Why a Burst Pipe Is a Plumbing Emergency
A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate repairs. If a pipe breaks, at first only a small amount of water may be released, however, soon hundreds of gallons of water could be gushing into your property. This can cause extensive water damage to your flooring, walls, insulation, and even electrical system. Mold and mildew can grow if there is an excess of moisture. To try to limit the damage, call the experts at Pride Plumbing for services in New London.
How To Avoid Clogged Drains
A clogged drain at your house or building can create a major nuisance for your household or building occupants. To avoid these, follow these tips to prevent blockages:
- Scrape extra food into the trash and not down the sink when washing dishes.
- Never put grease down the drain. Instead, let it cool and then throw it in the trash instead of down the drain.
- Don’t let your hair cause blockages. Install a screen over the drain in your shower and tub to collect it.
- Avoid flushing anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
- Schedule regular professional drain cleanings to remove any smaller blockages before they become larger.

Common Water Heater Problems
You rely on your water heater to provide hot water for showers, baths, laundry, and more at your house. When it malfunctions it can create an inconvenience. Some common problems you might encounter with your unit can include:
- Your unit isn’t producing hot water: The most noticeable issue with your system can be if it stops producing hot water. If you have a gas-powered unit this can be due to an extinguished pilot light. It could also be caused by a severely damaged heating element.
- Your system is leaking: Have any leaks inspected by a plumber to determine if they can be repaired or if the unit should be replaced.
- You hear odd noises: Strange noises coming from your unit can be due to a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment inside the system.
- You see cracks: Any cracks in the unit should be examined by a professional.

Pride Plumbing was called out for a water leak at a Whirlpool water heater. Our inspection found the leak on a braided stainless steel inlet hose. We removed the hose and replaced it with PEX piping and fittings.

Pride Plumbing came out and provided a cost estimate to replace a 20-gallon low-boy electric water heater with a new 40-gallon low-boy electric Rheem model (this would include removing and disposing of the old water heater; installing the new water heater, new ball water shut-off valves, new PEX and stainless steel water supply lines to the water heater's water connections, a new brass drain valve, connecting the unit’s electrical connections, ensuring that the unit was properly vented, and setting it to its appropriate operating temperature).

Pride Plumbing came out and replaced a yard hydrant (this required us to dig down and uncover its water supply line, bust the concrete around the yard hydrant, remove the water supply line and the yard hydrant, install the new yard hydrant and PEX piping going to it; connect the PEX piping to the existing outside main water supply line, pour pea gravel around the new yard hydrant, cover the pea gravel with new cement, and cover and tamp the new water line. We also replaced a leaking outside hose bib spigot with a new customer supplied model along with tying it into the existing main water supply line underneath the house with new PEX piping and fittings.

This would include 1) removing and disposing of the old water heater along with its venting and gas and water supply lines; and 2) installing the new tankless unit along with its service valves, PEX and stainless steel water lines to the unit's water connections, copper gas supply line, gas regulator, exhaust and intake lines, lighting and programming the water heater, and ensuring that the unit was properly vented.
