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.

Working with Paul of RS Andrews was really good. I had a gas leak in an outside pipe and Paul walked me through the process to fix the problem. I have a clear understanding of what what needs to be done, how it will be done and the cost.

I recently met with Nate from R.S. Andrews at a home in the prestigious Berkeley Hall community to diagnose an HVAC leak, and I was beyond impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and overall expertise. It was immediately clear that Nate is a longtime experienced professional who truly understands these HVAC systems at a very high level. What stood out most was how thoroughly he explained everything. He took the time to walk through the issue in detail, provided clear recommendations, and made sure the homeowner fully understood the situation and options moving forward. His communication skills, attention to detail, and honesty were exceptional. In today’s world, it’s rare to come across someone who takes this much pride in their work and represents their company with such professionalism. Nate is absolutely the type of employee every company hopes to have knowledgeable, respectful, trustworthy, and client-focused. R.S. Andrews is fortunate to have him on their team, and employees like Nate deserve to be recognized for the value they bring every single day. Highly recommend Nate and the entire R.S. Andrews team.
