When choosing a new water heater for your home installation, consider factors such as the size of your household, the fuel type available (electric, gas, or solar), energy efficiency ratings, warranty coverage, and installation costs.

To prevent clogs in your kitchen sink and maintain proper drainage in your kitchen plumbing system, avoid pouring grease or oil down the drain, use a drain strainer to catch food particles, run hot water down the drain regularly, and periodically flush the drain with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.

Common signs that indicate your shower needs repair include low water pressure, leaks, slow drainage, and inconsistent water temperature. To address these issues effectively, you should check for any clogs in the showerhead or pipes, repair any leaks promptly, and adjust the water heater settings if needed. If the problem persists, it is best to consult a licensed plumber for a thorough inspection and repair.

Some common reasons for a residential water heater producing lukewarm water instead of hot water may include a faulty heating element, a malfunctioning thermostat, sediment buildup in the tank, or a broken dip tube.

Signs that indicate a leak in your plumbing system needs immediate attention from a professional plumber include: sudden increase in water bills, damp or wet spots on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew growth, musty odors, low water pressure, and sounds of running water when no fixtures are in use.
