Introducing our much anticipated Plumbing Service Agreement! A few months ago we expanded our plumbing department, and we have put together a PASA that gives you all the benefits of our normal service agreement program but focusing on the plumbing in your house.
With the PASA program, you are given peace of mind knowing that everything is running as it should, the age of your water heater, and where the shut-0ffs are in the event of an emergency. You also receive 15% off any repairs that would need to be done in your home. You also take priority in scheduling, meaning we will try to get someone there the same day you call us, if we can. Your PASA will also be put on rotation, which will send you a reminder when your service is due, allowing for your home maintenance to be on our minds and not yours.
If you are already a member of our ASA program, there is a discounted cost for you to join the PASA program. If you would like to learn more about pricing or have any questions, please give us a call at the office at (864) 301-4414.
A slow-draining sink with a garbage disposal means that there are two parts to the problem: the garbage disposal itself and the sink pipe that is connected to it. One or the other can become plugged of its own accord, or both can get plugged at the exact same time. Fixing a slow-draining sink first begins by troubleshooting the garbage disposal. If the garbage disposal is in working condition, the connecting pipe needs to be attended to.
Drops of water coming out of a tub spout can be normal if it has a diverter, or it can be a leaky washer in the shower faucet. If it continues to leak all day, then it’s a leaky washer. If it leaks for an hour or so but then quits, it’s water draining down from the showerhead and emptying into the tub.
The sound you are describing is usually caused by a toilet fill valve that is slowly leaking. To locate the leaking toilet, remove the lid of each toilet tank and adjust the fill valve mechanism until it stops.
Generally when you have a foul odor when flushing the toilet, it means the toilet wax ring is not sealed to the toilet or the floor. Whenever you put water into a drain, it first has to push the air away. If the wax ring is not sealed, it will simply push the air between the floor and the bottom of the toilet into the room, instead of down the pipe. Because both air and water take up space in the pipe, you can’t put the water in unless you move the air out.
Foul odors occur from a buildup of food debris within the garbage disposal. To eliminate this drain odor, place ice cubes and lemon or orange peels in the disposal and run for 30 seconds. Next, pour a little liquid dish detergent into the disposal while it is running. To clean out the debris created by the odor removal process, run cold water into the drain for about 30 seconds.
Most people are comfortable with their hot water set at 120°F, which is also the new standard that manufacturers use when pre-setting your water heater temperature at the factory. If you have an older model, set the thermostat at medium.
Installing low flush toilets will help conserve water, as they use about half the amount of a regular toilet. Installing low flow showerheads and faucets will also reduce your water usage. A simple aerator in your faucet will conserve water too. Tankless water heaters provide instant hot water, and savings, eliminating the need for a tank. You can also lower the thermostat on your water heater.
