Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do tankless water heaters last?

    Tankless water heaters typically last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance, significantly longer than traditional tank units. At Pro Plumbing, we ensure proper sizing and professional installation to maximize lifespan and performance for Greenville homeowners.

  • What's the biggest benefit of switching to a tankless water heater?

    The biggest benefit is continuous hot water without running out, ideal for households with high demand. Tankless systems also save energy by heating water only when needed, reducing monthly utility costs and freeing up valuable space.

  • When should you replace a water heater instead of repairing it?

    Replace your water heater if it's over 10 years old, leaking from the tank, or providing inconsistent hot water. At Pro Plumbing, we help homeowners choose the right capacity and ensure safe removal and installation for long-term reliability.

  • Why do drains keep clogging even after clearing?

    Recurring clogs often indicate buildup deeper in the line or underlying issues like pipe damage or root intrusion. Pro Plumbing uses professional tools to fully clear blockages and address the root cause, not just provide temporary fixes.

  • What's the difference between drain clearing and sewer drain repair?

    Drain clearing removes clogs in sinks, tubs, and branch lines, while sewer drain repair addresses damaged main sewer lines from root intrusion or collapse. Pro Plumbing diagnoses the issue and provides the right solution to protect your home.

  • How do you know if a sewer line needs replacement?

    Signs include frequent backups, sewage odors, soft spots in the yard, or a collapsed line found during inspection. At Pro Plumbing, we offer full replacements when repairs are no longer effective, minimizing disruption to your property.

  • Can a leaking faucet increase my water bill?

    Yes, even a slow drip can waste gallons daily, raising your bill and reducing water efficiency. Pro Plumbing repairs leaking faucets and installs new fixtures with proper sealing to ensure long-term reliability and improved performance.

  • What causes a toilet to run constantly?

    A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper, fill valve, or overflow tube. This wastes significant water and increases bills. Pro Plumbing fixes these issues quickly to restore proper operation and efficiency.
