Frequently Asked Questions About Howell-Chase Heating and Air Conditioning Services
What should be done immediately if a pipe bursts in the house?
The very first step is to locate and close the main shut-off valve to stop the flow of water throughout the property. Once the water is off, open the lowest faucets in the house to drain the remaining pressure from the lines. If the leak is near electrical panels or outlets, avoid the area and shut off the electricity at the breaker if it is safe to do so. Quick action in these first few minutes is the best way to prevent extensive damage to flooring and drywall.
How can I tell if a drain issue is a local clog or a main line problem?
If only one fixture is backing up, such as a single sink or toilet, the issue is likely localized to that specific pipe. However, if multiple drains are gurgling or backing up simultaneously—especially when you run the washing machine or dishwasher—the problem is likely located in the main sewer line. Main line issues require specialized heavy-duty equipment to clear obstructions like tree roots or significant buildup deep within the system.
Is it necessary to call for professional help for a failing water heater?
While some minor pilot light issues might be simple, any signs of leaking from the tank itself or unusual banging noises should be addressed by a technician. A leaking tank often indicates internal corrosion that cannot be repaired and may lead to a total rupture. Professionals can also ensure that gas or electrical connections are handled safely and that the unit is venting properly to prevent hazardous conditions in the home.
Why is water pressure suddenly low throughout the entire residence?
A sudden drop in pressure across all faucets usually points to a problem with the main supply line or a malfunctioning pressure-reducing valve. It could also indicate a major leak hidden underground between the water meter and the house. A technician can perform a pressure test and use leak detection technology to find the source of the drop without having to dig up the entire yard, ensuring a faster and less invasive repair.
What are the signs of a hidden leak behind walls or under the floor?
Common indicators include unexplained damp spots on carpets, peeling wallpaper, or a musty odor that persists even after cleaning. You might also notice a sudden, significant increase in your monthly water bill despite no change in usage. In some cases, you may hear the sound of running water behind a wall even when all faucets are turned off. Early detection is key to avoiding structural wood rot and mold growth.
