  • How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

    Hidden leaks often manifest through increased water bills, damp areas on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or unexplained mold growth. If you notice any of these signs, it's advisable to contact us for a professional inspection to identify and address potential leaks.
  • What should I do if my toilet keeps running?

    A continuously running toilet typically indicates an issue with the flapper valve, fill valve, or float adjustment. If simple troubleshooting doesn't resolve the problem, it's recommended to contact a professional plumber to prevent water waste and potential damage.
  • How often should I schedule drain cleaning?

    For most residential properties, annual drain cleaning is recommended to prevent clogs and maintain optimal plumbing system performance. However, if you experience frequent backups, more regular maintenance may be necessary.
  • Can you handle large-scale plumbing projects for apartment complexes and office buildings?

    Indeed, we offer comprehensive plumbing services for multi-unit properties. Our expertise includes water main repairs, sewer line maintenance, and fixture installations for apartment complexes and commercial buildings.
  • Do you offer emergency plumbing services for businesses?

    Yes, we provide emergency plumbing services for businesses. We understand that plumbing emergencies can result in significant revenue loss, so we prioritize quick response times to minimize disruption and get your business operational as soon as possible.
  • How can I prevent sewer backups in my commercial property?

    To prevent sewer backups in commercial properties, we recommend regular drain cleaning, proper grease trap maintenance, and periodic camera inspections. These preventive measures help identify and address potential blockages early, reducing the risk of costly sewer backups.
  • What's the difference between drain snaking and sewer jetting?

    Drain snaking is a method that clears localized clogs by creating a hole through blockages. In contrast, sewer jetting cleans the entire pipe, effectively removing grease, sludge, and debris to prevent future clogs and maintain optimal flow.
  • Will sewer jetting help with slow drains?

    Yes, sewer jetting is highly effective for addressing slow drains. These issues are often caused by buildup in the sewer line, and jetting thoroughly removes all debris, restoring full drainage capacity to your plumbing system.
  • Is sewer jetting safe for my pipes?

    Sewer jetting is a safe procedure for most plumbing systems when performed by trained professionals. Unlike chemical drain cleaners, it doesn't cause damage to your pipes. Our technicians ensure the appropriate pressure is used to clean your pipes effectively and safely.
  • What is sewer jetting, and how does it work?

    Sewer jetting, also known as hydro jetting, is a high-pressure cleaning technique that utilizes water at pressures up to 4,000 psi. This method effectively removes grease, roots, sludge, and debris from sewer pipes, making it one of the most efficient ways to clean and maintain sewer lines.
