Do Not Ignore Slow Drains

Drain habits matter in Kernersville, and if you have a heat pump water heater its condensate line belongs on the same list, since that small drain blocks like any other one.

Grease cools and hardens inside your pipes regardless of whether you run hot water with it. Over time it builds up and catches everything else that goes down. Use a container and throw it in the trash instead. This single habit prevents a significant percentage of kitchen drain calls we get in Kernersville.

Check Under Sinks Regularly

Under sink leaks in Kernersville start at the connection points, and around a heat pump heater check whether any water you find is condensate before assuming the tank has failed.
