  • How do I fix a dishwasher that won't drain?

  • How can I fix my garbage disposal?

    If your garbage disposal isn't working, you should turn off the power serving your disposal from your breaker box and disconnect the unit from the power source. Next, check the cavity for small objects or other obstacles. You should also check to see if the breaker is tripped. If it is, reconnect the unit and try running the disposal again. Most garbage disposals also have a small reset button on the bottom or side of the unit. If you think you need a plumber to handle the job, don't hesitate to give us a call.

  • Why is my faucet leaking?

    Faucets leak for many reasons. Corroded gasket seals, cartridges, and o-rings are the most common reasons.

You will want to fix this issue as soon as possible. Give us a call today to have an experienced plumber identify and resolve the issue.

  • What is the difference between a water heater and a tankless water heater?

    Although some people are perfectly fine with a traditional water heater, there are several benefits to using a tankless hot water heater. They never run out of hot water, and they could save you money! For more details, call us today to speak to a plumber about if a tankless water heater is right for you.

  • How can I prevent my pipes from freezing?

    Frozen water lines occur when the outside temperature drops below freezing and can cause serious issues and property damage if they burst. Frozen water lines can be prevented in several ways, such as keeping fixtures in your home dripping when the temperature drops below freezing. Keeping the water moving in your pipes is the best way to prevent water lines from freezing. Waterlines can also be insulated or have heat tape installed to help protect them from freezing or bursting. Each scenario is different for every home depending on your location and how much cold your pipes are exposed to. Call Holt Plumbing Company to take action and find a plumber before your pipes freeze.
