In the cold weather, water can freeze in your pipes and cause the pipes to break. A leaking pipe can cause flooding and serious water damage in your home if it’s not fixed immediately.

If you think you have a burst pipe, the first step is to turn off your home’s water store. You’ll accomplish this at the main water shutoff valve, which is usually located in your utility area or basement. Rotating the valve clockwise will stop the water.

Then contact our team at 570-648-0748 right away. Whether it’s behind a wall, in your yard or under your home’s foundation, we’ll be able to locate the broken pipe and mend it quickly.

If you don’t use more water than typical and your bill doubles, there’s a good possibility you have a water leak. Sometimes your payment will go up just a little bit. It’s harder to catch but will generally become more obvious as the leak expands.

It could be hard to locate a water leak without pro assistance. However you can check your water meter to figure out if the leak is inside or outside your home.

A little bit of mildew is normal in hot rooms like bathrooms. But it’s not usual to find big amounts accumulating on a non-shower wall, the ceiling or on baseboards, especially if these areas feel flexible to the touch.

A leaking pipe can force walls, ceilings and floors to feel soft or droop. It could also leave water blemishes on surfaces.

These problems can occur in rooms with poor air circulation or high humidity. But they’re especially problematic if you are experiencing other signs of a leaky pipe, like mildew or moldy smells.

Sitting water can make a room smell stale. If the space also has wet walls or floors, you could have a water issue.

Your plumbing can back up sewer water and cause damage when the water density lowers in your home. This can be caused by a broken backflow preventer, sewer line impairment or other local issues. Contact us at 570-648-0748 at the initial sign of backflow and our experts will get it fixed fast.

A few things can be wrong when your water pressure is lacking. There may be a block in your plumbing fixture. It may also be caused by a faulty water heater or a busted pipe.

If you possess a boiler with a tank, it has a finite capacity for hot water. If you’re experiencing cold water when you don’t use a lot of warm water, something may be wrong. Your boiler could be leaking, in need or repair or need to be updated.

An obstruction is probably to be at fault when your sink or shower is draining too slowly. We’ll use a special device like a drain snake to break it up and get your fittings draining smoothly again.

If your toilet’s tank seal fails, it will signal the tank to continue refilling. A toilet that is always refilling can rapidly drive up your water dues.

Your water should be see-through.

Don’t have concern if it comes out off-color once in a while, as this generally just means there’s air in the water store. If you find particles settling at the base of your glass, you should have your water tank inspected.

Water that’s any other color can be hazardous to your health. Listed are a few issues that can cause your water to be discolored:

• Brown, red or yellow—This is often caused by a water main break in your location. It can also mean your pipes are deteriorated.
• Green or blue—This is extremely serious, because it means your pipes are probably corroded. Your water can taste brassy or bitter due to a high density of copper or lead. Long-term intake has been linked to serious health problems in adults and children, such as intestinal illnesses, cancer and seizures.

If you’re observing discolored water or particles in your water, connect with us at 570-648-0748 and we’ll determine the issue.

If your toilet’s tank seal gets damaged, it will signal the tank to go on refilling. A toilet that is always refilling can rapidly drive up your water bills.
