Abe Lincoln Plumbing - Lancaster's Experienced Plumbing Contractor

Lancaster's hard water leads to mineral sediment that reduces efficiency and can cause failure. We recommend annual maintenance, including a professional flush of your water heater tank. During our plumbing inspections, we check for sediment and can perform a thorough cleaning. For older units, we often suggest installing a new, more efficient water heater with better sediment management to save on energy bills.

After seismic activity, check for leaks at pipe joints, behind walls, and near the water heater. Look for cracks in foundation slabs where main lines enter. We provide detailed plumbing inspections specifically for earthquake damage, assessing gas lines for dangerous leaks and sewer lines for misalignment or cracks. Prompt repair of these issues prevents major water damage and ensures safety.

It could be. Slow drains often signal a blockage in your home's line or the main sewer. Given the soil shifts and potential for earthquake damage in our area, tree root intrusion or pipe misalignment is common. We perform camera inspections to pinpoint the exact problem, whether it's a simple drain repair or a more complex sewer repair or installation, to restore proper flow and prevent backups.
