3. FAQ
What can I do for a clogged bathtub or sink drain?
This is a very common problem and there is no definitive answer as each drain could be
clogged for a different reason. The best thing to do is to make sure that the drain is not
clogged with hair or soap chips. You can do this by visually inspecting the bathtub or sink
drain. Cleaning hair out of your drains regularly, after showers, baths and hair washings is
advised.
What is the proper way to plunge a bathtub drain?
A bathtub drain is difficult to clear if you have a trip lever because as you plunge the water
could push up the trip lever riser. So the best way to use a plunger in a bathtub is to push the
plunger in fast and forceful to try to get as much pressure as possible into the p-trap. Plunging
a bathtub is not going to work for every clogged drain, and most times you will need
something stronger like a snake. If you don't have a snake or don't want to snake your drains,
call us today!
What is the best way to unclog a toilet?
The household plunger is frequently the first defense mechanism used to unclog a toilet.
Before using a plunger you will want to turn off the toilet's water shut-off valve. Turning off
the emergency shut-off valve will prevent accidental flushes, which can lead to an overflow.
Once you have the water turned off, you are ready to unclog the toilet. The rubber end of the
plunger should be soft, flexible and have no cracks. To unclog, place the rubber end of the
plunger over the clog and push down with a fair amount of pressure. The clog should
eventually break, allowing the water to drain.
What is that white stuff that builds up on my shower head and what can I do about it?
The white substance is actually mineral deposits. To remove the mineral deposits from the
shower head, pour a cup of vinegar into a plastic bag and then place the bag over the shower
head fixture and leave it in place overnight. The next day, remove the bag and use an old
toothbrush to scrub off the deposits. It is important to remove these minerals from your
fixtures as they can corrode the metal fixtures quickly./
I am getting no hot water from my electric water heater.
The high temperature cutoff may have been tripped, and may need to be reset. Otherwise it's
generally a faulty heating element or thermostat.
I am not getting enough hot water from my hot water heater.
The temperature control may be set too low. Otherwise it's generally a faulty heating element
or thermostat.

4. I have poor water pressure in my kitchen, what can I do?
Try removing the faucet aerator at the end of the spout and cleaning the screen of any dirt and
debris. The faucet aerator is designed to diffuse the water to prevent splashing, but it can
become clogged over time.
What is hard water?
Hard water is the most common problem found in the average home. Hard water is water that
contains dissolved hardness minerals above 1 GPG. Calcium, manganese and magnesium are
the most common hardness minerals. These issues can be solved by installing a water
treatment system.
Why should hard water concern me?
For many uses, it would not matter. For instance, to put out fires, water your lawn or wash
mud off the streets, water would have to be pretty hard to cause a problem. However, for
bathing, washing dishes and clothes, shaving, washing your car and many other uses of water,
hard water is not as efficient or convenient as 'soft water'. For instance:
