Frequently Asked Questions

Many homeowners and property managers have some experience taking care of various issues around their property as a cost saving measure. However, there are instances when a problem is only taken care of temporarily, incompletely, or the skill and tools required are beyond them. That is where Aqua Knight Plumbing comes in. Our plumbers have years of experience to assess and recognize current and future issues and concerns.

While many issues can be apparent (dripping faucets, pooling water, running toilets, etc.), there are many potential problems within walls, under floors, and underground that may not be as visible or would go unnoticed by someone other than a certified plumber. And there are times when a homeowner or a property manager attempts to repair on their own, whether it is successful or not, but they do not realize they are accidentally damaging their pipes or fixtures in the process. Situations like that may prove to be more damaging, costly, and time consuming in the long run.

Most drain cleaners available are able to restore drainage if the clogs themselves are more minor in nature, but persistent draining issues are indicators of a larger problem and the harsh chemicals can damage your pipes with repeated use (as well as costing you more money from purchasing the drain cleaners over and over again). On a similar note, an inexperienced person misusing a pipe snake or similar device can also inadvertently damage pipes and drains, worsening the problem.

Aqua Knight Plumbing can assess your drain situation properly and approach it the best way possible as a hair clog near the drain would be taken care of very differently than a buildup of grease further along in your plumbing system would be. Accurate diagnosis of any given situation combined with the skill and tools to best approach the problem and remedy it will not only save you time and money in the long run, but maintain the integrity of your plumbing systems as well.

Leaky pipes, older fixtures, and the like can be hazardous for any home or property. Observing water dripping from a shut off faucet, pooling near a water heater, or hearing a toilet run consistently are all concerning and require attention before they worsen. But if the water is leaking in the walls, the floor, or elsewhere, it can cause mold, rot, and corrode metal components as well. Aqua Knight Plumbing’s experienced plumbers can come out and inspect the areas of concern and recommend the best course of action to save you time, money, and reduce the stressors that water damage can cause. We check your property thoroughly, inside and outside, in crawlspaces and attics, and around all the fixtures.

Whether you are a new property owner and unsure what your sewer situation is or have owned or managed it for years, having routine inspections of your sewer lines is highly recommended to avoid significant damage to your property and avoid the stressors that incur afterwards.

There are signs to look for when sewer line issues may be obstructed. If multiple drains within the property are draining slowly, the issue may not be a clog in the drain. Similarly, if water backs up into a tub, shower, or sink when a toilet is flushed can also be an indication there is an issue with the sewer lines.

Before your concerns become a disaster, contact Aqua Knight Plumbing and we will come out and inspect your lines and fix your problems. We will examine the property and areas of concern as well as inspect the lines to determine if there is an obstruction and what the nature of that obstruction is. Plant roots, debris from the pipe itself, grease buildup, and other forms of refuse can partially or wholly block the sewer line. If the obstruction is located and corrected sooner rather than later, the integrity of the sewer line is less likely to be compromised.

As the majority of pipes are hidden away behind walls and under floors, visual inspection is very difficult to manage. But Aqua Knight Plumbing has the skill and the tools to help you. We feed our video camera system into your plumbing in an effort to see if there are any problems or concerning areas. It also allows us to be able to easily reach areas that would be very difficult to get to, such as pipes underground, within the foundation, or behind permanent fixtures. Also, within the pipes, our professional plumbers can easily identify problem areas (pipe corrosion or cracking, root infiltration, and other concerning issues) as well as anything that may be causing or contributing to a partial or total blockage. With all of this information, our experts are better able to offer you options and remedies for your situation.
