A Leaky Gas Line is both Dangerous AND Unhealthy.

Owning a home in the Columbus area obviously comes with general maintenance duties. Broken pipe repair, gas line repair, leaky faucet, and toilet repair are among them. Perhaps the least obvious among these, and one of the most important to catch and fix, is when your home is in need of gas line repair. We can’t emphasize this enough!

Here are some of the symptoms of a home gas leak –

 

  1. Your gas bill is going up and up.
  2. Plants are dying…the canary in the coal mine
  3. Strange noises and/or odors are coming from one or more gas appliances
  4. How old are the appliances in your home?

I strongly urge you to call me immediately at any of these signs of a gas line leak. My name is Brent the owner of Staats Plumbing serving the greater Columbus Ohio area. Staats Plumbing will detect gas line leaks and repair or replace the line as needed. Count on my crew to help keep you safe in your home. Call Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.

GIGO

In the world of computers it means Garbage In Garbage Out. In our kitchen one of our most important appliances is the garbage disposal. How long should your Columbus Ohio home’s garbage disposal last? That is inexact because we don’t know how much foot traffic is going through your kitchen, but as a general rule of thumb it is up to 15 years.

 

Here are some signs that your garbage disposal is about to “give up the ghost” –

  1. New and obnoxious noises are emanating from it.
  2. A foul odor that never seems to subside.
  3. It simply will not turn on.
  4. There is a noticeable water leak.
  5. You seem to be constantly pressing the reset button.

It is certainly ready for a visit from us. We are Staats Plumbing serving the Columbus, Ohio area’s plumbing needs for many years. And, just in case a repair is out of the question we carry In-Sink-Erator garbage disposal units on our service truck. Whether it is repair or replacement we have you covered. Call us at Staats Plumbing (740) 625-5284.

That Drip Sure is Annoying.
