It’s recommended to have your water heater serviced annually to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. During a service appointment, Artisan Water Group can inspect the tank, check for signs of corrosion or leaks, flush the tank to remove sediment buildup, and make any necessary adjustments or repairs.

Hard water contains high levels of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause limescale buildup in pipes and appliances. Soft water, on the other hand, has been treated to remove these minerals, resulting in less scale buildup and soap scum. Water softeners are often used to treat hard water and improve water quality.

A toilet that keeps running after flushing could be due to several reasons, including a faulty flapper valve, a defective fill valve, or a problem with the flush handle mechanism. Replacing the flapper or adjusting the fill valve float arm are common DIY fixes. If the issue persists, contact us to diagnose and repair the problem.

In case of a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or major leak, it’s essential to act quickly. Turn off the main water supply to prevent further damage, and then contact us. We are available 24/7 for emergency services.

To prevent frozen pipes during cold weather, you can:

• Insulate exposed pipes with foam pipe insulation.
• Keep garage doors closed to maintain warmer temperatures.
• Let faucets drip slowly to relieve pressure in the pipes.
• Open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.
• If you’ll be away, consider shutting off the main water supply and draining the pipes.

A slow-draining sink can be caused by a buildup of debris, such as hair, soap scum, or food particles, in the drain pipe. It could also be due to a partially clogged or blocked pipe. Using a plunger or a drain snake can often help clear minor blockages. If the issue persists, professional drain cleaning may be necessary.
