Be on the lookout for warning signs that will let you know that you have a serious problem, and then get professional assistance from a plumber you can trust.

Strange Noises Coming from Your Drains

Clogged sewer lines stop waste from draining safely away from your property. If you hear strange gurgling noises coming from your drains, you may have a sewer line clog that needs to be checked out. Be on the lookout for unusual sounds when you flush your toilet or use your sink.

Bad Odors

A bad odor coming from your drain system or places like your basement can let you know that you need to contact an expert. This type of problem will need professional assistance if sewage is not moving away from your home the way it should be.

Backed Up Sewer Clean Out

If your sewer clean out has sewage in it, this is a big sign that you have a clogged main line. When you see this type of problem, it is important to get assistance right away.

Why Does Your Sewer Line Get Clogged

There are many reasons why your main sewer line may get clogged. If you notice warning signs like hearing strange noises from your drains, having multiple drain issues at the same time, bad odors, or a backed up sewer clean out, you definitely need to find out what is going on with your plumbing system. You could be dealing with a tree root that has grown into your sewer line, or you may inappropriate items like thick paper towels or feminine hygiene products stuck in your line causing problems.

Garbage Disposal Problems

webmaster — Mon, 11 May 2015 11:41:17 +0000

When your garbage disposal stops running, it can be a sign of a number of problems. Some disposals have a safety switch that shuts the motor off when it gets too hot or is overworked. Sometimes the disposal will “jam” and stop turning because a piece of debris is lodged in the blades, such as a coin or a piece of bone. Care should be taken in working on disposals because the blades are very powerful and could cause serious injury to hands and tools. It is recommended that you call an experienced plumber to perform any work.

Customers frequently complain of smells from their garbage disposal. There are several easy treatments that might eliminate this problem. One method is to pour a box of baking soda down the disposal while it is on and while the water is running. Another option is to use a cup of automatic dishwasher detergent (such as Cascade) in place of the baking soda. If neither of those helps, Precision Plumbing will be happy to send a technician out to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. A courteous, professional Precision Plumbing technician is standing by. Just call Precision Plumbing at 702-253-6363

WATER PRESSURE PROBLEMS

webmaster — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 14:06:24 +0000

Improper water pressure, either too low or too high, can cause serious damage to your plumbing system and appliances and result in appliances not filling and operating properly. Checking your water pressure requires a water pressure gauge that can be connected to one of a number of fixtures or appliances in your home. If the pressure is too high or too low, it may then require adjustment of your water pressure regulator valve. Unless you have the correct gauges, tools, and knowledge to perform the service, it is recommended that you call an experienced, licensed plumbing company such as Precision Plumbing.

Normal water pressure varies from region to region and from residential to commercial needs. Water pressure for a residential home should be between 30-60 psi. In the Vegas Valley Water District, pressures can range from 30-100 psi. Anything over 80 is considered high and could be causing damage to your plumbing system. For high pressure, a Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV) is usually recommended. Any pressure reading under 30 is considered low and indicates a problem within your plumbing system, such as a leak. A qualified, experienced Precision Plumbing technician will be happy to check your water pressure. Just call the Precision Plumbing 24-Hour Dispatch Center at 702-253-6363 and they can have a technician at your site within minutes.

RUNNING TOILETS

webmaster — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 15:08:35 +0000

A running toilet can waste gallons of water and seriously increase your monthly water bills. Running and leaking toilets are one of the most common plumbing problems and one of the less expensive repairs to perform. But care should be taken when working on your toilet and customers often do more harm than good by trying to fix problems themselves.

A minor problem that could be repaired relatively inexpensively can easily turn into a major repair and expense if the person attempting the repair does not have the knowledge and tools to do the job properly. When in doubt, it is always the better to call a professional, licensed, bonded, and insured company such as Precision Plumbing.

If your toilet keeps running after you flush it, it can be one of a number of problems. The most likely cause is a leaking water control diaphragm. But it can also be a faulty fill valve, a bad tank-to-bowl gasket, or loose or leaking seals on the tank mounting bolts. Precision Plumbing will be happy to send out a technician for a free, no-obligation estimate. Call 702-253-6363 to schedule an appointment.

