What Are the Signs I Need to Call a Professional Plumber, in the Orange County Area?

It can be easy to go along with the hustle and bustle of everyday life and not pay much attention to your plumbing. With that said, neglect your pipes long enough, and they'll begin to tell you when something is wrong. Keep in mind that some signs are more subtle than others, so it's always a good idea to keep an eye and ear out for the following:

• Unusual smells coming from your drains or behind your walls
• Water damage on your walls, floors, or ceilings
• Odd noises like gurgling, bubbling, or dripping from your plumbing fixtures or behind your walls
• The sound of running water when no taps are on
• Skyrocketing utility bills
• Low water pressure
• Clogged drains or slow drains

These signs all point to the need for either drain cleaning or pipe repair, and some are more severe than others. Calling a professional for inspection will allow you to get to the root of the problem instead of just slapping on a Band-Aid solution. Skip the chemical cleaners and DIY solutions and opt for a more long-lasting remedy. We’re the plumbers Orange County can trust for thorough inspections and spot-on solutions.

How Can I Avoid Needing Plumbing Repairs in the Future?

If we had to recommend just one way you can avoid the need for plumbing repairs, it's to schedule annual maintenance. During our maintenance services from a reliable plumber, Orange County professionals inspect the condition of your pipes to ensure they're in great condition. This means you'll stay on top of any small repairs that should be performed.

We'll also clean your pipes, preventing clogs from forming that may lead to pipe damage. Other maintenance tasks from your local plumber in Orange County, such as clearing out grease traps, flushing out water heaters, and inspecting plumbing hookups, could be the difference between catastrophic backups, water damage, and more.

Aside from regular professional maintenance, you can also be careful of what you put down your drains. You should never put the following down any of your drain lines:

• Fats, oil, or grease
• Food pieces
• Feminine hygiene products
• Flushable wipes
• Cotton balls, paper towels, or any other non-septic-safe paper
• Coffee grinds
• Chemical drain cleaners

Can a Plumber in Orange County Help Lower My Utility Bills?

Since your plumbing system is responsible for carrying water into your home, your monthly water bill depends on healthy pipes. A small crack or hole in your water line could mean you're losing money every month. On top of that, outdated plumbing fixtures could be less efficient than new ones. Our professional team of plumbers can inspect your plumbing system and fixtures and make recommendations on how to lower your utility bills. If we find that there's a leak in your water line, a swift repair or replacement will prevent water loss. We can also help you switch out fixtures for more energy-efficient models.

Hot water heaters are a good example of an opportunity to decrease energy costs by choosing a high-efficiency replacement unit. Conventional hot water tanks use a lot of energy because they have to continuously heat that big tank of water to make sure there's always hot water available when you turn on the tap. As time goes by, your water heater slowly deteriorates from wear and tear damage and can no longer operate as efficiently as it used to. As a result, it needs more and more energy to provide the same volume of hot water, and that additional energy consumption is reflected in higher charges on your utility bill. If that's happening with your current water heater, choosing to replace it with a new tank-style system will increase your energy savings, and that means it's worth calling your plumber. Orange County households could save even more, however, by having our qualified Orange County plumbers install a tankless water heater. Instead of constantly heating a tank of water, tankless water heaters are heat pump devices that heat water on demand when you turn on your faucet. Since it's only operating when the hot water tap is turned on, it saves a lot of energy over time and will decrease the costs of your energy bill.

Can Orange County Plumbers Diagnose Hidden Plumbing Problems?

While there are some situations in which you know exactly what is causing the problem that has prompted you to call a plumber, Orange County residents typically don't really know why problems such as sewer backups, recurring clogged drains, or sudden increases on water bills are taking place. That makes sense—we tend to think of our plumbing as the fixtures we interact with on a regular basis, but the truth is, the vast majority of our plumbing systems are out of sight and out of mind behind floors and walls or buried underground.

When you call our Orange County plumbers, you can expect a full inspection and diagnosis to confirm the location of the issue and what exactly is causing it. What we uncover during that diagnostic process will inform us of the best way to fix the issue and get your plumbing system working normally again with the help of an expert plumber in Orange County. Our plumbing inspection methods include leak detection techniques and video camera inspections, along with visual inspections of the visible components of your plumbing system.

Do Your Orange County Plumbers Charge for Overtime or Tack On Hidden Charges?

No. We always offer honest, upfront pricing with no hidden charges or overtime fees for service from our Orange County plumbers. We will explain our recommendations clearly and give you a firm quote on the plumbing services you need after we've had the chance to inspect your plumbing system in person. As a result, you'll know exactly how much the final bill will be before the installation, maintenance or repair work is started by our plumber. Orange County homeowners don't have to worry that our plumbers will take longer than necessary to inflate an hourly charge or try to convince you to accept unnecessary services to raise the cost of hiring our team.
