Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing

We never close! We’re a 24 hour emergency plumbing company, so we’re on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No matter when you call us, we’re there for you. Plumbing emergencies don’t sleep, so neither do we!

That’s unfortunate. There are many great plumbers here in Center City as well as the rest of Philly, but a few terrible ones too.

But no matter who bungled up your plumbing, count on us to fix it.

No we don’t, and we’re not the ones you want to call to do this sort of work anyway. That takes more knowledge of electronics than we have.

If you need a new water line to fridge or to another appliance, we’ve got you covered. But if it’s the appliance itself that broke down, call the manufacturer to see if it’s under warranty. If it isn’t, they might be able to point you in the direction of a good repair company.

I mean it depends. If you just use them once in a while it’s not so bad. If you’ve got a clogged drain, feel free to give it a shot. But if it doesn’t clear, or it does clear but it clogs right back up, don’t keep dumping that stuff down. Chemical drain cleaners aren’t good for your pipes, and they’re not good for the environment either.

Call Center City Plumbing instead – we’ll bring our video camera drain inspection equipment to find out what’s clogging your drain, then we’ll get to work with clogged drain repair services.

There’s probably something blocking it, that’s all. What’s blocking it is a different story. Most common is hair, food gunk, and hardened oil, but it could also be your kid’s action figures or some more embarrassing stuff you tried to flush.

Whatever it is, give Center City Plumbing a call – our drain cleaning services will get you flowing clean and clear once more.

That’s probably sewer gas. Gnarly stuff. It’s usually because there’s something wrong with the P-trap along your pipe. That’s a p shaped part of pipe.

When there’s water sitting in the p-trap, it blocks the smelly sewer gas from coming through your drain. And if there’s either no p-trap, or it’s not set up properly, it can be real stinky.

In some instances, it can be caused by your garbage disposal plumbing having debris lodged in it still.

Give Center City Plumbing a call – we can provide drain trap installation and smelly drain repair services.

Turn off your taps then! If that stops the leaking, give us a call. And if it doesn’t stop the leaking, turn off your main water supply and then give us a call.

Water leaking through your ceiling is nasty business and can cause a lot of problems, so if you’ve got an issue call us right away, to fix your plumbing leak.

If it’s just the shower that has the problem, it’s probably your showerhead. Fill a little container with vinegar and submerge your showerhead in it for a few minutes. Then, try again. Most of the time, that’ll fix the problem. If it doesn’t, unscrew the showerhead and give it a deeper clean with some CLR.

If there’s still an issue, give us a call – we’re experts in bathroom plumbing repair.

Yes, and you’d better call us soon to fix it too. It’s a real simple fix right now, but if you leave it your toilet will start leaking which can cause much bigger problems. Rocking toilet plumbing repair services is easy, but leaking toilet plumbing repair services is much heavier.

Yes, absolutely. We can help you choose the right water heater for your needs, whether it’s gas or electric, residential or commercial. Please visit our hot water heater plumbing services page for more info.
