This is exactly why you hire a professional when it comes to plumbing and water heater installations.

We were recently called out to look at a water heater that wasn’t venting properly. We found that an atmospheric vent water heater had been installed and vented with PVC pipe. The problem is that atmospheric vent water heaters must be vented with metal vent pipe through a chimney or roof. PVC is not approved for this type of installation.

The excessive heat caused the PVC venting to melt and deteriorate. The homeowner was very fortunate that this didn’t result in a fire or carbon monoxide issue.

We removed the incorrectly installed water heater and all of the damaged venting and replaced it with a new tankless water heater that is designed to be vented with PVC.

This customer got lucky. Improper water heater installations can have serious consequences. If you’re unsure whether your water heater was installed correctly, it’s worth having it checked before it becomes a safety issue.

Unexpected plumbing emergencies can happen, but knowing how to react quickly makes all the difference. The single most important step you can take to minimize damage is knowing where your main water shut-off valve is located and ensuring everyone in your household knows how to turn it off. This simple action can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage during a sudden pipe burst or major leak, protecting your home in Oneida, Vilas, or Lincoln Counties.

Your water heater works hard every day. Neglecting its maintenance can lead to costly leaks and inefficiencies. One simple yet effective step to prolong its life and prevent problems is regular flushing. This removes sediment buildup that can corrode the tank and reduce efficiency. Staying proactive with your water heater can save you from unexpected cold showers and expensive repairs. For homes in Oneida, Vilas, or Lincoln Counties, protecting your plumbing system is key to maintaining your investment.

Your lawn can often reveal hidden issues with your home's sewer lateral. Keep an eye out for unusually lush, green patches of grass in your yard, especially during dry periods. This hyper-growth often occurs because leaking wastewater acts as a potent fertilizer. Conversely, soggy spots or depressions in your lawn, particularly above where your sewer line runs, can indicate a significant leak causing soil erosion. These outdoor red flags signal a need for prompt investigation to protect your property.

Don't ignore the subtle signs your home might be showing about potential sewer lateral damage. Consistently slow drains in multiple fixtures, such as your sinks and showers, are a common indicator. Another warning sign is gurgling sounds coming from your toilets when other water sources are in use, suggesting an obstruction. Foul, sewage-like odors emanating from your drains, especially in basements or less-used areas, also point to an issue. Recognizing these indoor signals early can prevent bigger problems down the line.
