FAQ

  • Drain Cleaning

    • How can you tell you need professional drain cleaning service?

      Call C & D Plumbing Inc. if you are experiencing any of these issues:

      • Slow drains
      • Recurring clogs
      • Several drains clogging at once
      • There is a foul odor coming from your drains
      • Flooding caused by a sewage back up
    • What are some popular drain cleaning methods?

      There are two methods plumbers usually use to clear a blocked drain: snaking and hydro jetting.

    • Why is hydro jetting the preferred method of clogged drain repair?
      • Hydro jetting can remove grease and other buildup from pipe walls.
      • Hydro jetting can remove large debris, such as tree roots.
      • Hydro jetting can remove soap, hair, food scraps, organic waste, and more that can accumulate to form a clog.
      • Hydro jetting can also remove mineral deposits and scale buildup within pipes.
      • Better drain clearing can prevent back-ups.
      • Thanks to the flexibility of the hose, it can clean pipes of virtually any size.
  • Sink & Faucet Repairs

    • Can a dripping faucet be repaired?

      The short answer is yes, it can. While many think that faucet repairs can be a DIY project, it is always safer to let a trusted professional handle it. Hiring a professional to repair your leaky faucet can also save you money in the long run, as poorly done repairs or replacements can cause more damage that will eventually need to be repaired.

    • What causes faucets to leak?

      Faucets may leak for several reasons. Here are some of the more common reasons you may require leaky faucet repair:

      • A corroded valve seat
      • Problems with the O ring
      • A worn-out washer
      • The washer wasn't installed correctly in the first place
    • Why is my porcelain sink cracked?

      One of the most common reasons for cracks in porcelain sinks is a rapid or extreme change in temperature. Something like pouring a pot of boiling water into a cold sink, for example, can create a temperature strain and cause a crack to form in the surface of the porcelain. Sink repairs might also be needed if a heavy item strikes or falls on the sink. Cracks can also form slowly, over time.

    • How can professionals fix my cracked ceramic sink?

      Depending on the severity of the crack, a trained plumber should easily be able to fix your cracked sink with an epoxy adhesive. Your plumber will simply apply the epoxy and smooth it over the crack to fill it in. Once the epoxy is dry, your plumber can paint over the crack and seal it, so that no water can get into the crack. If the crack is severe, your plumber may suggest replacing your sink.
