Indianapolis Area Plumbing Repairs

While we see a lot of leaking pipes during the cold winter months, it’s also very common year-round! So keep an eye out for wet spots on the ground or ceiling. Water damage to your home can be quite costly, so quickly fixing leaky pipes, that often leak near the joints, is a priority.

Let’s face it, we’ve all had a dripping faucet in our home and have probably ignored it for a while! That dripping faucet not only wastes water, it wastes money due to a higher water bill. Don’t let drips persist for long – call us for plumbing system repair.

A lot of older homes experience low water pressure, but you may be asking why? It could be time for a new, modern showerhead or you could have a hidden leak in your home’s old pipes. However, those are just a few of the many reasons for low water pressure. It’s best to request plumber service for an accurate diagnosis of the root issue.

Don’t let your money go down the drain with a running toilet! Most running toilet plumbing problems are fairly easy to fix. It is usually just a matter of replacing a warped or broken flapper, installing a new chain, or readjusting the float. These are all quick, low-cost fixes. If you’re uncomfortable performing these repairs yourself, call us.

Accumulated hair, soap scum, and personal care products can build up in drains causing them to drain slowly. Slow drains are one of the most common plumbing problems you’ll face as a homeowner. Remove the pop-off drain cover and clean any debris. (Warning: it’s gross. Consider wearing gloves). You can also use an auger to clear the pipe, or if you do not have an auger, partially straighten a wire hanger and use it to pull up any debris (also gross). If that doesn’t fix the problem, try using a plunger to loosen debris. Flushing with baking soda and vinegar will help as well. Do not use harsh chemical drain cleaners because they can damage pipes. If the drain is still running slowly, call Williams Comfort Air because you may have bigger problems.

A leaking hose bibb is very common in the spring and summer. After a long, cold winter, many hose bibbs that aren’t protected crack and begin to leak. We advise our clients to invest in a frost-proof hose bibb which can reduce the chance of future leaks – ask our plumbers about installing one today!

The continuous use of a sump pump during prolonged periods of heavy rain can cause your pump to fail, especially if it is older. Don’t risk a flooded basement or crawlspace – contact us for emergency plumbing repair when your sump pump fails, and consider a battery backup sump pump for added protection.

While garbage disposals are a convenient appliance, you must treat them with care to keep them running smoothly. Common causes of garbage disposal problems include running it without water, disposal of inappropriate food items like potato skins and cornhusks, or running the disposal when a hard object like a spoon is in the drain. If resetting the GFCI doesn’t work, someone needs to break out the tools to fix the jam – we recommend a professional plumber.

If you have ever tried to take a shower and found that you have no hot water, you likely have a real appreciation for a reliable, working water heater. One of the most common causes of a sudden lack of hot water is the pilot light on a gas water heater going out. You can follow your water heater’s manual to relight it. If you get some hot water but not enough, the tank might need to be drained of sediment. Other possible problems include thermostat issues, a faulty thermocouple, or a faulty pilot. Water heaters can be dangerous and need to be serviced by a professional. Other than re-lighting the pilot or draining the tank, working on a water heater is best left to the experts.
