Water heaters are generally located far away from fixtures like showers and faucets. A lot of water and energy is wasted before the hot water arrives at the spout. Hot water circulation systems prevent this loss by using small motors to bring hot water to the source. They can drastically cut down heating costs and have other benefits too, like reducing wear on your plumbing system.

For partial drain clogs (where water is still flowing), you can try DIY solutions like store-bought drain cleaners. These can help to remove some of the debris, but these products will never get all of the buildup out of your pipes. For complete clogs, you can use a plunger to try to force the clog out of the pipes. Do not use drain cleaning chemicals for complete clogs as the chemicals will have nowhere to go. They can create noxious fumes or corrode pipes. When these solutions don’t work, it is time to call Reno Plumbing Doctor for your professional plumbing services.

When we talk about clogs, it is usually in reference to small obstructions in your pipes which prevent water from going down the drain. These can cause water to backup, but the backup will be confined to one fixture; i.e. you turn on the faucet and the water stays in the basin. Most clogs can generally be cleaned with a drain snake. With sewer backups, the problems are usually a bit more complex. The problem might be farther down your drain line or in your sewer main. Since your waste water can’t escape, it starts backing up into your fixtures. You can end up with some bizarre things happening when you use your water – like hearing air bubbles in your toilet when you turn on the faucet or having sewage come into your tub when you flush the toilet.

There are many reasons why you might have low water pressure, including a malfunctioning shut off valve, a compressed water line or deposits that may have gathered in your pipes.

All of the technicians at Reno Plumbing Doctor are highly experienced in helping to find a solution.
