When Do I Need to Call the Plumber?

Imagine this: your faucet won’t stop dripping or let’s say you’ve found water stains and can’t find the source of them or maybe your drains won’t, well, drain. How do you know when you should call a plumber and when you should attempt to fix it yourself? Well, the answer is usually: call the plumber either way. While a simple toilet clog makes for an easy fix, other serious issues can become worse when we meddle. New Age Plumbing is here to help!

Toilet Clogs:  When Do I Call a Plumber?

Many times, when a toilet is clogged from routine use, it can be simply unclogged using a plunger. But when clogs persist or can’t be tamed with the average plunger, that’s when you know it’s time to call a plumber. Persistent clogs can be a sign of a more serious clog within your plumbing system. This may require sewer cleaning or unclogging. If the clog is just in your toilet, but it’s too large to handle with a plunger, attempting to handle it yourself can cause it to damage the infrastructure. Your best bet is to call your friendly, neighborhood plumber.

My Sink Won’t Drain, What Do I Do?

It’s easy to think that when your sink won’t drain, you can fix it by buying some over the counter drain cleaner and flushing it down your sink a few times. While this may seem like the easy way out, it’s not. Over the counter drain cleaner can temporarily fix the problem, but more often than not, your problem will return. Plus, drain cleaner like that can actually damage the walls of your pipes, eroding them and making them weaker against common plumbing issues. Luckily, a plumber can help.

Where are These Water Stains Coming From?

If you’ve noticed suspicious water stains throughout your house and aren’t sure where they’re coming from, we can help. They could be coming from something obvious, such as an air conditioner or faucet that’s leaking out the back and then down the side of the counter or it could be something less obvious, like a pipe hidden somewhere. We’ll target the source of the leak and fix it, so you don’t have to worry.
