Plumbers in Lakeway, TX

Unfortunately, what may seem at first like a relatively minor issue can sometimes turn into a large (and expensive) headache. Most of these situations involve a leak that was not on a homeowner’s radar. In other cases, it could be that something you’ve been ignoring is the culprit. Over the course of a year, a running toilet can increase your water bill by $100, for example, and a leaking faucet can waste as many as 300 gallons of water.

If you want to try to diagnose the cause on your own, we recommend inspecting all of your faucets, both inside and outside, for any slow drips. You can also check your toilet tank to see whether or not water is getting into your overflow pipe. While you’re there, see if your toilet flapper is damaged.

Another common reason for abnormally high water bills is an issue with your irrigation system. Next time you run the sprinklers, check to see if there are any areas where water is pooling. Also, inspect your sprinkler heads to see if any of them are broken or damaged. If your sprinklers are the cause of your high water bill, you can rely on the irrigation experts at ABC to make any needed repairs.

While most of our calls are for plumbing repairs, ABC’s licensed plumbers are fully equipped to install any new plumbing equipment or components. Whether it’s a new fixture, toilet, faucet, water heater, garbage disposal or water softener, you can rely on the plumbers at ABC to install it for you. You can also trust us to advise you on whether it would be more cost-effective in the long run for you to replace older equipment rather than make continued or extensive repairs.

The first thing you can try is pulling out anything that is clearly blocking the drain. You may not have realized, for example, that your child accidentally bounced a small ball that got stuck in the drain. If you’re doing this in a sink with a garbage disposal, use tongs to avoid injury. Once you have removed any obvious blockages, pour an enzyme-based opener down the length of the pipe. If the blockage is past where you’re able to see it, you may have to use an auger to unclog your drain.

If you have come to the conclusion that your clogged drain is going to require more effort than you’re willing to put in, or you don’t have the proper tools to handle the problem, ABC can help. Our technicians will be able to unclog your drain quickly so you can get back to your normal routine.
