What are the signs of a slab leak, and how do you detect it?
Signs of a slab leak include unusually high water bills, water leaking through the foundation, wet or flooded landscaping or flooring, cracks in the foundation, and decreased water pressure. We use advanced electronic sonar leak detection equipment to accurately locate and repair slab leaks.
What is high-pressure hydro jetting, and when is it used?
High-pressure hydro jetting is a method of cleaning pipes using powerful streams of water to remove debris, grease, and buildup that can cause blockages. It is typically used for softer obstructions that a cable machine cannot effectively clear.
What is the difference between trenchless sewer repair and traditional methods?
Trenchless sewer repair is a less invasive method of repairing or replacing sewer lines without digging large trenches. It is generally faster and causes less disruption to your property compared to traditional methods, which involve extensive digging.
Tankless Water Heaters FAQs
What are Tankless Water Heaters?
Tankless water heaters, known commonly as electric, on-demand or instantaneous or water heaters, heat water only when needed, eliminating the need for a storage tank. They are popular for their energy efficiency and space-saving design.
What are the benefits of Tankless Water Heaters?
Tankless water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water, save energy by heating water only as needed, and take up less space compared to traditional storage tank heaters. They also have a longer lifespan and maintain efficiency over time.
How do Tankless Water Heaters work?
When you open a hot water tap, cold water enters the heater, triggering the heating elements or gas burners to turn on. The water is heated as it passes through the unit and is delivered directly to your faucet or appliance.
How much money can I save with a Tankless Water Heater?
Savings vary depending on the model and your existing system, but you could reduce your hot water heating costs by 11% to 69% by switching to a tankless water heater.
Can a Tankless Water Heater really provide an endless supply of hot water?
Yes, tankless water heaters provide continuous hot water as long as the unit’s flow rate is not exceeded. Unlike traditional heaters, they don’t run out of hot water because they heat water on demand.
Are there other benefits of a Tankless Water Heater?
Yes, they are small and can be installed in tight spaces, are made of durable materials, are more environmentally friendly, and avoid the risk of leaks that can occur with traditional storage tank heaters.
What if I have very hard water?
Tankless water heaters are less affected by mineral buildup than storage tank heaters because they do not store water. However, using a water softener with a tankless system is recommended if you have very hard water.
How do I properly size a Tankless Water Heater for my home?
You should choose a model based on your household’s peak hot water demand, measured by the number of showers and fixtures you plan to use simultaneously.
Can I fill a hot tub with a Tankless Water Heater?
Yes, but the time it takes to fill the tub depends on the unit’s size and the flow rate. Larger units will fill the tub faster.
Is this technology new?
No, tankless water heaters have been used for over 75 years in Europe, Asia, and South America. They are becoming more popular in the U.S. as people learn about their benefits.
Are these products expensive to install?
Installation costs can vary depending on the model and your existing infrastructure. Some units may require upgrades to venting or electrical service, but the long-term savings and benefits often outweigh the initial cost.
