Frequently Asked Questions

For minor clogs, try using a plunger or baking soda and vinegar mixture first. For more stubborn clogs, you may need to call a professional plumber.

A constantly running toilet is usually caused by an issue with the flapper valve or fill valve inside the tank. Replacing these inexpensive parts can often fix the problem.

Insulate exposed pipes, seal air leaks near pipes, and let faucets drip slightly on extremely cold nights to prevent freezing.

Rumbling or popping noises often indicate a buildup of sediment in the tank. Flushing the tank regularly can help prevent this issue.

Most faucets, showerheads, and toilets should be replaced every 10-15 years, while water heaters typically last 8-12 years.

Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and harm the environment. We recommend trying enzymatic or biodegradable cleaners first.

Slow drains are often caused by hair, soap scum, or object clogs in the p-trap under the sink. Removing the p-trap and cleaning it out may fix the issue.

Installing low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators, fixing leaks promptly, and only running full loads of laundry/dishes can significantly reduce water usage.

Most municipalities require permits for major plumbing projects like remodeling bathrooms or replacing water heaters or supply lines.

Low water pressure can result from clogged aerators, water leaks, failed pressure regulators, or corroded pipes. Having a plumber inspect and service your plumbing system can restore proper pressure.
