General Plumbing Questions
Q: What should I do if I have a plumbing emergency?
A: If water is running, turn off the main water supply, which is likely out by the sidewalk in front of your residence. We understand that plumbing emergencies can be stressful and disruptive.

Our team of experienced and reliable plumbers is available 24/7 to respond to your emergency and provide efficient, professional service. We'll work quickly to identify and resolve the issue, minimizing any further damage or inconvenience to you.
Q: What’s the difference between hard water and soft water?
A: Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause buildup in pipes and appliances. Soft water is treated to remove these minerals, making it gentler on your plumbing.
Q: How can I prevent clogged drains?
A: Avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or food scraps down the drain. Use drain screens to catch hair and debris.
