Question 1

What should I do if my toilet is overflowing?

Accepted Answer

First, turn off the water supply to the toilet (usually behind the toilet near the floor). Remove the toilet tank lid and lift the flapper to stop water flow. Don't flush again. Then call Allegiant Plumbing at (614) 824-5002 for emergency service. We can quickly diagnose and fix the issue to prevent water damage.

Question 2

What types of plumbing services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We provide a comprehensive range of residential and commercial plumbing services. This includes leak repairs, drain cleaning, fixture installation (toilets, faucets, sinks), water heater services (tank and tankless), sump pump installation and repair, main water line and sewer line services, gas line services, kitchen and bathroom remodeling plumbing, and new construction plumbing.

Question 3

Do you provide free estimates for plumbing work?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the service. For straightforward **replacements**—such as installing a new toilet or sump pump—we can typically provide a free estimate via phone, email, or our contact form. However, for **repairs** (like fixing a running toilet) or issues requiring troubleshooting, an on-site assessment is needed. For these diagnostic visits, there is an **$89 service fee** to have a technician analyze the problem and provide an accurate quote.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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.
