Tankless water heaters last about twice as long as standard water heaters, with a life expectancy of 20 years.

Q: What is pipeline video camera inspection?

A: A camera/transmitter is used for exact diagnosis of line problems in all types of industries, whether it’s a root-impacted, collapsed, or “bellied” drain line, a jammed conduit line, or a damaged chimney.

Q: I hear a rumbling sound coming from the water heater. What could cause this?

A: Rumbling sounds coming from a water heater are an indication that sediment is built up on the bottom of the water heater. What you are hearing is water that is trapped in the sediment and is boiling. This is an indication that the water heater is not operating efficiently.

Q: Recently my water bills appear to be rather high. None of the faucets appear to leak. What else could contribute to a high water bill?

A: You may want to check to see if a toilet is leaking. First, check the water level to ensure that water is not overflowing the tank by way of the overflow pipe. Second, put a few drops of food coloring into the tank to test the flush valve mechanism. If the water in the bowl changes color within 15 minutes, this is an indication that water is leaking into the toilet bowl and that the ball or flapper needs to be replaced.

Q: How often should I have my septic system inspected?

A: Septic systems should be inspected and pumped a minimum of once every three to four years. You may not be experiencing any problem now, but a full septic tank may allow unwanted solids to flow into the drain field. A blocked drain field is costly to repair or replace.

Q: What is the difference between hard water and soft water?

A: Parts of the U.S. have what is commonly referred to as “hard water,” and people who live in these areas battle the problems that hard water creates. The most common defense against hard water, which is a nuisance but not a health hazard, is to install a home water softener. Water softening involves exchanging calcium and magnesium minerals present in the water with sodium.
