FAQs
How quickly should I address a leaking toilet seal in my Vermillion home?
Immediately. A leaking wax ring or seal under your toilet can cause significant water damage to your subfloor and lead to mold growth. In Vermillion's climate, any moisture issue can become costly. We recommend calling for toilet repair as soon as you notice water pooling at the base or a persistent damp smell. Jensen Plumbing can often replace the seal the same day, preventing more extensive damage to your home.
What can I do to prevent my pipes from freezing during a South Dakota winter?
Prevention is key. Before cold snaps, insulate pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawlspaces, and garages. Let a trickle of water run from faucets connected to pipes on exterior walls. Keep your home's thermostat set to at least 55°F, even if you're away. If you suspect a pipe is frozen, call us right away. Jensen Plumbing offers emergency plumbing repair for frozen and burst pipes, and we can also perform a plumbing inspection to identify vulnerable areas in your home before winter hits.
My garbage disposal is making a strange noise. Can you repair it, or is a full installation needed?
Often, strange noises are caused by a minor jam or a worn part that can be repaired. We'll first safely inspect the unit to diagnose the issue. In many cases, a simple garbage disposal repair resolves the problem. However, if the unit is very old, repeatedly failing, or has a cracked housing, a new garbage disposal installation might be more cost-effective for long-term reliability. We'll always provide a clear, upfront recommendation for your Vermillion home.
