About Revive Plumbing & Drains in Rochester, NY

A recirculation pump provides instant hot water to faucets and showers, eliminating the wait and wasted cold water. This is especially helpful in colder months, as it reduces the risk of pipes cooling and potentially freezing in unused lines. It also improves efficiency for your water heater, a common concern with our hard water and sediment issues.

First, shut off the water supply to that faucet from inside your home and leave the outdoor valve open. Do not use an open flame to thaw it. Call us for a professional plumbing repair. We can safely thaw the line, check for splits or damage common in our freeze-thaw cycles, and may recommend installing a frost-proof sillcock to prevent future problems.

This is often due to sediment buildup from our local water supply, which insulates the heating element and causes rumbling or banging sounds. Regular maintenance, including flushing the tank, can resolve this. For persistent issues or older units, our plumbing inspection can determine if a repair or a new, more efficient water heater installation is the best long-term solution for your home.
