Match what you notice to a service page

Most callers do not know whether a problem is a leak, a clog or a failed valve. They know that a ceiling is stained, a floor feels warm or the shower runs cold. The table below turns what you notice into the page that deals with it.

Symptoms and the service page that fits each
What you noticeWhere to look first
A ceiling stain that keeps growingLeak detection and repair
A warm patch on a slab floorSlab leak detection
One drain that gurgles after another fixture runsDrain cleaning
Sewage smell near a floor drainSewer line repair
Cold showers and a tank that rumblesWater heater repair
Brown water and several pinhole leaksRepiping
A soaked carpet after a pipe let goWater damage restoration

Nothing on the list matches? Call anyway. The dispatcher asks a few plain questions and names the kind of visit that fits.

Water where it should not be

These five pages deal with water that is leaking, spreading or standing. Start with leak detection when the source is unknown, and move to slab leak work when the clue is under a concrete floor. A wet strip of lawn between the meter and the house points toward the buried water line.

Water leaking from a pipe in a masonry wall
Leaks that show in a wall or floor belong on the leak detection page.

When the same house keeps springing leaks, patching stops making sense, and repiping and pipe repair explains the decision. If the water has already reached carpet or drywall, water damage restoration covers removal and drying, plus the mold question that follows a long soaking.

Drains, sewer lines and the pipe under the street

A slow fixture is a drain cleaning job. Several fixtures slowing at once, or a backup in the lowest drain, points past the house to the service line. That line belongs to the owner, which is why the sewer line page explains inspection, repair and replacement before anyone digs.

Hose feeding water into a drain line during cleaning
Drain and sewer problems run from a single sink to the line under the street.
  • One slow sink: usually a local clog.
  • Two or more fixtures slow together: suspect the branch or the main.
  • Sewage smell or a backup at the lowest drain: stop running water and call.

Hot water, from a failing tank to a switch to tankless

Leaking tanks are past repair, while one that only runs lukewarm may need a part. The repair page sorts those cases. When a replacement is coming, installation and replacement covers permits and sizing, and it carries a short section for homes with a boiler. Anyone weighing on-demand heat should read the tankless page first, because gas capacity and venting decide that choice.

Fixtures, gas, filtration and buildings that are not houses

Daily-use hardware has its own pages: faucets, toilets and fixtures and the garbage disposal. Gas piping is a separate discipline, and the gas line page opens with what to do about a smell. Questions about scale, taste or filters belong to softeners and filtration.

Faucets, toilets, gas and filtration each have their own page for the details.

Restaurants, offices and apartment buildings face different rules, such as grease interceptors and plan review, and commercial plumbing covers them.

Gas smell? Leave the building first and call from outside. Do not flip switches on the way out.

When two pages seem to describe the same problem

Leak detection or slab leak work?

Leak detection is the broad search for any hidden leak. The slab page applies when the evidence, such as a warm floor patch, points at a line under concrete. Both start with locating the leak, not opening anything.

Drain cleaning or sewer line repair?

Cleaning clears a blockage and leaves the pipe as it was. Repair or replacement changes the pipe. A camera look tells you which one you need.

Repair the tank or replace it?

Age, leak location and parts availability decide it. A tank leaking from the shell cannot be repaired, while a failed element or thermostat usually can.

Tankless or another tank?

On-demand units need adequate gas supply or electrical capacity and a vent route. The tankless page walks through the questions to ask before choosing.

Not sure which service you need?

Call and say what you see. The dispatcher will point you to the right kind of visit before anyone is sent.
