Plumbing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

How can I prevent water damage in my home?

Inspect pipes, faucets, and your water heater every few months for leaks or corrosion. Schedule an annual plumbing checkup with Waterman Fine Plumbing to catch small issues before they turn costly.

Turn off the main water valve, cut power to the affected area, and call Waterman Fine Plumbing immediately. Fast response minimizes water damage and speeds up repairs.

Shut the supply valve behind the toilet by turning it clockwise, mop up standing water, then contact Waterman Fine Plumbing to clear the clog or replace faulty parts.

A stuck handle or worn flapper is the usual cause. If tightening or lubricating the handle does not help, replace the flapper or have Waterman Fine Plumbing handle the repair.

Use a drain snake to pull out hair and debris. If water still drains slowly, the clog may be deeper in the line; Waterman Fine Plumbing offers professional drain cleaning that solves the problem without harsh chemicals.

Worn‑out gaskets or o‑rings are common culprits. Simple part replacements often solve the leak, but recurring drips can signal pipe corrosion, in which case Waterman Fine Plumbing should inspect the system.

Hidden leaks inside walls or under slabs can waste hundreds of gallons. Check your meter for continuous flow when no fixtures are running and book a leak detection service with Waterman Fine Plumbing.

Frequent use can corrode pipes and create bigger problems later. For stubborn clogs, mechanical snakes or professional jetting from Waterman Fine Plumbing are safer options.

Tankless units deliver endless hot water and lower energy bills by heating on demand. Ask Waterman Fine Plumbing to size and install the right model for your household’s usage.

Burst pipes, sewage backups, and major leaks require immediate attention to avoid structural damage and health risks. Waterman Fine Plumbing provides 24‑hour emergency service so you never have to wait for help.
