  • Why is drain cleaning so important?

    Regular drain cleaning is necessary to maintain the longevity and functionality of your plumbing. Our drain cleaning experts will remove debris, buildup, and blockages from your drains and pipes to ensure proper water flow.

  • What causes clogged drains?

    Over time, toilets, sinks, and other drains can become clogged with grease, hair, soap residue, and other materials. These blockages can cause backups, slow draining, foul odors, and lead to extensive repairs. It’s best to contact Ballard Sewer & Drain Services when you first notice any signs of clogged drains.

  • What are the benefits of installing a tankless water heater?

    • Energy efficiency: Tankless water heaters only heat water as necessary, eliminating standby energy loss. This results in lower utility bills and notable energy savings.
    • Space-saving: Tankless water heaters are wall-mounted units that free up valuable space in your home or business.
    • Lifespan: Tankless water heaters have longer lifespans compared to more traditional water heaters
    • Endless hot water: Tankless water heaters provide you with a continuous hot water supply, ensuring comfort and convenience. No more cold showers or waiting for the tank to refill!
    • Cost: Although tankless water heaters have a higher cost upfront, they save you money in the long run due to increased energy efficiency and lower utility bills.
  • What are signs your water heater needs to be replaced?

    If your water heater is getting older and showing signs of failure, repeatedly requiring repairs can cost more than a new water heater. Some ways to help determine whether your water heater needs to be replaced include:

    • Changes in water pressure
    • Unit noises
    • Little or no hot water
    • Discolored water
    • Higher utility bills with no change in usage
    • Unusual smells.
    • Discolored water or water with a metallic smell
