When to Call a Plumbing Company
Although you can tackle many minor plumbing problems yourself, sometimes you get in over your head or the problem is beyond your skill level, and you must call a professional.
You’ll save yourself a lot of money, time, and aggravation by knowing what problems require professional help and calling as soon as possible.
Clogged Drains
A clogged drain might not seem like severe enough problem that warrants calling a professional. But sometimes, home remedies don’t work and liquid drain cleaners can do more harm than good. To protect your plumbing system and get rid of the clog as quickly as possible, it’s best to hire a pro when you need clogged drain repair.
No Hot Water
Suddenly losing hot water can throw your entire house out of whack. And since taking cold showers gets old quickly, you need a professional plumber to diagnose the problem and determine if you need a new water heater or can get by with a repair.
Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are one of those plumbing issues that get worse the longer you wait to call for help. Leaking pipes can dump hundreds of gallons of water into your home in short order, so time is critical when you have a leak. The quicker you call for help, the less damage your home suffers.
New Appliance & Plumbing Installations
If you’re not experienced with plumbing, now is not the time to attempt a DIY plumbing project like installing a major appliance, such as a dishwasher or re-routing a pipe. Your home’s plumbing is a complicated system requiring an experienced pro to do the job right.
Whether you need a new plumbing installation or general plumbing repair, you can count on the pros at Point Loma Electric and Plumbing. We guarantee it.
How Hot Water Heater Maintenance Can Save Your Water Heater
Depending on the model and installation fee, a water heater installation can cost up to $800 or more. Now, nothing can make a water heater last forever, but with proper maintenance, you can add years onto the lifespan of your system and save money.
Here’s how.
Traditional water heaters store water in a large tank equipped with a heating element to keep the water hot until you’re ready to use it. And while this might seem like a simple machine, it’s more complex than you think. And, consider that it works day after day to ensure you always have hot water at your disposal, meaning these systems are subject to wear and tear.
While water is the chief ingredient in the water heater puzzle, it’s also the water heater’s worst enemy. Mineral deposits and sediment build up over time and wreak havoc with the system. Sediment buildup causes your water heater to lose efficiency, can damage the heating elements, and reduce the system’s lifespan by several years.
Routine water heater maintenance flushes the tank, getting rid of the sediment and mineral buildup. The benefit is your water heater runs more efficiently, which keeps your utility bills low and you avoid most of the problems that come with aging water heaters such as loss of hot water volume and inconsistent water temperatures.
Unfortunately, many homeowners never think about their water heater until they get stuck with a cold shower in the morning because the system has failed.
Our hot water heater maintenance plans are affordable and effective at keeping your water heater running optimally for as long as possible. Call us today to find out more.

Why Hire a Plumber For Drain Cleaning Services
We get that most people never consider hiring a plumbing company to unclog a drain, especially with the easy availability of liquid drain cleaners that seem to do the job for a couple of bucks.
However, what you may not know is that overusing drain cleaners can lead to more significant problems like corroded pipes. When that leads to repiping your home, suddenly the money you saved using a drain cleaner doesn’t seem like such a bargain.
If you’ve never thought about hiring a plumbing company for clogged drain repair, here are a few things that might change your mind.
It’s Safer
As mentioned, while drain cleaners seem to do the job, they have significant drawbacks most people aren’t aware of. If you don’t believe it, check out the label on one of these products the next time you’re at the store. YOu’ll find a laundry list of highly corrosive chemicals and warnings against over-relying on these products.
Simply put, chemical drain cleaners will eventually damage your pipes. And that’s saying nothing about the warnings of chemical burns should these products come into contact with your skin.

Also, liquid drain cleaners break up clogs but don’t remove them. It’s common for the material to travel further into your plumbing system where ––you guessed it, it causes another clog, which means more drain cleaner.
Professional plumbers don’t rely on chemicals to clean your drains, and their methods remove the material causing the problems; this means you get safer, more effective drain cleaning.
Professionals Get to The Root of the Problem
When you have a clogged drain, it’s almost impossible to tell what’s causing it and where the problem is within the system. The clog could be food debris near the trap in the kitchen sink or it could be a tree root infestation in the main water line. Professional plumbers have diagnostic tools not available to the average homeowner that pinpoint problems quickly.
Professionals Have More Advanced Tools
Most homeowners probably have a plunger for dealing with clogs and little else. Plungers work for minor problems, but if the clog embedded deep in your plumbing system or results from invasive tree roots, no amount of plunging will solve it. Pros have access to advanced tools like hydro-jets to deal with stubborn clogs and leave your pipes clean and in like-new condition.
