Action Plumbing Company

In a plumbing emergency involving leaks, sewage, or water, your first step should be to shut off the main water supply. Then, contact our team immediately. Don't delay calling us, even if you're dealing with the aftermath. It's also advisable to turn off your water heater. For electric water heaters, if it's safe, cut the power to preserve the heating elements. While waiting for our service, try to contain small leaks with towels or buckets. The EPA reports that 10% of homes waste 90 gallons or more daily due to leaks. To relieve pressure in your pipes, turn on an outdoor faucet. Always rely on professional plumbers to ensure the issue is fully resolved. Contact us for more information.

Our team advises that water heaters typically last between 8 to 12 years. Signs that it's time for a replacement include premature hot water depletion, rusty water, leaks, or unusual noises. We recommend planning for a replacement approximately every decade. Regular maintenance, such as flushing out rust, silt, and debris, can help extend your water heater's life beyond its warranty period. If you're experiencing water heater issues, don't hesitate to reach out to Action Plumbing Company for assistance.
