The typical water heater lasts 8 to 12 years, though this will depend on the manufacturer and type of water heater. Routine maintenance will help extend the life of your unit.

You can prevent frozen pipes during the coldest times of the year by allowing sink faucets to slightly drip non–stop, especially if you’re away from home for several days.

The most common cause for dripping faucets is typically that the internal mechanisms within the faucet need to be rebuilt or replaced.

The first step to take is to shut off the main water valve. Once that is done, it is recommended that you contact a plumber ASAP to assess the root cause of the issue.

Drainage problems are usually the result of clogging. The age of your pipes might also be a factor. Slow drainage can indicate a large clog, roots in the pipeline, or backups from the sewer. If these problems become frequent or worsen you should contact a plumber to assess the issue,.
