Questions
When should I replace my water heater?
Replace if leaking or no hot water. Conventional units last 8-12 years; tankless systems offer longer efficiency.
What to do if a pipe bursts?
Turn off main water supply, contact Putman Plumbing immediately, and notify your insurance company for restoration claims.
What is a tankless water heater?
Tankless units provide endless hot water on demand with 98% efficiency, replacing traditional storage tanks.
Why is my water pressure low?
Low pressure may indicate a failing pressure-reducing valve, well pump issues, or water filtration restrictions requiring professional diagnosis.
How to handle drain stoppages?
Avoid chemical drain cleaners. Contact Putman Plumbing for professional clearing using mechanical methods and camera inspections.
When should I check my sump pump?
Test sump pumps in March-April before spring rains and August-September before hurricane season to ensure basement protection.
