Westminster's Trusted Plumbing Experts

Here are a few things you can do during a plumbing emergency:

• Turn off the water valve or the main valve
• Switch off the power to any or all appliances that are affected.
• Using towels or a bucket catch small leaks.
• Call professional plumbers and do not use fixtures until they’ve inspected the issue.

You might notice more than one drain backing up and gurgling toilets. Floor drains might overflow as well. Another common sign is sewage smells. If you notice these signs, stop running water and book a sewer camera inspection.

It’s worth it when backups keep coming back, when large trees sit over the line, or before you buy a home. The video shows cracks, roots, or low spots and helps price the repair accurately.

Yes, using harsh chemicals can make pipes weaker and damage finishes. We recommend using a plunger or drain snake; if that fails, book professional drain cleaning.

Low water pressure can be a result of a clogged aerator, a partially closed valve, or a pressure-reducing valve problem. Often, there can be a hidden leak. You can find the issue with a quick pressure test.

• Insulate all pipes that are exposed.
• Seal drafts.
• Maintain indoor heat.
• Let faucets drip on colder nights.
