Know When to Call a Professional for Your Clogged Drain

A clogged drain can be as simple as some extra build-up that went down your drain to a major block in your main sewer line. Diagnosing which problem you are faced with is better left to the professionals. There are, however, several things you can keep your eye out for that will indicate the need more than just a plunger.

Foul Odor

A foul or sewage-like odor coming from your bathroom or drains is an indicator that you may have a sewer line clog.

Non-Draining Showers and Sinks

This may seem like a fairly obvious one, but if your sink or shower is not draining you definitely have a clog. If you notice that all of your sinks, showers, etc are not draining (or water is bubbling up) you should call for assistance immediately as this can mean a major clog.

Gurgling Noises

Another sign to be aware of is a gurgling noise coming from your toilet. This generally means there is a blockage somewhere that needs to be addressed.

Food Debris In The Sink

If you notice food debris in the sink after running your dishwasher, you may have a backup that is causing the dirty water to be pushed back up through your sink’s drain.

We offer top-quality drain cleaning services to help remove these annoying blockages and restore the flow of water to your home quickly.

Does Your Water Heater Need Replacing?

Though a broken down water heater can have some serious side effects, usually the most annoying factor is from the inconvenience of not having hot water. Not being able to shower, wash your dishes or clothes, or even wash your hands in comfort can cause some major disruption to your life.

Being able to spot problems before they become major issues will help ensure that you do not have to deal with the stress (and potentially costly repairs) of a water heater replacement.

Uneven Hot Water: A fairly obvious problem is not having any hot water whatsoever, but uneven hot water distribution should also be cause for alarm.

Unusual Noises: For the most part, hot water heaters are going to make some noise, but they generally fade into the background. If your water heater starts to make noises that are new and noticeable, you should call for assistance.

Water Pressure: Another indicator of a water heater problem is low hot water pressure. This can usually be contributed to mineral build up in your unit.

Leaks: A leaking water heater is never a good sign, and usually a good indicator of trouble. The problem with a water heater leak is that you may not notice it right away. Be mindful of checking your water heater for leaks periodically to divert disaster.

The Water Itself: If you experience hot water that is cloudy, murky, or has a metallic scent or funny taste, you want to call a professional for help. This is another sign of mineral buildup that can cause your system to fail if not taken care of.

While we offer detailed water heater repairs, we can also find a new water heater for your home too. Whether you’re sticking with a traditional tanked unit or looking for some savings with a tankless water heater, our Hershey, PA plumbers can help.
