Residential Plumbing Services

A sudden increase in your water bill could indicate a leak. Checking for dripping faucets, running toilets, or hidden leaks can help identify the problem.

Pro Tips:

1. Add food coloring to your toilet tank, wait 10 minutes, and check the bowl for color changes, which may signal a faulty seal.
2. Monitor your water meter’s red/black triangle: mark its position and observe for movement (without water usage) to detect leaks.

Regularly cleaning drains, using drain guards, and avoiding grease, hair, or large food debris disposal can prevent clogs.

Pro Tip: Annual use of root killer in toilets can reduce root growth. However, existing root intrusions require professional repair to prevent foundation damage.

Regular flushing to clear sediment, testing the pressure relief valve, and adjusting thermostat settings can extend your water heater’s lifespan.

Watch for unexplained water stains, mold, or high humidity.
Pro Tip: Check your water meter: if the dial/arrow moves while no water is in use, a leak is likely.

While they offer temporary relief, frequent use harms pipes. Opt for plungers or professional services for stubborn clogs. Avoid chemicals entirely with septic systems, as they damage aerobic pumps or disrupt natural bacteria in traditional systems.

For water/drain emergencies: Shut off the main water supply and call a plumber immediately.
For gas emergencies: If gas is detected, ventilate the area, contact a plumber, and alert the fire department or gas company. Note: Gas companies may disconnect service until repairs are verified.

Options include low-flow fixtures, tankless/heat pump water heaters, rainwater harvesting, and greywater recycling to minimize water waste and environmental impact.

Causes include corroded pipes, clogged aerators/flexes, faulty pressure regulators, sediment buildup, or leaks.

This is typically due to a worn flapper or malfunctioning fill valve. Adjusting or replacing these components usually solves the issue.
