  • How do I know if I have a water leak?

    To detect a potential water leak, shut off the main valve in your home and observe your water meter. If the meter continues to register water usage, it indicates a leak beyond the main valve. It's worth noting that even minor leaks can waste over 10,000 gallons of water per year in a typical household.

  • What causes my faucet to drip?

    A dripping faucet is typically caused by worn-out components such as washers, O-rings, or faulty valves. These parts can deteriorate over time due to constant use, water pressure, and mineral accumulation, resulting in leaks. Given that even small leaks can waste over 10,000 gallons of water annually, it's crucial to address the issue promptly. For expert plumbing repair services in Garner, NC, please contact Certified Plumbing.
  • Is there really a difference between hard water and soft water?

    Yes, there is a notable difference between hard and soft water. Hard water contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, which can lead to scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures. Soft water, conversely, has lower mineral content, reducing scale formation and being less harsh on plumbing systems and appliances. Soft water also produces more lather with soap. For more information about water types and their effects, please contact our plumbing service in Garner, NC.
  • How long does a water heater last?

    Based on our professional experience, the average lifespan of a water heater ranges from 10 to 15 years, depending on factors such as the type (tank or tankless), maintenance regularity, and water quality. Regular maintenance practices, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment accumulation, can help extend its operational life. If you suspect your water heater may need repair or replacement, please contact our team for water repair services in Garner, NC.
  • What causes low water pressure, and what can I do about it?

    Low water pressure can be attributed to several factors, including pipe blockages from mineral buildup, malfunctioning pressure regulators, leaks, or issues with the municipal water supply. To address this, you can inspect for leaks, clean aerators or showerheads, or engage a professional plumbing service in Garner, NC to examine the pipes and pressure regulator.
  • My pipes seem too loud; what should I do?

    Noisy pipes can be attributed to various factors, including water hammer (a banging sound when water flow is abruptly halted), loose pipes, or excessive water pressure. Potential solutions include securing loose pipes, installing water hammer arrestors, or adjusting your water pressure regulator. If the noise persists despite these measures, it's advisable to consult a professional plumber to identify the specific cause.
