Plumbing FAQs
How can I prevent clogged drains?
Don’t pour grease, cooking oils, coffee grounds, or food waste down drains. Install mesh screens in bathroom sinks and showers to trap hair and soap buildup. Schedule professional drain cleaning periodically to prevent accumulation and maintain clear pipes.
How does Quincy’s climate affect plumbing?
Coastal winters deliver freezing temperatures that threaten uninsulated pipes. Salt air exposure accelerates corrosion on fixtures and water heaters. Insulating pipes and scheduling regular maintenance helps protect equipment from climate-related damage.
What should I look for in a Quincy plumber?
Verify licensing and insurance coverage first. Check online reviews and confirm experience with both emergency repairs and planned installations. Established local companies like GEM understand coastal Massachusetts homes and deliver reliable service.
How long do water heaters typically last?
Tank water heaters generally last 8-12 years. Tankless units can operate 20 years or longer with proper maintenance. Regular flushing, inspections, and prompt repairs help maximize equipment life and preserve energy efficiency.
What causes low water pressure?
Mineral deposits narrow pipe interiors over time. Leaks anywhere in the system reduce available pressure. Worn fixtures, main line restrictions, or failing pressure regulators also contribute. A licensed plumber can diagnose the specific cause and restore normal flow.
