PLUMBING FAQs
Q: What are some signs that indicate that I need a water line replacement?
A: Water lines do not last forever, that is a fact for just about anything. Always be on the lookout for signs you need to replace your water line. Those signs include soggy lawn spots, wet spots on the floor, a sudden drop in water pressure, and higher-than-normal water bills.
Q: How long do water heaters last?
A: The lifespan of your water heater will depend on the type of water heater and how well it is maintained. In general, conventional water tanks last 10 to 15 years. Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years or more.
Q: Why is my toilet always running?
A: There are several reasons that your toilet may be running. It can be because the toilet flapper has not closed fully, the flange is not properly sealed anymore, or the water keeps filling too high in the reservoir.
Q: Why does it smell every time I flush the toilet?
A: Your toilet may smell when you flush because of a broken airtight seal. Sewer gas is blocked from entering your home through the toilet by a U-shaped pipe that holds a certain amount of water every time you flush. If there is too much negative pressure, the water level can get too low, allowing gas to get in.
Q: Should I get a tankless water heater?
A: It will depend on your unique circumstances. It depends on your budget, space restrictions, how much maintenance you are willing to perform, and more. Tankless water heaters are great because they typically last longer, provide on-demand hot water, and need little maintenance. However, they do come with a higher initial price tag.
Q: What are some signs that indicate you need a gas line replacement?
A: Some signs that indicate you need to replace your gas line include rotten egg smells, bubbles in wet soil, and your garden plants dying. The most common sign is the smell of rotten eggs which is carbon monoxide leaking. You will need to get your gas line repaired or replaced immediately if you smell rotten eggs.
