Question Answers

What's the most common cause of low water pressure in Fort Collins homes, and how do you fix it?

In Fort Collins, a frequent culprit for low water pressure is mineral buildup from hard water in aerators, showerheads, and older galvanized pipes. Our first step is a thorough plumbing inspection to pinpoint the issue. For localized problems, we can clean or replace fixtures. If the problem stems from corroded main supply lines, we provide clear options for pipe repair or replacement, such as trenchless methods where possible, to restore proper flow with minimal disruption to your property.

Do you offer maintenance plans for HVAC systems in our climate?

Yes, we offer HVAC system maintenance tailored to Fort Collins' distinct seasons. Our maintenance service includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning coils, inspecting heat exchangers, and ensuring your system is ready for both our hot summers and cold winters. Regular maintenance helps prevent mid-winter breakdowns, improves efficiency to manage energy costs, and extends the life of your equipment. We provide flexible scheduling to keep your home comfortable year-round.

My toilet is leaking at the base. Is this a serious issue?

A leak at the base of a toilet, often from a broken wax seal, is a problem that should be addressed promptly. It can lead to water damage to your subfloor and flooring, and potentially cause mold or mildew. Our repair process involves removing the toilet, thoroughly cleaning the area, inspecting the flange for damage, and installing a new, high-quality wax or rubber seal. We'll ensure a proper, watertight fit to prevent future leaks and protect your bathroom from damage.
