Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbers

How do I save water at home?

Conserve water by fixing leaks promptly, installing low-flow showerheads and toilets, and being mindful of water usage while brushing teeth, showering, and doing dishes.

What are the different types of water heaters?

Common types include traditional tank water heaters, tankless water heaters (on-demand), and heat pump water heaters.

What is a backflow preventer, and do I need one?

A backflow preventer is a valve that prevents contaminated water from flowing back into the clean water supply. They are often required for irrigation systems and certain plumbing fixtures. A plumber can advise on your specific needs.

What is the best drain cleaner?

Commercial drain cleaners can be effective, but overuse can damage pipes. Natural methods like baking soda and vinegar or a plunger are generally safer options. For stubborn clogs, it's always best to consult a plumber.
