Small leaks like a dripping faucet or running toilet can often be DIY fixes. But it’s best to call a professional plumber to avoid damage and expensive repairs for the following situations:
- Water heater leaks
- Main line or slab leaks
- Pipe corrosion
- Leaks behind walls
Hard water has high mineral content (calcium, magnesium), which can:
- Damage plumbing and appliances
- Leave residue on fixtures and dishes
- Dry out skin and hair
Soft water is gentler and prevents scale buildup. As part of our Plumbing Alliance program, we install water softeners and offer regular maintenance.
This usually means a problem with one of these components:
- Toilet flapper: cracked or worn
- Float height: too high, allowing overflow
- Fill valve seals: worn and leaking
These parts can often be replaced easily, but if the issue persists, let us inspect and repair it professionally.
