Common Emergency Repairs to Be Prepared for
Unfortunately, most homeowners will experience a plumbing emergency or two over the years. While you can’t avoid them, you can be better prepared for them by knowing what to expect and how to handle different situations. Some of the more common plumbing emergencies include:
- Clogged drains
- Overflowing toilets
- Burst pipes
- Frozen pipes
- Water leaks
- Cracked water heater
- Damaged gas lines
The main concern you’ll have with a plumbing emergency is property damage. We provide 24-hour emergency plumbing services for exactly this reason. We arrive quickly, offer an accurate diagnosis, and provide you with a long-lasting repair solution that’ll avoid expensive damage to your home.
The Drain Cleaning Process
You know that your drains need to be cleaned when they’re clogged or when there is a foul odor coming from them. Plus, even if you don’t have an immediate drain issue, having them cleaned can help prevent clogs and damage to your pipes. Generally, the first step of drain cleaning is a video inspection. This allows your plumber to locate clogs, build up, or problem areas.
After the inspection, problem areas are cleared by drain snaking or hydro jetting (for commercial jobs). Drain snaking involves inserting the snake into the pipe until it reaches the area of build up and then uses an auger to clear the area. At Marc Francis Plumbing we offer reliable and long-lasting drain cleaning solutions. We use the latest methods and tools to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve in your home.

The Benefits of a New Water Heater
The average lifespan of a hot water heater is 10-15 years, so most homeowners will reach a point when they must replace their hot water heater. While this is often something that homeowners want to avoid and don’t look forward to, there are some benefits to having a new hot water heater.
First, new water heaters are more energy efficient. Because of improved technology, they use less energy and will help reduce your utility bills. You use your water heater year-round, so having a more efficient system can add up to significant savings over the course of a year.
Second, a new hot water heater will give you a longer-lasting supply of hot water. No one wants to have to race to the bathroom to make sure they get the first (and only) hot shower or to get into a bath only to realize that the hot water ran out when it was only half full. A new hot water heater will give you a longer-supply of hot water and eliminate these concerns.
Finally, a new water heater helps you avoid issues before they happen. If you have an old water heater, you’ll find yourself in need or repairs more often. Replacing your unit when it’s nearing the end of its lifespan is an easy way to avoid these headaches and ensure that your home has hot water.
If you’re having issues with your hot water heater or are concerned that you need a new one, our plumbers can help. We offer expert water heater installation services, and can even help you choose the perfect system for your budget and home needs.
