Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I prolong the life of my plumbing fixtures and water heater?
The best way to prolong the life of your plumbing fixtures and water heater is to install a water softener or water conditioner in your home. These systems are designed to stop scale build up, protect pipes and fixtures, and make all appliances that use water more efficient.
- How can I prevent leaking pipes?
Every once in a while, take time to inspect your pipes. If you find rust or lime, this is a good indication that a leak is starting. If this happens, contact us to address the problem. You could stop a small problem before it turns into a larger one.
- What happens if my hot water heater is leaking?
Leaking water heaters usually indicate the bottom of the tank has rusted. There are really no repairs for this type of problem. Contact us for an estimate on a new water heater.
- What can I put in my garbage disposal?
Almost all biodegradable food waste can be fed into disposals. They should not be used to grind clam or oyster shells, cornhusks, or other material with high fiber content. Never put non-food materials through a disposal such as glass, plastic, or metal. Grinding eggshells or ice helps clean the disposer by scraping away stubborn deposits.
- Should my heating system be checked every year?
Yes! The safety controls on your heater should be checked at the beginning of every heating season. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way.
