Water Heater Repair and Replacement
When one of our plumbers replaces your water heater, making sure the water heater complies with federally mandated energy-efficiency standards and is the right fit for your needs are their concerns. A new water heater is an expensive purchase that will last you 11 to 20 years, but that upfront cost is balanced by the 16% it saves you on your water bills. We will help you decide whether to replace your current system with a conventional, tankless, or hybrid water heater, depending on your home and the water demand.
Call us for water heater repairs if your water heater is not supplying adequate hot water, taking a long time to heat water, leaking from the water tank, or making odd noises. Call us for maintenance, service, or replacement of your water heater.
Clogged Drains
The signs you have a clogged drain are water backup in the sink drain, pools forming around the shower drain, water draining slowly, toilet water bubbling, drains making gurgling sounds, and a foul smell coming from your drains. To clear your drains, turn on your faucet and fill your sink partially. Be sure the plug the other drain if you have a double sink and plug the overflow hole in the bathroom sink. Use a cap plunger several times to remove the clog. If the clog is in your toilet, use a flange plunger. Move the plunger in a vertical direction, moving straight up and down to get proper suction.
Stay away from using corrosive chemicals when dealing with clogged drains. These chemicals may seem like a magic fix, but they cause corrosion in the pipes and lead to much larger problems, like leaking pipes. If you have persistent clogs, it may be a symptom of a bigger issue. Call Mr. Rooter to talk about our affordable maintenance plans or any plumbing issues you have.
