Questions and Answers

My water pressure has been low throughout my Merrillville home. What could be the cause, and can Downing Plumbing help?

Low water pressure in Merrillville homes is common and can stem from several issues, such as mineral buildup in pipes, a faulty pressure regulator, or hidden leaks. Downing Plumbing handles this by first conducting a thorough plumbing inspection to diagnose the exact cause. Our licensed technicians will check your water pipes, faucets, and the main supply line. We then explain our findings clearly and provide repair options, which may include water pipe repair or replacement, faucet repair, or addressing the pressure regulator. We get your water flow back to normal efficiently.

Do you offer warranties on new plumbing installations like water heaters or toilets?

Yes, we stand firmly behind our work. Downing Plumbing provides a two-year residential warranty on our plumbing services, including installations like water heaters, toilets, sinks, and full plumbing system replacements. This warranty covers both the quality of our workmanship and the parts we install, giving you long-term peace of mind. It's part of our commitment to providing reliable, lasting solutions for homeowners in Northwest Indiana.

What should I do if my outdoor faucet freezes or bursts during a Northwest Indiana winter?

If an outdoor faucet freezes or bursts, the first step is to shut off the water supply to that line at your interior shut-off valve to prevent flooding. For safe and effective repairs, call Downing Plumbing. Our technicians are experienced with the specific challenges of Indiana winters. We can repair or replace the damaged faucet and pipe section, and we often recommend installing frost-proof hose bibbs to prevent the issue from recurring. We offer same-day appointments for such emergencies to protect your home from water damage.
