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 was called out for a clogged kitchen sink drain. We removed the sink’s P-trap and drain assembly; used a sewer machine down through the sink's drain line and cleared the blockage; once cleared, replaced the P-trap and drain assembly; and tested for leaks and proper drainage. We also provided a cost estimate to replace a kitchen sink's under-sink drain assembly, P-trap, and drain line through the floor to under the house in the crawlspace, and to where it ties into the main sewer drain stack, with new PVC piping and fittings.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a kitchen sink's under-sink drain line through the floor to under the house in the garage, and to where it ties into the main sewer drain stack, with new PVC piping and fittings, adding two new bends, a wye, and a Santee, and connected onto the existing cast iron piping with two new Fernco couplings. We ensured that the new piping was securely supported by metal floor joist strapping. Also, underneath the sink, we added an air admittance valve to the new drain line.
Pride Plumbing came out and removed and replaced the cartridges inside seven Powers thermostatic tempering shower valves located in the upstairs women’s locker room. After the new cartridges were installed, we tested for leaks and proper operation of each valve as well as proper water temperature.
Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a leaking Moen two-handle centerset kitchen sink faucet with a sprayer with a new customer-supplied two-handle centerset model with a sprayer. This included removing the old faucet, mounting the new faucet, connecting the sprayer, and replacing the hot and cold above-floor water supply lines underneath the sink with new braided stainless-steel ones and connecting them to the water supply stops and faucet.
Pride Plumbing came out and installed a Sterling whole-house water sediment filter. This included mounting the sediment filter base; running and connecting new PEX piping inlet and outlet water supply lines to the base and the existing copper water lines underneath the home; adding ball water shutoff valves; installing the sediment filter and its housing; and testing for leaks and proper operation. Once the filtration system was installed, we bled air out of the water lines at an outside hose bib spigot and tested and cleaned debris from the fixtures inside the home.
