Several things can obstruct drains pipes in your home. Tree Roots, hygiene products as well as toys can accidently be flushed down the toilet and cause a major clog. If your house has drain cleanouts, unclogging the drainpipe is simpler for a plumber.
Like other household appliances, water heaters have a limited lifespan. If you’re not sure whether or not it’s time to replace your home’s water heater, consider the following factors:
Age—most water heaters come with a 5 or 10-year warranty and will typically last even longer. However, if you’ve had your water heater for 15 or even 20 years, it’s probably time for a replacement.
Leaking—if your water heater has started to leak, there’s no completely effective way to stop it. If this is the case, you should call us at South End Plumbing right away to replace it to prevent flooding and other damage to your home.
Usage and Water Quality—as your family grows, you will use more hot water on a daily basis. If you’ve introduced more children into your family over the past few years, it’s important to remember that you’ll probably have to replace your water heater sooner than if the number of people in your household had remained the same.
