Questions about plumbing

Why is my water heater taking forever to recover?+

It usually means sediment buildup in the tank, a failing heating element, or a dip tube issue. Most units last 8–12 years; if yours is past that, replacement is often cheaper than another repair.

Should I get a tankless water heater?+

Tankless saves space and gives you endless hot water, but needs the right gas line and venting. We can walk you through whether it makes sense for your home — sometimes a quality tank is still the better call.

My drain keeps clogging. Is it the line or just hair?+

If multiple drains slow at once, it's almost always a main line issue (roots, grease, or a belly). A single tub? Usually hair. We can run a camera to be sure before recommending anything.
