Some water should be expected around the outdoor portion of your heat pump in winter due to any collected snow or ice melting off of the unit, but extensive water during dry weather or water around the indoor portion of the unit can indicate a problem. The following are the three most likely reasons why your heat pump is leaking. By catching the problem early, you can have it repaired before more severe damage occurs.
Most people install a tankless water heater because they want the convenience of on-demand hot water while also having a more efficient water heating solution in their home. It can be particularly frustrating when the heater malfunctions and does not perform as intended. If you are having issues with your tankless water heater's temperature, the following guide can help you pinpoint the cause of the problem.
Water Won't Heat Up
Growing your own fruits and vegetables can be rewarding, but a home garden can also be hard on your residential plumbing system. The following are a few things you can do to help protect your pipes from your gardening hobby.
1. Leave the Dirt Outside
Putting dirt down your indoor drains is a certain recipe for clogs and stress on your pipes. An overflowing sink or a broken pipe will cost you much more in time and money than growing your own vegetables can save you.
Noticing that water is seeping out of the bottom, or base of your toilet can be annoying, but it can do more damage than you might suspect. If you're tempted to just ignore this problem for a while or to at least put it off until after normal business hours, you might want to reconsider that position. Here's why.
It's Unsanitary
First things first: the water that's leaking out of the base of your toilet is not clean water.
Does your plumbing system need a drain cleaning service? Even though backups, standing water, and slow to drain sinks, are obvious signs of a problem, take a look at the lesser known (but equally important) red flags to watch for.
Drain Flies
Do small winged inspects fly in and out of your sink or tub's drain? While these pests may look like the fruit flies that invade the kitchen garbage can, it's likely they're actually drain flies.
