How do I shut off the water to my home?
Check your valve. It's usually in the basement or on an outside wall in a utility area of the house. You can turn it off by turning it clockwise, which will cut off the water supply for the entire house.
How often should I upgrade my plumbing fixtures?
Generally, every 10-12 years is a good time to upgrade your water heater. Drain lines, toilets, and pipes should last 20-40 years if installed correctly. However, if you're experiencing any issues, it's best to act immediately to minimize any potential damage.
Why is my shower pressure so weak?
A clogged shower head is usually the source of weak shower pressure. Sometimes, the culprit is a leaky valve. If you're not sure, be sure to contact us so we can assess the situation for you.

How do I unclog a toilet?
In the event of a clogged toilet, a plunger is your best bet. Hot water and dishwater detergent can also help with a small clog. If neither of those methods works, it may be best to leave it to a professional like ourselves to unclog it.
