Why You Need a Functioning Sump Pump
When heavy rains fall in Albemarle, it’s important to prevent floodwaters from entering your property. One way to do this is with a fully functioning sump pump. These systems can help prevent a plumbing emergency from occurring at your house by preventing water from flooding your property and avoiding severe damage to the flooring, walls, insulation, electrical work, and more. This wreckage can also lead to the formation of mold and mildew.
Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Services
When your drains start to slow, it’s important to seek professional drain cleaning services to let the experts remove the blockages and have your pipes properly repaired. Some symptoms to watch for that can indicate you need drain cleaning services are:
- Slow drains: These can indicate a variety of problems, including a clog, narrowed pipes, or other buildups.
- Frequent clogs: If you have recurring clogs - even after you regularly clean out hair and other blockages from the pipes -- it can mean you are not successfully removing the blockage. In this case, it’s important to hire a plumber to completely remove the clog.
- Multiple clogs: If you have several clogs at the same time, it could indicate a severe blockage deep within your main line.
- Foul odor: if there are foul odors coming from your drains, it can signal a minor issue - like trapped food -- or a major issue, like a problem with a sewer line.
- Flooding: One of the worst problems associated with clogged drains is a sewage backup. If there is flooding in your basement or near a floor drain, this could indicate a clog and it may just be a matter of time before the drain stops working completely and you end up with contaminated water all over your floor.

What To Expect During Routine Water Heater Services
Experts recommend that you have your water heater serviced at least once a year to keep it working properly. During these routine services you can expect a plumber to perform the following tasks:
- Drain the basin and remove any buildup of sediment, which can create a myriad of issues if not done regularly.
- Inspect both the inside and outside of the unit for hairline cracks or signs of aging.
- Check for any cracks in the hoses.
- Inspect and change your filters when needed.
- Make sure the unit is operating at its maximum efficiency.

Job Locations and Reviews
Pride Plumbing came out to replace a faulty pressure switch on an A.O. Smith gas water heater. We removed the old switch and installed the new one. Next, we removed the nipple on the blower and cleaned it. Once that was cleaned, we turned the water heater back on, tested it, and everything worked properly.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking 40-gallon electric A.O. Smith hot water heater with a new 40-gallon electric Rheem PROE40-M2-RH95 model. This included removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing water heater pads, the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater connectors, a brass drain valve, bleeding the air out of the water lines, ensuring that the unit’s temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve was properly vented, wiring the water heater's electrical connections, and setting the unit to its appropriate operating temperature. We also upgraded the unit's elements to 3,500-watt elements due to it being on a double pole 20-amp breaker.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a clogged walk-in shower drain. After removing the grid cover, we used a ShopVac down through the shower's drain and cleared the blockage.
Pride Plumbing was called out for a flooded basement. After inspecting the issue, we provided a cost estimate to perform the following work: 1) jackhammer and dig out a 9'x9' hole in the basement's concrete floor, install a new E/One sewage pump system along with gravel as a base layer and connect it to the home's existing basement drain; 2) leave the pit open for an electrical contractor to install the wiring for the new pump; 3) install 1-yard of concrete around the pump's basin after its tank has been inspected and approved; 4) jackhammer and dig out a discharge line from the new E/One pump system to the home's outside main sewer septic drain line, install PVC piping and fittings and a backflow prevention check valve and union in the line, and hook up to it; 5) test the new pump and drain lines for working order; 6) backfill all ditches and replace the concrete in the floor after the work has been inspected and approved.
Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to install four customer-supplied air separators on the building's air supply lines, and after the separators are installed, test for air leaks on each unit.
