Plumbing in Greater New Haven
Skilled plumbing, explained in plain English.
In an emergency
Stop the water first. Four steps.
1. Find the main shut-off
Usually in the basement or utility room, on the wall closest to the street, just after the water meter. In a slab house, look in a closet near the water heater or in the garage.
Services by room
Where is the problem?
Pick the room. Every line links to a request with the job already filled in.
How we explain things
Why your water heater is making that noise.
Popping or rumbling from a tank water heater is usually sediment: minerals from the water that settle on the bottom and trap pockets of water that boil against the burner.
- What it means
- The heater works harder and the tank bottom wears faster.
- What we do
- Flush the tank, check the anode rod, and test the relief valve.
- When to replace
- Rust in the hot water, a leak at the base, or a tank past its warranty years.
Work you can look at after we leave.
