Backflow Testing

The term, “backflow testing” might not resonate with you, but as a water consumer, it is something that affects you and your community. We all take for granted that the water we use in our homes and in our workplace is safe. Usually, that is true. However, it’s important that property owners have backflow testing services performed (if they have a backflow device) on an annual basis to ensure the quality of the water that flows into the property.

Backflow, as the name implies, is when water flows backwards into a building or house. This typically happens when there is a major drop in pressure in the municipal water system and can be caused by water main breaks, faulty sewer line drainage, major flooding or a host of other disturbances. If left unattended, backflow can introduce harmful pollutants and bacteria into the water supply.

Bathroom repair/ Remodeling 

You spend a lot of time your bathroom, which means it may be one of the most used rooms in your house. If you are experiencing problems with your bathroom plumbing, Calhoun Plumbing’s team of experienced and certified plumbers can help.

BATHROOM REPAIR SERVICES

There are a number of things that can go wrong with your plumbing. As your faucet, toilet and shower age, your bathroom becomes a ticking time bomb for a catastrophic event. Slow leaks become big leaks and over time, leaks can ruin the subfloor and the rooms beneath your bathroom. Here are a few of the bathroom repair jobs we can cover:

  • Slow drains
  • Leaking pipes (under the sink)
  • Leaking around the bathtub
  • Toilets running
  • Poor water pressure from your fixtures
  • Water spraying out of the sink faucet
  • Leaky faucets
  • Bath/Shower problems

Don’t let a plumbing issue in your bathroom become a bigger problem. Calhoun provides leak detection to help you isolate the problem and fix it before it turns into a major expense. We offer bathroom repair services to the Central Ohio area and in some emergency situations.

BATHROOM REMODELING SERVICES

If you have bathroom plumbing needs that go beyond a repair, Calhoun Plumbing can help with bathroom remodeling projects. Whether you are updating the look of your bathroom or improving the function of your bathroom, you need to work with a licensed plumber. Our experienced plumbers can provide advice on the design and function of your new bathroom while working within your pre-determined budget.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks can be very serious and lead to illness and even death if they are not fixed properly. The most well-known and obvious indicator is a sulphur-like “rotten egg” odor, that is added to the gas to help detect a leak. If you smell a very strong rotten egg odor, leave your home immediately call the local gas company.

One of our licensed plumbers will first turn off the gas, then inspect the gas line and the valves to your appliances. If the leak is not obvious, we will apply a commercial leak detection spray to your gas pipes to find the source of the leak. Depending on the location of the leak, it may be a simple as replacing a joint or shut off valve, or as complex as cutting the gas pipe and reinstalling to avoid future leaks. Either way, you can trust the expertise of Calhoun Plumbing to detect the gas leak quickly and fix the problem the right way.

Gas Lines

Whether you are building a new home or simply converting your water heater to gas, you’ll need a gas line run to fuel your appliances. Many consumers assume that an HVAC company is who you should call, but given the nature of how a gas line is installed, a plumber is actually the best person for installing a new gas line or tapping into an existing line.

Depending on the layout of your home, installing a gas line in your home or business can be a big endeavor. If you are planning a new or existing gas line project, give our team a call.

Kitchen Disposals & Drains

A backed up kitchen drain or a disposal that won’t empty are just a few of the headaches that homeowners experience at one time or another.

Clogged Kitchen Drain

There are a few things that will cause a homeowner instant stress and a clogged kitchen drain is one of them. If you have water backing up in your sink, the drain under the sink may be clogged. There are a few options that our certified plumbers can try to open your drain. The first is making sure that the garbage disposal (if there is one) is functioning properly.

If the garbage disposal checks out, we can snake the drain to dislodge or break up the clog, which hot water will flush. If snaking the sink drain does not work, the issue may be deeper, which requires a look at the main drain that empties into the sewer or septic line. Regardless of the severity of your clog, our professional plumbers will get to work and get your drain moving as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Broken Garbage Disposal

One cause of a backed-up drain is a broken garbage disposal. Some consumers throw everything down the drain, causing build up and clogs. We’ve worked on disposals that have fatty foods, chicken bone fragments, coins, and other heavy foods that cause the disposal motor to stop working.

In some cases, the disposal has a kill switch to avoid burning out the motor. This is a quick and easy fix. In cases where the mechanism is stuck or the motor is burned out, replacing the garbage disposal is the only option. Our plumbing professionals will have a new garbage disposal on hand to make the swap and get your kitchen back in working order the same day.

sewer & Drains

Drainage problems can happen at any time and usually without warning. You may have an issue in your sink, bathtub, toilet, shower, or sewer, and our team will identify the cause of the clogged drain and address it quickly and professionally. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment and will identify the cause of any clogged drains.

