At Valor Plumbing, we understand that plumbing issues can be overwhelming and that you may have many questions. Below, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our customers. We hope this helps provide some clarity and comfort. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us!
1. How do I know if I have a plumbing leak?
Signs of a plumbing leak can include a sudden increase in your water bill, wet spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when everything is off, or even a musty odor. If you suspect a leak, it’s best to call a professional to locate and fix it before it causes more damage.
2. What should I do if my toilet is overflowing?
If your toilet is overflowing, the first step is to turn off the water supply at the shutoff valve, typically located behind the toilet. This will stop the flow of water. Once the water is off, avoid flushing again and call us at Valor Plumbing. We’ll help resolve the issue and check for any underlying problems.
3. Why does my drain keep clogging?
Recurring clogs can be caused by various factors, such as buildup of grease, hair, soap residue, or even foreign objects stuck in the pipes. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues. We offer drain cleaning services that can help keep your plumbing flowing smoothly and prevent future clogs.
4. Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unclog my drain?
We don’t recommend using chemical drain cleaners. They can be harsh on your pipes, causing damage over time. Additionally, these chemicals are not safe for the environment or for you and your family. A better option is to use a plunger or call Valor Plumbing for professional drain cleaning.
5. What can I do to prevent frozen pipes in winter?
If you’re visiting our beautiful state from up North, good news – you won’t have to worry about your pipes freezing down here in Sarasota and Manatee counties!
6. How can I reduce my water bill?
There are a few ways to reduce your water bill: fix any leaks promptly, install water-efficient fixtures like low-flow toilets and showerheads, and avoid letting water run unnecessarily. Our team can help by conducting a water efficiency audit and recommending ways to save on water usage.
7. When should I call a professional plumber?
It’s best to call a plumber when you’re facing issues like persistent leaks, low water pressure, sewage smells, or any plumbing emergency that you can’t handle yourself. At Valor Plumbing, we pride ourselves on quick, reliable service to get your home back to normal as soon as possible.
