If you notice the supply of hot water isn’t lasting long, it could be a problem with your tank hot water heater. The heating element will sometimes accumulate too much grime and mineral buildup.
A toilet that’s running constantly could be dealing with several potential problems, such as a broken flapper seal, flush valve or flapper chain. In some cases it’s the handle itself that’s making the toilet run. A running toilet wastes a lot of water, so don’t hesitate to contact our plumbers at 205-267-0023.
One of the most common reasons your dishwasher isn’t draining fully is because there’s a clog in the drain line. The line, sometimes referred to as a drain hose, pumps water from the dishwasher tub at the end of a cycle. When the drain line clogs, water may not be able to flow properly. Contact our certified plumbers for troubleshooting and repairs.
A fast response is essential when struggling with a burst pipe as a result of freezing. Expert plumbers are better equipped to resolve burst pipe repairs, but there are several things you can do on your own to keep the pipes from icing over in the first place:
Open any cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing. Be sure to move any harmful cleaners and household chemicals up out of the reach of children.
Let the cold water drip from faucets served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe—even at a trickle—helps stop ice from forming and freezing.
Minimize changes to the thermostat and keep your home at least 50 degrees, even after you’re away.
Take a look at the full guide for dealing with frozen pipes.
Grind up food scraps right away with cold water and leave the disposal on for about 30 seconds to ensure everything is broken down. Everyone should also avoid dumping coffee grounds, eggshells, potato peels and other large pieces of food into the disposal, because they produce drainage issues and bad smells.
A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a typical charge used by HVAC companies once someone is dispatched to your home to diagnose the root cause of what’s affecting your HVAC system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel costs associated with determining the underlying cause of the problem. It’s in essence a service fee for the technician’s professional assessment to pinpoint what went wrong.
It’s like a doctor’s appointment. They need to do some preliminary tests or an examination to understand what’s wrong before proposing treatment. Similarly, the HVAC technician needs to diagnose your system to decide on the needed repairs or maintenance.
