Do you offer emergency plumbing services?
Yes. Plumbing emergencies don’t follow a schedule. Our team is available for urgent issues such as burst pipes, sewer line stoppages, overflowing toilets, and water heater failures.
How do I know if I need professional drain cleaning?
Slow drains, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, or foul odors are signs you may need professional drain cleaning. Ignoring these issues can lead to more serious sewer line repairs later.
What causes sewer line stoppages?
Sewer line stoppages are commonly caused by tree roots, grease buildup, debris, collapsed pipes, or flushing non-flushable items. We use professional equipment to diagnose and fix sewer problems efficiently.
Do you handle sewer line repairs and replacements?
Yes. We specialize in sewer line repairs and replacements, including diagnosing underground issues and restoring proper flow with minimal disruption to your property whenever possible.
When should I consider water heater replacement?
If your water heater is over 10–12 years old, leaking, producing rusty water, or failing to provide consistent hot water, it may be time for a water heater replacement.
Do you install tankless water heaters?
Absolutely. We offer tankless water heater installation and maintenance. Tankless systems provide energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and on-demand hot water for your home.
What are the benefits of a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters save space, reduce energy costs, and provide endless hot water. They’re an excellent option for homeowners upgrading from traditional water heaters.
Can you help with clogged toilet repair?
Yes. From simple clogs to more complex issues, we provide fast and effective clogged toilet repair to restore proper function and prevent future problems.
How do I know if my sewer line needs repair?
Common signs include frequent backups, slow drains throughout the home, foul odors, or wet patches in your yard. If you notice these issues, a professional sewer line inspection is recommended.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Tool City Plumbing is a licensed and insured local plumbing company, and our experienced plumbers follow all safety and industry standards.
