FAQs

  • What are the signs I might have a hidden water leak?

    Hidden water leaks can be tricky to detect, but common signs include a sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill, damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, a persistent musty odor, or the sound of running water even when no fixtures are in use. If you suspect a hidden leak, it's crucial to call a professional plumber promptly to prevent further damage.

  • How can I prevent common drain clogs in my home?

    Many drain clogs are preventable! In the kitchen, avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, and large food scraps down the drain; use a drain strainer. In bathrooms, use hair catchers in showers and tubs, and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Regular flushing with hot water can also help prevent buildup.

  • How long do water heaters typically last, and when should I consider replacement?

    The average lifespan of a traditional tank water heater is about 8-12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 20 years or more with proper maintenance. You might consider replacement if your water heater is older than 10 years, frequently needs repairs, produces rusty or discolored water, or isn't providing enough hot water.
