Common signs include a noticeable increase in the time it takes for hot water to reach your faucet, unusual noises like humming or grinding from the pump, or visible leaks around the unit. As a provider of both installation and repair services for these systems, we can diagnose the issue—whether it's a faulty check valve, a worn-out pump, or air in the lines—and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your Westport home.

Yes, comprehensive plumbing inspections are a core service we provide, especially important for the many historic and older homes in our area. Our inspection covers water pressure, pipe condition, fixture operation, water heater efficiency, and checks for leaks or corrosion. This proactive service can identify potential problems like outdated materials or minor leaks before they become major, costly repairs, giving you peace of mind about your home's plumbing system.

Preventing frozen outdoor faucets (hose bibbs) is a key local concern. We recommend disconnecting hoses and installing insulated faucet covers before the first hard freeze. For a more permanent solution, we can install frost-free hose bibbs, which are designed to shut the water off inside your insulated wall, preventing freezing. If you suspect a faucet has already frozen or burst, it's important to shut off its water supply and call for professional repair to prevent water damage to your home's exterior or foundation.
