Frequently Asked
Questions
Our Experts Can Assists You With All
Your Plumbing Needs.
CAN A WATER HEATER TANK BE
REPAIRED?
Yes. Once the tank has begun
leaking it cannot be repaired: the
water heater must be replaced.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A
BROKEN WATER LINE OUTSIDE
MY HOUSE?
A broken water line out in the yard
may include an excessively high
water bill, puddles in your yard or
the sound of running water when
no faucets or appliances are using
water.
THERE IS A VALVE COMING OFF MY
WATER HEATER THAT IS DRAINING
WATER. WHAT DO I DO?
This is called a temperature and pressure
relief valve. This is a safety control for your
water heater do not cap this valve off.
When the pressure builds up inside your
water heater past the setting of the valve it
starts leaking. If you cap off the valve your
water heater could blow up. This has
happened several times. If you install a
pressure reducing valve you need a thermal
expansion tank to accommodate the
expansion of the water in your hot water
heater being heated.
WHAT IS INSTANT HOT WATER?
Instant Hot Water is a hot water re-
circulation system that circulates hot water
in your home. When you open a fixture the
warm water is there. There is no need to
run water down the drain waiting for hot
water to arrive. Did you know that hot
water re-circulation systems save water,
energy and money; the average family of
four wastes up to 17,000 gallons of water
per year just waiting for hot water to arrive.
A hot water re-circulation system eliminates
waste and provides the convenience of
instant hot water. They work in existing
homes, too!
WHAT CAUSES LOW WATER PRESSURE
AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?
There are several things that could cause
low water pressure, including a partially
closed or malfunctioning shut off valve, a
crimped water line, or deposits that gather
in older galvanized pipes. If your neighbors
have strong water pressure, the problem is
most likely between the water meter and
your home.
I THINK MY TOILET IS LEAKING. IS
THERE A TEST I CAN DO TO CONFIRM
THIS?
Yes! All you have to do is put a few drops of
food coloring into your toilet tank. Wait a
few minutes and then look in the toilet
bowl. If you see that your bowl has the
same color, then you’ve got a leak.
