From emergency plumbing services to slab leak repair, we’ve put together a comprehensive run down of questions we hear most often.
How do I unclog a stubborn drain at home?
There are several methods to unclog a drain, including using a plunger, a drain snake, or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Choose a method based on the severity of the clog.
What should I do if my toilet is constantly running?
A running toilet can be caused by a faulty flapper, fill valve, or flush valve. Check these components and replace any that are worn or damaged. If in doubt, consult a plumber.
How can I prevent frozen pipes during winter?
To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes, keep cabinets under sinks open to allow warm air circulation, and let faucets drip during extremely cold weather. Disconnect outdoor hoses and shut off exterior water sources.
Why does my water heater produce insufficient hot water?
Inadequate hot water may be due to a malfunctioning heating element, a sediment buildup in the tank, or a faulty thermostat. Regularly flush the tank and consider professional inspection if problems persist.
What are the signs of a water leak in my home?
Signs of a water leak include unexplained increases in water bills, water stains on walls or ceilings, and the sound of running water when no faucets are open. If you suspect a leak, it's crucial to address it promptly to prevent water damage.
How do I fix a dripping faucet?
Dripping faucets are often caused by worn-out washers or O-rings. Turn off the water supply, disassemble the faucet, and replace the faulty components. If the issue persists, consider seeking professional help.
What can I do to prevent sewer line backups?
Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet, such as wipes or hygiene products. Additionally, be cautious about what goes down kitchen drains to prevent grease buildup. Regular sewer line inspections can catch potential issues early.
How can I improve water pressure in my home?
Low water pressure may be due to sediment buildup in pipes, a partially closed water shut-off valve, or a malfunctioning pressure regulator. Check these components and clean or adjust them as necessary.
Why does my garbage disposal have a foul odor?
Foul odors from a garbage disposal can result from food debris trapped in the disposal or the drain pipe. Run a mixture of ice and citrus peels through the disposal to clean and refresh it.
