About Superior Hydronics in Alamosa, CO

Yes, installing a recirculation pump can be a smart preventative measure. By keeping hot water moving through your pipes, especially in less-used lines, it helps maintain a temperature above freezing. Combined with proper insulation, this is an effective strategy for our cold San Luis Valley winters, potentially preventing the costly damage and water waste from burst pipes.

Absolutely, kitchen grease clogs are very common in Alamosa homes. Over time, grease solidifies inside pipes, catching food particles and creating a stubborn blockage. We don't just use a chemical drain cleaner that can damage pipes. Our repair service involves professional snaking or hydro-jetting to thoroughly clear the clog and inspect the line for any damage, ensuring a long-term solution and preventing future backups.

First, immediately shut off the water supply to the washing machine or the main house valve to stop the flow. Then, call us for emergency plumbing repair. We'll respond quickly to repair or replace the burst hose and assess for any water damage. We also highly recommend a plumbing inspection to check all appliance connections and suggest preventative upgrades, like installing braided stainless steel hoses, to avoid a repeat incident.
