Questions About Plumbing Service
Short answers on emergencies, older pipes and getting a house ready for winter.
Do you work on rental units, shops and offices, or only houses?
Both. Most calls come from homeowners and landlords in Elyria, and small shops and offices call for repairs too, such as a restroom drain that backs up or a supply line that leaks.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water that will not stop, sewage coming up through a floor drain or a tub, a house with no water at all, or water near outlets and the electrical panel. Close the main shutoff if water is running, keep people away from wet electrics, and call. A smell of gas is the gas utility’s call first, from outside the house.
How can I tell what kind of pipes a house has?
Look where the water line enters the basement and along the joists. Copper is orange-brown and dull, galvanized steel is gray with threaded joints, PEX is flexible plastic tubing in red, blue or white, and old drain stacks are often black cast iron. Many older Elyria houses have a mix after decades of repairs.
Which plumbing jobs are worth doing in the fall?
Disconnect the garden hoses, make sure the main shutoff turns, wrap pipes that run through cold spaces, and test the sump pump before the spring melt. Fall is also a good time to look over the water heater, before the cold months ask the most of it.
How does a repair visit usually go?
It starts with finding the cause of the problem, then the options for fixing it, then the work itself and a round of checks before the job is called finished.
Customer Reviews
Second time calling Sandelwood and they came through again. Last spring they fixed a leaking shutoff valve under my bathroom sink, and this week I called because the toilet in the basement kept running all night.
Had a sewer camera inspection done before we closed on our house. He ran the camera all the way out to the street and walked us through the footage. No breaks or root intrusion which was a big relief. He showed us a spot with a slight belly in the line to keep an eye on. Very glad we had it checked.
So our kitchen sink started draining really slow and then backed up into the other side. Deshawn came out, snaked the line and pulled out a big clog of grease. He also noticed the trap was cracked and swapped it while he was there. Drains fine now. He told me not to pour grease down there even with hot water, which I always did. Oops, lesson learned.
