Plumbing questions, answered for Mehlville

Mehlville sits in Missouri's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That's hard on a home's plumbing: high year-round humidity that sweats and corrodes copper pipe and summer heat and moisture that strain water heaters all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are high water pressure straining aging fittings and slow drains and clogs from saturated soil and roots. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Mehlville is high water pressure straining aging fittings. Local housing is predominantly single-family homes with their own water heater and service line, plus a core of older in-town residences, so slow drains and clogs from saturated soil and roots turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
