Worried Homeowner Sitting Next to an Under-Sink Pipe

Signs Your Plumbing Needs Repair or Replacement

Your plumbing system has an expiration date.  Where that date falls largely depends on when your home was built, whether the plumbing has ever been upgraded, and how well –or poorly—the system was maintained.  What is Your Plumbing Made Of?  Today, many older Houston homes, like those in our Montrose and Heights neighborhoods—that still have…

As a blog writer for a plumbing company, I get many requests for content about “do-it-yourself” plumbing options.

Do I Need a Water Heater Expansion Tank?

We’ve said it many times over the years, but nobody pays attention to their water heater—until it causes a problem.

What Can Water Damage Do to My Home?

Water damage. Just two words.

Your Houston Guide to Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Drain and sewer lines carry wastewater away from your home’s kitchen and bathroom. Houston homeowners are thankful for that since they don’t want wastewater to remain anywhere in or near the house. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. An unforeseen leak in a drain or sewer line can lead to raw sewage leaking onto your…
"Why Is My Water Heater in the Attic?"

Why Is Your Water Heater in the Attic?

Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s take a four-foot tall, cylindrical metal tank, fill it with seventy gallons of hot water, and install it in the attic directly over your family’s living space! If you had never considered the above idea, you’d be well within your rights to stare at me like I grew a…

New Appliances and Old Plumbing. A Match or a Miss?

Installing or replacing a washing machine or dishwasher has always been a simple, straightforward job for professional plumbers. Even if the homeowner hadn’t previously had either appliance in the home, adding the necessary fittings and fixtures was as easy as hooking a hot water line, cold water line, and drain to the machine. Some folks,…

When Should I Replace My Water Heater?

Chances are you never give your water heater a second thought until you find yourself taking a cold shower. While this is never a pleasant experience, it might not be the end of the world for your water heater. By their construction, water heaters are doomed to fail. You’re putting nature’s most effective solvent, which…

What Can Go Wrong with a Shower Diverter?

Did you know that if you have a combination bathtub and shower head, you also have a shower diverter device? You use it every time you need to redirect water flow from your bathtub faucet to the showerhead.

Can My Water Heater Really Explode?

Worrying about some domestic disasters is enough to keep some homeowners awake all night. Tree limbs can crash down onto your roof, your new in-ground swimming pool could develop a leak, or your water heater could explode. My what could WHAT?
