Signs Your Water Heater May Need To Be Replaced

Is your water heater acting up? Is it more than 10-15 years old? If you answered yes to those two questions, then you may need to replace your water heater. Other signs that indicate you may need to invest in a water heater replacement soon include having a tank that is leaking or corroding, as this will only create more problems for you in the future.

However, if your water heater is relatively new and has an issue such as a burned out pilot light or an electrical issue, repair will suffice. In any case, we will always recommend the most cost-effective solution for you.

Difference Between Drain Cleaning vs. Drain Snaking

When you schedule professional services to remove a clogged drain, the technician might perform drain cleaning or drain snaking services. Some of the key differences between the two methods are:

• Drain snaking or cabling: A plumber will only remove the clog that is causing the blockage in your drain. The expert will insert a snake into the pipe that can be powered by a motor to rotate the cable to break up the blockage. This removes the clog, but it leaves the remnants of the blockage in your pipes, meaning the clog could return.
• Drain cleaning: With drain cleaning services, your pipes are completely flushed out, removing the clog and its particles. It also helps prevent clogs from forming by removing any small blockages before they get bigger.
