FAQs About Plumbing Repair

How do I know if I need a plumbing repair or replacement? If the issue is isolated and the part or fixture is in otherwise good condition, a repair is usually the best option. However, repeated problems or aging plumbing may require replacement. We’ll always help you weigh the options.

What should I do if I have a burst pipe? Turn off the main water valve immediately to prevent further water damage. Then call us right away. We offer emergency plumbing service and can guide you through the next steps.

Why is my faucet dripping even when it’s turned off? This typically indicates a worn-out washer or valve inside the faucet. It’s a small fix, but one that can save gallons of water over time.

How much does a typical plumbing repair cost? Repair costs vary depending on the issue’s complexity and the parts required. We offer Straightforward Pricing, so you’ll receive an exact quote before any work begins.

Can plumbing problems affect my water bill? Yes. Even minor leaks or running toilets can waste significant amounts of water and cause your utility bill to rise. Prompt repairs help lower water usage and cost.
