Gurgle, gurgle. Hiss. If you immediately recognize these sounds from any plumbing in your Missouri home, it could indicate you need a home plumbing inspection.

Plumbing emergencies may seem like spontaneous events that happen without warning, but that’s not always the case.
They typically start as minor issues that grow bigger over time. As the plumbing problem balloons, it offers clues about the nature of the impending emergency.

But like any hardworking appliance, it can run into issues from time to time. Knowing the signs that your water heater needs repair can save you from a cold shower or a major plumbing disaster. Here are five key indicators from Tony LaMartina Plumbing that your water heater might be in trouble:

The holidays are all about warmth, joy, and family… until someone clogs the kitchen sink with mashed potatoes and gravy. Nothing says “season’s greetings” quite like a backed-up drain when you are trying to serve dinner!

Living in Missouri means getting used to living with hard water—or does it?

Water softeners help reduce water hardness by removing nuisance minerals. While they are generally reliable, they can sometimes develop issues that affect their performance.

Whether it is the suspiciously lush patch of grass in your University City yard, the unmistakable, nose-crinkling scent of sewage, or the ominous gurgling sound reverberating up your drains, these are some of the signs every homeowner dreads—signs of a sewer line leak.

The EPA reports the average homeowner could save about $140 per year by replacing an outdated toilet with a more water-efficient model.

You may be able to resolve the issue on your own, but if you can’t or would rather leave it to the professionals, Tony LaMartina Plumbing Company is here for you.
