Once installed, the tank water heater is good to go, for the time being. Over time, however, your tank water heater will suffer from wear and tear just like any other part of your household. If you want to make sure that it's there for you before you jump in the shower, then you'll need to have it taken care of by a professional plumber. We offer comprehensive water heater maintenance that will keep your system free of excessive sediment to improve performance and efficiency.

Water quality is no small issue. Considering how much we rely on water for various chores during the day-from bathing to cooking-it's critical that your water supply be clean and clear of contaminants and pollutants. But is yours? It can be tough to know exactly what the status of your water supply is without professional water testing (we do that, too!). Our water filtration system service often begins with an evaluation of your water quality because there are several different options available to homeowners today, ranging from carbon filters to reverse osmosis systems.

Your plumbing system is vital to making your home run smoothly, but it can't do that on its own. A critical counterpart to the drain and sewer system is your garbage disposal, which is responsible for properly disposing of the majority of waste that your home generates. The drain and sewer system is no slouch, working hard every day all year round to keep the rest of your home sanitary. That means that it needs quite a bit of professional help to cope with the resulting wear and tear. Lutz Plumbing, Inc. offers a full range of drain and sewer services, including garbage disposal services, throughout Kansas City.

How important is the water that you and your family members drink every day? Considering the body is made up of about 60% water, and that the average adult should be drinking anywhere from 2 to 3 liters per day, it's an important consideration. Homeowners with wells may already be using a water treatment system in the home such as a water softener or water filtration system, but the truth of the matter is that even if your water comes from a municipal source, you can't be too careful. You may know us already since we've been around for nearly a century, but if you aren't yet acquainted, we'd be happy to guide you when it comes to improving the water quality in your home.

Nothing would make us happier than to be able to tell you, with absolute certainty, that you will never encounter operational problems of any kind with your residential plumbing system. Of course, this is simply not the reality of the situation. All plumbing systems are susceptible to operational problems from time to time, and due to the nature of your plumbing system and its function, many of these issues will require an emergency response. If you have a situation on your hands that you deem to be an emergency, contact the Kansas City emergency plumbing professionals on our staff.

Do you happen to know what the single hardest-working appliance in your home is? It's your water heater. Every time you use hot water in your home, which is probably multiple times a day, you're making use of your water heater. That's quite a bit more use than your heater or air conditioner, with a correspondingly high amount of wear and tear on the system. Some types of water heaters never turn off at all, instead constantly working to maintain a standing supply of hot water. If you want your water heater to last as long as possible, you're going to need to make sure that it gets the best professional services available.

In some applications, an air gap is used in plumbing systems to prevent backflow from occurring. This is simply an open vertical space that prevents the cross contamination of water in a plumbing system. However, in areas where there is any risk of backflow entering supply pipes, backflow prevention devices should be installed. Because these are valves with moving parts, of course, there is the possibility for failure. That is why it is so important to have your backflow preventer(s) tested periodically.

Has your garbage disposal begun to jam or not grind properly? Garbage disposals help reduce the chance of clogs in your plumbing, so it is important that they are well maintained. If you have a garbage disposal that is jamming, think about repairing it before replacing. Often, all that is needed is replacement parts to fix the grinding system or motor and the disposal will work like new again. If you're unsure whether your garbage disposal unit needs replacement or repairs, contact the Kansas City plumbing experts at Lutz Plumbing, Inc.

When you turn on the water in your home or commercial space to cook with or wash your hands, you are rightfully expecting clean, potable water to pour out of your fixtures. If this is not the case, then you have a potentially serious problem on your hands. The last thing that you want to encounter is backflow in your home or business, which can seriously compromise the hygiene and integrity of your plumbing system. That is why it is so important to have a backflow prevention device. Backflow is a situation that develops when an undesirable reversal of flow occurs in a plumbing system.

Residential hot water is something that we all now take for granted, but that wasn't always the case (as we know all too well, having been in this industry since 1920!) As the plumbing industry evolved, more and more emphasis was placed on the efficiency of hot water heaters. The rate of efficiency is determined by the amount of energy required to bring a certain volume of hot water to temperature. The tankless water heater is a relatively recent system that is now the standard in many other parts of the world.

One of the most common ways to take action against hard water is by installing a whole-house water softener. If you want to make sure that your plumbing is safe, this makes for a great option. But if your problem is contaminants and pollutants, then a carbon water filter, reverse osmosis system, or UV water purifier would be more appropriate. These come in point-of-use models installed at individual faucets or a whole-house models installed at the main water line. Contact Lutz Plumbing, Inc. today to learn more about water softeners, and get in touch about testing your water in Kansas City.

If you've ever had to deal with a plumbing problem, especially something like a leak, you know that one of the most obnoxious things about them is their subtlety. The majority of the average plumbing system is hidden from view, and most plumbing issues don't display warning signs until they're very well-developed. The result is that most people don't even notice that they have a plumbing problem until it's too late to stop the majority of the damage. Fortunately, you don't have to sit and wait for a plumbing problem to ambush you.

Your sewer line is the pipe that extends from your home to the city sewer main, or to your septic tank if you use one of those instead. All waste that passes through your plumbing system will eventually leave your home through the sewer line. So, this is obviously a very important pipe. You don't want this pipe to fall into disrepair, for all sorts of reasons that we'll cover further down the page. One of the best ways to maintain your sewer system is by having sewer cleaning done. Lutz Plumbing, Inc. offers comprehensive sewer cleaning services throughout Kansas City If you need to schedule sewer cleaning services, call us today for an appointment or schedule online.

In order to understand how beneficial hydro-jetting is, you first have to understand the differences in how the other solutions work. Corrosive drain cleaners, as we've already discussed, will eat their way through the main body of the clog but also tend to leave waste buildup on the walls of the pipe. They also damage the pipe itself. Drain snaking, which involves using an auger to drill through clogs, can only open a hole as wide as the auger itself. That means that the majority of the clog will remain in the pipe, which will make it easier to close up and re-clog the drain.

When experiencing an obstructed drain that results in prolonged or entirely halted draining, you want to find a quick solution-- ideally one that also ensures a long-term resolution. There are a wide range of different drain cleaning techniques available on the market today. Hydro-jetting, or hydro flushing, as the name suggests, involves firing a high-pressure stream of water down your drain pipe in order to get rid of any clogs or waste buildup. A hose is inserted into the drain pipe, with an omnidirectional sprayer head at the end of it.

Your sewer line is the pipe that runs from your home to either the septic tank or the city sewer main. It is the single pipe through which all of your plumbing waste passes, which makes it pretty important for the health of the system. Sewer lines, like practically all new plumbing pipes manufactured in the last 20 years, are designed to last quite a while. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that they will. There are still issues that you need to be aware of regarding your sewer line, issues that are going to need professional services to remedy.

Whenever you hear about weather in Kansas City, you know it can be crazy and sudden. Heavy rain and flooding can happen one hour and then sunshine the next! However, your entire home doesn't have to be submerged in order for you to suffer flood damage. Even a moderate amount of water damage can cost thousands of dollars to fix. Mold can spread quickly and bacteria can be a problem if you home is soaked by sewage. This is especially true in areas of the home that are already below ground, like crawl spaces and basements.

All water that enters your plumbing system does so through the water line, the pipe that extends from the city water main to your home. This is the single most important plumbing pipe in the system, so it's a pretty good idea to make sure that it stays in the best possible condition. If the water line isn't healthy, your entire plumbing system isn't healthy.
