The right water heater size depends on the number of people in your household and daily water usage. A 40-gallon tank is generally sufficient for smaller households of 2–3 people, while a 50-gallon tank is better for families of 4 or more. Larger households or those with higher hot water demand may require an even bigger system or consider tankless options.

Tankless water heaters should typically be serviced once a year to ensure optimal efficiency and longevity. Regular maintenance includes flushing the system to remove mineral buildup, inspecting the heating elements, and checking for leaks. Homes with hard water may require more frequent service.

Yes. While store-bought drain cleaners provide temporary relief, they often cause damage to pipes over time. Professional drain cleaning uses safe, effective methods such as hydro jetting or augering to remove clogs and restore proper flow. Hiring a licensed plumber ensures the issue is resolved without creating future problems.

Coverage depends on your insurance policy. Many homeowner insurance policies cover the damage caused by a slab leak, such as flooring or foundation repairs, but may not cover the actual plumbing repair itself. Always check your policy or consult your insurance provider for details.

An AC change-out refers to replacing the main components of your air conditioning system, usually the indoor unit, outdoor unit, or both. This process is done when your current system is outdated, inefficient, or no longer repairable. A change out improves performance, lowers energy costs, and ensures reliable cooling.

The most effective method for cleaning a drain line is professional hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to remove buildup, grease, and debris. For maintenance, flushing your drain line with a safe cleaning solution and scheduling routine inspections helps prevent major blockages.

Yes. Always turn off your air conditioner before attempting to clean the drain line. This ensures safety and prevents damage to the system. While homeowners can handle minor maintenance tasks like flushing the line, more advanced cleaning should be left to a professional to avoid costly mistakes.
