Common Plumbing and Heating Questions
Explore answers to some of the most common questions about our plumbing and heating services.
What should I do if my water heater is leaking?
If your water heater is leaking, it’s important to turn off the power supply and water supply to the heater immediately. Then, contact a professional plumber to assess and repair the issue.
How often should I have my heating system serviced?
We recommend having your heating system serviced at least once a year to ensure it operates efficiently and safely, especially before the winter season.
How do I know if I have a leak?
Signs of a leak include unexpected increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, dripping sounds, or the smell of mold. If you notice any of these, contact us for a thorough inspection.
How can I prevent frozen pipes in winter?
To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes, keep your home heated, and let faucets drip slightly during extremely cold weather to keep water moving.
Why is my heating bill higher than usual?
Increased heating costs can often be traced to an outdated or inefficient system, as well as inadequate insulation. Having a professional assessment ensures these problems are identified and resolved, helping you save on energy bills and stay comfortable year-round.
What should I do if my boiler stops working?
If your boiler stops working, check the thermostat settings and power supply. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
How do I know if I need a new water heater?
Signs that you may need a new water heater include inconsistent water temperature, rusty water, and frequent repairs. A professional can help determine the best solution.
Can I perform plumbing repairs myself?
While minor repairs like unclogging a drain can be done yourself, it’s best to leave complex plumbing issues to professionals to avoid further damage.
What is the best way to maintain my plumbing system?
Regular maintenance includes checking for leaks, cleaning drains, and scheduling annual inspections with a professional plumber to ensure everything is in good working order.
