FAQs
How does San Francisco's drought affect my home's plumbing, and what can you do?
Drought conditions can cause soil to shift and settle, putting extra stress on underground water and sewer lines, leading to cracks or breaks. At Drain Busters, we perform thorough plumbing inspections to identify early signs of stress. For repairs, we use trenchless sewer repair methods where possible to minimize disruption and protect your landscape. We also recommend and install durable, corrosion-resistant piping to help your system withstand these challenging conditions.
I have hard water and a water softener. Why am I still having plumbing issues?
Water softeners require regular maintenance to function properly. A malfunctioning unit can lead to scale buildup in pipes and appliances, reducing efficiency and causing damage. Our service includes inspecting your entire water system, from the softener to your faucets and water heater. We can repair or replace faulty softeners and address any resulting scale buildup in your pipes to restore water flow and protect your plumbing from further wear.
What's the best type of water heater for a San Francisco home dealing with hard water?
For homes with hard water, we often recommend tankless water heaters. They have fewer issues with sediment buildup compared to traditional tank models, which can be damaged by scale. During installation, we can also integrate a properly sized and maintained water softener to protect the unit. We'll assess your home's specific needs, considering our local water quality, to provide a reliable and energy-efficient hot water solution that lasts.
