  • What is your consultation fee?

    We charge $125 for a consultation with one of our local plumber technicians. That fee will go toward the service if we proceed with the job.

  • Can you fix low water pressure problems?

    Yes, in most cases, we can address low water pressure problems. To find out more about our services, including addressing water pressure problems, sewer repair, and faucet installation, contact our team at Syd's Plumbing & Repairs today!

  • Why do my pipes make a knocking noise?

    In most cases, the pressure-reducing valve may need to be replaced, or the pipes may not be properly secured. Knocking noises can also happen when your water heater doesn't have an expansion tank. If you're noticing knocking noises from your pipes, contact our team today to set up an appointment with a local plumber.

  • How often should I have my drains cleaned?

    In residential settings, we recommend making an appointment for drain cleaning as soon as you notice signs of slow draining.

  • How do I know if I have a water leak?

    A water leak can show up as moisture in the basement, water staining on the ceiling, or even a high water bill. It's essential to address leaks right away, since household leaks can lead to around 180 gallons of wasted water each week for the typical family, according to the EPA. That's roughly 9,400 gallons each year!

  • How do I know if my drain needs professional cleaning?

    Common signs include slow drainage, recurring clogs, foul odors, water backups, or gurgling noises from your pipes.

  • What tools do you use for drain cleaning?

    We use professional-grade tools such as drain snakes, and video inspection cameras to diagnose and clear blockages safely and effectively.

  • Do you offer emergency drain cleaning services?

    Yes, we provide emergency drain cleaning services to address urgent clogs and backups. Contact us anytime for fast and reliable assistance.

  • Is there a difference between drain cleaning and drain clearing?

    Yes, drain clearing removes a specific clog, while drain cleaning involves a thorough process to clear buildup, grease, and debris throughout the pipe for long-term results.

  • What can I do to prevent drain clogs?

    Avoid pouring grease, oil, or food scraps down the sink. Use drain screens to catch debris, and schedule regular maintenance to keep your drains clear.
