Oh No, A Broken Water Line.

When a water line inside your home breaks, it usually doesn’t take long to know it.  Fittings and connections in supply lines are the most common culprit in these events, as are things like nails from construction projects or vibrating pipes.  Not every leak is that obvious to find and needs to be troubleshot as well.

There are minor leaks and those that are underground, either under a home’s foundation or between the street or well and the house.  What causes these particular leaks?  They are typically caused by deterioration from age or that occur because the house or the ground is settling.  In rare cases, the break is caused by freezing.

A burst pipe is obvious…a leaky one, not so much.  At the very first sign of a broken water line please pick up your phone and call Eric of E M Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  He and his team serve all of the plumbing and HVAC needs in the Albuquerque area.  Keep Eric’s number handy.  Call (505) 980-9334.

Don’t Forget to have your Boiler Serviced.

As a business owner it is attention to details that has made you successful.  Every aspect of your operation is on your mind at one time or another.  How often do you think about your commercial boiler?  I didn’t think so!  A boiler breaking down in the middle of a work day would be a safety hazard to your employees and customers.

Just what constitutes commercial boiler servicing anyway?  Commercial boiler servicing is, first and foremost, about giving you peace of mind regarding its safety.  How important is that?  This assures you that your boiler is operating properly, while also checking that its seals, gaskets, and heat exchanger does not show any signs of damage.

Keeping your boiler working at its peak efficiency can be peace of mind or an emergency.  Don’t let it become the latter!  Call Eric of E M Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  They are your answer in the Albuquerque area for a trouble-free and efficient boiler in your business.  Make that call before the weather changes at (505) 980-9334.

Fix That Line.

You might be chanting that about your favorite football team, but in this case, it refers to damaged or broken water lines at your home or business.  How much does it cost to replace a broken water line and how long does it take?  These are questions that you may be asking, and the answers vary with location and severity.

Here are some steps that a professional plumber will take-

1.  They locate the main valve

2.  It must be shut off at the area where water enters your home

3.  A pipe cutter is used to remove the section in question

4.  Expertly, cut a section of copper pipe used for the repair

Just like any other maintenance job, it is a step-by-step process that, when followed by a pro with years of experience will be guaranteed to fix the problem.  That man is Eric Montoya and his water line repair crew at E M Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  The Albuquerque area has counted on their plumbing expertise for a very long time.  Give them a call at (505) 980-9334.
