Standpipe Plumbing Questions

Questions we get

Plain answers about water heaters, leaks, repipes, pressure and drains.

Do you work on tankless water heaters?

Yes. We install and repair both tank and tankless, gas and electric. Older homes in Lakeland sometimes need a vent or a gas line looked at first, and we tell you before we start.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Shut off the water at the main valve, then call. If you cannot find or turn it, call us and we will walk you through it. Keep clear of outlets if water is standing near them.

Why is my water pressure a number on your card?

Because too much pressure wears out heaters and fixtures, and too little makes a shower weak. A gauge on the hose bib takes a minute, and it is something you can check on anybody's work.

Do I need a repipe?

Often not. A repipe makes sense when the pipe itself keeps failing, as old polybutylene or worn galvanized can. One bad fitting is not a reason to replace a house of pipe.

Do you charge to come look?

There is a service charge for a visit, told on the phone before anyone comes. It covers finding the problem and writing the card, and you keep the card either way.

Can I send photos?

Yes. The chat takes photos of the leak or the heater label, and a person at the office reads them and writes back with a price and a day.

What do you do about hard water?

Lakeland water is hard, which builds scale in heaters and on fixtures. We can flush a tank, descale a fixture or talk about a softener. We do not sell one unless you ask.

Do you work on weekends?

Saturday mornings. For flooding, call and we answer in the order water is coming in.

Can you handle a gas line?

Only where the license allows. We do not take gas line work through this site. If you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
