Common Plumbing Disasters
While you might be prepared to encounter common plumbing issues at your house, like clogged drains, you might not be ready to face a plumbing disaster. Some major plumbing issues our plumbers encounter in Seminole County are:
- Burst pipes: A broken pipe can be one of the biggest and most serious plumbing emergencies. This can quickly lead to a massive amount of water flooding your home.
- Leaky faucets: While dripping can be annoying, it can also lead to water damage and, if the leak continues for a long time, mold and mildew.
- Clogged sinks: If your sinks aren’t draining – or are even overflowing – you need to schedule services quickly.
- Clogged garbage disposal: If you put something down your garbage disposal you weren’t supposed to, and now it’s clogged, you need an expert to remove the blockage before foul odors form.
- Clogged toilets: These can cause a smelly and gross mess in your house – and can even cause water damage if enough water gets on your floor.
- Malfunctioning water heater: If you suddenly have no hot water due to a broken water heater, our experts should inspect your unit and perform hot water heater repairs. You should also schedule emergency services if your unit is leaking.
- Backed-up sewer system: Another major emergency is a backed-up sewer system. This is messy, smelly, and can cause health risks for your family. When this occurs, you need emergency help ASAP!
How To Clean Your Water Heater Tank
To keep your water heater working correctly, you need to clean the tank regularly or hire a professional to do it for you. If you are not regularly cleaning your hot water heater tank, you should start by scheduling plumbing maintenance services in Altamonte Springs, FL.
Our Mac 5 Services plumbers will:
- Remove the drain valve and insert a brush into the tank. Then, they will use the brush to scrape the bottom and sides of the tank.
- After removing the debris, they will place a bucket below the drain opening and wash the tank out with water to remove the debris you cleaned from the bottom and sides of the tank. They will keep the water running until the water that comes out is clean and clear.
When you need water heater maintenance tasks performed, our residential plumbing technicians provide complete electric water heater and gas water heater services. We also perform hot water tank replacements and leaking water heater repairs, instant hot water heater repairs, tankless water heater installations, and point of use water heater services.

How To Prevent Water Line Leaks
Avoid water damage and water line leak repairs by taking preventive steps. The plumbers at our water leak detection company recommend taking the following precautions:
- Insulate exposed pipes: This is especially important to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting on cold nights.
- Maintain water pressure: High water pressure can strain pipes and increase the risk of bursts. Consider installing a pressure regulator to maintain optimal water pressure.
- Address leaks promptly: Any leaks, no matter how small, should be repaired immediately to prevent further damage.
- Regularly inspect pipes: Periodically inspect your pipes for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Consider a professional inspection: Hire a plumber to inspect your plumbing system regularly, especially if your home is older or has a history of pipe problems.
- Be mindful of tree roots: Tree roots can grow into and damage pipes. Consider having a professional plumber inspect your pipes for root intrusion and take appropriate measures to prevent future damage
- 7. Avoid using excessive force on faucets or fixtures. This can strain the pipes and increase the risk of bursts.
By following these tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of water line leaks in your home. If you do need water leak repairs, call our experts at Mac 5 Services.
