Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Services

Yes, absolutely. You’d be surprised how often we get that. We’ll take a look at the damage done and let you know what it will take to fix it.

Absolutely. We can do a camera drain inspection to find out what’s slowing your drain down, and then do a drain cleaning to get it running clear again.

This is a common complaint for many homeowners. If you have low water pressure from only one plumbing fixture – usually people notice the shower most – it’s likely a problem with that fixture. Try cleaning the fixture – one method is to fill a bag with vinegar and then wrap it around the fixture. That will corrode away any limescale buildup. If that doesn’t help, give us a call at Lansdale Plumbing & Drainage.

Yes, we often install new hot water heaters.

There’s a part of a drain called a p-trap or just a trap. It’s supposed to fill with water even when your drain isn’t in use, which blocks the sewer gas from getting into your house. If you have a drain with some bad smells coming out, it’s a good bet there’s either something wrong with your p-trap or it was never installed in the first place. Either way though, Lansdale Plumbing & Drainage can help.

It’s different in every house, but in most places it’s in the basement near the other utilities in your house, like the hot water heater and the furnace. If you’re not sure where it is, take a moment now to find it.

These can do in a pinch, but it’s definitely not a good idea to make a habit out of it. First of all, they’re terrible for the environment, but they’re also terrible for your pipes. Because they’re designed to corrode things, they can end up corroding the inside of your pipes as well.

It could be a result of your bathtub’s weight pulling it down. To avoid this, fill your bathtub with water before you recaulk it.

We try to avoid this as much as possible, but occasionally it is necessary. But even though it might do some damage in the short term, you’ll be avoiding MUCH bigger damage in the long term.

There are a few different reasons for this. But while it might just seem like a minor annoyance, it can actually lead to a damaged toilet and more expensive toilet repair work. So call Lansdale Plumbing & Drainage to take a look and fix the small problem before it becomes a big one.

Unless we enter another ice age, yes. But this can take longer than you’d like, and can lead to a need for cracked pipe repair.
