Question Answers
My bathroom drain in my older Pittsburgh home is constantly slow. What's the most common cause and how do you fix it?
In many older Pittsburgh neighborhoods, slow bathroom drains are frequently caused by a buildup of hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits from our hard water. At RJS Plumbing, we start with a thorough camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause of the clog. For these stubborn local buildups, we often use professional-grade hydro-jetting, which powerfully clears the pipe walls without damaging your plumbing. We provide an upfront price for the diagnostic and cleaning service so you know the cost before we begin.
Do you offer upfront pricing for repairs like toilet installations or garbage disposal replacements?
Absolutely. We believe in transparency, so we always provide a clear, upfront price for every job, whether it's a simple faucet repair or a complete toilet or garbage disposal installation. After diagnosing the issue, we'll explain the necessary work and the total cost—with no hidden fees or surprises. This honest approach is the core of our service, ensuring Pittsburgh homeowners can make informed decisions about their plumbing repairs.
My water heater isn't producing enough hot water. Is this a common issue in Pittsburgh, and can you repair it?
Yes, sediment buildup in water heaters is a very common issue in Pittsburgh due to mineral content in our local water supply. This sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, reducing efficiency and hot water capacity. As residential plumbing specialists, we can often restore performance by flushing the tank to remove the sediment. If the unit is old or damaged, we provide honest advice and upfront pricing for repair versus replacement, including efficient installation of a new water heater if needed.
