Plumbers in Bastrop, TX

Why is my water bill so much higher than normal?

Unfortunately, even the smallest of plumbing problems can add up in the form of a higher water bill. For example, a running toilet can increase your water bill by $100 over the course of a year. Also, your leaking faucet can slowly waste 300 gallons of water in that same time period.

If you are looking for culprits for water waste, check your home and make sure that none of your toilets are running and that there isn’t a slow drip coming from any of your faucets. If everything’s looking good, head outside. You could have a leaking garden spigot or faucet on your property.

Another common problem that can cause a spike in your water bill is an inefficient irrigation system. Inspect your sprinkler heads to see if any of them are broken or damaged. Other signs that your sprinklers aren’t working as they should are dry or overwatered spots in your lawn. If you’re experiencing irrigation system issues, you can rely on the sprinkler repair team at ABC to get your watering system running properly again.

Can you install plumbing equipment?

While many of our service calls involve repairs to equipment, our plumbers are fully trained for plumbing installations as well. Many homeowners will give us a call a couple of weeks after buying new plumbing components. When they first purchased a new part, fixture or component, these homeowners were feeling ambitious and thought it would be an easy installation. After weeks of the equipment just sitting there, ABC got a call, since the homeowner realized that experienced plumbers can handle the installation quickly and correctly.

How can I handle a slow or clogged drain on my own?

The first step to handling a clog is to pull out anything obvious that could be preventing water from going down your drain, such as kids’ toys or a ball. If your clog is in a sink with a garbage disposal, use tongs instead of your hands to pull anything out. Once you have removed any obvious clogs, pour an enzyme-based opener down the length of your pipe. If that doesn’t work, an auger may be the best tool to unclog your drain if the blockage is so far down that you can’t see it.

If dealing with a drain issue has become a bigger headache than you had originally planned for, ABC can help. Our experienced plumbers can clear your blockage and have your sinks and showers working again in a timely manner.
