Bathtubs
How do I know if my bathtub needs repair or replacement?
If you see cracks, chips, and persistent stains on your bathtub that don’t respond to cleaning, it may be time for a repair or renewal service. If the tub is leaking badly or extensive damage is present, replacement may be necessary. Our experts can take a look at your bathtub’s condition and help you find a solution.
Why is My Bathtub Draining Slowly?
A slow-draining bathtub is often caused by a build-up of hair, soap scum, and other debris in the drain. Regular maintenance and using a drain guard can help prevent this issue. For persistent clogs, call on your local plumber.
Boilers
What should I do if my boiler stops working?
First, check the power supply, thermostat settings, and the pilot light (if applicable). If these are all in order and the boiler still doesn’t work, it may need professional repair. Super Service Plumbing can help get your boiler back in working order.
Drains
Why does my drain keep getting clogged?
Recurring clogs can be caused by the buildup of grease, hair, soap, and other debris. In some cases, it could be due to tree roots invading the pipes. Regular drain cleaning and maintenance can help prevent this. For persistent issues, our hydro jetting services can clear even the toughest clogs.
What can I use to unclog my drains?
You can use drain cleaning products such as chemical drainers and drain snakes. Household products like bleach or dish soap combined with hot water may also clear clogged drains in a pinch. However, if clogs persist, contact Super Service Plumbing to get a professional drain cleaning service.
Faucets
Why is my faucet dripping?
A dripping faucet is often caused by worn-out washers, gaskets, or seals. These parts can wear out over time due to regular use. Some faucet issues can be fixed at home, but others might need professional faucet repair services. Call Super Service Plumbing if you’re dealing with a dripping faucet. We’ll be glad to help!
Gas Lines
What are the signs of a gas leak?
Signs of a gas leak include a sulfuric or rotten egg smell, hissing sounds near the gas line, and dead or discolored vegetation around the gas line area. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate the area immediately and call us for emergency gas line repair.
What Should I Do if I Smell Gas in My Home?
If you smell gas in your home, you need to act immediately. Evacuate your home and call your gas company or emergency services. Avoid using electrical devices or open flames. Resist the urge to seek out the source of the gas leak without appropriate protection measures. Once the area is safe, Super Service Plumbing can inspect your gas lines for leaks and perform necessary repairs to ensure your safety.
Piping & Repiping
How can I prevent my pipes from freezing?
To prevent pipes from freezing, insulate exposed pipes, keep the thermostat set to a consistent temperature, and let faucets drip during extreme cold. If pipes do freeze, our team can help with thawing and repairing any damage.
When is Repiping Necessary?
Repiping may be necessary if your home has frequent leaks, low water pressure, or discolored water. Older homes with galvanized steel pipes often require repiping due to corrosion. Our repiping services use modern materials like copper or PEX to provide a long-lasting solution.
Plumbing Repairs
What does a plumbing inspection involve?
A plumbing inspection includes checking all pipes, fixtures, and appliances for leaks, corrosion, and proper operation. We also inspect water pressure and drainage. Inspections can catch potential issues early and prevent costly repairs.
Pumps
How do I know if my sump pump needs replacement?
If your sump pump is over 10 years old, makes strange noises, or runs constantly, it may be time for a replacement. Regular maintenance checks and professional attention can help determine the condition of your pump and prevent basement flooding.
Sewers
What causes sewer line backups?
Sewer line backups can be caused by tree roots, blockages from grease or debris, and collapsed pipes. Regular maintenance and cleaning can prevent backups. If you experience frequent problems with your sewer lines, Super Service Plumbing offers professional repair and replacement services.
How Can I Prevent Sewer Backups?
Preventing sewer backups can be as simple as being careful about what you flush or pour down your drains. Avoid flushing items like wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels. Elements out of your control, like tree roots, can also invade sewer lines, so routine inspections done by professionals are essential for keeping sewer backups at bay.
Showers
Why is my shower pressure low?
Low shower pressure can be caused by clogged shower heads, leaking pipes, or issues with the water supply. Cleaning the showerhead or checking for leaks can help.
Sinks
What can I do if my sink is leaking?
Leaky sinks can result from faulty seals, worn-out washers, or damaged pipes. Tightening connections or replacing parts can often fix the issue. For more serious leaks, our sink repair services are available to help.
What Can Cause My Sink to Smell Bad?
This is often due to a buildup of food particles, grease, or bacteria in your sink drain. Cleaning the drain with chemical drainers, cleaners, or baking soda and vinegar can help, but if the smell persists, it might indicate a more serious issue.
Toilets
Why does my toilet keep running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve, float, or fill tube. These parts can wear out over time and cause water to continuously flow into the toilet bowl. Our toilet repair services can replace these components and stop the running.
Water Heaters
How can I tell if my water heater needs repair or replacement?
Signs your water heater needs attention include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, and leaks. If your water heater is over 10-15 years old, it may be time for a replacement. Our team can assess the situation and find the best solution for you.
Water Lines
What are the common signs of water line problems?
Common signs of water line issues include low water pressure, discolored water, and wet spots in your yard or around your home. If you notice any of these signs, contact us for a thorough inspection and repair or replacement services.
Water Treatment
Why do we need water purification?
Water purification systems remove contaminants, improve taste, and provide safer drinking water. They can also extend the life of plumbing fixtures and appliances by reducing scale buildup. Our water treatment services include installation and maintenance of purification and softening systems.
