I noticed the ceiling in my garage was leaking so I open the ceiling up and it was a pipe coming from my bathroom so this was 3:30 on a Saturday. I called CV plumbing and by 4:45 PM their technician Ali came and repaired the pipe. Then he left and I noticed the pipe was still leaking so I called him back he returned within an hour and a half and he fixed it. I do appreciate that you can call them on weekends and they will come and fix the problem. Plus Ali was so professional

I had a problem with my A/C over the weekend and called the after hours number. Their Technician, Ali, called to let me know he was finishing another service call and would let me know when he was on his way. He called me within 30 minutes after that, and even though it was after 8pm he came and was able to diagnose the problem. He didn't have the parts on his truck that evening so came back the next day to install the fan motor. Ali handled the job very professionally and was respectful in my home. I was very happy with the work he did and would use this company again.

Questions & Answers

What are the most common plumbing problems?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

The most common plumbing problems are clogged drains and toilets, leaky faucets and pipes, water heater issues, low water pressure, and a running toilet. While most of these can be solved in a DIY fashion, some more serious issues will require a licensed professional to come out and assess issues with your current plumbing system.

What uses the most water in my home?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

Toilets typically use the most water in the home, beating out showers, dishwashers, and sinks. This is because of the frequency toilets are often used. You can adjust the water level that the basin fills up to with a couple of quick adjustments. Also, there is the option to install a low-flush toilet, which uses less water.

How do I avoid frozen pipes?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

The best way to prevent your pipes from freezing is by insulating your pipes. If you are not able to insulate your pipes you can leave the water on a slow drip on very cold nights. The water constantly running will prevent your pipes from freezing.

What are the benefits of a tankless hot water heater?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

The biggest benefit of a tankless water heater is that they never run out of hot water. A storage tank hot water has a limited capacity (whatever the size of the tank), while a tankless can heat unlimited amounts as it passes through the system. Tankless water heaters can also save you money by only heating the water you use, not the amount of water that is sitting in the storage tank.

What are possible causes for a faucet to leak?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

The most common cause of faucet leaks is a corroded gasket, o-ring, or valve. This is often an easy fix. Most of the time, those parts can simply be replaced without replacing the whole faucet.

How do I get rid of standing water in my dishwasher?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

The most common reason for this is a clogged drain basket. Start by running your garbage disposal. From there clean your sink's air gap and remove standing water. A shop vacuum is recommended for this. Clean up any detergent that could have accumulated on sensors. Check the drain basket/ filter in the bottom of your dishwasher and clean it out thoroughly. At this point check the drain hose for kinks, as well as any possible clogs/ obstructions. If necessary replace the drain hose and if problems persist then contact a licensed professional.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

In short, no. Chemical drain cleaners can cause damage to pipes. The chemicals can cause degradation when used in old pipes repeatedly.

In addition to possible damage to your home's plumbing system, chemical drain cleaners are bad for the environment and septic systems.

Is an HVAC system with higher capacity better?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

In general, no. HVAC systems are the least efficient when first turning on. A system with too much capacity will run in numerous short cycles, turning on and off repeatedly, therefore causing it to be less efficient and increasing energy consumption. Another primary function of an air conditioner is to remove humidity from the air and running shorter cycles doesn’t remove humidity from the air very well.

As a consumer the most important tasks you can perform involve cleaning and replacement of your filters regularly. Also, shades, drapes, shutters, or screens can be installed on windows that are exposed to extreme sunlight to help reduce temperatures as well.

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022

HVAC systems use a metric called S.E.E.R. (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) when assessing efficiency. S.E.E.R. is the amount of cooling your system will deliver per dollar spent on electricity. For example, a 3-ton unit may have a S.E.E.R. efficiency rating of 13, 14, or 15. The higher the S.E.E.R., which ranges from 13 -17, the more efficient the system will be.

What size HVAC system should I have installed on my property?

How are the sizing capacities of heating and cooling systems measured?

CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
CV Plumbing Heating and Air | Apr 3, 2022
