Frequently Asked Questions

If you're a homeowner, there are probably a lot of things you don't know about plumbing. That's okay - plumbing can be pretty confusing!

We'll answer some of the most common questions homeowners have about their plumbing system below.

Is it true that a toilet will eventually unclog on its own?

It can often seem like a good idea to wait for a clogged toilet to unclog on its own, but this just isn't true. A plumber is going to be able to fix the problem much more quickly and will guarantee that it won't come back in the future. Also, if you want your toilet to work properly, you need to give it a regular flush. Every time you use a plunger on a clogged toilet, you risk damaging it further and making the problem even worse!

What can you do if your water pressure is low?

If you feel like your hot water pressure is low, this may be because you have sediment build-up in your pipes. Sediment reduces the flow of water and makes it seem like less hot water comes out than there actually is. A plumber can clean out the sediment and increase your hot water pressure before you know it!

Do toilets ever blow up?

It's rare, but it is possible for toilets to explode. This happens when there is too much gas built up in the toilet bowl and the spark from the flushing mechanism causes it to ignite. If your toilet makes strange noises or if you see any evidence of gas buildup, call a plumber right away! They'll be able to fix the problem before it becomes dangerous.

What are some reasons why a tankless water heater might stop operating?

There are several reasons why a tankless water heater might stop working. One of the most common reasons is that the unit isn't getting enough power. If your tankless water heater isn't getting enough power, it might be because there's something wrong with your breaker or fuse box. A plumber can help you troubleshoot the problem and get your heater up and running again.

What does it take to repipe a home?

Homeowners often wonder if they need to repipe their homes. The answer isn't always black and white, but in most cases, a plumber can tell you if your home would benefit from repiping. There are several things that can go wrong with your plumbing system over time, and repiping is one way to address these problems. If your home is more than 30 years old, it's a good idea to get in touch with a plumber to see if repiping would benefit you!

When should a sewage line be replaced?

Sewage lines can deteriorate over time, and it's important that you replace your line if you notice any problems. A plumber will be able to help you assess your sewage line and determine when it should be replaced. Replacing the line sooner than later is better for your home and prevents future issues!

How do I figure out which water heater size is ideal for my home?

The size of the water heater you need for your home depends on a few different factors. One of the most important factors is how many people live in your home. If there are more than two people living in your home, you'll need a larger water heater. Another thing to consider is how often you use hot water. If you turn on your hot water multiple times a day, you'll want a larger unit to make sure you have enough energy to heat the water. If you're confused about which size of water heater is right for your home, a plumber can help! They'll be able to assess your home and determine what size of tank would work best for you.
