If your drains are backed up or your pipes are spewing water, it is clear that there’s a problem, but the exact cause and location of the problem can be a mystery. Now with the technology of video inspections, it is possible to precisely confirm the nature and location of a plumbing issue so that it can be remedied much more quickly than with traditional methods. The Super Plumbers team is highly experienced with video inspections of pipes and sewers so we can quickly and efficiently diagnose problems to save you time, money, mess, and frustration.

How is a video inspection conducted?

A video inspection is completed with a small, high quality video camera that is snaked through pipes or sewers that are suspected to be causing the issue. The footage is relayed to our team of expert plumbers that are trained to observe even the slightest signs of what might be causing issues in your system. Possible issues that a video inspection may detect include pipes that have been infested with tree roots, pipes corroded with minerals and water impurities, frozen and burst pipes, or a blockage caused by grease or waste.

This is only one of many issues that can occur with your water heater that may require our water heater services. However, you can often avoid the need to call a professional plumber by completing routine maintenance checks and tune-ups.

Below, you will find some helpful tips for maintaining the water heater that can help you save big on expensive emergency repairs.

Like other household appliances, there is a variety of quick and easy steps that you can take to ensure that your water heater stays running efficiently for a long time. Some of these maintenance practices should be performed repeatedly while others only need to be completed once.

We recommend that you insulate your water heater to improve its efficiency. In fact, insulating an older water heater has been shown to reduce heat loss by up to 45%. The Environmental Protection Agency even recommends purchasing prefabricated insulation for superior energy savings.

Of course, we also urge all of our customers to flush their water heater at least once a year. If you are not sure how to flush your tank, please contact one of our professionals or you could end up with a mess just like in the picture above.

Have you heard of a faucet aerator? Even if you haven’t, you probably still have them in your faucets at home. To help you better maintain your sinks and the faucet aerators in your home, we walk through their functions and benefits here.

A faucet aerator is a small, mesh screen that covers the tip of a sink or tub faucet. As the water travels through the mesh, air bubbles are circulated into the stream of water.

What is the purpose of an aerator circulating air through faucet water? Aerators help conserve water. By lightly breaking up the constant stream of water from the faucet, less water exits the faucet at a time, helping reduce the amount of water being used. While this may seem to be a problem that would hamper the function of your faucet, it is quite the opposite. The shape of the aerator intensifies the water pressure to compensate for the reduced flow of water – this makes the lessened amount of water imperceptible.

Maintaining Your Faucet
