Major Repairs
Some homeowners will attempt to repair their own plumbing — this is okay so long as they actually have plumbing experience. It’s also okay to do some minor repairs as long as you have the right plumbing tools to properly carry out the task. An example of a minor repair is fixing a dripping faucet. You can do this by yourself as long as you’re confident with your plumbing skill. However, if you need major repairs such as for burst pipes, please make sure to only get professional plumbing service.
Do not DIY your plumbing because even if a YouTube tutorial video can provide you with the steps you need to resolve the problem, it might not be able to provide you with more information. For example, if you make a mistake, the video might fail to provide resolutions to your mistake. You get to avoid this problem by calling a licensed plumber.
Professional Leak Detection
If your water bills are higher this month, chances are there are leaks somewhere in your plumbing. We advise you to get professional plumbing service so that our plumbers can properly check your plumbing system for any leaks. We’re quite skilled with leak detection and we have the right tools to help us diagnose the problem and resolve it for you.
Doing a water meter test can help check for leaks. All you need to do is check your water meter at 30-minute intervals. Make sure no one is using the faucet or the shower while doing this test. Compare the readings for both; if they’re different, this indicates a leak in your plumbing. Call for professional plumbing service immediately so that a plumber can provide more assistance.
Drain Cleaning
As a homeowner, it’s your responsibility to care for your drains. One of the things you can do is install a strainer to catch food particles, hair and debris. Never use chemical-based drain cleaners in unclogging the drain as they can be harmful to the pipes and pose health risks. Clean your drains regularly with vinegar and baking soda solution. You can also pour boiling water (only if you don’t have old pipes.) Most importantly, hire a licensed plumber for professional drain cleaning.
If you own a business, a hydro jetter can completely clean the pipe interior including the pipe walls. Craig’s Plumbing specializes in cleaning your drains. Whether you need minor or extensive drain cleaning, our team can help.
Routine Inspections
Regular plumbing inspections are necessary to ensure your plumbing system is in top shape. It helps prevent sudden malfunctions and costly emergency repairs. During the inspection, the plumber will check all components of your plumbing and will inform you if there are issues that need to be addressed. It’s also an effective way to extend the life of your plumbing appliances and fixtures. If you don’t want to pay for other expenses or deal with other plumbing issues, we highly recommend you get regular plumbing inspections. However, do make sure to only get professional plumbing service with this, don’t just hire any plumber. Hiring a licensed plumber also ensures the task is properly carried out.
Thaw Frozen Pipes
Even though it’s extremely rare, when the temperatures are freezing, all homeowners are expected to protect their exposed pipes so that the water inside them doesn’t freeze. Because when this happens, the pipes can expand and then burst. If you want to avoid flooding in the basement or in other areas of your home, get some insulating material and protect your pipes. When you’re home, try to also slightly open the faucets so that warm water can flow through the pipes, or open the cabinet doors underneath the kitchen sink for the warm air to also circulate in that area. Protecting the pipes also protects your plumbing and your pocket.
If you think the pipes are frozen, get professional plumbing service immediately. Our team can help thaw the pipes to prevent further damage.
