Xstream Plumbing & Mechanical - Lakewood's Top-Rated Plumbing Service

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by sediment from our water supply settling in the tank's bottom. This buildup insulates the water from the heat source, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging the unit. Xstream Plumbing can perform a professional flush to remove the sediment and inspect the heating elements or gas burner. For older units, we offer expert water heater repair or installation to restore reliable hot water for your household.

Absolutely. Burst washing machine hoses are a frequent emergency call we get in Lakewood. The rubber in standard hoses degrades over time and can fail under pressure. We recommend replacing old rubber hoses with braided stainless steel supply lines, which are much more durable. As part of our plumbing installation and repair services, we can install these reinforced hoses and inspect the nearby valves and connections to ensure your laundry area is secure and prevent future water damage.

Proactive maintenance is key to avoiding major issues. We recommend an annual plumbing inspection where we check for signs of wear on critical components like water heater anode rods, sump pump operation, garbage disposal blades, and pipe connections. This service allows us to spot potential problems—like a weakening laundry hose or early sediment buildup—before they turn into emergencies. It's a cost-effective way to extend the life of your plumbing systems and protect your home from unexpected leaks or failures.
