- When is it necessary to repair or replace your fixtures?
Faucets and sinks can give homeowners an array of different issues.
When is it necessary to repair or replace your fixtures?
Faucets and sinks can give homeowners an array of different issues. Faucets can become corroded from mineral buildup and will need repair to stop leaks and prevent future leaks from occurring. The O-ring in the faucet can become worn over a period of time and will also need to be replaced.
Slow draining sinks and sinks that leak are often issues a homeowner will experience at some point in time. It is best to call a professional when your sink is giving you problems so that the issue can be pinpointed and quickly resolved. Sinks that drain too slowly are being affected by mineral buildup in the pipes, or it can be the result of other plumbing issues. Leaking sinks are often the result of a hole somewhere within the sink, but this is not always the case.
It is often not necessary to replace your faucet or sink unless you are constantly making repairs. Once repairs on these fixtures become frequent and costly, you will save money in the long run to invest in new fixtures.
- What are easy tips to avoid leaks in the future?
One of the easiest ways to help prevent faucet leaks from occurring in the future is to clean them regularly.
What are easy tips to avoid leaks in the future?
One of the easiest ways to help prevent faucet leaks from occurring in the future is to clean them regularly. Cleaning a faucet regularly makes it hard for mineral buildup to occur. As long as there is minimal buildup, you will avoid corrosion and unnecessary wear on the faucet.
Faucets may leak due to the handle malfunctioning and not allowing the faucet to be completely turned off. This is the result of small washers within the faucet giving out. The handle on faucets can easily wear out if used regularly because every time the faucet is turned on or off it puts different pressure on the washers within the faucet. It is important to avoid slamming the handle up or down to turn the faucet on or off. Avoiding being rough with the handle can preserve the lifespan of the handle significantly.
- How can hard water affect the quality of your faucet?
Untreated hard water is high in mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium.
How can hard water affect the quality of your faucet?
Untreated hard water is high in mineral content, such as calcium and magnesium. This can create negative effects on the quality of your home’s faucets and fixtures. Over time, the minerals in hard water can build up in your faucet and decrease the normal flow of water.
A greenish tinge on your faucet can also be the result of hard water. The greenish or whitish tint comes from the mineral content in the water. This is the type of mineral buildup that can lead to a corroded faucet.
Corrosion can occur in your faucet if the minerals and buildup are not removed in a timely manner. Corrosion slowly eats away at your faucet and can result in holes appearing throughout the unit.
Toilet Repair & Installation Services
What are the main causes of toilet clogs?
- Toilet paper
Excessive use of toilet papers is the major cause of toilet clogs. Flushing vast amounts of toilet paper at once can result in clogging of the toilets. - Mineral buildup
Minerals and compounds in your water, especially hard water, can also lead to toilet clogging. The small deposits accumulate in the pipe and can become large enough over time to clog your toilet. - Strange objects
Objects such as hair, soaps, toys, feminine products, and at times even tree roots can block the water flow in your toilet’s pipes. - Main drain issues
Clogs can also occur in the central sewer drain that all pipes connect to. The clog arises due to several reasons as the pipe receives waste from sink drains, the toilet drain, and the shower drain.
What are professional solutions?
The issues related to toilet clogs may prompt you to try sorting out the problem yourself using plungers. Though they can help, it is important to call our professional plumbers to fix the problem for you using professional methods and tools. On arrival, we first investigate the clogging problem to determine the right method of repair. We may also use cameras to inspect the toilet drain and determine the seriousness and severity of the toilet clog.
We will use the plumbing snake or auger, a piece of flexible wire that is fed down into the toilet drain. It will go into the drain and push out all obstructions in the drain.
In removing larger clogs, we may also use a hydro jet machine that can easily cut through and remove built-up mineral deposits and obstructions causing toilet clogs.
Clogged toilets pose a great disturbance in most homes. It is an unsightly issue that results in still waste waters that may be hazardous to the health of the members of your household. At VanGo Rooter our plumbing services offer solutions to all your toilet clog problems. Call us today and get your toilet clog solved by our highly qualified professionals quickly and completely at pocket- friendly costs. Trust us for superior toilet repair and installation services.
When is this service necessary?
Preventing clogs helps in keeping your plumbing system in good shape. You will avoid problems of leaks and burst pipes that usually result from clogs. If you want to avoid future clogs, apply these preventive measures.
- Avoid using too much toilet paper at once. Though toilet papers are soft, they don’t dissolve instantly, therefore using too much of it at the same time could cause your toilet to clog.
- Be sure not to flush foreign objects like hair, soaps, toys, feminine products, or paper towels down your toilet.
- Avoid flushing dental floss and latex products down your toilet.
- Always keep the toilet lid closed and ensure that they aren’t any objects near the toilets that kids can easily drain down the toilet.

Slab Leak Repair Services
What is a slab leak?
Slab leaks are slow water leaks from plumbing lines buried under the slab foundations of your home. Leaks develop as a result of shifting soils, and soils can shift more frequently once the leak has developed. Even a leak as small as a pinhead will waste 360,000 gallons of water each year, so it’s critical for any householder to detect leaks at an early stage before water wastage becomes even larger.
Do you suspect a slab leak in your home? Trust VanGo Rooter to handle your slab leak repair services. We have a team of certified, licensed, and insured plumbers that are experienced and knowledgeable in diagnosing and remedying slab leaks with accuracy and speed. We also extend a one-year warranty on all parts and labor. Don’t suffer from slab leaks and call us today.
What causes them?
The majority of homes in the region are built on concrete slabs due to unstable clay soils in the area. Although slab foundations reduce risks of structural damage to the home, soil movements can cause damage to the plumbing lines buried beneath the slabs. Once the leak has developed, wet soil leads to even further soil shifts, so the problem is easily compounded.
What are signs you have a slab leak?
Some common signs of slab leaks include:
- Increased water bills for no apparent reason.
- Constantly hearing the sound of running water when faucets in the home are not on.
- Cracks appearing in foundations of the home.
- Signs of a visible shift in soil surrounding your home.
- Floor coverings in the home starting to discolor, for example hardwood floors.
- Bad aromas starting to come from floors or walls of the home.
Ignoring the problem can cause slab foundations to cave in or flooring within the home to collapse in the worst case scenarios.
How can you take care of them?
Your plumbing and slab leak professionals can help you avoid slab leaks if you book an annual plumbing inspection. Early detection of plumbing leaks is essential as it helps you avoid costly maintenance issues like foundation repairs. When water pressure tests reveal low pressure, this is often a sign of a leak somewhere around the home.
Modern slab leak detection methods make it easy to locate the source of leaks and your professional plumber can offer spot repairs to isolated slab leaks that will solve smaller problems or repiping of your plumbing lines. When the slab leaks has caused major damage to the home, it can costs tens of thousands of dollars to put foundation repairs into place and restore flooded properties, so you need to report any potential slab leak problems just as soon as you suspect this is becoming an issue.
