What Causes Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are major plumbing emergencies. One way to prevent these from occurring is to be aware of some of their possible causes. These can include:
- Freezing temperatures: This can cause the water inside pipes to freeze and expand.
- Major clogs: This will cause water pressure to build-up and can eventually lead to pipes breaking.
- Aging pipes: Aging pipes can corrode and crack.
- Tree roots: Nearby tree roots can infiltrate your pipes and cause damage.
- Shift: A shift in the earth can cause pipes to break.
- Construction: A major construction project could have a tendency to damage pipes, causing them to burst.
Easy Ways To Prevent Clogged Drains
When you experience a clogged drain at your house or building, it’s important to remove the blockage as soon as possible to prevent potential water damage. There are some ways to prevent these clogs from forming in the first place, including:
- Don’t put leftover food down the kitchen drain. Instead, scrape it into the trash.
- If you need to dispose of grease, don’t put it down the drain. Instead, let it cool in a container and then throw it away.
- Avoid letting hair go down bathroom drains. Install screens over the bathtub and shower drain to collect it.
- Don’t flush anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
- Schedule regular professional drain cleanings with a plumber.

Common Issues With Water Heaters
Like all appliances or systems in your household, occasionally your water heater will encounter issues that will require professional repairs. Some of these common problems can include:
- It’s not producing hot water: One of the most common issues with a unit can be if it is no longer producing hot water. This can be due to a failed pilot light or a damaged heating element.
- The unit is leaking: Depending on the severity of the leak, a plumber can determine if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
- The unit is making excess noise: Loud noises coming from the unit can be due to a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment in the system.
- There are cracks in the system: Any cracks in the unit should be inspected by a professional to decide if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

Pride Plumbing came out and used PEX piping and fittings to cap the hot and cold water lines going to and coming from a water heater underneath the home. We also provided a cost estimate to replace the unit with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem model. This would include removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, a new brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections, ensuring that the unit was properly vented, and setting it to its appropriate operating temperature.

Pride Plumbing came out and pumped a 2,000 gallon commercial septic tank and an additional 1,000 gallons from a pump pit. After pumping the tank and pit, we found that the breaker for the sewer pumps had tripped. We reset the breaker and they began working again.

Pride Plumbing was called out for sewage backing up into the building. Our inspection determined that the customer's septic tank and pump station were full. We provided a cost estimate to call in our septic pump, uncover the septic tank, pump it out, ensure proper drainage and flushing, install septic tank risers (so that the tank’s access covers are at ground level for better future access), and cover the tank back up.

Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to: 1) trench a ditch from an existing water meter to the church to expose and remove the outside main water supply line; 2) install a new 1-inch black roll and PEX outside main water supply line from the water meter to the church along with installing tracer wire; 3) connect the new water line to an existing water line connection under the church and install a ball valve main water cut off; 4) install a new thermal expansion tank on the main water line under the church; 5) install a new pressure reducing valve (PRV), ball valve, and check valve at the water meter in the meter box; 6) test new water line for working order; and 7) backfill and tamp ditch after work is completed and approved by the county’s inspection department.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a leaking bathtub drain. We removed the drain, applied plumber's putty to its threads, reinstalled it, tested for leaks, and the issue was corrected. We provided a cost estimate to replace the drain and overflow.
