GET A QUOTESigns You Need to Call a Plumber
There are many signs that indicate it's time to call one of our plumbers for repairs or other services. Some are obvious, but others might be harder to detect. Recognizing these signs early can prevent more serious and costly plumbing issues down the line.
Key signs to watch out for include:
- Persistent leaks: Even small leaks, whether from a faucet, pipe, or toilet, can cause significant water damage and increase utility bills.
- Slow-draining sinks: Slow-draining sinks or completely clogged sinks that will only get worse are common indicators of a blockage.
- Sudden drop in water pressure: This problem potentially points to a hidden leak or pipe issue.
- Unusual noises: Banging or gurgling sounds in your plumbing system are a telltale sign of plumbing issues.
- Unexpected spike in your water bill: Higher bills could arise because of a hidden leak that requires professional attention.
How Should You Respond to Leaky Pipes?
When you discover a leaky pipe, the first and most crucial step is to turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. Locate the main water shut-off valve in your home, which is usually found in the basement, crawl space, or near the water meter, and turn it off. This will stop the flow of water and help minimize potential flooding and water damage.
How Do You Turn Off Your Water Valve?
Once you find the valve, you'll either see a gate valve (a wheel-like handle) or a ball valve. For a gate valve, turn the wheel handle clockwise until it stops. This action will close the valve and stop the flow of water. For a ball valve, turn the lever handle 90 degrees to the right, so it's perpendicular to the pipe. This position indicates that the valve is closed and the water supply is shut off.
Ensure the valve is fully closed to effectively stop water flow. After turning off the water, proceed with contacting our plumbers to request repairs.
Are Leak Sensors Worth It?
These small devices are designed to detect the presence of water in areas where it shouldn’t be. From a plumber's perspective, leak sensors are absolutely worth it, especially in high-risk areas like under sinks, near water heaters, around washing machines, and in basements.
When choosing a leak sensor, we recommend looking for models with features like Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows you to receive real-time alerts on your smartphone. Some advanced models can also shut off the water supply automatically when a leak is detected, offering an extra layer of protection.

Lasting Plumbing Repairs: Addressing the Root Cause
When it comes to plumbing repairs, our approach goes beyond simply patching up the problem temporarily. We believe in addressing the root cause of the issue to prevent recurrence and provide our clients with peace of mind.
Our skilled technicians conduct thorough diagnostics to identify the underlying issues of problems related to:
- Burst pipes
- Clogged drains
- Malfunctioning fixtures
- ...and more
Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, our plumbers deploy industry-best practices and advanced techniques to execute precise repairs that withstand the test of time.
Can You Have a Burst Pipe and Not Know?
We all know what a basement flood looks like, but not all burst pipes will result in a disaster such as that. In some cases, a pipe can burst in a less obvious location, like behind walls or under floors, where the damage might not be immediately visible. These hidden bursts can cause slow leaks that gradually lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues over time.
You might also notice more subtle signs such as:
Even though these symptoms are less dramatic than a full-scale flood, they should be taken seriously. Ignoring the problem can lead to significant damage down the line, including costly repairs.
Plumbing Services: When to Repair or Replace
Our plumbing experts conduct thorough assessments to evaluate the condition of your system and provide informed recommendations tailored to your needs and budget. Depending on the work we’re doing, we might be tasked with determining whether a fixture repair or replacement is the best route.
Determining whether to repair or replace your plumbing system depends on various factors, such as the extent of damage, the age of the system, and cost-effectiveness. Minor issues like leaks or clogs may warrant repairs, while older systems experiencing frequent breakdowns may benefit from replacement.
How We Replace Damaged Piping
The replacement process begins with a thorough inspection to identify the exact location and extent of the damage. Once we've pinpointed the issue, we shut off the water supply to prevent further leakage and protect your home from water damage.
Next, we carefully remove the damaged section of the pipe. Depending on the material—whether it's PVC, copper, or galvanized steel—we use specialized tools to cut and detach the faulty portion without disturbing the surrounding plumbing. After preparing the replacement pipe, we securely fit it into place, ensuring a tight connection with the existing pipes. We then test the new section by restoring the water flow and checking for any leaks, making sure that everything is functioning smoothly before we finish the job.

We’ve spent many years in the industry. That experience pays off, as it’s given us the knowledge necessary to offer an incredibly wide range of plumbing services.

What Causes Plumbing to Gurgle?
When a drain in your plumbing system is partially clogged, the struggling water creates a negative pressure that pulls air from other fixtures, like sinks or toilets. This pull of air results in that startling gurgling sound. This can happen gradually as debris like hair, soap scum, and grease build up over time. To address this, there are a number of things that our plumbing contractors can do. We might resort to plungers, plumbing snakes, or more intensive measures.
Another common cause of gurgling is an issue with the plumbing venting system. Plumbing vents are designed to allow air into the drainage system to balance pressure and ensure smooth water flow. If a vent is blocked—by debris, a bird's nest, or even ice in colder climates—it can lead to negative pressure in the pipes, causing water to drain slowly and produce gurgling noises. For our plumbing contractors, the solution here often involves checking the vent stack.

How Often Should You Schedule Backflow Testing Services?
Investing in backflow testing is crucial in ensuring the safety and quality of your water supply. You should consider scheduling backflow testing annually or if you notice any changes in water pressure, unusual odors or tastes in your water, or after any plumbing work that involves your water system. Many municipalities also require regular backflow testing to comply with local regulations.
Backflow testing is essential because it helps detect and prevent backflow, which occurs when contaminated water flows backward into the clean water supply due to pressure changes. This can introduce harmful substances such as pesticides, chemicals, and bacteria into your drinking water.
