Leaks
Five signs of a leak you cannot see
Leaks start small, behind walls, beneath floors or underground. Catch one early and you avoid mold, wood rot and a bigger bill. Once we know where it is, our leak detection work ends in a repair, not a guess.
- A water bill that jumped
- Usage has not changed but the bill has. A leak you cannot see is the usual cause.
- Damp spots or staining
- Discolored walls, ceilings or floors, most often in bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.
- A musty smell or mold
- Moisture behind a wall or under the flooring grows mildew, and the smell lingers.
- Low water pressure
- A drop can mean water is escaping through a damaged pipe before it reaches the tap.
- Running water when nothing is on
- If you can hear water moving with every fixture off, something is leaking.
Hot water
Fix the water heater or replace it?
A failing heater does not always need replacing, but sometimes a new one is the cheaper choice over the next few years. We work on traditional tank and tankless models and will say so if a repair would only buy you a short stay.
Repair makes sense when
- The unit is under 8 to 10 years old
- The fault is small, like a thermostat or a heating element
- There is no serious corrosion or tank damage
- The repair costs sensibly against the age of the heater
Replacement is the better call when
- The heater is more than a decade old
- Breakdowns are frequent and the repairs keep stacking up
- You can see rust, leaks or a deteriorating tank
- Efficiency has dropped
- You want to move to tankless or a larger tank
The details are on the water heater page.
Water quality
What treating the water does for a house
Water quality varies around Selah. Hard minerals, sediment and chlorine shorten the life of appliances and fixtures, so we assess yours and recommend a softener, filter or purification setup to suit.
- Dishwashers, water heaters, washers and pipes collect less scale.
- Filtration takes out chlorine and sulfur, which improves taste and smell.
- Softened water is gentler on skin and hair, with less soap scum on glass and sinks.
- Reverse osmosis removes harmful contaminants from drinking water.
Businesses
Choosing a commercial plumber
Restaurants, retail spaces, rental facilities, offices and industrial property in Selah all run on plumbing that cannot sit broken. Ask any plumber these things first.
- Is the licence current, and has the crew worked under commercial codes before?
- Will they work to keep your downtime short?
- Do they bring the right gear for leak detection and drain maintenance?
- Can they set up routine maintenance so emergencies are rarer?
- Do you get a clear estimate and a firm schedule?
Our licence is ALLVAVP772L2 with Washington L&I, active and journey level. See commercial plumbing.
