Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing
Listed below are common plumbing concerns that I am asked everyday by customers.
My water bill is too high. - If the numbers of gallons of water that you use each month has increased without reason it could be something as simple as a leaking plumbing fixture or
sprinkler head. It could also be traced to an underground water pipe that has begun to leak. Because these under "slab leaks" can eventually lead to damage to the foundation of your home any suspicion of a slab leak should be investigated.
Ug! Gas bill to high. - Natural gas is used in most of Flagstaffs' homes. And is used almost exclusively to fuel hot water heaters. When a water heating system has not been maintained a separation between the burner and the water a formed. This causes the water heater to perform inefficiency and use more gas.

I have to wait forever for hot water. - There are several different options for a Flagstaff homeowner that is tired of watching cold water run down the drain while waiting for hot water to arrive each morning. Our most popular system can have hot water anywhere in the home with in seconds.
I've been told that I have roots in my drain line(s). - Most older homes that do not have an quality sewer line and will eventually have this problem. Not to worry.

My toilets have never flushed well. - This problem is common in systems with design and/or installation faults. It can be resolved by correcting the problem areas and if necessary updating the design to higher preforming standards.
