Plumbing Service Richmond VA | Call H & B Plumbing Solutions

A leaking outdoor faucet is a common issue here, especially after winter. First, turn off the water supply to that faucet. Even a small drip can waste hundreds of gallons and increase your water bill. For a proper fix, our team at H & B can perform a plumbing repair to replace worn washers or seals, or install a frost-proof hose bib to prevent future freezing and leaks, saving you money and water.

Prevention is key! Before a freeze, disconnect garden hoses and insulate exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like garages or crawlspaces. Let a trickle of water run from faucets connected to vulnerable pipes. If a pipe does freeze, call us immediately for water pipe repair. We can safely thaw the pipe and assess for damage to prevent a burst when it thaws, protecting your Richmond home from major water damage.

We recommend being proactive, especially with Richmond's hard water which can shorten a water heater's lifespan. Waiting for a failure often leads to emergency calls and potential water damage. Our plumbing inspection can assess your unit's condition and efficiency. A planned water heater installation allows you to choose an energy-efficient model suited to your home's needs, ensuring reliable hot water and often lowering your monthly energy bills.
