How a Sump Pump Can Prevent Flooding
When heavy rain causes water to collect in your yard, you need a functioning sump pump to prevent excess moisture from entering your basement. These systems pump water away from your home and put it into your drainage system to keep your property dry.
Common Water Heater Problems
When your water heater malfunctions it can cause major inconveniences for your entire household. It’s important to hire a professional as soon as possible to repair the problem. Some common issues your unit might experience are:
- Lack of hot water: The most common issue -- and most noticeable -- is a lack or complete absence of hot water. For gas-powered units, this inconvenient issue could be due to an extinguished pilot light which can simply be relit. In other cases, the heating element could be severely damaged and require the need for a replacement.
- Leaking: Based on the severity of the leak your plumber will decide if repairs will work or if replacing the unit is the better option.
- Excess noise: This could be another sign of a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the unit that must be professionally removed.
- Cracks: These should be inspected by a plumber to determine if they can be repaired or if the unit needs to be replaced.
Unfortunately, your plumbing issues don’t always wait until you have extra money. That’s why we offer financing options! Contact us to learn more.
