  • Why won't my toilet flush correctly?

    Improper flushing could be caused by the toilet's age, clogs, a malfunctioning flapper, or blockages in the drain.

  • What causes a faucet to drip?

    Leaks can arise from wear and tear on the faucet body, a deteriorated O-ring, or a cartridge that needs replacing.

  • How can I tell if there's a leak in my pipes?

    Signs of pipe leaks include higher water bills, visible water in crawl spaces or cabinets, and water stains on walls or ceilings. We offer professional plumbing inspections—contact us today.

  • Why are my plumbing fixtures making gurgling sounds?

    Gurgling can occur due to blockages in the sewer line or inadequate ventilation, compounded by the fixture's age.

  • What's preventing my washing machine from draining?

    The drain could be clogged with lint, hair, or other debris.

  • Is switching to a tankless water heater from an upright classic tank-style model a good idea?

    Yes, upgrading to a tankless water heater is beneficial for its energy efficiency and capacity to sustain higher hot water demand.

  • Why is there a sewage smell in my house?

    Sewage odors can result from an empty P-trap, incorrectly sealed toilets, broken sewers under the house, clogged vents, or drain backups.
