Plumbing Services 101
If you like to do projects around your home, you may think that there’s no reason why you can’t handle basic plumbing repairs and maintenance on your own. While you may be able to handle certain maintenance tasks, there are certain repairs that you should let us at South End Plumbing take care of.
Lower Water Pressure
You should give us a call for plumbing services if you notice that the water pressure in your home is lower than normal. Some common causes of low water pressure include:
- The accumulation of debris in your pipes.
- Low pressure from the city’s supply well.
- A poor supply-line design.
When you contact us for plumbing services, we’ll analyze the problem to determine the exact cause.
No Hot Water
There’s nothing worse than a cold shower to start off your day. If your water heater isn’t producing hot water, it may be difficult to determine the cause of the problem, unless there’s a leak. For instance, if you have an electric water heater, you may not be getting hot water because of a bad overload switch, faulty thermostat, or a tripped circuit breaker.
Sewer Backups
If sewage keeps backing up into your toilets, sinks, and showers, tree roots may have started to infiltrate your main sewer line. Instead of renting a sewer rodding machine, it’s best to leave this job up to us to ensure you don’t accidentally cause further damage to your home’s sewer.
When it comes to plumbing services, it’s best to have a professional on your side. Contact us at South End Plumbing if you ever run into a plumbing problem and need some help.
