RESIDENTIAL PLUMBING REPAIRS
 

Watching water rise to the top edge of a toilet bowl is disconcerting to say the least. But in most cases the water will stop running before overflowing. Many toilet bowls are designed in such a way that they will usually hold the entire contents of the tank without overflowing.

But that's only IF the water level in the bowl was at its normal height before the toilet was flushed, and the ballcock and flapper are working properly and shut off when the tank is full.

The average house will be equipped with what are known as compression faucets. These get their name from the fact that a soft rubber or fibre washer inside of them is compressed down when you turn the handle, and blocks off the orifice or hole through which the water passes.

Continued use wears the washer away or distorts it so that it does not completely close the orifice, whereupon you have a dripping faucet or one that runs continuously.

Shower Damage?

Tired of that leaky, single stream shower head left over from the 1970s?

Shower heads can experience lime build-up that affects water flow, and older shower heads may not be up to current low-flow guidelines.

There may be a problem further down the line that is preventing proper pressure from reaching your shower pipes. 

Water heating is a thermodynamic process using an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water are for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, both hot water and water heated to steam have many uses.
