How Professionals Repair Burst Pipes
When a pipe bursts or breaks at your home or property, you need professional help quickly to limit the amount of damage caused by the plumbing emergency. When a plumber arrives at your home you can expect him or her to:
- Locate the damaged area of the pipe after shutting off your water supply.
- Determine if he or she can replace the damaged section of the pipe or if the entire system needs to be replaced.
- If a section can be replaced, the professional will repair the burst section with a pipe cutter and solder a new piece in place.
- If the entire system needs to be replaced, the professional will discuss options with you.
Common Water Heater Issues
Your water heater may occasionally encounter issues that will need to be repaired by a professional. Some of the most common problems can include:
- Lack of hot water: Perhaps the most obvious – and inconvenient — issue with a water heater is the lack of hot water. If you own a gas-powered unit it can be due to an extinguished pilot light. It can also signal a more serious issue, like a damaged heating element.
- Leaking: If your unit is leaking, a plumber can determine if it can be repaired or if a new unit should be installed.
- Excess noise: Loud or unusual noises can signal a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the unit that must be removed.
- Cracks: Any cracks in the system should be inspected by a professional to determine if they can be repaired.

Easy Ways To Avoid Clogged Drains
Clogged drains can be a nuisance – especially if they are leaving you to shower in standing water – and they can also potentially lead to water damage. To avoid these situations, follow these tips to avoid getting clogged drains:
- Keep food scraps out of kitchen drains. Even if you have a garbage disposal, first scrape food into the trash before doing the dishes.
- Don’t pour grease down the drain. Instead, let it cool and then throw it in the trash.
- Keep hair out of bathroom drains. Install screens over drains in your showers and tubs to collect them before it goes down the drain and causes potential blockages.
- Only flush sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
Schedule regular professional drain cleanings to remove any small blockages before they become major.
