There are multiple different methods for drain cleaning that plumbers can use. Some of them overlap with at-home methods you might find at a hardware store, while others should only be applied by a trained professional.
First, you’ll note that we do not generally use chemical drain cleaning solutions. While you may be tempted to purchase these at the store at the first sign of a clog, know that repeated uses can damage your pipes in the long term. They also often clear a clog only for it to come back a month or two later because they do not address the actual reason for the blockage.
Here are some of the methods plumbers do actually use on a regular basis:
Water main breaks are disruptive and destructive. Our plumbers in Pittsburg will diagnose your water main leak and address the issue as quickly as possible. We do have emergency services available in the case of a particularly dire water main problem. If you notice any of the following signs, give us a call, and we’ll determine whether or not your water main requires repairs:
Our experts know which filtration systems work best for your home. Good water treatment is tailored to your local water quality, the minerals present, and what your household actually needs.
For example, hard water carries high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which a water softener can filter out or swap for gentler ones. Pittsburg’s water runs moderately hard, so even though it’s perfectly safe, you may notice scale building up in your pipes and appliances or a dry feeling on your skin. A softener helps with both.
Other options include point-of-use and point-of-entry filtration systems. These pull hazardous and foreign particles out of your water so it’s safer to use and drink.
Pittsburg runs its own water treatment plant, buying raw water from the Contra Costa Water District and treating it locally before it reaches your tap. That water travels more than 200 miles from the Sierra Nevada, flowing down through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and about 10% comes from groundwater wells right here in Pittsburg. It’s safe to drink straight from the tap, though many homeowners still prefer the taste of filtered or softened water.
A sewer line connects your home to a public sewage system, so the wastewater in your home can be flushed and treated in a public facility. However, sometimes that sewer line degrades or becomes faulty, either due to human error or circumstances with the local environment. Plumbers often notice the following signs that something is wrong with a sewer line:
When you have an issue with your sewer line, give Almighty Plumbing a call at (925) 304-1006 right away! We will diagnose the problem and suggest a viable solution. In most cases, we try to repair your sewer line rather than replace it, as full replacement can be a disruptive procedure, especially if the pipe has completely deteriorated. A functioning sewer line will leave you with faster drains, clean pipes, and peace of mind.
We begin our sewer line services with a video inspection to determine what exactly is wrong with your pipes. Our state-of-the-art camera allows us to see into the sewer line without excavating and leaving giant trenches in the ground. Similarly, we offer trenchless sewer line repair and replacement when appropriate to reduce the interruption to your day-to-day life and maintain the condition of your yard.
The sewer line in your home is connected to a municipal sewer system and public treatment plant, so you may be curious about what sorts of issues should involve the city vs. what you need to take care of on your own. Almighty Plumbing is always happy to advise if you have a situation which you are not sure about, as we are familiar with the local guidelines and regulations.
The city of Pittsburg also has some clear local rules. The city is responsible for a certain amount of the sewer lateral from the sidewalk on a property and may handle repairs and cleanings for that portion of the sewer line. However, if there is a plumbing problem that does not extend to your whole home, you will need to take care of this with a plumber yourself, as this indicates an internal problem, not a city problem.
Our team specializes in tankless water heater repair and installation as well as standard tank water heaters. So, no matter what type of water heater you’d prefer to have installed in your home, Almighty Plumbing can handle it with ease. We’re happy to discuss options with you if it’s time to replace an old water heater, whether you’re interested in upgrading your capacity or you’d like to switch from a tank heater to a tankless one.
When replacing your water heater, take stock of the following considerations before choosing a new model.
Your water heater has to fit the space you have. For a small condo or townhouse, a compact tankless unit can be ideal. Larger storage tanks often need a closet or a dedicated spot in the garage or basement.
Our Pittsburg plumbers can help you figure out the right capacity, based on how many people live in your home and your average daily use. For a storage tank, that’s a simple matter of how many gallons it holds. For tankless, you’ll want to look at flow rate to be sure it keeps up with your household’s hot water demand.
Some water heaters are more efficient than others, depending on whether or not they are tankless, as well as what kind of power source they use. Taking into account these factors will help you understand how much you’ll garner in energy savings with your new purchase.
Repiping is a major undertaking, and it needs a plumbing company you can trust. If your pipes are corroded, made from outdated materials, or breaking often, it’s probably time to repipe the whole house. Almighty Plumbing is up for the job and will keep the process smooth from the first inspection to the finishing touches, taking time to understand your system and recommend the right materials.
Nearly half of the homes in Pittsburg were built in the 1970s or 1980s, which means many will be showing the wear and tear of age. Pipes do need to be replaced when they reach a certain age, and some materials that were in common use in the past, like lead or galvanized steel, are no longer considered safe.
Give us a call if you notice discoloration in your water, frequent leaks, or broken pipes. This may be a sign that you require partial or whole-hole pipe replacement!
No one wants to have to deal with an emergency. We do our best to help you avoid emergencies as our customer by developing a schedule for regular maintenance and planning for any replacements or installations ahead of time.
However, it’s still possible that something will go wrong. A pipe will burst unexpectedly. Your toilet might clog and overflow, or the water heater could fail with no warning. You don’t have to panic if an emergency suddenly crops up when you have Almighty Plumbing on your side.
