General Plumbing FAQs
1. What exactly does “plumbing” cover?
Answer: Plumbing includes all water supply and waste removal systems in your home. That means:
Supply lines for sinks, toilets & appliances
Drain, waste & vent (DWV) piping
Water heaters & boilers
Fixtures like faucets, toilets, showers
2. How do I know if I should DIY or call a professional?
Answer: Minor tasks—like replacing an aerator on a sink—can be DIY. But call us for:
Burst or leaking pipes
Recurring clogs after DIY attempts
Installation of new appliances (dishwashers, disposals)
Gas-line or water‐heater work
When in doubt, dial +1 877-680-2950 for fast advice.
3. Do you provide estimates before work begins?
Answer: Yes. We offer free, no-obligation estimates on all non-emergency jobs (kitchen/bath remodels, repiping, etc.). Your price is locked in—no surprises when we finish.
Kitchen Plumbing FAQs
Q: Why does my kitchen sink gurgle after running the dishwasher?
A: That “gurgling” often means a blocked vent or partial clog in your DWV system. We use camera inspection to pinpoint the blockage and clear it safely—no harsh chemicals.
Q: Can I install a garbage disposal myself?
A: While disposals look simple, improper wiring or misaligned mounts can cause leaks and void manufacturer warranties. Our certified plumbers handle disposals in one trip—fast, safe, leak-free.
Q: How can I prevent grease clogs?
A: Never pour cooking oil or greasy liquids down the drain. Instead, wipe grease into the trash and flush your sink monthly with a safe, enzyme-based cleaner. For professional help, check our <a href="/blog/preventative-plumbing-tips">Preventative Plumbing Tips</a>.
Bathroom Plumbing FAQs
Q: What causes a toilet to run continuously?
A: A worn flapper or faulty fill valve is usually the culprit. Replacing these parts restores the seal and stops water waste—saving you money every month.
Q: How do I fix low shower pressure?
A: Mineral deposits can clog your showerhead. Remove and soak it in vinegar overnight, or call us for a thorough system flush to clear scale in pipes and valves.
Q: My bathtub drain is slow—any quick fixes?
A: Try a drain snake to clear hair and soap scum. If that fails, our hydro-jetting service blasts away blockages without damaging pipes.
