4. What are the signs of a clogged drain in my Valparaiso home?
Water slowly draining is the surest sign of a clogged drain, but you should also be on the lookout for these other indicators:
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds coming from the drain.
- Unpleasant odors emanate from the sink or drain.
- Water is backing up in your sink, bathtub, or shower.
- Multiple fixtures are clogged at once, which can be a sign of a blockage in the main sewer line.
5. What steps can I take to keep clear drains in my Valparaiso home?
- Throw only toilet paper into your toilet. Do not flush other products, even those described as flushable.
- Dispose of oil or grease in the trash, not down your sink drain. After the leftover cooking oil cools slightly, pour it into a disposable container to harden before tossing it into the garbage.
- Use a drain screen to catch hair before it goes down the shower drain. Attach a metal mesh lint catcher to your washing machine’s discharge hose. Consider placing a drain screen or lint trap in the laundry sink drain hole.
- Pour enzyme-based drain cleaners into your plumbing system periodically to keep clogs from forming. These drain cleaners work best as a preventative measure and remove only organic materials. They are easier on your pipes than chemical drain cleaners.
- Schedule periodic drain cleanings to keep water flowing in your sinks, toilet, and shower. Consider inspecting your sewer line every few years, especially if large trees grow on your property.
6. How long does it take to replace a water heater in Valparaiso, IN?
The time it takes to replace a water heater can vary depending on the complexity of the job. Our professionals provide a detailed estimate before beginning any work, so you’ll know the cost and estimated time frame upfront.
A simple replacement, where the new unit is the same type as the old one and fits in the same location without requiring any modifications to the existing plumbing or venting, can be done relatively quickly. A tankless unit takes longer to install.
Our licensed Valparaiso plumbers at Young Plumbing will gladly provide a more accurate estimate of the cost and time it takes to install your next water heater.
7. Does Young Plumbing offer memberships or maintenance plans?
No. At Young Plumbing, we believe in straightforward, honest service without locking customers into maintenance contracts.
Many companies use these plans to sell services you may not actually need. Instead, we focus on being the “people’s champion” by providing reliable plumbing solutions only when you truly need them. That way, you can trust that our recommendations are based on what’s best for your home—not on a plan we’re trying to sell.
