Emergency Plumbing Repair: When to Call

For some plumbing problems like burst pipes, it’s easy to know that you need an emergency repair. However, other times, you may think waiting is fine, only to learn it’s caused significant property damage.

Here are the most common situations where calling a plumber is warranted.

• Burst Pipes As mentioned, burst pipes aren’t something to ignore. It doesn’t take long for hundreds of gallons of water to spill into your home when a pipe breaks, so the sooner you call for repairs; the less the damage will be.
• Backed Up Sewage Sewage in your home is a health hazard; it brings bacteria, dangerous pathogens, and germs. Clogs can cause sewage backup in your main sewer line or a break in the pipe. Calling a professional plumber is the quickest way to diagnose and repair the problem.
• Overflowing Toilet If you can’t solve a clogged or overflowing toilet yourself, call a plumber as soon as possible. Water overflowing from the toilet contains harmful bacteria, making it a health risk and can damage your floors.
• No Water If the water suddenly stops, it impacts virtually everything you do, including cooking, washing, bathing, and bathroom use. Depending on where the problem is, you’ll probably need a professional plumber to sort it out.
• Clogged Drains You might not think a clogged drain warrants calling a plumber for help, but some clogs cause pressure to build up in your pipes, leading to leaks and bursts. Also, if a clog persists, you risk water damage and mold growth if it overflows.
• Water Heater Failure Another common plumbing problem requiring immediate help is if your water heater fails, especially if it begins leaking.
• DIY Plumbing Gone Wrong Many homeowners like to save money by doing household repairs themselves, which is admirable. However, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can end up causing more damage, and that’s especially true with plumbing.

Whatever your plumbing emergency, you can count on the professionals at All Pro Plumbing to arrive quickly and return your life to normal as soon as possible.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

For most Plant City homeowners, the water heater is out of sight and out of mind. When you ignore major appliances like your water heater, it’s easy to miss early warning signs of impending trouble until it’s too late.

Here are the most common signs your water heater may be failing, and it’s time to call for repair or replacement as soon as possible.

• Loss of Water Volume A clear sign that something’s not right with your water heater is getting a lower volume of hot water than before. If you’ve noticed your hot showers in the morning don’t last as long, or the water takes much longer to get hot, you may have a bad heating element, or it might be time for a replacement.
• Spike in Energy Bills Aside from your heater or furnace, your water heater accounts for a significant portion of your home’s energy expenses. When your water heater loses efficiency, it uses more energy to do its job than before, causing your energy bills to rise.
• Rusty Water If rust-colored water comes out of the hot water spigot, it usually means the hot water tank is rusting from the inside. Once this process begins, there’s no stopping it, and you’ll have to replace the system soon.
• Frequent Repairs Another clue your water heater is on its last legs is if you’re repairing the system more frequently. If you’re repairing your water heater twice a year or more, it’s better to put that money towards a new system instead of trying to stretch out the lifespan of your current unit.

Reasons to Hire a Drain Cleaning Company

There’s no adage that rings more true than, “Whatever can go wrong, will,” and it’s especially true of your plumbing. When you think about all of the stuff going down your drains everyday, it’s a wonder they’re not constantly clogged.

However, when drains do clog, most homeowners want a quick fix as they get with over-the-counter drain cleaners. However, there are reasons to forego chemical cleaning products and home remedies and call a professional plumber instead, and here are just a few.

• Professional Drain Cleaning is Safer Before pouring a chemical drain cleaner down the drain, take a minute and read the ingredients. Most of these products contain harsh chemicals like hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, lye, and bleach, just to name a few. These chemicals are highly corrosive to certain pipes and extremely dangerous if inhaled or spilled on your skin. Professional plumbers rely on drain cleaning methods that are safe for your pipes and the environment.
• Professionals Provide More Thorough Cleaning Unlike chemical drain cleaners and other home remedies that break up clogs and push the debris deeper in the system, professional plumbers remove the obstruction, meaning your pipes remain cleaner and free-flowing longer.
• Professional Drain Cleaning Removes Odors Have you noticed foul odors coming out of your kitchen sink? When you pour enough oil, grease, fat, and food waste down the drain, you end up with bacteria that grows out of control, causing foul odors that stink up your kitchen. Professional drain cleaning removes the source of the clog and the bacteria that goes with it, eliminating the smell.
• Professionals Use Pro-Grade Tools Let’s say you have a tree root infestation that’s causing problems in a main water or sewer line. Most homeowners don’t have tools to handle that and can’t get them at the local hardware store. Professional plumbers have access to pro-level tools like hydro jets to remove the most stubborn and embedded clogs.
