  Water Heater Repair

  If you're experiencing issues with your water heater, here are some common water heater repairs that AD Family Plumbing can perform to help fix your faulty or malfunctioning machine: 1. No Hot Water: If the water heater is not producing hot water, the plumber will check the heating elements (for electric heaters) or the burner (for gas heaters) to ensure they are functioning properly. They may need to replace faulty components. 2. Inadequate Hot Water: If there's not enough hot water, the plumber may check the thermostat settings, the size of the heater, or the condition of the heating elements or burner. Adjustments or replacements may be necessary. 3. Water Heater Leaks: Leaks can occur due to issues with the pressure relief valve, the drain valve, or a leak in the tank itself. Plumbers will identify the source of the leak and replace the faulty component. 4. Strange Noises: Sediment buildup in the tank can lead to popping or rumbling noises. Flushing the tank to remove sediment or replacing a faulty heating element may resolve the issue. 5. Pilot Light Issues (Gas Water Heaters): If the pilot light keeps going out or the burner won't ignite, the plumber will check the thermocouple, gas valve, or pilot assembly. Replacements or adjustments may be necessary. 6. Corrosion: Corrosion in the tank or on the pipes can lead to leaks. A plumber will inspect the tank for signs of corrosion and recommend repair or replacement if necessary. 7. Rusty or Discolored Water: Rusty or discolored water may indicate corrosion inside the tank. The plumber will check the anode rod and may need to replace it to prevent further corrosion. 8. Pressure Relief Valve Issues: If the pressure relief valve is not functioning correctly, it can lead to excessive pressure in the tank. Plumbers will test and replace the valve if needed. 9. Faulty Thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can result in inconsistent water temperatures. The plumber will test and replace the thermostat if necessary. 10. Smelly or Foul-Tasting Water: Bacteria growth in the tank can lead to unpleasant odors or tastes in the water. Flushing the tank and disinfecting it may be necessary. 11. Sediment Buildup: Over time, sediment can accumulate in the bottom of the tank, affecting heating efficiency. Flushing the tank helps remove sediment and improve performance. Always consult with a licensed plumber for water heater repairs, as working with gas or electricity requires expertise to ensure safety and proper functioning. If the water heater is old or the repairs are extensive, we can also replace or install a new one. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help extend the life of your water heater. We’re happy to provide the education you need to keep your water heater operating in optimal conditions!

  Sewer Line Repair

  Plumbers play a crucial role in diagnosing and repairing sewer line issues. Here are ways in which AD Family Plumbing can help with sewer line repair: 1. Video Inspection: We use specialized cameras to inspect the inside of sewer lines. This helps us identify the cause and location of the problem, whether it's a clog, root intrusion, or a damaged pipe. 2. Clog Removal: If the sewer line is clogged, we use various tools like augers, snakes, or hydro-jetting equipment to remove obstructions and restore proper flow. 3. Root Intrusion Removal: Tree roots can penetrate sewer pipes, causing blockages and damage. AD Family Plumbing has the tools and equipment to remove or cut the roots and may recommend preventive measures to minimize future issues. 4. Pipe Repair: We can repair damaged sewer pipes using various methods: • Pipe Lining: Involves inserting a flexible liner coated with resin into the damaged pipe. Once it hardens, it forms a new, durable inner layer. • Pipe Bursting: A damaged pipe is burst open, and a new pipe is pulled through in its place. • Spot Repairs: For localized damage, plumbers can cut out and replace the damaged section of the pipe. 5. Sewer Pipe Replacement: In cases of extensive damage or when the sewer line is beyond repair, we may recommend complete replacement. This involves excavating the old pipe and installing a new one. 6. Trenchless Technology: We may use trenchless methods for repairs and replacements. Trenchless technology minimizes the need for extensive excavation and can be less disruptive to landscaping and structures. 7. Sewer Line Cleaning: Regular maintenance, such as sewer line cleaning, can help prevent issues. AD Family Plumbing uses high-pressure water or mechanical tools to clean the interior of the sewer pipes and remove debris. 8. Sewer Line Inspections: Routine inspections of sewer lines can help identify potential problems before they become major issues. We recommend inspection schedules based on the age and condition of the sewer system. 9. Odor Detection and Repair: We can detect and repair sewer line issues causing unpleasant odors in or around the property. This may involve identifying and sealing leaks or addressing ventilation problems. 10. Permitting and Compliance: When necessary, we can assist with obtaining necessary permits for sewer line repairs or replacements and ensure that the work complies with local building codes and regulations. 11. Emergency Repairs: AD Family Plumbing is available for emergency sewer line repairs to address urgent issues such as sewer backups or pipe bursts. It's important to contact a licensed and experienced plumber for sewer line repairs, as these issues can be complex and may involve working with underground utilities. Professional plumbers have the knowledge and equipment needed to accurately diagnose problems and implement effective solutions.
