Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plumbing Company

Yes they are.

We know how annoying and inconvenient it can be to hire someone to do a job, and not have it done right. We are happy to work with you to correct any issues from other plumbers, and we will provide a quote and explain exactly what needs to be done to undo the damage.

And if that last plumber was actually you trying to DIY it, don’t worry. We can fix that too, and we promise not to judge you.

It can be hard to pinpoint the precise cause of slow drains without looking at them, but it could be any number of factors. Food scraps, congealed oil, hair, skin, lotion, and soap scum can all contribute to a slow drain. Believe it or not, even tree roots can grow into drains and clog them.

No matter what the cause is, Philly Plumbing Pros’ professional drain cleaning services can help fix it to get things flowing for you again.

When it comes to appliances, you’re better off going directly to the manufacturer, or retailer you purchased it from if still under warranty. If this isn’t possible, look for a company that specializes in appliance repair.

Now if you’re having an issue with the plumbing connection to an appliance such as a washing machine or dishwasher, or if you want to install a water line to your fridge, then it’s time to call us.

Absolutely. If you have a rocking toilet this is an issue you’ll want to have fixed sooner rather than later. If not fixed right away, a rocking toilet can lead to a leaking toilet, or even a cracked toilet, and then you’re in for more significant damage. Call Philly Plumbing Pros before a rocking toilet causes more damage and leaks.

We love them. The money you spend on installing one will be saved time and time again in reduced water bills.

Generally speaking, foul smells coming from the drain are due to an issue with the “P-trap”. This is a curve in your pipe meant to trap sewer gases and stop them from getting into your home. Smells coming from the drain are a sign the “P-trap” needs to be repaired, and Philly Plumbing Pros can help with this.

First, try to determine the cause of the leak. If the leak is beneath a kitchen or bathroom it’s likely coming from one of the appliances or fixtures above. Stop using the fixtures, turn off the water to them, and call Philly Plumbing Pros. You may also need to turn off the water supply in order to stop more water from flowing through where the leak is.

Leaks coming through the ceiling can lead to issues with the stability of your home, not to mention the risk of mold growth, so it’s important to have these inspected when they occur to prevent further damage.

Chemical drain cleaners are bad for the environment and used too often can cause damage to your pipes. If you need one every now and then, it’s probably not going to be a huge issue, but if you are finding yourself needing them more and more often, it’s time to get a plumber to have a closer look at what’s clogging your pipes.

There are a number of reasons you could be experiencing low water pressure. Your showerhead might just need to be cleaned – test this by unscrewing it and seeing how the pressure is. If there is still an issue, you likely have a problem with your shower control.

Yes, certainly. Both electric and gas water heaters.
