Overview
Most of us are familiar with tank water heaters. Cold water coming into your home is stored in tank water heaters. Then the water is heated by electricity, natural gas, propane, heat pumps, and even solar energy. When the water in the tank cools off, the fuel kicks in and heats it up some more. When you turn on your shower, faucet, dishwasher, or washing machine, hot water is ready for you to use. We recommend and install AO Smith products.

Overview
A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is typically installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home’s foundation is channeled into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

- Reduce Threat of Mold and Mildew

Common Plumbing Problems
-
Dripping FaucetsLet’s face it, we’ve all had a dripping faucet in our home and have probably ignored it for a while! That dripping faucet not only wastes water, it wastes money on your water bill.
-
Jammed Garbage DisposalA jammed garbage disposal is high on the list of common plumbing problems. Many people loose the nifty key that comes with the garbage disposal to help unjam it.
-
Leaky PipesWhile we see a lot of leaking pipes during the cold winter months, it’s also very common year-round! Most pipes will begin to leak near the joints, so keep an eye out for wet spots on the ground or ceiling. Water damage to your home can be quite costly, so leaky pipes are a necessity to fix right away!
-
Water Heater FailureYou wake up in the morning and step into the shower to feel cold water on your body—trust us, we know it’s the worst feeling! The average life of a water heater can be anywhere from eight to 12 years depending on yearly maintenance.
-
Low Water PressureA lot of older homes will experience low water pressure, but you may be asking why? It could be time for a new showerhead or you could have a hidden leak in your home. However, those are just a few of the many reasons for low water pressure.
-
Running ToiletsDid you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day? That’s a lot of water waste!A burning smell is a serious issue because it could indicate the start of an electrical fire. Receptacles or connected electrical cords that are warm to the touch are also a sign of an electrical problem. Do not use the receptacle until the situation has been repaired.
