If water is only getting warm, it may be that your water heater is set too low or there could be a water leak. To check the water heater, make sure your water heater is set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or in some cases may even require 140 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water temperature is correct, water heater repair may be necessary. If you suspect there is a water leak, water leak detection can help find the source of the issue.

Tankless water heaters are a great option for some homes, but they do require more maintenance than traditional water heaters. If your tankless water heater suddenly stops working while you have no hot water, it is likely because there was an issue with the electronics or one of the heating elements in the unit. In almost all cases, these issues can be fixed easily with a water heater repair.

Water leaks can be difficult to find, especially if they’re hidden under concrete. If you suspect that you have a water leak, there are a few methods you can use to try and locate it.

You can also use a moisture meter to detect water on the other side of walls or floors. If you’re having trouble locating the water leak, contact a plumbing professional for help. They have the experience and tools necessary to find and fix water leaks quickly.

Grease is made of fat, oil and grease. When this mixture enters the drain it gets harder to clear them out with water because they form layers for each other. The best way to get rid of grease from your sink or shower head would be to use boiling hot water which melts down the fat and oil in clogged drains. Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain and wait for it to work its way through. If that doesn’t work, pour half of a bottle of baking soda mixed with hot water into the clogged drain. Follow up by pouring in one cup of vinegar. Cover the drain with a plug or cloth and let the mixture sit for 30 minutes. After that, pour hot water down the drain. If the clog is still present, use a plunger. If that doesn’t work, it might be time to call in the professionals.

PEX plumbing is used in homes and businesses for water supply and distribution. However, there are a few disadvantages associated with using PEX tubing including: - The need to use transition fittings (and potential leaks) when transitioning between different types of pipes. - It's more difficult to repair than other materials such as copper or cast iron. - It cannot be used for outdoor plumbing applications due to its susceptibility to damage from sunlight exposure and chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, and chlorine bleach. If you have any other questions about PEX plumbing, don't hesitate to contact us! We would be happy to help!

Many times homeowners insurance will cover the costs of repairing a sewer line. However, it is important to check with your individual policy to see if this is specifically covered. In some cases, the damage may be considered an act of nature and not be covered by your insurance policy. If you are unsure, it is always best to speak with your insurance agent before beginning any sewer line repair project.

If you don't repair a broken sewage pipe, the wastewater will flow out of the pipe and could contaminate the soil and groundwater.
