1. Why do my pipes make banging or knocking noises?

This is usually caused by water hammer, which happens when water flow stops suddenly. Installing water hammer arrestors or adjusting water pressure can fix it.

2. Why is my water pressure suddenly low?

Low water pressure is often caused by clogged fixtures, partially closed valves, pipe leaks, or a failing pressure regulator.

3. How do I know if I have a water leak?

Signs include higher water bills, damp spots on floors or walls, mold odors, or hearing running water when fixtures are off.

4. What should never be flushed down a toilet?

Do not flush wipes (even “flushable”), paper towels, feminine products, grease, dental floss, or cotton swabs.

5. Why does my drain smell bad?

Drain odors are usually caused by dry P-traps, buildup of grease or debris, or sewer gas escaping from the drain.

6. Why does my toilet keep running?

A running toilet is typically caused by a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or an improperly adjusted chain.

7. Why does my toilet clog frequently?

Frequent clogs may indicate a partial sewer blockage, low-flow toilet issues, or flushing items that should not be flushed.

8. Why do I run out of hot water so quickly?

Common causes include sediment buildup in the tank, a failed heating element, or a water heater that is too small for your home.

9. How long does a water heater last?

Tank water heaters usually last 8–12 years, while tankless water heaters can last 15–20 years with proper maintenance.

10. Why is my hot water rusty or discolored?

Rusty or discolored hot water often means corrosion inside the water heater or a failing anode rod.

11. Can I use chemical drain cleaners?

Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and are not recommended. Professional drain cleaning is safer and more effective.

12. How often should drains be cleaned?

Kitchen drains should be cleaned every 1–2 years, and main sewer lines every 2–3 years or as needed.

13. What causes sewer backups?

Sewer backups are commonly caused by tree roots, grease buildup, broken pipes, or collapsed sewer lines.

14. How can I prevent frozen pipes?

Insulate exposed pipes, keep cabinet doors open during cold weather, and let faucets drip during extreme temperatures.

15. Should I have my plumbing inspected regularly?

Yes. Annual plumbing inspections help catch leaks, sewer problems, and failing water heaters before major damage occurs.

16. Why does professional plumbing service cost what it does?

Plumbing costs reflect licensed expertise, specialized tools, insurance, warranties, and emergency availability to protect your home.
