Seasonal timing

July highs around 83 degrees pull moisture out of a trap that never gets used, so a guest bath left alone through the summer is the one that smells.

Common questions

How much does a plumber cost?

It depends on the job and how bad the problem is. That is why the first step is a phone call. Describe the problem and get your free estimate on the phone, with upfront pricing.

Will I talk to a real person?

Yes, you will.

Do I need to fill out a form?

No forms and no waiting on emailed quotes. One phone call is all it takes.

Can I get help at night or on a weekend?

We have plumbers ready to help families in the community 24/7, but moment-to-moment availability depends on demand. Call to find out how soon we can service your home.

Should I wait to call?

You already know that plumbing problems don't go away on their own. And waiting just increases the risks to your house. Plumbers see this hesitation all the time. Instead of regretting not calling earlier, just make that 2-minute call now and get your free estimate.

People also ask

Do roots get into the sewer line here?

They do, especially where mature trees line an older street. Roots find the joints in clay and cast pipe and grow into the flow, and once they do the line will keep catching paper. Camera work is what settles whether the pipe is worth cleaning or replacing.

How old is too old for a water heater?

Most tanks give you somewhere between ten and fifteen years, and hard water shortens that. A tank that has started weeping at the base is finished, not repairable. Keeping the model number and install date somewhere findable makes the next conversation short.

Would homeowners insurance cover a drain backup?

It depends on the policy and on what caused it, so contact your insurance provider before you assume either way. Backup coverage is often a separate add-on rather than part of the base policy. Photographs and a written record of what failed help any claim.

What is a curb stop and why does it matter?

It's the utility's shutoff on the service line, usually under a small metal cap near the sidewalk or the road edge. The house valve is yours and the curb stop is theirs, and knowing which one is stuck tells you who to call first. Same arrangement holds in Mohawk.

Water is coming up in the basement drain right now. What should I do?

Stop running water anywhere in the house, and keep people off the affected floor. If the water is near a panel or an appliance, cut power to that circuit at the breaker. Then make the call rather than opening the cleanout yourself.
