What's going wrong?
Not Sure What You're Dealing With?
Common signs, and the kind of work that usually fixes them.
More Than One Drain Backing Up at Once
When several fixtures slow down together, the blockage is usually in the main line rather than any one drain. That calls for clearing the main, not the sink.
Every Drain in the House Is Slow
When it is all of them, the main line is the suspect. A camera inspection shows whether it is a blockage, roots or a broken section.
No Hot Water, or Not Enough of It
A failed element, thermostat or burner, or a tank that has lost capacity to sediment. Working out which decides whether a repair or a replacement makes sense.
A Sink or Tub That Drains Slowly
Hair, grease and soap build up along the pipe wall until water can barely get past. Clearing the line restores full flow and shows whether something further down is the real cause.
Sewage Smells in the Yard or Basement
A cracked or collapsed line lets wastewater escape underground. Soft, unusually green or sunken patches of lawn often mark the spot.
Water Around the Base of the Heater
A leak at a fitting or valve can be repaired. Water from the tank itself means the tank has failed and needs replacing before it lets go completely.
Worth knowing
Repair or Replace? A Water Heater Usually Tells You.
The age of the unit, the condition of the tank and the part that failed decide whether a repair is worth making, and a straight answer to that question is the most useful thing a plumber can offer.
- Repair or replacement
- Flushing sediment extends a heater’s life
- A leaking tank is replaced, not repaired
Before you call
A Few Things Worth Checking First.
None of this is required. All of it helps whoever comes out, and some of it stops the damage while you wait.
Know Where the Main Shutoff Is
Usually where the supply enters the house or at the meter. Turning it clockwise stops the water to everything.
Note What Changed
When it started, what was running, whether the weather turned. The story often points straight at the cause.
Check the Simple Things
A closed valve, a tripped reset on the disposal, a pilot light that went out. A quick look can save a visit.
Clear the Way
Space under the sink, around the heater or over the cleanout makes the work faster and keeps belongings dry.
Have the Details Ready
The age of the fixture or heater, any model label, and a photo of the problem all help a plumber arrive prepared.
Good to know
Plumbing Questions, Answered Plainly.
Straight answers to common plumbing questions. Not covered here? Call and ask.
How do I know if a plumbing problem is urgent?
Water that cannot be stopped, sewage coming up, no water at all, or a smell of gas: urgent. A drip, a slow drain or a running toilet: worth fixing soon, but not tonight. When in doubt, shut off the water to the fixture and ask.
What information helps when calling a plumber?
Where the problem is, when it started, what changed, whether the water is off, and the age of the fixture or heater involved. A photo of the problem and of any visible model label helps too.
Are chemical drain cleaners a bad idea?
Mostly. They rarely clear a real blockage, they can damage older pipe and fittings, and they make the drain hazardous for whoever opens it next. A plunger or a hand auger is a better first step, and a plumber’s cable after that.
How is a sewer problem diagnosed?
With a camera. It shows the inside of the line, marks the depth and location of any defect, and separates a blockage that can be cleared from a pipe that has to be repaired.
How long does a water heater last?
It varies with the type of heater, the water it heats and how well it has been maintained. The condition of the tank, and whether it leaks, says more than its age alone.
How can drains be kept clear?
Keep grease, coffee grounds and fibrous food out of the kitchen sink, use strainers in tubs and showers, and run hot water after heavy use. Clogs that keep returning despite that usually mean something in the line needs attention.
