What should I do if my faucet breaks?
First of all, do not panic, as with every mechanical object with moving parts, it will happen. Simply look under the sink for a small, oval, chrome-like handles. There will be one for hot water and one for cold water, turn both handles until the leakage ceases. If the handles do not stop turning then you will need to tighten the bolt closest to the handle and try again. If the handles are too tight and will not turn, then you can use a pair of pliers to shake them loose. In the case they will not move, do not apply excessive pressure as this can cause larger plumbing issues. Call Local Plumber 24 for professional help.
What is the life expectancy of my water heater?
Depending on the type of water heater the life can be anywhere from 11 to 20 years. For tankless water heaters the life expectancy is about 15 -20 years. The conventional water heater has a life expectancy of approximately 11 years. Scheduled maintenance from a Local Plumber 24 certified professional can prolong these life spans.
Do I need to buy a new toilet?
Today’s toilets use 1.6 gallons per flush. If your toilet was manufactured before 1994, chances are you are using a toilet that wastes 3.5 gallons per flush. Buying a new toilet from Local Plumber 24 and having it installed will probably pay for itself in the first year of ownership.
