  • What are the most common causes of pipe corrosion?

    Pipe corrosion can be caused by a number of things, almost all of which are related to water quality, including:


    1) Chemicals in the water

    2) The pH of the water

    3) The amount of oxygen in the water

    4) The temperature of the water

    5) The water pressure and the speed at which the water moves through the pipes

  • How can I check if I have a leak?

    If you think you have a leak in your home, it is best to call in a professional, licensed plumber to help diagnose where it is. Search for a local 24 hr plumber near me and choose Slaughter Plumbing Service Inc. Call today!



  • Do I really need to worry about hidden leaks?

    Yes! Not only do leaks get larger with age, but they can also potentially cause damage to your home. Leak detection and repair offers a number of other benefits, including:


    1) Reduced or eliminated water loss

    2) Reduced risk of damage associated with leaks

    3) Reduced need for emergency repairs

    4) Reduced need for water treatment and pressurization


    If you have a leak, search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give us a call at Slaughter Plumbing Service Inc.


  • Why does water back up into the sink when I run the dishwasher?

    This usually means there’s food stuck in your disposal. Since the disposal drain and dishwasher drain are connected, a clog in one will lead to a backup in the other. To prevent this from happening, always make sure your garbage disposal is free of food particles before turning on the dishwasher and always run the garbage disposal with plenty of cold water.


    If you need help with backed-up drains, search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give us a call. We carry garbage disposals on our trucks and can have you up and running the day you call.


  • What are some of the biggest benefits tankless water heaters offer over conventional heaters?

    One benefit of tankless water heaters is that, unlike conventional water heaters, they never run out of hot water. While storage tank water heaters have a limited capacity (usually between 40 and 60 gallons), tankless water heaters heat water as it passes through the system, meaning you’ll never run out of hot water.


    Another benefit is that since there’s no stored water, there’s no risk of an untimely leak (flooding from water heaters is one of the most common homeowner insurance claims). Since you’re only heating the water you’re using, you’ll see major reductions in your energy bills, too.


    Should you be interested in installing a water heater, search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give us a call today.


  • How can I tell if I need a water heater replacement?

    You should think about having your water heater replaced if you notice any of the following signs:


    1) Rust-colored water

    2) Lack of hot water

    3) Moisture or flooding around the base of your water heater


    If you are on a well, the hard water can limit your water heater’s lifespan. Water softening or installing a water conditioner will help extend the life of your water heater. For more information, search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give us a call at Slaughter Plumbing Inc today for a local plumber to answer your questions.


  • What do I do if my toilet overflows?

    You may have a blocked toilet, drain, or sewer line. Whatever the cause, call the professionals at Slaughter Plumbing for a 24 hr plumber near me to fix the issue.


  • When should I repair or replace a drain or sewer line?

    There are obvious times when a drain or sewer line should be repaired or replaced. One instance is when the line cannot be cleaned. If heavy and extensive root infiltration exists, it should be replaced. Extensive root growth is indicative of the failure of the entire line. If a back pitch of the line exists, an extensive section of the run of pipe typically has to be replaced to have the correct pitch.


    Other conditions make the decision to repair or replace a sewer pipe much more difficult. One of the factors is strictly personal. Some people only have to live through one or two clogs to decide to replace the sewer line. Other people will suffer through years of stoppages and thousands of dollars in drain cleaning bills before they agree to do repair work. 


    Search for a 24 hr plumber near me and the professionals at Slaughter Plumbing will be more than happy to help you.


  • What should I expect to pay for sewer and water main cleaning?

    An exact price is only determined once the nature and the extent of the problem is diagnosed by a professional plumber. Unless some obvious and unforeseen condition exists, the price should remain close. If additional equipment is needed or the reported condition changes, it may be reasonable to expect a change in the quoted price. Search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give us a call today at Slaughter Plumbing for help with your sewer cleaning.


  • What are the signs of a clogged drain?

    A number of signs can indicate a clogged drain. If water is draining slowly in your sinks and tubs, something may be clogging the pipes. Similarly, if you flush the toilet and water backs up into your sinks or tubs, a blockage may be preventing the sewer water from leaving the house. In some cases, you may hear excessive gurgling in your pipes. Additionally, you may notice bad odors. The odors can come from rodents stuck in the pipes or other rotting biological materials such as hair or food. Should you notice any of these signs, be sure to search for a 24 hr plumber near me and give the experts at Slaughter Plumbing a call today.
