Emergency Plumbing Repairs in Slatington, PA
Many homeowners worry about whether a plumbing problem is an emergency. If you think it’s a plumbing emergency, it is. If you have youngsters, elderly, or chronically ill family members, you need your water delivery and drainage restored as soon as possible.
Some of the signs you have a plumbing problem include:
- Ceiling sagging/water stains appear
- Clogged sinks/drains
- Flooding on floors/running down walls
- Gas smell
- Low water pressure
- No hot water
- Pipes rattling/making noises
- Sewage smell
- Small leak that suddenly became larger
- Toilet overflowing
When you call, we may talk you through a water shut-off to minimize property damage or loss. Then, our first responders will arrive quickly to assess the problem’s origin. Team Andreas will find a resolution as fast as possible.
Well Pump Installation & Repair Services
Many properties in and around Carbon, Lehigh, and Northampton counties are served by wells. Well water is a healthy alternative to municipal water and saves money. But to keep your well water safe and flowing efficiently, you need regular well maintenance that includes finding potential problems before they become health hazards.
Contact Andreas Plumbing if you have:
- Bad-smelling or odd-tasting water
- Dark/cloudy water or visible particles
- Higher electric bills (pump problems)
- Low or too-high water pressure
- Pump short-cycling
- Sputtering water
Sometimes your plumbing issue is pump-related. If you need a replacement pump, there are many considerations. We need to analyze:
- Landscape sprinkler system
- Number of bathrooms
- People in-residence
- Pool/spa system, if present
- Types/sizes of water-using appliances
Water Heater Services
Few property owners appreciate the value of annual water heater maintenance, but it can save money and time because your Andreas plumber will spot problems before they become emergencies.
A standard water heater can last about 13 years, while a tankless water heater can last up to 20 years. This makes a tankless unit a better investment. Tankless systems also save energy, which lowers your monthly bills.
Many people call tankless systems “on-demand” water heaters because there’s no wait time for water heating, and you won’t run out of hot water. Perhaps the biggest advantage is you can install a tankless water heater almost anywhere in your home. They’re small (about the size of a carry-on suitcase) and can be wall-mounted, too.
Call Andreas Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning before buying a water heater. We need to discuss your house size, lifestyle, and daily water demand. If you’ve already purchased a water heater, let us complete the installation for you.
Installing your own water heater is dangerous, and if property damage occurs later due to a DIY installation, your insurance company can deny coverage.
Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal
Hard water mineral deposits are among the biggest problems in Lehigh and surrounding counties. In addition to calcium, iron, and magnesium, we have aluminum, barium, strontium, and zinc that can dissolve and cause hard water issues in your plumbing system.
Andreas’ annual drain cleaning services just make sense. Maintenance is always cheaper (and more convenient) than an emergency clogged drain.
Sewer, Pipe, and Sump Pump Services
Not all plumbers have the technology to diagnose and repair septic systems and install trenchless sewer lines. And many plumbers don’t have the training and experience to repair or replace outdoor plumbing pipes.
If you live in a charming older home, you likely have some beautiful, stately trees. Those trees have hardy, intrusive roots that can completely block your underground plumbing pipes. Andreas can keep water flowing freely to and from your Slatington home.
Most Pennsylvania homes have basements or crawl spaces. We need sump pumps to keep those basements dry, especially during the spring thaw. If you have questions about sump pump operation, maintenance, repair, or replacement, ask Andreas. When you know more, you make better decisions.
