What Causes Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are major plumbing emergencies. One way to prevent these from occurring is to be aware of some of their possible causes. These can include:
- Freezing temperatures: This can cause the water inside pipes to freeze and expand.
- Major clogs: This will cause water pressure to build-up and can eventually lead to pipes breaking.
- Aging pipes: Aging pipes can corrode and crack.
- Tree roots: Nearby tree roots can infiltrate your pipes and cause damage.
- Shift: A shift in the earth can cause pipes to break.
- Construction: A major construction project could have a tendency to damage pipes, causing them to burst.
Easy Ways To Prevent Clogged Drains
When you experience a clogged drain at your house or building, it’s important to remove the blockage as soon as possible to prevent potential water damage. There are some ways to prevent these clogs from forming in the first place, including:
- Don’t put leftover food down the kitchen drain. Instead, scrape it into the trash.
- If you need to dispose of grease, don’t put it down the drain. Instead, let it cool in a container and then throw it away.
- Avoid letting hair go down bathroom drains. Install screens over the bathtub and shower drain to collect it.
- Don’t flush anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
- Schedule regular professional drain cleanings with a plumber.

Common Issues With Water Heaters
Like all appliances or systems in your household, occasionally your water heater will encounter issues that will require professional repairs. Some of these common problems can include:
- It’s not producing hot water: One of the most common issues with a unit can be if it is no longer producing hot water. This can be due to a failed pilot light or a damaged heating element.
- The unit is leaking: Depending on the severity of the leak, a plumber can determine if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
- The unit is making excess noise: Loud noises coming from the unit can be due to a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment in the system.
- There are cracks in the system: Any cracks in the unit should be inspected by a professional to decide if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.

Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to perform the following work: 1) use a locator to find where roots are located in a 6-inch outside sewer septic drain line; 2) dig up the drain line past the roots and cut and remove the defective section of pipe; 3) replace the sewer line with new 6-inch PVC piping and fittings along with installing a new PVC two-way clean out; and 4) test the new piping for leaks and working order and then backfill the area we dug out.

Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to perform the following work: 1) cap an existing roof drain with a Fernco cap; 2) reroute new roof drain piping approximately 30-feet to an existing roof drain pipe and tie it in; 3) install the proper fittings and supports for the tie-in and slope; and 4) test the roof drain for leaks and proper working order.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged toilet. After pulling the toilet, we used a sewer machine down through the toilet's flange and cleared the blockage. We reset the toilet and the issue was resolved. We also provided a cost estimate to 1) dig a ditch from the building to the town sewer tap to expose and remove the outside main sewer septic drain line; 2) install a new 4-inch PVC sewer drain line (connecting it to the main drain line under the building) along with proper cleanouts and fittings per code; 3) install tracer wire in the ditch along with the new sewer drain line; and 4) backfill, tamp, and spread grass seed and straw after the work has been inspected and approved by the county's Inspection Department.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged roof drain. We provided a cost estimate to cut into the roof drain (just above where it goes into the floor inside the building), add a test tee, and attempt to try and clear the stoppage.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak underneath the home. We found a leak on a water supply line fitting. We cut out the leaking fitting and a small section of pipe and repaired them with new PEX piping and fittings. We also provided a cost estimate to repipe and replace the water supply lines under the house in the crawlspace, going to the fixtures in the kitchen, one bathroom (sink, toilet, and bathtub/shower), the washing machine (installing a new plastic washer box and hot and cold hose bibs or boiler drains), and the water heater, with new PEX piping and fittings (installing new 1/4 turn water shut-off valves on each fixture inside the house along with new above-floor stainless steel braided water supply lines) and replace two outside hose bib spigots with new Woodford frost-free models.
