Signs of a hidden plumbing leak include water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint or wallpaper, musky odors, and a sudden increase in water bills. If you suspect a hidden leak, contact us for a thorough inspection.

There are a few things you can do to prevent pipes from freezing:

• Insulate exposed pipes to keep them warm
• Drip faucets to prevent freezing
• Keep cabinets under sinks open to allow warm air to circulate
• Disconnect garden houses and drain outdoor faucets

Call us if you suspect you have a frozen pipe in your home or business.

If you have a water leak, locate the main shut-off valve and turn off the water. Mitigate damage and clean up water to prevent further issues. Contact us to come check it out.

The main shut-off valve is typically located in the basement or crawlspace, near the water meter or where the water line enters your home, and possibly in an outdoor pit or valve box for some properties. Familiarize yourself with this location in case of a water emergency.

Simple faucet or fixture replacements can be DIY projects if you have basic plumbing skills. However, for complex plumbing or if you're unsure, you can contact us. Improper installation can lead to leaks or damage.

If you suspect a gas leak, leave your home immediately and avoid using any electric devices or open flames. Do not operate light switches or your phone indoors. Contact your gas company or emergency services from a safe location.

Signs of a failing water heater include rusty or discolored water, frequent leaks, strange noises, and reduced hot water supply. If your water heater is over 10 to 15 years old and displaying these issues, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Repairing a leaking tank is generally not advisable as it can be a sign of irreversible corrosion. In most cases, it is better to replace the water heater to prevent any flooding or damage.

A sulfur or rotten egg smell is often caused by bacteria reacting to the anode rod in the tank. Flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod can help eliminate the odor. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
