Absolute precision Plumbing FAQs
How can I tell if my sewer line is blocked?
Signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds, foul odors, or multiple fixtures backing up at the same time — all of which can indicate a blockage or sewer line damage.
How do I safely thaw frozen pipes?
Keep the faucet open and gently warm the pipe starting from the faucet end using warm towels, a hair dryer, or a heating pad. Always call a professional plumber to prevent damage.
What should I do in a burst pipe emergency?
Shut off your main water supply, turn off electricity to affected areas, and call Absolute Precision immediately for emergency repairs.
How can I prevent buried sewer line damage?
Avoid planting large trees near sewer lines, schedule regular inspections, and prevent heavy equipment from driving over the line.
Why isn’t my heating system producing enough heat?
Common causes include thermostat issues, clogged filters, pilot light problems, or blower malfunctions. A professional inspection can pinpoint the problem.
Is low water pressure a common issue in older homes?
Yes — it can result from corroded pipes, leaks, or air trapped in the plumbing or heating systems.
How do I stop my toilet from constantly running?
Check the flapper or flush valve seal — if worn or damaged, have it replaced by a plumber.
Why does a dripping faucet increase my water bill so much?
Even a small leak can waste gallons of water daily, which adds up quickly on your bill.
Why is my heater making strange noises or a burning smell?
This could be caused by worn belts, blower motor issues, or dust buildup — have it serviced as soon as possible.
How long does a water heater usually last?
Most last between 8–12 years, depending on maintenance and water quality.
Schedule maintenance at least once a year — before summer for AC and before winter for heating.
A hidden leak is the most common cause. Check your water meter to see if it’s running when all taps are off.
Multiple drains clogging at once, foul odors, and toilets bubbling when you run water elsewhere in the house.
Not always — harsh chemicals can damage pipes. Professional hydrojetting or snaking is a safer solution.
No — flushing can cause cracks or bursts. Wait until pipes are thawed.
Shut off the gas immediately, evacuate, and call your gas provider and a licensed plumber.
This may indicate a sewer gas leak or a dry drain trap — seal drains and call a plumber for inspection.
Frequent leaks, rust-colored water, low water pressure, or old galvanized pipes are strong indicators.
