How can I tell if I have a hidden leak?

Unexpected water bills, musty smells, or damp spots on walls or floors are common clues. You might not see water pooling, but it could be collecting in hard-to-reach places like behind drywall or under slab foundations. We offer leak detection services that locate the source without tearing up your home.

Are chemical drain cleaners safe for my pipes?

Store-bought cleaners may offer a short-term fix, but they often damage pipes over time—especially older systems. The chemicals can corrode materials and push clogs deeper, making them harder to remove later. We recommend professional drain cleaning for a safe and lasting solution.

What’s the difference between hard and soft water?

Hard water has a high mineral content—usually calcium and magnesium—which can cause buildup in pipes, dull laundry, and spotty dishes. Soft water is treated to remove those minerals, making it gentler on plumbing and appliances. We can test your water and install a softener if needed.

How often should I flush my water heater?

Most water heaters should be flushed once a year to clear out sediment that collects at the bottom of the tank. If left alone, buildup can reduce efficiency, shorten the unit’s life, or cause noisy rumbling sounds. We offer maintenance plans to keep your system running clean and safe.

What Do Plumbing Services Include?

Plumbing services involve anything responsible for moving water into, out of or around your home, so there are a wide range of activities you may need a plumber to perform. Examples of things in your home that plumbing services would cover:

Interior Plumbing – The system that moves water throughout your home and provides it to showers, bathtubs, toilets and sinks, then removes wastewater.
Exterior Plumbing – This system involves the main water line and sewer pipes that help to prevent flooding in a given area.

A professional plumber would be able to perform plumbing services on all of these systems. Services would include installation, repair and maintenance of these systems.

What are the Most Common Plumbing Problems?

As with any complex system, there is the potential for trouble to develop. Here are some of the most common plumbing problems you may experience in your home:

Dripping Faucets – A faucet that has a drip is actually two issues in one. First, there’s the wasted water and, second, there’s the annoying sound that might keep you awake at night.
Clogged Drain/Toilet – If too much of the wrong type of material goes down the drain, a buildup can cause a blockage that can cause the water to backup. In the case of a toilet, a major backup could unleash a major health hazard into your home.
Leaky Pipes – Once again this is an issue that could result in lots of wasted water and increased water bills. Worse, water leaking inside your home can lead to mold, mildew and rot that can cause extensive damage.
Low Water Pressure – If you aren’t getting the strong, relaxing shower stream you’re used to there’s likely an issue upstream that needs to be addressed.
No Hot Water – This means your water heater is malfunctioning in some way and will likely need to be repaired or replaced.

Schedule today! We’re ready to deliver expert service and a smile to your door.

Jason had us all fixed up in no time. Our plumbing was clogged and it didn’t take them anytime at all to arrive and have us up and running. Everyone I dealt with was so kind and courteous. I can’t thank them enough for such a timely fix. From the time I called to the time they left was only 3 hours. In our area that’s unheard of

When time came to replace our old HVAC, we went back to R.S. Andrews. This time, they recommended a Lennox. It's an amazing 2-stage system, much quieter than our old Amana (which was great for its day). However, being on the bleeding edge of technology (particularly the new refrigerants) has pros and cons. The folks at R.S. Andrews put in heroes' efforts to keep us up and running, including coming back out at 9 pm the same day to deal with a recalcitrant board. And the in the fall, they came back out to adjust an installer setting that was causing an issue with the heater. I do recommend them most highly.

We use R.S Andrews to handle our HVAC Service needs in our 2nd home and rental properties. The service technician Nate is always professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He certainly cares about making sure the customer is happy with his service. I would highly recommend this company for your HVAC and plumbing needs. I can’t say enough about this company and their staff. Top Shelf!!

Nate did a great job! Be it a little late, and had a brief hiccup with a new installment payment— but overall, he is updating our record from 1 unit to the correct 2 units they installed this summer. It really is something we’ve asked to be corrected in the past, so we are appreciative that Nate is making this correction for us.

Justin was curious, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how the system works and what needs to be done to service it.

So we have used RS Andrews (and specifically Connor) twice now and have been pleased. They were the only service I could find with emergency hours that an actual technician responds, not just an answering service telling you they can't do anything for your emergency. Also used for hot water tank replacement. Would recommend.
