Your Ever-Reliable Toilet.

We surely do take them for granted until they won’t allow us to do so anymore.  Our toilets work like well-oiled machines for years, then slowly fill-up, back-up, and fight back.  I think a lot of people feel that fixing a toilet is a DIY job, and maybe it is in some rudimentary instances.  Perhaps, you are just buying time before the inevitable.

Let us at least explore some of the common problems you may have with your toilet(s) –

1.  The tank won’t fill, or it is slow to do so.

2.  Abnormal noises are coming from it.

3.  It constantly runs.  You just know that the next water bill will reflect that.

Let me reassure you that I use Fluidmaster professional quality toilet parts.  I carefully vetted my choices and I feel that these are the best.  My name is Brent Staats of Staats Plumbing.  I have taken great pride in using quality parts in all of my plumbing repairs in the Columbus Ohio area.  Just give me a call anytime at (740) 625-5284.

Freezing Weather is not that Far Away.

Ice forms quickly in water supply pipes leading to exposed outdoor faucets when temperatures dip to 28 degrees or below (which they will in Columbus soon enough).  Water damage from frozen pipes may extend far into the home.  Pipe ruptures due to freezing faucets outside typically occur inside walls. 

Prepare for winter by –

1.  Locating all of your exterior faucets and remove attached hoses.

2.  Locate the individual shutoff valve in each supply line in your home leading to a faucet.

3.  Turn the water off, then go outside and let some water drain out.

4.  Stock faucet insulation kits can be installed in older homes.

Those are some preventative measures you can take around your property, but when pipes freeze you may need to call in a professional plumber.  In Columbus, Ohio that man is Brent Staats of Staats Plumbing.  It is just one of the many plumbing services that Brent and his crew perform every day.  Call Staats Plumbing at (740) 625-5284.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for You?

People often ask me about tankless water heaters.  The belief is that they are more energy-efficient than traditional tank-type heaters.  They think that it has to be better that they heat only the water that is needed so there is no energy loss while they stand by.  Throughout the world, tankless water heaters have been the choice for years.

Here are some factors to consider-

1.  Make sure that your tankless manufacturer is reliable.

2.  Don’t follow the hype…do your own vetting.

3.  Standards comparing tankless to tank are fuzzy.

4.  Cost.  Tankless water heaters are usually much more expensive.

None of these factors mean you should choose a tank heater over a tankless water heater.  Please call me and we will review your specific needs for your home or office.  I am Brent Staats owner of Staats Plumbing.  We are a leading provider of all types of commercial and residential water heaters in the Columbus area.  Give me a call at (740) 625-5284.
