Many people have started a bath and left the room to tend to something else, completely forgetting the running water. Unless it had been running for quite a few hours, chances are you will be faced with a maddening clean up job, but without damage to deal with. Not so much the case when you have a broken pipe or a water heater with a huge leak. When faced with this kind of plumbing disaster, it can damage walls, carpet, and countless other things in it’s way. Plumbing can be pretty expensive depending on what’s needed, so it’s best to have routine checks done by a professional to make certain all your plumbing is in proper working order. Avoid the disaster, call your professional plumber.

We all have our routines in the morning, and typically it includes a shower or bath. So here you are, ready to take that nice hot shower and instead you are greeted with freezing cold water. Since this is the first time using the water that day, you already know you didn’t run out of hot water. Possibly the pilot light is out on the water heater, and in that case it’s best to consult the owners manual to see how and where to relight it. However, if these aren’t the causes, a bigger problem is looming. When it is time to replace your water heater, although most of us try to cut costs as much as possible, doing it yourself is not a good idea. This unit is usually large and heavy and keep in mind it is a pressurized container. Rather than take on a project without the experience and knowledge needed, call a professional qualified plumber to get the job done and your hot water running again.
