What are some advantages of a tankless water heater?

Tankless technology is becoming the best new upgrade for meeting home water heating needs. As you turn on the hot water faucet, water moves through the tankless heater, warms up and moves to your desired fixture. A strong heating element continually warms passing water, making it almost impossible to run out of hot water. Tank systems have a limited water amount, forcing you to have a cold shower if water runs low.

Tankless heaters don’t take up a lot of space and are relatively simple to install. The tankless heater can be located in almost any room, including a laundry space or garage. Their versatility and low-cost make this heater a worhty upgrade.

What is hydrojetting?

In the past, plumbers primarily used mechanical snakes to drive out pipe clogs. Although effective, these snakes could never truly remove all debris from pipe walls. Hydrojetting is the process of spraying high-pressure water into your home plumbing. Similar to power-washing a driveway, the water’s friction against the pipe walls dislodges debris and even grease. Oils and fats within plumbing turn into adhesive for hair and food particles, making clogs difficult to remove. Hydrojetting forces all the debris off the pipes. Water flows smoothly afterward.

Hydrojetting is preferable to other cleaning strategies because it doesn’t employ chemicals. Even the safest clog-fighting chemicals are harmful to pipes. Water washes away debris while maintaining the pipe’s strength for years to come.

What is considered to be a plumbing emergency?

There are several plumbing emergency types that require immediate attention. If you notice that your sinks, toilets, tubs and showers are backing up with waste water, call us immediately. This scenario isn’t an isolated clog at one fixture, but is actually a main line blockage. Your home has a large pipe that funnels all waste water to the local sewer. If it becomes blocked, water can’t leave your property. We need to fix this issue before waste water damages the home.

Another emergency is a burst pipe. If you discover a broken pipe with water actively leaking from it, turn off the nearby water valve. Alternatively, shut off the valve for the entire home. You want to stop any gushing water from damaging the home. Call Powell’s Plumbing as soon as possible to fix the issue.
