How can I tell if my main sewer line is clogged?

The most common sign of a main line blockage is multiple drains backing up at the same time. For example, if you flush your toilet and water starts rising in your shower or bathtub, the issue is likely in your sewer line rather than a single pipe. Other warning signs include gurgling sounds coming from your drains and persistent foul odors throughout your home.

Is hydro jetting better than traditional drain snaking?

While a drain snake is excellent for punching a hole through a simple clog to get water moving, hydro jetting provides a more thorough clean. Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to scour the entire inner wall of the pipe, removing grease, minerals, and even tree roots. If you deal with recurring clogs, hydro jetting is often the more effective long term solution to keep your pipes clear.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?

We generally recommend avoiding store bought chemical cleaners. These products often contain harsh acids that can generate heat and cause damage to PVC pipes or corrode older metal plumbing. Furthermore, they rarely clear the entire blockage and often just move the problem further down the line. Professional mechanical cleaning or hydro jetting is a much safer and more reliable way to protect your plumbing system.

What’s Considered a Plumbing Emergency?

Emergency plumbing is anything that demands immediate attention. It may include burst pipes, fluctuating water supply, toilet or sink backups, flooding, frozen pipes, or sewer line and septic tank issues.

What Can Be Done to Prevent Plumbing Emergencies?

The first step you can take is to contact us for regular plumbing inspections. It can also be helpful to use separate containers for grease and other cooking materials that you would otherwise put down your drains.

What Should I Do Before a Plumber Arrives if I Have a Plumbing Emergency?

If possible, turn off the closest source of water so it's no longer leaking. If you're unable to reach the valve for the water, turn off the main water source for your home instead until one of our plumbing experts can arrive to assess the situation.

How Long Can I Expect a New Water Heater to Last?

If you have a traditional water heater, the average lifespan is 10 to 15 years. With a tankless water heater, however, you could enjoy 20 years or so of fresh, reliable hot water. You can effectively boost its longevity with regular water heater maintenance.

What Can Be Done to Extend the Life of My Current Water Heater?

If you have a water heater with a tank, have the anode rod checked every 2-3 years. It's a protective rod that keeps minerals and other harmful chemicals away from the tank walls. It's also a good idea to flush your water heater at least once a year to remove harmful minerals and sediment.

Why Should I Avoid Doing Repairs Myself?

If you're not familiar with water heaters, repairs can quickly turn into more work than what was expected. There's also the potential to create entirely new problems. You could also invalidate any warranties still in effect.

Isn’t DIY a more cost-effective option?

Many plumbing problems are too complicated for DIY solutions. If you've been battling slow drains or have a drain that's completely clogged, we have the tools and techniques to get it opened back up and flowing freely again.
