The best defense is proper winterization. Before the first hard freeze, shut off the water supply valve inside your home that feeds the outdoor faucet, then open the outdoor spigot to drain any remaining water. For added protection, especially on older homes, our plumbers can install frost-proof hose bibs. As part of our plumbing inspection service, we check all outdoor faucets and can perform this preventative maintenance to avoid a costly pipe repair come spring.

Absolutely. Hard water is common in our area and is a leading cause of mineral and soap scum buildup in pipes, leading to slow drains. While store-bought cleaners offer a temporary fix, they can damage pipes. A professional plumbing inspection from Romalex can identify the extent of the buildup. We then use professional-grade drain cleaning equipment to safely clear the blockage and may recommend solutions like a water softener or specific maintenance routines to keep your drains flowing freely.

Yes, installing a hot water recirculation pump is an excellent solution for this common frustration. It creates a loop that keeps hot water circulating near your fixtures, so you get hot water almost instantly, reducing water waste. This is especially beneficial for larger homes or homes with bathrooms far from the water heater. Our licensed plumbers at Romalex can assess your home's layout and recommend the right recirculation pump system for efficient installation, saving you time, water, and money on your bills.
