How to Detect and Repair a Slab Leak.

What exactly is a slab leak?  A slab leak is a break in a pipe that runs beneath the concrete down in the foundation of your home. So, when the pipe breaks, water seeps into the ground and then into your home’s foundation.  Slab leaks can occur in either water or sewer lines.  Unfortunately, they can result in costly damage!

Early detection is vitally important.  To catch this problem at the onset, homeowners with concrete foundations must know what warning signs are indicative of this type of leak such as running water…where is the sound coming from?  A high water bill…that will get your attention!  Mysterious warm or wet spots on your floor.

There is no question about it…slab leaks and drain leaks in general can be disastrous for your home.  When you sense the signs of a leaking slabs or drains beneath your foundation immediately call the drain cleaning and repair experts at Staats Plumbing.  In the Columbus area, the answer to your plumbing problems is Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.

Cash, Check, or Credit Card

You have dealt with hundreds if not thousands of businesses over the years.  When you hear “we only take cash” run for the hills in most cases, especially if the person telling you that has just fixed your plumbing.  A good, reliable plumber is about as important as a great auto mechanic, or even a reliable doctor.

So often, we go for price rather than quality.  You have done it in the grocery store, maybe with your medications, or at a restaurant.  One place where that may be a huge mistake is with plumbing!  Is the work guaranteed?  Will you be able to easily get that plumber to return to your home if there is a problem?

I am Brent Staats, the owner of Staats Plumbing.  Yes, we cheerfully accept cash, check, Visa, or Master Card.  We do that to make payment as flexible as possible.  We won’t be going anywhere.  My family and my workers are proud residents of the Columbus Ohio area.  By the way, our Blue Jackets may need a goalie if you have any ideas!  Call us at (740) 625-5284.

Help…I’ve Reached the End of My Shelf Life!

It happens in every home if you live there long enough…your water heater begins to give out.  When it comes to water heaters, a little maintenance can go a long, long way.  You don’t need to get caught in the cold!  Learn how to spot the signs of water heater failure.  It will save you the literal “cold shower”.

Here are some signs that your water heater is going bad –

1.  Simply, a lack of hot water, or it takes a lot longer to get hot than it used to.

2.  Get ready to rumble.  It makes rumbling noises like a bad washer.

3.  The water gets cloudy and may even have a metallic taste.

4.  The pressure valve is leaking.

5.  Corrosion within the tank leads to cracks.

It’s okay.  Your water heater was not meant to last 20 years.  When that day ultimately comes you know whom to call in the Columbus, Ohio area.  That is the water heater repair and replacement professionals at Staats Plumbing.  Brent, or one of his reliable team, will come to your home as quickly as possible.  Cold water is not necessary!  Call Staats Plumbing of Columbus at (740) 625-5284.

Replacing a Toilet.

Now there is a fun thing to think about this summer.  The truth is, with the kids home the toilet has probably been used more than usual these last two months.  While toilets are very durable fixtures, sooner or later you'll likely want to replace one or more of them in your home.   

When you do, here are some of the tools needed to remove the old commode. 

1.  An adjustable wrench

2.  Perhaps a hacksaw

3.  One or more large sponges

4.  Obviously, a bucket

5.  A putty knife

There are more really, and don’t forget, unless you are an Olympian weight lifter you won’t be able to lift and move it out of the way by yourself.  Back surgery is much more expensive than calling Brent.  That’s Brent Staats of Staats Plumbing serving the Columbus Ohio area.  He has replaced more toilets than he would care to remember.  Call him at (740) 625-5284.
