About Patrick David Plumbing in Pittsburgh, PA

A recirculation pump provides instant hot water at your faucet, which is especially helpful for cutting through kitchen grease when washing dishes. Instead of waiting for hot water to travel from your water heater, you get it immediately, using hotter water to dissolve grease more effectively and help prevent it from solidifying in your drains—a common local issue.

Often, a thorough professional cleaning or a targeted plumbing repair is sufficient to resolve a grease-clogged drain. Our team starts with a detailed plumbing inspection to assess the extent of the blockage and pipe condition. We'll recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether it's a repair or, if the pipes are severely compromised, a strategic replacement to prevent future problems.

Indirectly, yes. An efficient, properly sized water heater ensures you have an adequate supply of sufficiently hot water. Hotter water is more effective at breaking down grease and soap scum that contribute to slow drains. During an installation, we also check your overall system to ensure optimal performance and can advise on best practices to keep your drains clear.
