A leaky faucet is no big deal, right?

Wrong – actually, fixing a leaky faucet and other common plumbing repairs need to be addressed as quickly as possible, no matter how small they may seem. Why?

How can I check if I have a leak?

There’s an easy way you can check if you think you have a leak in your home: Record the level of your water meter. Don’t use any water for an hour or two (or more), then check the meter again – an easy way to do this is wait until everyone is in bed, then check it again first thing in the morning. If the level has changed, chances are you have a leak. Give us a call today to have it fixed!

Why do I hear a whistling sound coming from my pipes?

That whistling sound you might hear is often caused by a toilet fill valve that is slowly leaking. In order to locate a leaking toilet, remove the lid and adjust the fill valve mechanism until it stops. Once you have found the culprit, repair or replace the fill valve to take care of the problem.

Why do my pipes rattle and make noise all the time?

Your house might be haunted! Or, more likely, it is the result your water lines being improperly secured – meaning that in places they’ll rub up against your floor joists. A plumber can ensure your pipes are properly secured, as well as install pipe hangers between your pipes and joists and stop the noise.
