Local Business Description
Shookie's Plumbing & Heating was born from a very real, local need. When owner Shookie's own boiler broke down years ago and money was tight, he rolled up his sleeves and figured it out himself. That hands-on, problem-solving spark led him to pursue the trade professionally. He started his career with a major oil company, attending their specialized schools, and further honed his skills with college-level trade courses. For over 15 years, he's been perfecting his craft right here in Shamokin. Today, Shookie's Plumbing & Heating brings that deep-rooted, practical experience to every job. We believe in quality work at fair prices, offering 24/7 emergency service for plumbing, heating, and air conditioning. From installations and repairs to water heaters and gas service, we're your local neighbor you can rely on.
Q&A
What does a standard plumbing inspection in Shamokin cover?
Our plumbing inspection is a thorough check of your home's key systems. We look for leaks, test water pressure, inspect pipes for corrosion or damage (especially important with our freeze-thaw cycles), and assess fixtures like toilets and sinks. For Shamokin homes, we pay special attention to areas prone to issues like bathroom drain buildup and check for vulnerabilities that could lead to frozen pipes. It's a proactive way to catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
My pipes are frozen. What should I do, and can you help?
First, if you suspect a frozen pipe, turn off the main water supply to prevent potential flooding if it bursts. Then, call us immediately. As a local, 24-hour emergency service in Shamokin, we understand how quickly freezing temperatures can affect homes here. We'll work to safely thaw the pipe, locate the cause (often inadequate insulation in basements or crawl spaces), and recommend solutions to prevent it from happening again, protecting your home from water damage.
Why is bathroom drain buildup a common issue for local homeowners?
In our area, bathroom drain clogs are often caused by a combination of hair, soap scum, and the mineral content in Shamokin's water supply, which can create stubborn buildup over time. During a plumbing inspection or service call, we don't just clear the immediate clog. We use tools like drain cameras to assess the extent of the buildup and can perform a thorough hydro-jetting service to clean the pipes completely, helping to restore proper flow and prevent near-term future blockages.
