When To Shut Off Your Main Water Line
Is there water leaking from your water heater, or did a pipe burst? Water can quickly start flooding your house. It’s essential to try to limit the damage as you wait for a plumber to arrive to fix the problem.
To prevent further water damage, you should shut off your main water line.
This will help prevent further damage from occurring while you wait for the experts to arrive at your Thamesville home to repair the plumbing problem.
However, once you turn off this line, you will not have access to water – meaning you cannot use the sinks, toilets, or other plumbing fixtures. So while you wait for repairs, you should consider sending your family to a neighbor’s house, or with family or friends until the fixes are made and the water is turned back on.
Signs Your Home Needs Drain Cleaning
Do you need a drain cleaning company to remove a blockage from your drains, or is your sink just draining a little slow due to a minor buildup and it’s nothing to worry about? This can be a hard distinction for you to make on your own.
Fortunately, our plumbers have some advice to help you determine when to schedule professional drain cleaning services.
First, you should watch your sink and shower to see if they are draining slower than usual, indicating you need clogged drain repairs.
Next, watch your toilets. Are they clogging or overflowing more often? It can indicate an issue with your sewer line. You should also be alert to foul odors, and watch for water backing up from your drains.
If you see these signs, call our residential plumbing contractors at Postma Heating & Cooling to book repairs at your Thamesville home!

Water Heater vs Tankless Water Heaters: Costs To Operate
When deciding between a tankless water heater or a traditional water heater, there are a lot of factors that you need to consider. One of the big ones is the total cost to operate.
When you shop for a new system, you might be deterred from buying an on-demand unit because it’s initially more expensive than a storage tank unit. However, the tankless system will provide cost savings over time because it is more energy efficient.
Water heaters use a lot of energy to operate. Therefore, switching to a tankless unit that uses less energy since it only heats water as needed (and offers instant hot water) and doesn’t heat the entire tank, can reduce your energy bills. The Department of Energy predicts you will save about $100 a year on your energy bills when you use an on-demand unit.
You can also save on storage tank units when you get an electric model instead of a gas unit. These units are more energy-efficient.