Sewer Jetting

If you are dealing with slow drains in your home or business, you may have a clog in your sewer drain. Clogs in sewer lines have many causes including a build up of grease and fats, hair, dirt and debris, as well as roots and other organic debris. Left untreated, a clogged sewer drain will continue to build and eventually begin backing up in your home or business, and with our experience of providing residential and commercial plumbing, you definitely don’t want that.

One of the options to open your drain is called sewer jetting. The jetting process uses high water pressure to break up clogs and force debris through the pipe as well as cleaning the inside of the pipe to remove build up like limescale and other substances that can snag things on the way through. Once the clog is removed, the flow will be restored, avoiding a costly and messy backup.

Sump Pump

Water in the basement is every homeowner’s worst fear. Wet basements can cause foundation damage, ruin storage items, and appliances, and foster the growth of mold. In many municipalities, sump pumps are required in residential and commercial properties. If you are in need of a sump pump for your home or workplace, call the skilled professionals at Calhoun Plumbing.

Tree Root Removal

Everybody loves a yard full of lush shade trees and they can even increase the value of your property. However, trees can cause major damage to your household plumbing system if they take root in the sewer lines or damage your downspouts. Left unchecked, tree roots can completely block sewer lines which result in expensive repairs. Having tree roots removed from your sewer and downspout drains avoids backups and clogs that cause costly damage to your home. If you suspect you have a problem with tree roots, call the plumbers at Calhoun Plumbing. They are trained professionals who can efficiently diagnose the problem and propose the most effective solution.

Video Inspections

A backed-up drain or sewer pipe can be destructive in your home or business. Our plumbers can only see so far down a sink or toilet drain to diagnose a backup, which is where our video Inspection technology can help.

Our video drain system is a diagnostic tool that we use to determine the cause of the backup in your sewer lines or pipes in your home. A tiny camera is attached to a cable and is snaked through your pipes until the camera reaches the source of the blockage. The images are transmitted back to a handheld screen that allows us to assess the issue and work on a solution to open the drain. The video also provides the homeowner or business owner with a view of what we are seeing.

Water Heaters

There’s nothing more disappointing than looking forward to a hot shower only to realize that your hot water heater is not working properly. If you’re experiencing problems like no hot water, not enough hot water, inconsistent water pressure, rusty-colored or foul-smelling water, it’s definitely time to take a look to see what’s going on. The skilled plumbers at Calhoun Plumbing can diagnose your hot water problems and determine if it’s repair-worthy or time to replace the entire water heater.

Water Leak Detection

If you’ve smelled watery odors or seen telltale stains on your walls, you might have a water leak. As soon as you suspect a leak, call Calhoun Plumbing. We offer experienced leak detection services in Columbus, OH.

What Might Cause a Water Leak? 

Leaks don’t happen on their own. Here are a few reasons your home has a dreaded leak: 

  • Age: If your home is older, the pipes might not be as strong as they used to be. 
  • Clogs: As you shower, flush, and use the sink, particles can clog up pipes and drains. This causes pipes to crack, break, and eventually leak. 
  • Temperature: As the seasons change, the transition from cold to warm or vice-versa isn’t always easy on pipes, especially older ones. 
  • Poor construction: If the initial home builder didn’t do a quality job installing the pipes, the pipes are more likely to have problems.

Whatever the reason for your leak, you need a professional company like Calhoun Plumbing to help you detect and fix the leak.

What Are Some Signs of Leaks?

Be on the lookout for these telling signs that you probably have a leak: 

  • Wet or stained floors, ceilings, or walls
  • Watery and unpleasant odors
  • High water bills
  • Dripping faucets

Call the professionals to inspect your home if you even suspect you have a leak.

Water Line Repair

Have you noticed an unexplained increase in your water bills and a decrease in water pressure? Are there squishy, muddy spots or standing water in your yard and it hasn’t rained? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you could have a leaking water line. A leaking underground water pipe is a serious problem that can result in high water bills when left unchecked, a broken water line can result in sinkholes and erosion, especially around your foundation. As the water collects outside of your home, the pressure could result in the water leaking into your home, which compounds the damage and expense. Don’t let this happen! The plumbers at Calhoun have decades of experience in finding and fixing leaking water pipes. Give us a call if you suspect you’re having a problem.
