Question 6

What causes low water pressure in my home?

Low water pressure can be frustrating, especially when showers, faucets, or appliances aren't working like they should.

Question 17

What are the signs I need a new water heater?

Accepted Answer

Some common warning signs include running out of hot water faster than usual, water that's rusty or looks discolored, strange rumbling or popping noises coming from the tank, or visible leaks around the unit. Age is also a big factor. If your water heater is around 10 to 12 years old or more, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Some problems can be repaired, but others may point to replacement being the better option after a professional inspection.

Question 18

What's the difference between a tank and tankless water heater?

Accepted Answer

A traditional tank water heater keeps a set amount of hot water stored and ready to use. A tankless water heater works differently. It heats water as you need it, so you're not limited by a tank running empty. Both have their advantages depending on your home, how much hot water you use, and your budget. If you're not sure which is right for you, Allegiant Plumbing can walk you through the options and handle the installation or replacement.

Question 19

What causes clogged drains?

Accepted Answer

Clogged drains usually happen from everyday stuff building up over time: things like hair, soap scum, grease, food scraps, or even small items that accidentally go down the drain. Sometimes, if clogs keep coming back or you notice multiple drains slowing down at once, it can point to a bigger issue deeper in the plumbing system, like heavy buildup or even tree roots affecting the main sewer line. If that's happening, it's a good idea to have a professional take a look.

Question 20

Do you offer sewer line camera inspections for drain problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you're dealing with frequent clogs or slow drains, we can run a sewer camera through the line to see exactly what's going on. It lets us spot the real issue, whether it's buildup, a blockage, or a damaged pipe, so we're not guessing and can recommend the right fix the first time.

Question 21

Do you offer commercial sewer line services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer commercial sewer line services. We can inspect, clean, and repair your commercial sewer lines. We also offer trenchless sewer repair methods, like pipe lining or pipe bursting, allow us to repair or replace damaged sewer lines with minimal digging. This saves your landscaping, driveway, and often reduces project time and cost compared to traditional excavation.

Question 22

Why do I need a sump pump in my Ohio basement?

Accepted Answer

Sump pumps are crucial in Ohio, especially in areas with high water tables or during heavy rain and snowmelt. They protect your basement or crawlspace from flooding by automatically pumping out groundwater before it can cause damage and mold growth.

Question 23

How often should I test my sump pump?

Accepted Answer

It's good practice to test your sump pump every few months, especially before a heavy rain season. Ensure the pit is clear of debris and pour water into it to verify the pump activates and discharges water correctly. Also, check your battery backup system if you have one.

Question 24

What is a sump pump discharge line and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A sump pump discharge line is the pipe that carries water your sump pump removes from your basement or crawl space and sends it safely away from your home. If that line gets blocked, freezes, breaks, or isn't installed correctly, the water can back up and put your home at risk for flooding. In Central Ohio, where heavy rain and snowmelt are common, having proper drainage is especially important. Allegiant Plumbing can inspect, repair, or install discharge lines to help keep water moving away from your foundation like it should.

Question 25

Why does my sump pump keep running?

Accepted Answer

If your sump pump seems to be running all the time, it could be due to heavy groundwater, a stuck float switch, a clogged discharge line, or a pump that's not properly sized for your home. It's normal for a sump pump to run more frequently during periods of heavy rain, but continuous operation can be a sign that something isn't working as it should. Allegiant Plumbing can inspect your system, identify the cause, and make sure your sump pump is protecting your home properly.

Question 26

How can I prevent frozen pipes in winter?

Accepted Answer

To prevent frozen pipes in Ohio winters: insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas (basements, crawlspaces, attics), let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold snaps, keep your thermostat at a consistent temperature, and seal air leaks near pipes.

Question 27

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Accepted Answer

First, immediately shut off the main water supply valve to your house to minimize water damage. Then, call Allegiant Plumbing for emergency service. If water is near electrical appliances, turn off the electricity if you can do so safely.

Question 28

Are chemical drain cleaners safe to use?

Accepted Answer

We generally advise against using harsh chemical drain cleaners. They can damage your pipes over time, are harmful to the environment, and often only provide a temporary fix. Professional drain cleaning methods are safer and more effective.

Question 29

What are the benefits of installing a water softener?

Accepted Answer

If you have hard water in Columbus, a water softener can provide many benefits: prevents limescale buildup in pipes and appliances, improves soap lathering, results in softer skin and hair, and can extend the life of your water-using appliances.

Question 30

Do you install water filtration and water treatment systems?

Accepted Answer

Allegiant Plumbing no longer offers well services, water softener installation, or reverse osmosis system installation. We still handle water heaters, drain cleaning, sump pumps, leak detection, and related plumbing repairs. Call (614) 824-5002 if you are unsure whether your issue falls under our current services.

Question 31

What should I do if my drain is clogged?

Accepted Answer

For minor clogs, you can try a plunger or a basic drain snake to clear the blockage. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners, since they can damage your pipes and usually don't solve the root problem. If the clog keeps returning, or more than one drain in your home is backing up, it's best to schedule a professional drain cleaning. A plumber can fully clear the line and help prevent future issues.
