Our Exceptional Emergency Plumbing Repair

Plumbing problems come in all varieties, but not all require calling a plumber for emergency repair. However, sometimes waiting means risking significant damage to your home.

Consider calling a plumber if you encounter any of these plumbing issues.

• Clogged Drains You might not think a clogged drain is a cause for alarm, but it can cause water to back up and overflow if left alone. Also, blocked drains are a breeding ground for bacteria and other pathogens, and you don’t want those ending up in your home.
• Burst Pipes Depending on the size of the leak, a burst pipe can leak hundreds of gallons of water into your house in a short time. When water leaks into the home, it can damage flooring, walls, carpets, personal property and cause the growth of mold and mildew.
• Low Water Pressure If you have low water pressure coming from one faucet, it’s typically a clog in that pipe that’s to blame. However, losing water pressure throughout the house usually means you have a clog or break in your main water line, which is a severe problem requiring a professional plumber to fix.
• Failed Water Heater Since hot water is necessary for day-to-day living, you can’t afford to be without it for long, especially in freezing temperatures. If your water heater suddenly fails to provide hot water or if the tank develops a leak, call for help immediately.

Reasons to Call a Plumber for Clogged Drain Repair

For many Brandon homeowners, the solution to a clogged drain is pouring a chemical drain cleaner down the drain and hoping for the best.

However, if you look at the ingredients of these products, you’ll find they’re full of highly toxic chemicals that are dangerous for you and your plumbing.

If you’ve never considered hiring a professional plumber to clean your drains, here are a few reasons you should.

• Chemical Drain Cleaners Are Dangerous As mentioned, chemical drain cleaners, while promoted as safe, are hazardous to your health and your pipes. Drain cleaners use chemicals that create heat to break up clogs, heat that can damage certain kinds of pipes causing them to burst. Another danger posed by these products is they don’t remove clogs, they break them up where they typically wind up deeper in your system. When chemicals remain trapped in your plumbing, they eat away at your pipes over time. Professional plumbers use techniques that are safe for your family, your plumbing, and the environment.
• Professional Plumbers Remove Clogs Chemical drain cleaners and home remedies may seem to work at first, but since none of these drain cleaning methods remove clogs, you usually end up dealing with the problem again down the road. Professional drain cleaners remove the gunk and other obstructions blocking your pipes, meaning clogs have less chance of forming later.
• Professional Plumbers Know Plumbing Systems Because of their training and experience, professional plumbers know how plumbing systems work, which means they’re better equipped to find the source of the clog than the average homeowner. Sometimes, tree roots are responsible for clogs, which are nearly impossible to detect unless you have the experience and necessary tools.

Instead of wasting money and damaging your plumbing with other drain cleaning methods, call the professionals at All Pro Plumbing for safe, effective clogged drain repair.

Signs You Need Hot Water Tank Replacement

Having on-demand hot water is a necessity for day-to-day living. However, sooner or later, you’ll have to replace your water heater.

Here are the most common signs your water heater may soon need replacing.

• Your Water Heater is Past its Prime Nothing lasts forever, and that includes your water heater. Although water heaters are robust machines that run for years without issue, they eventually wear out. The typical lifespan of a water heater is between 10 and 12 years. So, check the age of your water heater, and if it’s getting close to the end of its life, plan on replacing it soon.
• Rusty Water When rust-colored water comes out of your hot water tap, it could be a sign that your anode rod is bad, which is easy to fix. However, if the anode rod isn’t the problem, it’s likely the tank is rusting from the inside, in which case, the only solution is to replace it.
• Your Water Heater Makes Popping Sounds Another telltale sign that your water heater may be failing is if you hear popping or knocking sounds coming from the tank. As your water heater ages, sediment collects at the bottom of the tank and hardens, making it more difficult for the system to heat the water. If you notice this problem soon enough, you can usually fix it by flushing the tank; however, if it persists, it will cause the heater to fail.
• Leaks Your water heater undergoes thousands of heating cycles during its lifetime. These constant cycles cause the tank to expand, which can eventually weaken the metal and cause water leaks. Once the tank begins leaking, it’s more cost-effective to replace it instead of repairing it.
