Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do Drains Become Clogged?
For the most part, when a sink or other receptacle starts draining slowly — or stops draining altogether — it’s because of the normal accumulation of substances in your drain pipes. In bathrooms, this could be because of hair, dirt, soap or other hygiene products. In the kitchen, it’s usually an accumulation of food and grease.
Why Does My Water Heater Always Leak?
First, make sure to take a closer look at your water heater, check everywhere, especially the bottom. You might be able to see a pipe fitting that has become loose or an obvious issue. The more details you could provide your water heater repair professional, the better.

If your water bills are unexpectedly higher, even after considering factors like the season and the number of occupants in the house, it’s time to investigate potential plumbing issues.
