Bernards Plumbing Services | Plumbing Services in Newport News, VA 23602

In our area, hard water can lead to mineral sediment accumulating in your water heater tank, reducing efficiency and potentially causing premature failure. Bernards Plumbing recommends an annual inspection and flush. This service removes sediment, improves heating performance, lowers energy bills, and extends the lifespan of your unit, helping you avoid unexpected cold showers and costly replacements.

While our winters are generally mild, occasional cold snaps can put pipes at risk, especially in unheated areas like crawl spaces or exterior walls. We advise insulating exposed pipes, sealing drafts, and letting a trickle of water run from faucets during extreme cold. If you suspect a pipe is frozen, call us immediately. Our team can safely thaw the pipe and perform any necessary water pipe repairs to prevent bursting and water damage.

For safety and to avoid causing further damage, it's best to call a professional. A strange noise often indicates a jammed or damaged component. Attempting a DIY repair can be hazardous and may void the warranty. Our technicians at Bernards Plumbing are experienced in garbage disposal repair and installation. We can quickly diagnose the issue, clear any obstructions safely, and advise if a simple repair or full replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your Newport News home.
