Got questions? Whether you’re curious about our services, need tips for maintaining your plumbing, or want to know what sets J. Blanton Plumbing apart, you’ll find the answers right here.

What are some common causes of flood control system failures, and how can I prevent them to maintain the effectiveness of my system?

Common causes of flood control system failures include clogged or blocked drainage pipes, malfunctioning sump pumps, power outages, and improper installation. To prevent these issues and maintain the effectiveness of your system, regularly inspect and clean drainage pipes, test sump pumps periodically, consider installing a backup power source, and ensure proper installation by hiring a licensed plumber.

What steps can I take to minimize damage while waiting for a burst pipe repair service to arrive?

Turn off the main water supply to your home to stop the flow of water. Open faucets to drain any remaining water in the pipes. Collect any leaking water in buckets or containers to prevent further damage. Keep the affected area well-ventilated to help dry out any moisture.

What are the signs that indicate a potential gas leak in my home?

The signs that indicate a potential gas leak in your home include a rotten egg or sulfur-like odor, hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines or appliances, dead or dying vegetation near gas lines, and physical symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or headaches. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate the area immediately and contact a licensed plumber or gas company for assistance.
