FAQs

In a plumbing emergency involving leaks, sewage, or water, the first step is to shut off the main water supply immediately. Contact our team without delay. It's advisable to turn off your water heater as well. For electric water heaters, if safe, disconnect the power to protect the heating elements. While awaiting service, contain small leaks with towels or buckets. The EPA reports that 10% of homes waste 90 gallons or more daily due to leaks. To relieve pressure, open an outdoor spigot or hose. Always consult professional plumbers to ensure complete problem resolution. Contact us for more information.

Our team advises that water heaters typically last between 8 and 12 years. Signs that replacement may be necessary include premature hot water depletion, rusty water, leaks, or unusual noises. We recommend planning for replacement approximately every decade. Regular flushing of rust, silt, and debris can extend the life of your water heater beyond its warranty period. If you're experiencing water heater issues, please contact Action Plumbing Company for assistance.

According to our experts, sump pumps generally have a lifespan of about ten years, though they may begin to show signs of failure around the seven-year mark. Once your sump pump reaches seven years of age, it's recommended to have it inspected regularly.