SLAB LEAKS

webmaster — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:10:17 +0000

One of the major causes of leaks and flooding in the Las Vegas Valley is a leaking pipe under the foundation of the house, commonly referred to as a “slab leak.” Slab leaks are frequently linked to construction defects that occurred when the home was built. Other common causes of slab leaks result from the pipe under the foundation being deteriorated on the outside by the harsh Las Vegas soil, and from the inside by the chemicals and impurities in the Las Vegas water. Other conditions, such as electrolysis, or another phenomenon known as de-zincafication, can contribute to cause slab leaks. An expert Precision Plumbing technician will evaluate your situation and provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate to resolve the problem.

Slab leaks, while a common problem, are also one of most expensive and frequently mis-diagnosed problems in Las Vegas. Slab leaks most commonly occur on the hot water lines, and although more rare, cold water slab leaks do occur. The professionals at Precision Plumbing have the experience and knowledge to diagnose and verify slab leaks, including leak detection equipment and line location devices that can pinpoint the source of leaks and the precise location and depth of pipes. To schedule a free, no-hassle estimate, call 702-253-6363

WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

webmaster — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 14:56:12 +0000

Regular flushing of your water heater is probably the single most important step you can take to prolong its service life and to save energy. Over time, sediments build up in the bottom of your water heater. These sediments act as a barrier between the flame and the tank, thereby making your heater burn longer and hotter. This is not only destructive to the tank, but highly inefficient and will significantly raise your heating costs.

Besides regularly flushing these sediments away, Precision Plumbing also advises adding a water treatment system to your home to filter or condition the water so it is less corrosive to your plumbing system. To schedule a free, no-obligation estimate, call the Precision Plumbing 24-Hour Dispatch Center at 702-253-6363 and they can have a friendly, professional technician at your site within minutes.

In the Las Vegas area, the average water heater lasts 3-5 years. Regular flushing can double the life of your water heater to 7-10 years. And with the costs of replacement running from $700 to over $1200 in some cases, getting the most out of your heater is critical in today’s economy. In addition, regular flushing makes your water heater run more efficiently and can cut heating costs in half. Depending on the volume of hot water your home uses, that can mean a savings of $20 to over $50 a month.

WATER CONDITIONERS, SOFTENERS, & FILTERS

webmaster — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 07:04:22 +0000

Many people ask if they would benefit from a water softener or water conditioner. It’s a complicated answer, and depends on what your priorities are for getting a conditioner: Is it to protect your plumbing? Improve the taste and quality of your drinking water? Or eliminate that soap scum feeling when you shower? A water conditioner can be anything that treats your water, from a basic point-of-use filter, to a water softener, to a system that electronically treats the water so it does less damage to your plumbing system.

Which system is best for you is a matter of what your goals are and what your budget is. An experience, qualified Precision Plumbing technician will be more than happy to discuss your needs and give you some options for the best system for you. To schedule a free, no-obligation estimate, call the Precision Plumbing 24-Hour Dispatch Center at 702-253-6363 and they can have a technician at your site within minutes.

SEWER GAS ODOR

webmaster — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:12:13 +0000

Sewer gas can not only be offensive and annoying, but also deadly. If you smell sewer gas it is recommended that you call a professional plumber, such as Precision Plumbing, to diagnose and repair the problem. There are many conditions that can cause sewer gas odor, ranging from cracked vent pipes in your wall, to improperly installed and vented appliances, to improperly installed and adjusted heating and cooling systems.

If you have a sewer gas odor coming from your shower, especially a shower that is not regularly used, the most likely reason would be that the trap is dry. This is a common problem in guest baths due to infrequent use. The water in the trap can slowly evaporate without regular use of the shower, thereby permitting sewer gas to rise into the house. The simple solution, in that situation, is to run your shower every few weeks to keep some water in the trap. If that fails to correct the problem, Precision Plumbing will be happy to send a technician out to give you a free, no-obligation estimate. To schedule a free, no-obligation estimate, call the Precision Plumbing 24-Hour Dispatch Center at 702-253-6363
