Why Does My Toilet Always Clog?
Clogged toilets are a common household plumbing problem. But what if they’re recurring? A toilet that constantly clogs could be caused by flushing non-flushable items, like wipes or hygiene products. Another cause is low-flow toilets that don’t have the flushing power to remove waste. Blockages in the drain pipes or sewer lines, often due to tree roots or mineral buildup, can lead to recurring clogs.
If you have a stubborn clog that won’t go away no matter what you do, call Pride Plumbing. A thorough cleaning may do the trick, or in severe cases, you may need to replace the toilet.

Is My Water Heater Failing?
Nothing can ruin your day faster than running out of hot water during your morning shower. This could be a sign that your water heater needs some TLC or you need a complete replacement. Symptoms of a failing water heater include:
Inconsistent or No Hot Water: If the water doesn’t heat properly or turns cold quickly, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning water heater.
Strange Noises: Rumbling, banging, or popping sounds from the water heater often indicate sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank.
Rust or Discolored Water: If the water appears rusty or has a metallic taste, it might be a sign of corrosion inside the tank.
Water Leaks: Leaks around the water heater indicate that the unit is failing and could cause significant damage if not addressed.
Age: Water heaters over 10-15 years old are more prone to failure and often need to be replaced.

Pride Plumbing conducted an annual backflow inspection as scheduled. The Zurn Wilkins 975XL RPZ assembly was thoroughly tested and passed inspection. This critical component ensures the prevention of potentially hazardous contaminants from entering the potable water supply. Our team meticulously examined all connections and components, ensuring everything met regulatory standards. The test results will be filed with the appropriate agencies to maintain compliance and safety.

Upon arrival, Pride Plumbing identified a leaking two-handle bathtub/shower faucet valve. To address this, we first cut an access panel in the shower wall to expose the valve. The old shower valve was removed, and we replaced it with a new Gerber two-handle model. Additionally, we replaced the short sections of the hot- and cold-water supply lines with new PEX piping and fittings to ensure a secure and leak-free connection. The shower head and downspout diverter were also replaced with new components. Finally, we installed new handles, along with their respective stems, washers, seats, and escutcheons to complete the repair. The job was finished with all components functioning properly and no leaks present.

Pride Plumbing was informed that the hot water in the kitchen sink and the Fidelity financial suite was cloudy, while the hot water in the bathrooms was clear. We began by inspecting the affected areas and confirming the issue. Given the layout, we suspected that the kitchenette was serviced by a small, individual hot water heater, likely a 2- to 10-gallon unit, located in the ceiling. However, we were unable to locate the heater. We informed the customer that additional time would be required to find the heater and provided them with a cost estimate. The customer opted to wait for the repair at that time.

Pride Plumbing replaced all horizontal drain lines in the basement ceiling, ensuring a thorough update. A cleanout was strategically installed where the mainline enters the foundation for easy access. Additionally, P-traps were installed under all sinks above the floor, avoiding in-wall placement to prevent venting complications. Toilet flanges were replaced, and the bases of the toilets were properly grouted for a clean finish. Although the existing pipes in the walls were not replaced to avoid potential venting issues, we inspected and will address any problematic lines by drilling through and replacing them, adding air admittance valves as necessary and caulking around the holes to ensure a secure seal.

Pride Plumbing arrived on-site for a water leak detection service, thoroughly inspecting all fixtures and the area around the water heater. Upon examination, we discovered a continuous leak from the showerhead, which was dripping onto a caddy holding shampoo and soap. This caused water to flow back towards the wall and down into the hole where the stem came through. We removed the caddy and cleaned up any standing water. After waiting a significant amount of time, we rechecked the area to ensure that this was the sole cause of the leak. Once we confirmed that the water had stopped coming through, we verified that the leak had indeed been resolved. Additionally, we provided a detailed cost estimate for replacing the single-handle bathtub/shower valve, including cutting an access in the shower wall and replacing the valve with new PEX piping and fittings.
