​How do I unclog a sink?

​To unclog a sink, start by removing any visible debris from the drain. Next, try using a plunger to dislodge the clog. If that doesn't work, you can use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, followed by boiling water, to break down the blockage. If the clog persists, it's time to call a plumber who can use specialized tools to clear it safely. Contact Plumbers of Hollywood to help you out.

How do i unclog a toilet?

​To unclog a toilet, use a plunger to create a strong suction seal over the drain and push and pull vigorously. If that doesn’t work, try using a toilet auger (also known as a plumber's snake) to reach and break up the clog. If the toilet remains clogged, call us to avoid damaging your plumbing system.

What is pipe lining?

​Pipe lining is a modern method used to repair damaged pipes without the need for extensive digging. This technique involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated tube into the damaged pipe, which hardens to create a new, durable lining inside the existing pipe. Pipe lining is a great choice for extending the life of your pipes and avoiding costly and disruptive excavation work. Our plumbers with experience in pipe lining can evaluate your pipes and recommend this solution if it's suitable.

Consulting with our Hollywood Plumbers will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific situation.

What are signs of a water leak?

Signs of a water leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when no taps are on, and musty odors.

how do i find a water leak?

​To find a water leak, check areas where water pipes run, such as under sinks, around appliances, and in your basement or crawl spaces. Look for signs of moisture, such as wet spots or mold. You can also check your water meter; if it’s running even when all water is turned off, you likely have a leak. If you suspect a leak but can't find it, hiring a plumber or contacting a water damage restoration company is essential to locate and fix the issue before it worsens. For those in the area, water damage restoration Miami services can provide expert help in finding and fixing leaks. Plumbers of Hollywood can help you with anything leak or water related.

why did my garbage disposal stop working?

​A garbage disposal might stop working due to a jam, an overloaded motor, or a tripped circuit breaker. First, check if the unit is getting power. If it isn’t, reset the disposal using the reset button on the bottom of the unit. If it still doesn’t work, there could be a jam inside the disposal. Use a hex key to manually turn the blades and clear the jam. If these steps don't resolve the issue, one of our Hollywood plumbers can diagnose and repair the problem to get your disposal working again.

what is a camera inspection?

This helps in identifying blockages, leaks, or damage without the need for invasive digging or demolition. At Plumbers of Hollywood, we offer free camera inspections to give you a clear view of your plumbing issues and recommend the best solutions.
