Plumber in Cibolo, TX

We understand that no one wants to see a higher than usual water bill, especially if you can’t pinpoint the cause of it. We frequently hear that homeowners are surprised to learn that what may seem like minor plumbing problems can actually lead to a significant increase in their monthly water usage. For example, a leaking faucet can waste up to a gallon of water a day. A running toilet can even lead to a $100 increase in your water bill over the course of a year.

We recommend that homeowners start by inspecting the faucets and spigots that are outside of your home. Because we don’t tend to use fixtures as often, we may not realize they are leaking until you get a high water bill.

If you believe a running toilet is the issue, try taking a look inside the toilet bowl. Look for the flapper. Your flapper may have worn out and may need to be replaced. Like most plumbing parts and components, your flapper can eventually wear out over time.

Another common problem is irrigation systems. Take a walk around your yard and inspect for any damaged or broken sprinkler heads. After a full sprinkler cycle, keep an eye out for any waterlogged areas. If you see pooling water, this usually means that you need to modify the watering time for a station.

If you have inspected your plumbing and can’t find a noticeable issue, contact ABC. Our specialists can quickly find the problem and then get to work on fixing it.

At one point or another, everyone has to deal with a slow or clogged drain. If you’d like to try clearing the blockage yourself before calling in a licensed plumber, there are some things you can try:

• Take out the drain’s plug from your tub or sink and use a flashlight to perform a visual inspection. If you find anything, such as a buildup of hair, a toy or some other debris, you can remove the blockage.
• Slowly pour a small amount of enzyme-based drain opener down your pipes, which can help clear up any blockages that may be further down your drain. Follow the directions on the label of the drain cleaner. Or, run a slow stream of hot water down the drain to see if the obstruction has been cleared.
• If the drain is still slow or clogged, you can try using an auger to break up anything that’s causing your problem. When using one of these specialized tools, be extremely careful, especially if you don’t have much experience with one of these devices. If you don’t take proper precautions, you could end up causing more damage instead of resolving the problem.

By the time a homeowner is looking for an auger, it’s easier to just reach out to a licensed plumber. When you contact a licensed pro, you will have peace of mind knowing that the problem will be fixed correctly and you’ll save your precious free time.

It is rare, but in some cases, our plumbers in Cibolo come across a plumbing issue that turns out to be a more involved project than what was originally anticipated. If this happens, we will present you with an updated timeline and estimate for all repairs.
