Frequent FAQS about Plumbing Services

If you’re curious to learn more about plumbing services in Fremont, CA, read this list of answers we’ve put together to commonly asked questions.

Why call a professional for drain cleaning?

When you enlist the help of a professional plumber for clogged drain cleaning, you can be sure that the entire clog is removed effectively. If you try to remove the clog on your own using chemical drain cleaners or attempting the use of a drain snake without training, you may only end up treating the symptoms while the clog stays in place and becomes worse over time. Especially if you have more than one clogged drain, you should contact us at LJ Kruse.

What types of water heater installation and repair do you perform?

There are two main types of water heaters: those with tanks and those that are tankless. We specialize in both traditional tank and tankless water heater installation, replacement, and repair:

Traditional Water Heaters with Tanks: Many people prefer this type of water heater because it has a lower installation cost. The downsides are that the tank takes up a large amount of space and sometimes you can run out of hot water.
Tankless Water Heaters: Growing in popularity due to their lifespan of up to 20 years, tankless water heaters take up less space. They are mounted on a wall and heat your water exactly when you need it, so you’ll always have hot water available. It’s important to note, however, that they cost more to install and repair and are less suited for large homes.

How can I tell if I need leak detection?

There are different signs that indicate you have a gas leak versus a water leak. For a gas leak, you may hear hissing sounds or smell the gas in your home. When it comes to water leaks, your floors may be wet, water stains may appear on your ceiling, or you may notice growth of mold or mildew throughout your home. In any of these cases, contact LJ Kruse for leak detection and location services.

How is sewer line repair or replacement performed?

There are two main ways that sewer line replacement and repair can be done:

Using Trenches: This method involves digging trenches into your property’s ground to directly access your sewer line, allowing us to either replace or fix it. While it can be disruptive to your landscape, sometimes it’s the best or only option.
Trenchless: The preferred option when possible is the trenchless method. We’ll dig smaller holes and send down a camera to inspect and find the damaged area of your sewer line. Then, we’ll deploy specialized tools and resin to perform a replacement or repair.

What are the benefits of plumbing repiping?

Repiping involves replacing the pipes in your plumbing system and can be beneficial to your home in a number of ways.

First, getting repiping can help you avoid water damage. While you may think a small leak is no big deal, they can spiral into larger leaks or burst pipes that cause major water damage to your property. If you invest in new pipes, you’re less likely to deal with leaks.

Second, you will be sure that the materials in your new pipes are up to current standards. Older pipes can be made of lead, galvanized steel, or polybutylene, any of which are no longer considered safe to use. Our team uses PEX or copper, which will last longer and work better.

Lastly, you’ll end up saving money on repairs. While the investment upfront for repiping may seem daunting, you will have to worry less about any problems with your pipes for a good while.

Do you handle water line services?

Yes, our team can perform water line installation if you don’t currently have a water line or we can perform water line repair if you have a water line that has broken.

Do you perform emergency plumbing services?

Yes, if you have an emergency you can give us a call. We’ll respond to you promptly to fix your urgent plumbing problem as part of our emergency plumbing service.
