Seasonal and Second Homes
What Should I Do If My Pipes Freeze in Truckee?
Open the affected faucet slightly, locate your main shutoff in case it bursts, and call us if you cannot clear it yourself. Our frozen pipes plumber team handles both emergencies and prevention.
How Do I Prevent Frozen Pipes in a Home That Sits Empty Part of the Year?
Keep the thermostat at a safe minimum, insulate exposed pipes, and have someone check the home periodically during winter.
I Only Visit My Home a Few Times a Year. Can You Check on It While I Am Away?
Yes, our maintenance plumbing service is built around seasonal checks for homes that sit empty part of the year.
What Should I Do Before Leaving My Truckee-Area Home for the Season?
Set the thermostat to a safe minimum, shut off the main water supply if the home will be empty long-term, and insulate exposed pipes.
Do You Work With Property Managers and Vacation Rental Owners?
Yes, we support scheduled maintenance and emergency response across multiple properties for property managers and rental owners.
Emergencies and Safety
What Should I Do If I Have a Plumbing Emergency?
Shut off the main water supply if it is safe to do so, then call us right away. Our emergency plumbing team is available 24/7.
What Should I Do If I Smell Gas?
Leave the area immediately, avoid anything that could create a spark, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance. Contact us once it is safe to do so.
How Do I Shut Off the Water to the Entire House?
Locate your main shutoff valve, usually near where the water line enters the home, and turn it fully clockwise. If you are not sure where it is, we can help you find it during any visit.
Water Heaters
How Do I Know If I Need Water Heater Repair or Replacement?
It depends on the unit's age, how often it has needed repairs, and the cost of fixing it versus replacing it. Our guide on water heater repair vs. replacement walks through the decision.
Do You Offer Emergency Water Heater Repair?
Yes, a complete loss of hot water during winter qualifies as an emergency, and we respond quickly.
Do You Handle Both Tank and Tankless Water Heaters?
Yes, we repair and install both types and can help you decide which fits your home.
Drains and Toilets
What Should I Do About a Clogged Toilet or Drain?
Try a plunger first. If it keeps coming back or will not clear, call us rather than using a chemical drain cleaner, which can damage older pipes.
Why Is My Shower Pressure So Weak?
This is often caused by a clogged showerhead, mineral buildup in the pipe, or a valve issue. We can diagnose the actual cause quickly.
What Should I Do If the Toilet Will Not Stop Running?
This usually means a worn flapper or fill valve, both inexpensive to replace. Call us if the issue continues after a basic check.
Why Does My Drain Keep Clogging Even After I Clear It?
A clog that keeps returning likely sits further into the line than a plunger can reach. Our hydro jetting service clears the entire pipe rather than just punching through the blockage.
What Is Hydro Jetting, and Do I Need It?
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean a pipe's full interior, and it is worth considering for a drain that keeps clogging despite regular cleaning.
Bigger Repairs and Water Quality
How Do I Know If My Home Needs Repiping?
Watch for leaks in multiple locations, dropping water pressure, or the same section needing repeated repairs. Our repipe specialists team can assess your specific situation.
Do You Offer Sewer Line Camera Inspections?
Yes, a camera inspection locates the exact problem in a sewer line before we recommend a repair.
Can You Check the Plumbing Before I Buy a Home?
Yes, a pre-purchase plumbing inspection gives you a clear picture of what you are taking on before you close.
Do You Work With Homes on Well Water?
Yes, well water behaves differently than municipal water, and we can assess your specific system and water quality.
Do You Install Water Filtration Systems?
Yes, we start by testing your actual water before recommending a whole-house or point-of-use system.
