Why is my faucet dripping?
A faucet drips because the internal cartridge or washers are likely worn out and need replacing. Dripping faucets can waste a lot of water and increase your bills, so they should be fixed as soon as possible.
What should I do if my toilet is constantly running?
A toilet that constantly runs is usually caused by a broken flapper or chain inside the tank. These are rubber parts that can wear out or get stuck over time and often need to be replaced.
How do I know if my sump pump is on the fritz?
Odd humming noises, no sound or activity when it should be running or water flooding your basement are all symptoms of a sump pump on the fritz. Regular maintenance is the best way to help ensure this doesn’t happen.
What should I do if I have a clogged drain?
Minor clogs can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain-safe cleaner, but persistent clogs may indicate a deeper blockage in the plumbing system. Professional drain cleaning may be necessary to fully remove the obstruction.
When Should I call a Professional Plumber?
You should contact a plumber if you experience recurring clogs, water leaks, low water pressure, sewage odors, or any plumbing emergency such as burst pipes or overflowing fixtures.
What are some common causes of slow draining in sinks or bathtubs?
Hair, soap scum or other debris can clog up the pipes and cause slow draining in sinks or bathtubs. Plumbers use a special tool called a drain snake to clear out these types of clogs safely.
What is the main water shutoff valve and why is it important to know its location?
The main water shutoff valve is the device that shuts off all of the water entering your house. It is important to know where it is located and that it works in case of a leak or other emergency where you need to stop the flow of water.
How can I prevent my pipes from freezing in the winter?
Pipes that are exposed should be insulated, leaks should be caulked and faucets can be allowed to drip if it gets extremely cold. Heating cables can also be installed on pipes for extra protection.
Do you offer emergency services?
Yes, we do offer emergency services outside of our regular business hours.
Why is my water pressure suddenly low?
Low water pressure can be caused by several issues, including clogged aerators, hidden leaks, corroded pipes, or problems with the municipal water supply.
