Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup, checking and replacing anode rods as needed, and ensuring proper water pressure and temperature levels, can help extend the lifespan of a commercial water heater and minimize the risk of breakdowns.

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.

The most common causes of stubborn clogs in drains are built-up debris, grease, hair, soap scum, and mineral deposits. To effectively remove them during the drain cleaning process, plumbers typically use methods such as snaking the drain with an auger, using a drain snake or drain cleaning tool, hydro jetting to blast away the clog with high-pressure water, or using chemical drain cleaners as a last resort.
