Hydro-jetting is a process in which a jet of water is blasted through pipes to remove clogs, blockages, and debris from the plumbing system. You may need it if you find your pipes experiencing constant clogs or slow draining due to blockages. Contact Traditional Plumbing today for quality drain cleaning.

You may need repairs to your plumbing fixtures if you notice improper functioning like slow draining or leaking. Different plumbing fixtures have various lifespans, but our experts recommend you replace most plumbing fixtures every 15 to 30 years, particularly toilets and water heaters. It may be time to replace a fixture if it needs constant repairs and experiences serious issues. Call today to learn more from water heater repair pros.

If your water takes too long to heat, it could be due to several causes, including the ones below.

• Sediment buildup: Minerals settle in the tank, slowing heating. Regularly flush the tank to prevent this.
• An old or inefficient heater: In our experience, units over 10 years old lose efficiency. Consider upgrading if your system is outdated.
• An undersized heater: A unit that's too small can’t keep up with demand. Upgrade to a larger or tankless model.
• A faulty heating element: A broken element in electric heaters can delay heating. Have a plumber inspect and replace it.
• Cold weather: Colder water takes longer to heat. Insulate pipes and the water heater for better efficiency.
• High hot water demand: Running multiple appliances can slow down hot water delivery.

For assistance with persistent issues or water heater repair, contact Traditional Plumbing. We'll provide a professional assessment.

While drain cleaning can help when your toilet isn't flushing properly, it still helps to know possible causes. Here are some causes to consider.

• Clogged toilet: Debris like toilet paper, wipes, or foreign objects can block the drain, preventing proper flushing.
• Low water level: If the water in the tank is too low, the flush won’t be powerful enough to clear the bowl.
• Worn flapper or chain: A damaged flapper or chain can prevent the tank from fully emptying, resulting in a weak flush.

When you need professional help, contact Traditional Plumbing to resolve flushing issues quickly.

You'd be surprised how easily roots can block your drains if you aren't preventing them from doing so. Here are some common signs your drains are being blocked by roots.

• Slow drains: Tree roots can block the sewer line, causing slow-draining sinks, showers, and toilets.
• Frequent backups: If you’re experiencing regular sewer backups, roots might be intruding into the pipes.
• Gurgling sounds: Strange gurgling noises from your drains can indicate blockage from tree roots.
• Unpleasant odors: Foul smells from drains or near the yard could mean roots are causing sewage leaks. 

Here are some key ways to prevent root blockages.

• Regular inspections: In our experience, it's crucial to schedule annual plumbing inspections, including a camera inspection of your sewer line to detect any early root intrusion.
• Root barriers: Install physical or chemical root barriers between your trees and the sewer line to prevent roots from reaching the pipes.
• Avoid planting near sewer lines: Plant trees and shrubs away from your sewer line to minimize the risk of root intrusion. 
• Use sewer-safe products: Avoid flushing paper products or grease that could combine with roots to form serious blockages.

If you suspect tree roots in your sewer line, contact us today for professional detection and drain cleaning before the problem worsens.

Common causes of sewer backups include clogged pipes from grease or debris, tree roots growing into sewer lines, and broken or collapsed pipes due to aging or soil shifting. Quick fixes include using a plunger or drain snake for clogs and hydro-jetting for root removal and clearing blockages, though damaged pipes may require professional repair. To resolve persistent issues or learn about our drain cleaning services, contact us today.

To prepare for a plumbing emergency this winter, insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and locate your main water shutoff valve for quick access in case of a burst pipe. Keep basic tools like a plunger, pipe wrench, and insulation on hand, and have Traditional Plumbing's contact information readily available. It’s also a good idea to schedule a professional inspection with us to identify any potential issues before cold weather hits. Keep your home’s temperature consistent, and open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around pipes. Reach out today to let us handle your water heater repair before an emergency pops up.

High water pressure can damage your home’s plumbing by putting excess strain on pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Over time, it can cause leaks and burst pipes or reduce the lifespans of water heaters, faucets, and washing machines. It also increases the risk of water hammer, a banging noise in pipes that can lead to joint and valve damage. To prevent these issues, it’s important to regulate your water pressure with a pressure-reducing valve and schedule routine inspections with Traditional Plumbing to ensure your system runs safely. Call today for an estimate from experts in everything from emergency shut-off valve installations to water heater repair.
