Low water pressure creates problems for homeowners when it’s time to take a shower or do chores. When water pressure doesn’t seem as strong as it should, a few different issues could be at play.

A hidden leak somewhere in the house may also be responsible for low water pressure.

When a toilet runs, a significant amount of water can be wasted through this error. Luckily, a running toilet is often simple to correct.

These toilet parts are pretty affordable, and the repairs typically do not cost very much.

When drains are slow or clogged, it can be difficult to use your home’s plumbing system and fixtures. Drains and pipes can become clogged as debris builds up in the drain line from matter washed down kitchen and bathroom drains. If you cannot remove these clogs yourself, call in your plumber, who will use professional tools and methods to locate and remove a clog in the drain line and remove it. Do not use chemical drain cleaners to clear a clog, as these can damage your pipes and create potential problems in the future. If natural drain cleaning methods and plunging will not improve wastewater flow through your dreams, then it’s time to call the plumbers at Buckeye Heating, Cooling & Plumbing.

Plumbing repairs can be needed outside the home as well. The hose bib or outdoor spigot is often a source of leaks over the summer.

Our plumbers can install a new fixture, including frost-free models that reduce your risk of damage in the cold Ohio winter.

If your home has a basement or crawl space, sump pump repair can be an emergency, as sump pumps are necessary to stop flooding in these areas at certain points during the year. A sump pump may stop working correctly if it has been operating for a long continuous period or if something has fallen into the sump pit and become stuck within the discharge lines. Our plumbers can perform pump repair and get your sump pump working again. Ask us about battery backup sump pumps that can be an excellent line of defense should your primary pump suddenly quit working.

If you rely on your garbage disposal to handle significant volumes of kitchen waste, you may find it difficult to keep it running smoothly. Garbage disposals can experience malfunctions if they are operated without running water or if inappropriate items find their way into the device. Sometimes garbage disposal issues can be corrected by resetting the GFCI or removing the jammed object, with the power disconnected, of course. If you are unable to fix the garbage disposal issue on your own, your plumber will be able to figure out what’s wrong, repair it, or recommend you install a new garbage disposal.

All Columbus, Ohio, homes rely on water heaters for the hot water they need to complete showering, washing, and other activities. When you don’t have hot water, this issue is quite uncomfortable. Whether you have no hot water or just not enough hot water, a plumber can fix this issue.

When hot water suddenly disappears, there may be an issue with the pilot light on gas units. If you do not have enough hot water, sediment buildup in the bottom of a tank-style unit may be blocking heat from transferring from the heating element to the water supply. Water heaters can also experience faulty thermostats, thermocouples, pressure relief valves, and other issues with components. Servicing a water heater is best done by a professional, as fixing issues beyond relighting a pilot light can cause damage to the unit.
