Frequently Asked Questions
My garbage disposal keeps jamming, which is a common issue here in Canon City. What do you typically do to fix it?
We see this often due to hard water and food debris. Our process starts with safely clearing the jam and inspecting the disposal unit and blades for damage or wear. Often, a simple reset and cleaning solves the problem. If hard water scale is the culprit, we can descale the unit. For persistent issues or older models, we'll recommend a repair or a replacement with a more robust unit suited to our local water conditions, always discussing the options and costs with you upfront.
What's involved in switching from a standard tank water heater to a tankless system?
Switching to a tankless water heater involves a few key steps. First, we assess your home's gas line capacity and venting requirements to ensure proper installation. We then handle the removal of your old unit, install the new tankless system, and make all necessary connections for gas, water, and venting. The process typically takes a day, and we ensure everything is working efficiently before we leave. As a local master plumber with extensive gas line experience, Josh Townsend ensures the job meets all safety codes and is optimized for Canon City homes.
You offer plumbing inspections. When should a homeowner in Canon City consider scheduling one?
It's a good idea to schedule a professional plumbing inspection if you're buying an older home, planning a major remodel, or noticing subtle signs like decreased water pressure or slow drains. Given our area's hard water, an inspection can also proactively identify scale buildup in pipes and appliances before it causes a major problem. Our inspection is thorough, covering everything from visible fixtures to the main water line and sewer connection, providing you with a clear assessment and honest recommendations for any needed maintenance or repairs.
