September 2023

The holiday seasons are upon us with the change of the leaves and arrival of colder weather. Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons means fun times with family and friends. Nothing spoils the holidays faster than a plumbing emergency.

Courteous, reliable plumbing services are only a phone call away. We’re ready to serve you when an unexpected wintertime plumbing issue catches you by surprise.

Cold Weather Causes Unseen Damage

Damage caused by cold weather goes unnoticed until homeowners experience high water and sewage bills, or an emergency flooding situation.

Pipes typically hold water at all times, freezing temperatures can quickly turn that water into ice. This can sneak up on you when plumbing fixtures aren’t inspected and maintained regularly. In fact, even tiny cracks that leak can lead to major damage because of expansion and contraction in the pipes. When the warm air in your home and the cold air outside combine, they unleash disaster. Between movement in the pipes and the water freezing and adding pressure, serious water emergencies happen quickly.

SHOULD I REPLACE MY WATER HEATER?

September 2023

Ask these questions:

  • What is the age of your water heater?

  • Is it making odd noises?

  • Have you recently had to turn up the temperature to get more hot water?

  • Do you see rust/corrosion on the tank?

  • Are there signs of leaking?

    If you’ve answered yes to one or more of these questions, even if the water heater is still working, it is likely time for a new one.

The average lifespan of a water heater is about ten years, 15 years at most before signs of failure occur. If there are surplus minerals in the water, the lifespan may be as short as six years. If you are approaching the time expectancy with your water heater, replacing it now could prevent future emergencies and expenses.

Water heaters that have water leaking around the base or showing signs of rust/corrosion need to be replaced immediately. These are signs of a potential structural failure, and you could end up with a major flooding if you do not replace as quickly as possible.

If your tank is struggling to make enough hot water, this is also a sign that it may be time to replace the unit before it completely stops working. Over time, mineral buildup can fill the tank, making it harder to heat water - a good reason to look into water treatment systems before future water tanks are purchased.

Replacing My Water Heater

Hiring a professional is the best option. Water heaters, either gas or electric, require a skilled technician to install to protect the house and water heater from damage. It is also often times required for insurance and permit purposes.
