  • What do I do if I have a plumbing emergency?

    Immediately shut off the main water valve and contact a licensed plumber.

  • Why is my water bill high this month?

    Many times, higher water bills can be a clue that you have a leak, maybe in your toilet or another fixture. Replacing your flapper, fill valve, or adjusting the internal components may resolve the issue. Otherwise, you may have a more serious problem.

  • What can I do to keep my pipes from freezing?

    A few simple steps can keep your pipes from freezing. First, ensure pipes are insulated. Second, disconnect your garden hose and install a hose bib cover. Finally, run a small, steady stream of water through the hot and cold of a faucet when it’s really cold out.

  • What is the best way to clean a clogged drain?

    Please do not use chemicals in your drains, as they can cause further damage to your pipes. Usually, a plunger, plumber’s snake, or specialized enzyme treatment can fix the issue. Best practice is to have your drains professionally cleaned and treated with an enzyme at least once a year.

  • Why do my pipes make a knocking sound?

    You may have high water pressure or loose pipes that are not strapped to your studs behind the drywall.

  • Why is my water pressure low?

    Minerals can build up in your pipes, causing low water pressure, you may have a leak in the system, or even issues with the local water supply. We can figure it out for you.

  • When do I need to replace my water heater?

    Standard tank-style water heaters can last 10–12 years with proper annual maintenance. After that point, you may experience a decrease in the hot water supply, performance issues, or even leaks from rust in the tank.

  • Should I replace my tank water heater with a tankless water heater?

    Tankless water heaters have a much higher efficiency rating than a standard tank style water heater, which means you will save money on your utility bills. Some utility companies even offer rebates for installing tankless water heaters. With a tankless water heater, you can run every shower in your home, fill up the tub, run the dishwasher, and even run the washing machine, all at the same time, with no loss of hot water. You can have all the hot water you want whenever you need it. And, many tankless water heaters are warrantied for up to 15 years.

  • Can I put anything in my garbage disposal?

    Try to keep grease, fat, potato skins, stringy vegetables (celery/asparagus), bones, and coffee grounds out of your garbage disposal. Always run lots of hot water when you use the disposal.

  • How do I choose a good plumber?

    Most importantly, you want to be certain that anyone who works on your home is properly licensed and insured.
