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 is awesome! Replaced two water heaters. One was an 80 gallon heater and it was in the attic, accessible only via folding staircase! Getting it in/out was a big deal. No complaints from Jason, sweat dripping fast. I might have been able to get it done for a little less money but I couldn’t have gotten it done faster or better. Thumbs-up, Jason.

Dalton was here today right on time as promised. He did a great job! We had no hot water on one side of our home; now we're have fantastic water temperature everywhere! He checked everything and even registered the warranties on our tankless water heaters. I would highly recommend him.

Super fabulous team. They worked with us to help us choose a new unit for replacement. When they came out they also worked on our other unit to finally get it working properly. We couldn’t be more pleased and will not go to anyone else for service any longer. Thanks so much ESP getting our “split system” up and running right!!!

We've been using RS Andrews for our HVAC servicing for years now. We have a plan where they come out a couple times a year to service, clean, and maintain all of the equipment. They are professional and prompt, and we've had a really good experience with them every time.
