Questions and Answers
As an Archer homeowner with a septic system, what should I do if I suspect an overflow?
A septic overflow is a serious issue that requires immediate attention to prevent property damage and health hazards. For Archer residents, Kempton & Self provides expert sewer repair and hydro-jetting services to clear blockages and assess the system. We can perform a thorough plumbing inspection, often using video camera technology, to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a clogged drain field, a broken pipe, or a failing tank component. Our local experience means we understand common soil conditions and system types in the area, allowing for an efficient and effective repair to restore your system's function.
My water heater is failing. Do you handle both repair and full replacement?
Yes, we provide complete water heater services. Our team can diagnose the issue—be it a faulty heating element, sediment buildup, or a leaking tank—and advise if a repair is a reliable, cost-effective solution. If a replacement is necessary, we professionally install new units, including efficient hot water recirculation pumps to eliminate wait times for hot water. As a family-owned business operating since 1989, we take the time to explain your options, provide a clear estimate, and ensure the installation meets all local codes, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
What does a 'whole house re-pipe' involve, and when might my Archer home need one?
A whole house re-pipe involves replacing the main water supply lines and branch lines throughout your home's walls and ceilings. This is often needed for older homes in our area with galvanized steel pipes that have corroded, leading to reduced water pressure, discolored water, or persistent leaks. Kempton & Self specializes in this major plumbing installation. We manage the project with minimal disruption, protecting your property and cleaning up thoroughly afterward. With over three decades in business, we've performed many re-pipes, ensuring the new system provides reliable, clean water for your household's long-term needs.
