## Customer Reviews

## Frequently Asked Questions

- When a drain is clogged, and the homeowners can’t see or reach it, they should contact a plumber. There are several ways to clear a drain, and a professional knows all the tricks to clear them quickly and safely.
- There are several things homeowners can do to prevent drain clogs. Never pour oily liquids down any drain, particularly in the kitchen, and avoid placing any stringy foods (like celery) in the garbage disposal. Use a mesh strainer to catch hair and other debris in the bathroom or a large commercial drain, and service the drains regularly to keep them clear. Avoid harsh drain cleaners, which can weaken the pipes and cause significant damage. If the drains are slow-moving or seem to clog often, call a plumber to see about having them cleaned or replaced.
- Water heaters are notoriously fickle. Call a plumber immediately if the heater is leaking or making an unfamiliar noise. Also, if you notice the water pressure has gone down significantly or isn’t heating up like it used to, have the unit serviced.
- Hard water is a common problem in US homes and occurs when minerals from the soil dissolve in the house’s water system. There are services and treatments available to alleviate the effects of hard water.
- MNS Plumbing handles all commercial plumbing issues, from clogged drains to storeroom floods. We’ve seen almost every plumbing problem imaginable in the commercial industry, and our experienced technicians can help solve the issue.
- When the same problem continues, contacting a reputable plumber like MNS Plumbing is best. Situations like these indicate that there is a more significant cause that needs investigating.
- Immediately close the shut-off valve below the tank to stop the water. If other toilets are overflowing, there is likely a sewer backup problem, which is a problem for a licensed plumber.
- Low water pressure in the shower is a common but serious plumbing concern that you can first test at home before contacting a plumber, though a plumber’s services may be required to diagnose and fix the issue entirely.
- A burst of black water from your faucet could indicate several issues, including old pipes, a defective water softener, and build-up within your pipes.
- Drains gurgle or make noises when the sewer is blocked and needs prompt attention to avoid a sewer back-up in the bathroom.
- Slow or incomplete draining in a toilet is often caused by a foreign object blocking the toilet.
- Your problem could be one of several things. Severe tree roots have penetrated the sewer lateral, and they are not being properly removed by simply rodding the sewer. The plumber may suggest hydro-jetting to remove all roots, sludge, and excess debris. The sewer lateral may be cracked, off-set, or separated underground. When the sewer line is compromised, it allows dirt, rocks, and other foreign matter to enter the sewer and block the line. The line should be video inspected to determine if this has happened to the pipe. The sewer lateral may not have the proper pitch due to settling or soil erosion. A sewer line must slope towards the street to drain properly into the city sewer. Excessive sludge and scale build up in the pipe without a correct pitch, preventing waste material from completely exiting the lateral.
- You should expect to see the inside of the entire sewer from the house to the connection to the main in the city street. **Note:** A plumber must clean the sewer line first if it is blocked. If it is not cleaned out, all you will see is dirty water upon video inspection.
- Yet another form of drain cleaning, power rodding utilizes an electric motor turning a drum holding a steel cable with a cutter on the end of the cable to cut tree roots or penetrate other blockages in pipes.
- Typically most homes built before 1980 will be 6” clay tile and should be cleaned once a year.

[Expansion Tank vs. Pressure-Reducing Valve: Which You Need](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/thermal-expansion-tank-vs-prv)

July 31, 2026

People tend to lump these two devices together because they both deal with water pressure, and both sit near the parts of the plumbing you never think about until something fails. But a pressure-reducing valve and a thermal expansion tank do opposite jobs. One holds back pressure coming into the house. The other makes room for the pressure the house creates on its own. Knowing which one your home needs, or whether it needs both, comes down to two questions: how hard is the water pushing in from the street, and is your plumbing a closed loop?

[What Water Hammer Is Telling You Before Pipes Fail](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/what-water-hammer-is-telling-you)

July 24, 2026

Shut off the kitchen faucet fast, and the whole wall answers back with a thud. The washing machine finishes filling, and something inside the pipes cracks like a hammer against a stud. That sound has a name, and it is not random. It is water hammer, and every bang is your plumbing reporting a condition that will keep working on your joints and valves until you address the cause.

[Pipe Lining vs. Pipe Bursting: Choosing the Right Trenchless Repair](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/pipe-lining-vs-pipe-bursting-trenchless)

July 17, 2026

A failing sewer line used to mean one thing: a backhoe, a trench across your yard, and a torn-up driveway. Trenchless repair changed that, letting a damaged line be fixed with little or no digging. But once you go trenchless, there is a second decision to make, because the two main methods, cured-in-place pipe lining and pipe bursting, work in completely different ways and suit different pipes. Choosing the wrong one wastes the advantage.

[Why Is My Water Bill Suddenly High? 7 Hidden Causes](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/why-is-my-water-bill-suddenly-high)

July 10, 2026

A water bill that jumps by a third or doubles from one cycle to the next rarely happens because your household quietly started using more water on purpose. When the number spikes and nothing about your routine has changed, it means water is being used or lost somewhere you don't see. The volume is real, the meter recorded every gallon, and the trick is finding where it went before the next billing cycle lands the same way.

[Why Is My Water Pressure Weak at Just One Faucet? 6 Culprits](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/why-is-water-pressure-weak-at-one-faucet)

July 1, 2026

You turn on the kitchen sink, and it blasts like normal, then walk to the bathroom, and the hot side barely dribbles out. Every other tap in the house is fine. That single-fixture pattern is actually good news, because it tells you the problem is small and local. The water arriving at your house is fine. Something between the branch line and the spout of that one fixture is choking the flow.

[Two Fixtures Gurgle When You Drain One? What That Means](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/why-two-fixtures-gurgle-when-you-drain-just-one)

June 10, 2026

It's a strange thing to notice: you drain the sink, and the toilet or tub gurgles in response. That cross-talk between fixtures isn't random — it's your drain system telling you that air isn't moving the way it should. Understanding the gurgle helps you catch a venting or clog problem while it's still minor.

[Why Your Hot Water Runs Out Faster in Summer](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/why-does-my-hot-water-run-out-faster-in-summer-than-in-winter)

June 8, 2026

This one runs against intuition. In winter, the water coming into your heater is colder, so the heater has to work harder, and you'd expect to run short sooner — yet plenty of people notice the opposite, running out of hot water faster in the summer. The explanation usually isn't that the heater makes less hot water in summer; it's that summer changes how much hot water you use and how you use it. Once you see what's actually driving it, the fix is clear.

[Sewer Smell in Just One Bathroom? What It’s Telling You](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/what-a-sewer-smell-in-only-one-bathroom-usually-means)

June 5, 2026

A sewer smell that shows up in just one bathroom — while the rest of the house smells fine — is actually a helpful clue. The fact that it's localized tells you the problem is in that room's plumbing rather than something widespread. Knowing the usual suspects helps you find why that one bathroom has started to smell.

[Recirculating Pump vs Tankless: What Fixes the Wait?](https://www.mnsplumbing.com/plumbing-blog/recirculating-pump-vs-tankless-which-fixes-a-long-wait-for-hot-water)

June 3, 2026

If you've ever stood at the sink running the tap, waiting for it to finally turn warm, you know the particular annoyance of slow hot water. When people look for a fix, two solutions come up — a recirculating pump and a tankless water heater — but they solve different problems. Understanding which one actually targets the wait saves you from buying the wrong solution.
