Common Plumbing Disasters
While all plumbing problems need to be addressed quickly, some need to be repaired more urgently than others, as they can cause massive water damage.
Some of the most common major plumbing issues our experts encounter include:
- Burst pipes: A broken pipe can be one of the biggest and most serious plumbing emergencies. This can quickly lead to a massive amount of water flooding your home.
- Leaky faucets: While the dripping can be annoying, it can also lead to water damage – as well as cause mold and mildew to form if the leak continues for a long time.
- Clogged sinks: If your sinks aren’t draining – or are even overflowing – you need to schedule services quickly.
- Clogged garbage disposal: If you put something down your garbage disposal you weren’t supposed to, and now it’s clogged, you need an expert to remove the blockage before foul odors form.
- Clogged toilets: These can cause a smelly and gross mess in your house – and can even cause water damage if enough water gets on your floor.
- Malfunctioning water heater: If you are suddenly left without hot water due to a broken water heater, you need our experts to inspect your unit and perform hot water heater repairs. You should also schedule emergency services if your unit is leaking.
- Backed-up sewer system: Another major emergency is a backed-up sewer system. This is messy, and smelly, and can cause health risks for your family. When this occurs, you need emergency help ASAP!
How To Clean Your Water Heater Tank
To ensure the water flowing through your pipes is safe, it’s essential to clean your water heater tank regularly.
When a professional cleans your tank, you can expect them to first remove the drain valve and insert a brush into the tank. They will then use the brush to scrape the bottom of the tank and its sides. If your tank hasn’t been cleaned in a long time, it can take the professionals a while to remove the debris.
After the debris has been removed, they will place a bucket below the drain opening and wash the tank out with water to remove the debris you cleaned from the bottom and sides of the tank. They will keep the water running until the water that comes out is clean and clear.
Our residential plumbing contractors provide electric and gas water heater services, and perform hot water tank replacements and leaking water heater repairs. We also provide instant hot water heater repairs, tankless water heater installations, and point of use water heater services.

Tips To Avoid Clogged Drains
Don’t get stuck showering in standing water due to a clogged drain. Instead, avoid this by following these tips from the experts at our drain cleaning company:
- Keep garden debris and landscaping items like dead leaves, twigs, and grass out of your drains.
- Don’t put greasy foods and substances down your drain. This can include cooking oil, fat, grease, and similar substances.
- Prevent hair from going down the shower drain. Hair can trap other debris in your drain, creating clogs. You can avoid this by installing a screen over your drains to collect the hair.
- Use a drain strainer over your garbage disposal to prevent the wrong foods from falling into the disposal.
