We'll tell you what the other guys won't.
| GARBAGE DISPOSAL: |
If it is not leaking, chances are it does not need to be replaced. Try the reset button on the bottom of the unit. |
| FAUCETS/TUBS/SHOWERS: |
Does it drip continuously? It can most likely be re-built at a minimal cost. It could also be a result of excessive water pressure, or calcification build-up. |
| WATER HEATER: |
Check for corrosion at all fittings/connectors. Flushing unit at-least twice a year could extend the life by up to 40%. |
| TANKLESS WATER HEATER: |
Consider the energy savings with "On Demand" hot water. Currently your water heater kicks on multiple times throughout the day in order to maintain the pre-selected temperature, where the tankless runs only when supply of hot water is needed. Something to consider. |
| HIGH WATER/GAS BILL: |
Toilet running? Faucet Dripping? Irrigation Leak? Slab Leak? Visually inspect water meter for movement. Any indications, give us a call and we will be happy to locate and repair it for you. |
| TOILET: |
Does it run frequently? Could be a water level adjustment or a flapper replacement. |
| MAIN LINE STOPPAGE: |
Is everything in your home backing up into the tub/toilet? Walk outside and locate your sewer clean-out (if your house has one). If you carefully remove the cap, all sewage will drain to the outside, rather than all over your new carpet or wood flooring. Give us a call, and we will take care of clearing the line for you. |
