Signs You Need Plumbing Repair?

Keeping your plumbing system maintained is easy. In addition to scheduling yearly plumbing maintenance and inspections, you can also educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of a plumbing issue. Knowing when to call an expert plumber can save you time and money.

Symptoms of a plumbing issue include:

An unexpected increase in your water bills
Water stains on walls and ceilings
Sounds of running water when all your taps are off
Chronically clogged toilets
Slow-moving drains
Odors coming from your pipes
Low water pressure
Wet spots in your yard
Flooding

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to contact an experienced plumber as soon as possible. If left untreated, plumbing problems can result in extensive property damage, and in cases where your sewer line is involved, a contaminated water supply. Our knowledgeable Hammond plumbers can diagnose your issue, provide you with your repair options, and guide you throughout the process. We can even handle large jobs such as repiping, sewer line replacement, and backflow issues.

What Are Signs You Need Water Heater Repair?

If you discover a problem with your water heater, there’s no need to panic. Not every issue is serious, and there are some quick fixes you can try if you’re comfortable with some DIY items. If not, you can always call Meyer’s for experienced and reliable water heater repair in Hammond.

Cold water instead of hot – With a gas-fired water heater, the pilot light may be out, and you just need to re-light it. If it won’t stay lit, a faulty control valve may be the culprit. If that’s not the issue, the thermocouple may have failed. With an electric water heater, you may have a faulty thermostat or top heating element.
Water on the floor around the tank – If your water is too hot, it can cause the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve to open. Simply lowering the temperature on the heater’s thermostat may solve the problem. If the bottom of the tank is leaking rust-colored water, though, you may need to replace the appliance.
Orange-colored hot water – Rust is present in the storage tank, which usually indicates that the sacrificial anode rod is failing. This rod is designed to rust out so that the tank won’t corrode.
A rotten egg smell – This occurs when bacteria is growing inside the tank and feeding on hydrogen gas from your anode rod. Drain and flush the tank, then add two pints of a three-percent solution of hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit for two hours, then refill the tank with water. If it happens again, change out the existing anode rod with one made of a zinc alloy.
High-pitched whining or popping sounds – This indicates that the water inside your gas heater is actually boiling due to excessive sediment. If you have an electric heater, the elements may be coated with sediment, so you’ll need to remove and clean them, in addition to flushing the tank.

"The technicians are skilled, professional and friendly"
I have used Meyer's several times for both plumbing and electrical work. The technicians are skilled, professional and friendly. It's a comfort to know that any issue I have will be handled correctly. They are also very responsive in terms of a quick turnaround time which is great! All the employees deserve a big hand. Very well my latest issue was a root problem that went all the way out to the alley. Water was backing up in the basement. The plumber handled it quickly and without issue.

Happy Customer
"They did great work"
Got a new water heater, was installed in about 2 hours and they did great work. Pricing was good too. I would definitely be calling them for any other work.

"In the end, they fixed the problem"
New AC & installed zoning. Few challenges with the install but in the end, they fixed the problem. Would hire again.

Happy Customer
"Very happy with their work and especially with the prices"
Great Prices, Great Work! They have installed a new central air unit and a now a new furnace along with new ductwork. Very happy with their work and especially with the prices. We got many quotes and they beat everyone by quite a bit. We'll be using them in the future as well!!

Karen O.
"Good quality service"
Heating and A/C. I really don’t know about the price, I guess compared with what I’ve seen on television, advertised prices. This is the first time we’ve had central air. They have good quality service.

Happy Customer
"Replaced my entire HVAC system and they did a professional job"
I've used them a couple of times now for heating, air-conditioning and plumbing. Prompt service with call-ins before they arrive. Replaced my entire HVAC system and they did a professional job. Had an issue with the A/C unit where it turned on anytime the furnace turned on, but they came back the next day and fixed it. Would definitely recommend them for any work they do.
