Q&A
What should I do if I suspect a slab leak in my Colfax home?
If you notice unexplained increases in your water bill, hear running water when fixtures are off, or find warm spots on your floor, you may have a slab leak—a common issue in our area due to soil shifts. Don't wait, as it can cause significant foundation damage. Call us immediately at 530-308-9725. We use specialized electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the leak's exact location with minimal disruption, then provide clear repair options, which often involve rerouting pipes or performing a targeted slab penetration to fix the leak efficiently.
Why is my water heater in Colfax not producing enough hot water?
A frequent culprit in Colfax is sediment buildup from our local mineral-rich water. Over time, sediment settles at the bottom of the tank, insulating the water from the heat source and reducing efficiency and capacity. As part of our standard water heater service, we can flush your tank to remove this sediment, which often restores performance and extends the unit's life. If the issue persists or the unit is older, we can discuss repair or a new, properly sized installation to ensure your household has reliable hot water.
Do you handle both septic and sewer system services?
Yes, we provide comprehensive wastewater services for Colfax and the surrounding foothill communities. For homes on septic systems, we offer installation, routine pumping, inspections, and repairs to keep your system functioning properly. For properties connected to municipal sewer lines, we handle everything from clearing blockages and repairing broken lines to new sewer line installations. Our expertise ensures that whether your home uses a septic tank or public sewer, we have the right tools and knowledge to diagnose and resolve any issue.
