What Services Are Included in Plumbing Repair?

Plumbing repair spans several services designed to ensure the safe and optimal functioning of a home or business’s water systems. Repair services include addressing leaks in pipes and faucets, unclogging drains and toilets, and fixing or replacing damaged and outdated plumbing fixtures. Appliances like dishwashers, showers, sinks, and toilets all can be managed by plumbers.

However, with smart appliances and water and waste management systems, repairs require a more delicate hand and careful management of different parts. Smart toilets, tankless water heaters, and greywater recycling systems can also be addressed by plumbers, and with built-in leak detection, your technicians can respond swiftly to help.

Can You Repair Frozen or Burst Pipes in the Winter?

When pipes freeze, the pressure buildup can cause cracks or even complete bursts, leading to serious issues. Our team will carefully assess the damage, safely thaw the frozen pipes, and repair or replace any parts that are broken. To help prevent future problems, we’ll also suggest practical solutions like adding insulation, installing pipe wraps, or other preventative measures to protect your plumbing during freezing temperatures.

Do You Repair Both Tank and Tankless Water Heaters?

We service both traditional tank-style and modern tankless water heaters. If you’re having issues like no hot water, strange noises, or leaks, we’ll inspect the unit, identify the issue, and make the repair. That might include replacing heating elements, thermostats, ignition systems, or flushing out sediment. If your system is too old or damaged, we’ll also help you decide whether a replacement makes more sense.

How Do Plumbers Manage Residential Repairs?

Like any repair service, plumbers need to gather information and run diagnostics before beginning a repair. Using tools like pipe and drain cameras allows your plumber to gather information before creating a tailored service plan to restore your system’s functionality.

Once the issue has been identified, your plumbing company will propose a solution that aligns with the severity of your needs and suits your budget. We’ll adhere to safety standards and industry regulations and work with attention to detail to ensure all repairs meet local building codes.

A residential plumbing repair expert typically adheres to the following process:

• Turning off the water supply
• Opening faucets to drain the system
• Diagnostics/drain camera inspections to identify the cause of the issue
• Gaining access to the affected area
• Repairing or replacing the faulty component

• Restoring the water supply
• Testing the repair
• Worksite cleanup
• Waste material disposal

Do You Have To Open the Walls To Repair Plumbing?

If a leak is found, our plumber will likely need to cut into the drywall to access the damaged pipe. Don’t worry, we’ll do our best to keep the cuts as small as possible to minimize the mess. Depending on the issue, our plumber might replace just a small section of the pipe, or if the damage is more extensive, a larger portion of the plumbing system may need to be repaired.

What Should You Do While Waiting for the Plumber To Arrive?

If you’re dealing with a plumbing issue and have a plumber on the way, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep the situation from getting worse:

• Shut off the water at the fixture or main valve to stop leaks and prevent flooding.
• Turn off the water heater if there’s a major leak, or the tank is involved.
• Clean up standing water with towels or a wet/dry vacuum to reduce the risk of water damage.

• Clear the work area so our plumber has easy access to the issue.
• Avoid using affected fixtures to keep pressure off the system.

Taking quick action can minimize damage and help our plumber fix the problem faster once they arrive.

How Can You Prevent Plumbing Problems in the Future?

The best way to avoid plumbing problems is through regular maintenance and early attention to small issues.

That includes:

• Avoiding dumping grease or food waste down drains
• Using drain screens in showers and sinks
• Not flushing anything besides toilet paper

• Checking for slow leaks or damp spots under sinks
• Flushing your water heater once a year
• Scheduling periodic inspections, especially for older homes

If you’re unsure what your system needs, we can suggest a maintenance plan that fits your home.
