Common Causes of Leaky Pipes
Corrosion and Wear
Copper pipe and galvanized steel can corrode over time, especially in homes older than 20 years. This leads to pinhole leaks and water damage.
The cost to fix a leaky pipe varies based on location and material. On average, a simple repair costs $150 to $350.
When to Replace Your Water Heater
Signs of Failure
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If you hear rumbling noises or see rusty water, it may be time for a replacement.
A new water heater improves efficiency and reduces energy bills. We install both traditional and tankless models.
Drain Cleaning vs. Hydro-Jetting
Standard drain cleaning uses a snake to break up clogs. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour pipe walls and remove buildup.
Hydro-jetting is more effective for stubborn grease or mineral deposits. It's safe for PVC pipe and older cast iron.
Sump Pump Maintenance Tips
Test your sump pump every spring by pouring water into the pit. If it doesn't activate, the float switch may be stuck.
A backup battery system ensures your pump works during power outages. This prevents basement flooding in heavy storms.
Understanding Backflow Preventers
A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing back into your clean supply. It's required by plumbing code for irrigation systems.
Annual testing ensures your backflow preventer functions correctly. We provide inspection and repair services.
