Frequently Asked Questions For Our Grand Prairie TX Plumbing Team

My toilet is constantly running, what can I do?

In our experience, a running toilet is generally the result of worn parts or incorrect alignment of a component in the flushing mechanism. It's important to stop these leaks right away, as they can cause your water usage to soar, resulting in higher bills. Call in a professional from our Grand Prairie TX Plumbing to fix it today.

What is a vent and do I need one for my plumbing system?

A plumbing vent is a unit that sticks out from the roof of your home, around 12" high. This mechanism will allow sewer gasses to be released from your home so that they don't stay inside. It also puts air into your pipes so that your water fixtures, such as your sinks, will drain correctly. Without a vent the fixture may not drain correctly and may cause a backup inside your home.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

Drain cleaners are often very toxic and it's not a good idea to keep them inside your home, especially if you have pets or small children. The toxic chemicals found in these products can cause damage to your pipes, such as deterioration from the inside out. Continued use of these products may require you to replace your pipes earlier than necessary. We suggest leaving the drain cleaning to our Grand Prairie TX plumbing experts.

I have a large leak in my home, what can I do?

The first thing you'll need to do is turn the main water supply valve off. Make sure that you don't touch any electrical fittings that are wet. Second, call our office and speak with one of our Grand Prairie TX plumbing experts for further assistance.
