicate a need to replace the pressure-reducing valve or secure loose pipes. Another possible cause is the absence of an expansion tank in your water heater. If you're experiencing these noises, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our plumbing company for a thorough assessment.
  • How often should I have my drains cleaned?

    For residential properties, we advise scheduling a drain cleaning appointment with our residential plumbing company as soon as you notice any signs of slow drainage. This proactive approach can prevent more serious issues from developing.
  • How do I know if I have a water leak?

    Water leaks may manifest as basement moisture, ceiling water stains, or unexpectedly high water bills. It's crucial to address leaks promptly, as the typical household leak can waste approximately 180 gallons weekly, amounting to about 9,400 gallons annually, according to the EPA. If you suspect a leak in your home, we encourage you to contact our plumbing company to arrange an inspection with a local plumber.

  • What can I do to prevent drain clogs?

    To prevent drain clogs, refrain from disposing of grease, oil, or food waste down your sink. Our plumbing company also recommends installing drain screens to catch debris and scheduling regular maintenance to keep your drains functioning optimally.

  • How do I know if my water line is damaged?

    Signs that you have a damaged water line include high water meter readings and bills, discolored water, water damage and moisture on drywall, dark lawn patches, a continuous wet location on the exterior of the dwelling, corroded piping, and low water pressure throughout the dwelling.

  • What does it mean if my sewer line starts to smell?

    There are many reasons you could be experiencing a sewage smell. Some common causes for sewage smells include a clog in the line, a clogged vent, a breakage in the line, or even a dry water trap. If you're experiencing a sewage smell, we recommend having a plumbing inspection performed in order to locate and repair the cause of the smell. Call our plumbing company today to request an estimate!
