HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY PLUMBING SYSTEM INSPECTED?

It is recommended to have your plumbing system inspected at least once a year to catch any potential issues before they become major problems. Regular inspections can help identify leaks, clogs, or other plumbing issues early on, saving you money and preventing further damage.  

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON SIGNS OF A PLUMBING LEAK?

Signs of a plumbing leak include damp or discolored walls or ceilings, a musty odor, an unexplained increase in water bills, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to call a plumber to locate and repair the leak promptly.  

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY WATER HEATER NEEDS REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT?

Signs that your water heater may need repair or replacement include inadequate hot water supply, rusty or discolored water, strange noises coming from the tank, water leaks, or an old unit beyond its expected lifespan. A professional plumber can assess the condition of your water heater and recommend the appropriate course of action. 

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY TOILET IS CONSTANTLY RUNNING?

If your toilet is constantly running, it could indicate a faulty flapper valve, an issue with the fill valve, or a leak in the flush valve seal. Start by checking the flapper and adjust or replace it if necessary. If the problem persists, it’s best to call a toilet plumber to diagnose and repair the underlying issue. 

HOW CAN I PREVENT CLOGGED DRAINS?

To prevent clogged drains, avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the sink, use drain screens to catch hair and debris, run hot water periodically to flush out any buildup, and refrain from flushing non-biodegradable items or excessive toilet paper.
