How do you know your water heater needs to be replaced?

It can be attractive to avoid replacing your water heater. There never appears to be a good time to do it. The typical lifespan of this unit is 7-10 years. You may need to consider replacement if you are starting to notice issues with an older model. If you continue to put it off you repair bills may continue to increase. The fact remains that when you install a brand new water heater it will likely be more efficient and pay for itself in the long haul.

Here are some signs that it might be time to upgrade your water heater:

• Leaking tank: If you see puddles around the bottom of the tank, this is a sure sign that the tank has a leak. This is often due to corrosion from sediments and minerals in the water. A leaky tank cannot be handled with a quick repair. In most cases, you will need to completely replace your water heater. Not to worry, we can help you find the best model that meets your needs and budget.
• Lack of hot water: Has there been a change in your water temperature? Are you running out of hot water too quickly? There may be an fundamental issue with your water heater that requires a replacement. We will check out your device and offer you a affordable option.
• Poor water quality: Starting to detect rust or sediment in your water? This is yet another indication that your tank is corroded, and that your water heater will have to be replaced.

Should You Choose Trenchless Sewer Repair?

If you don’t want to dig down to the sewer line to repair it you may be in luck. Many homeowners in the region opt for trenchless sewer line repairs. There are several benefits and advantages to a trenchless repair such as:

• Cost – Without having to dig to get to the pipes, you will save money.
• Time – Digging is the biggest part of a sewer line repair. Enabling a repair without digging can save a lot of time.
• Damage – If your sewer line repair is needed below a building or somewhere in your yard, digging to the repair will damage your basement or lawn. A trenchless repair keeps your garden intact.

Ask our experts at Vanguard Plumbing if a trenchless sewer repair is your best option.

How do you determine if you need to repipe?

Repiping your home is a tremendous task. Because of this, many homeowners will continuously put off repiping. Having said that, there are a number of signs that suggest you shouldn’t put off repiping. Typical signs include water pressure issues, extreme changes in the smell or color of your water, multiple repairs and frequent leaks. It may be necessary to consider repiping if you are dealing with any of these problems.

Tips to Avoid a Clogged Toilet

It should come as no surprise that this is one of the most frequent plumbing problems in your home. The truth is, if a clogged toilet is ignored it can lead to more expensive and serious issues. Here are some things you can do to make sure it happens less often:

• Flush twice if necessary.
• Installing childproof locks on the toilet seat so that children cannot flush things they shouldn’t.
• Place a small trash can next to the toilet for non water soluble items such as paper towels and diapers.
• Use a lighter toilet paper or use less toilet paper.
