What We Do
Our offerings include:
-
Q: What are the signs that my sewer line is clogged?Common signs of a clogged sewer line include slow draining sinks or bathtubs, gurgling sounds from the drains, unpleasant odors, and water backing up from drains or toilets. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact a professional plumber immediately to prevent further damage.
-
Q: How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?It's recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year for preventative maintenance. However, if you experience frequent clogs or have a high-usage environment like a restaurant, more frequent cleanings may be necessary.
-
Q: What causes pipes to freeze and how can I prevent it?Pipes can freeze when temperatures drop below freezing, especially if they are not properly insulated. To prevent freezing, insulate your pipes, keep your home adequately heated, and allow a trickle of water to run through faucets during extreme cold spells.
-
Q: How can I prevent sewer backups?To prevent sewer backups, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, such as wipes and feminine hygiene products, down the toilet. Regularly clean your drains and sewer lines, and consider installing a backwater valve to prevent sewage from backing up into your home during heavy rainstorms.
-
Q: What should I do if I have a plumbing emergency?If you have a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or severe leak, shut off the main water supply immediately to prevent further damage. Then, contact a professional plumber for emergency repair services.
-
Q: How can I reduce the risk of clogs in my kitchen sink?To reduce the risk of clogs in your kitchen sink, avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain, use a strainer to catch food particles, and regularly flush the drain with hot water. Also, consider scheduling regular professional drain cleanings to maintain optimal flow.
-
Q: What are the benefits of regular plumbing maintenance?Regular plumbing maintenance helps to identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, extends the lifespan of your plumbing system, improves efficiency, and prevents costly repairs. It also ensures that your plumbing is operating safely and reliably.
-
Q: How do I know if I need to replace my sewer line?Signs that you may need to replace your sewer line include frequent clogs, slow drains, sewage backups, and foul odors. A professional plumber can conduct a video inspection to assess the condition of your sewer line and determine if replacement is necessary.
-
Q: Can tree roots damage my sewer lines?Yes, tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines through small cracks or joints, causing blockages and damage. Regular maintenance and inspections can help detect root intrusion early. If tree roots are a problem, consider having a plumber install a root barrier or use chemical root treatments.
-
Q: What is the best way to handle a minor clog?For minor clogs, start by using a plunger to try and dislodge the blockage. If that doesn’t work, use a drain snake or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your pipes.
-
Q: How can I maintain my water heater?To maintain your water heater, regularly check for leaks, flush the tank annually to remove sediment build-up, inspect the anode rod and replace it if necessary, and ensure the temperature is set to 120°F to prevent scalding and improve efficiency.
