🚿 Seeing a tankless water heater error code and not sure what it means? There’s a better way to get answers.

Everything in the house was off… but the water meter was still moving. That usually means water is going somewhere. Possible causes include: ✓ A running toilet ✓ A dripping faucet ✓ An outdoor spigot left slightly on ✓ An irrigation or sprinkler issue ✓ A hidden water line leak A slowly spinning meter may not look dramatic, but it’s worth checking before the problem gets bigger.

We got a call from a homeowner who heard a loud “pop” under their house. They went to check… and found water leaking in the crawlspace. This wasn’t the first time. Just a few months earlier, they had another leak on the same piping. The problem? Older polybutylene pipes. We’re seeing more of these lately in homes built between the late 70s and mid-90s. The pipes can weaken over time and fail without much warning. In this case, we were able to stop the immediate leak—but knowing what type of pipes you have -- and staying ahead of problems -- is a big deal. If your home falls into that age range, it’s worth knowing what to look for before it turns into a bigger issue. 👉 https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/professional-tips/polybutylene-pipe-problems-lawrenceville/

💧 High water bill? You may have more options than you think. If a hidden plumbing leak caused your water bill to spike, some local water providers may offer a bill adjustment or leak credit after the repair is completed. We recently updated our guide to cover: ✔ Common causes of unusually high water bills ✔ How to tell if you may have a hidden leak ✔ Water bill adjustment information for homeowners in Forsyth, Gwinnett, Cobb, and North Fulton Before you pay that unusually high bill, take a look at the article: https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/plumbing/why-is-my-water-bill-so-high/

Sometimes homeowners notice a sewer smell in their home and assume something serious is wrong. In many cases, the cause is actually something simple in the plumbing system — like a dry drain trap, a clogged vent pipe, or a seal that isn’t doing its job anymore. But sometimes that smell is a warning sign that something deeper in the drain system needs attention. We put together a homeowner-friendly guide explaining the most common reasons this happens and what you can check before calling a plumber. Read the article here: https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/professional-tips/why-does-my-house-smell-like-sewer/ A better understanding of your plumbing system makes it easier to solve problems quickly — and avoid bigger ones later.

A slow shower drain usually doesn’t happen overnight. Hair, soap, and buildup collect over time until water can’t pass through like it should. By the time you notice standing water, the clog has likely been forming for weeks. There are a few things that actually work—and a few that don’t. https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/plumbing/shower-drain-clogged-atlanta/

Strong water pressure feels great—but too much of it can quietly damage your plumbing. Most homeowners never think about water pressure until there's a leak or something breaks. The truth is, high water pressure can shorten the life of your water heater, faucets, toilets, appliances, and plumbing fixtures. Learn what the safe pressure range is for your home, how to test it yourself, and when a pressure regulating valve (PRV) may be needed. 📖 https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/plumbing/water-pressure-regulator/

Most plumbing issues don’t start as emergencies. They start small — a strange sound, a slow drain, a toilet that doesn’t quite act right. If something in your home plumbing has been on your mind lately, it’s usually easier (and less expensive) to address it sooner rather than later. We’re always running plumbing specials to help make that decision easier. See what’s available this month: https://www.chooseaaronservices.com/specials/ Taking care of small things early?

Annual maintenance is far less expensive than tankless water heater repairs—or replacement. Over time, mineral buildup can reduce efficiency, cause error codes, and shorten the lifespan of your system.
