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. Between 7-10 years is the most you can expect your water heater to last. If you have an older unit that is starting to show signs and symptoms of failure, you might want to consider a replacement. Installing a new, more cost-efficient unit will help you spend less on repair bills that may begin to accumulate as your unit ages.

Signals it is time to upgrade your water heater:

• 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 primary issue with your water heater that demands a replacement. We will check your unit and provide you with a economical option.
• Leaking tank: If you notice puddles near the base of the tank, this is a sure sign that the tank is leaking. This is often due to corrosion from sediments and minerals in the water. A leaking tank cannot be handled with a quick repair. In most cases, you will need to replace your entire water heater. Don’t worry, we will help you choose the best model that suits your budget and needs.
• Poor water quality: Are you beginning to detect rust or sediment in your water? This is yet another signal that the tank has corroded, and that your water heater should be replaced.

Is Trenchless Sewer Repair Right for You?

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

• Time – Digging is the biggest part of a sewer line repair. Making a repair without having to dig 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.
• Cost – Without the task of digging to get to the pipes, you will save money.

Ask the experts at Vanguard Plumbing if a trenchless sewer repair is right for you.

Signs you Need to Repipe

Repiping your home is a monumental task. Many homeowners will try to refrain from repiping for as long as they can but there are some indicators that you might notice that mean you definitely need to repipe. The most common signs include water pressure issues, drastic changes in the color or smell of your water, multiple repairs and frequent leaks. If you encounter any of of these problems, you may want to consider repiping.

Tips to Try To Avoid a Clogged Toilet

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

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