Repiping

If your toilet constantly runs, leaks, or clogs, it might be time for a replacement. Newer models are also much more water-efficient, so upgrading could save you money on your water bill. If you’re unsure, a plumber can help assess whether a repair or replacement is best.

Garbage disposals can get jammed if something hard or non-food items like silverware or bones get stuck in them. Turn off the disposal before trying to clear the jam, and never use your hands to remove the blockage. If you can’t fix it, a plumber can help.

A sump pump helps prevent flooding in basements by collecting and redirecting water away from your home. If you live in an area that’s prone to heavy rain or flooding, or if you’ve had water issues in your basement before, a sump pump can be a valuable addition.

Installing water-efficient fixtures, fixing leaks promptly, and being mindful of water usage are all great ways to conserve water. You can also consider upgrading to a low-flow toilet or faucet to reduce water consumption.

A smelly drain is often caused by a buildup of debris like food or grease, which can create bacteria and odors. In some cases, it could also be a sewer issue. Cleaning the drain or calling a plumber can usually take care of the smell.
