Ans: Trenchless is the only way to go. Trenchless sewer line replacement has 90% fewer mechanical connections, a seamless pipe with 100 year service life and it’s very pliable so it won’t be adversely affected by earth movement, settling or earthquakes. It’s also the least invasive method currently on the market allowing driveways, sidewalks and yards to remain in-tack while the new sewer line is being installed beneath the surface.

Ans: The long list of benefits makes tank-less water heaters a great alternative to conventional tank water heaters. Tank-less water heaters provide unlimited, continuous hot water and eliminate the wasteful reheating of hot water stored in a tank. They require a lot less space, need less servicing and use less energy than tank water heaters. Tank-less water heaters don’t heat water until water flow is detected, so no energy is wasted keeping water hot. On the other hand, conventional tank water heaters store hot water and automatically fire up to keep the water in the tank hot rather you’re using it or not. An added bonus is that tank-less water heaters reduce utility bills while reducing the emission of carbon monoxide and other pollutants.

Ans: Normal water pressure for a residential home should be between 30-60 psi.

Ans: There are all kinds of methods that might eliminate odor problems. One method is to pour a box of baking soda down the disposal while it is on and with the water running. You can also try pouring a cup of automatic dishwashing soap down the disposal while it is on and the water is running.

Ans: There’s no one right answer and it could be any number of problems. The most likely cause is a leaking water control diaphragm. But it can also be a faulty fill valve, a bad tank-to-bowl gasket or loose leaking seals on the tank mounting bolts.
