A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a degraded rubber flapper valve inside the tank that isn't closing tightly, a misaligned chain, or an improperly balanced float mechanism. This wastes hundreds of gallons of water a day and spikes your Clovis utility bill. If adjusting the chain or cleaning the flapper doesn't solve it, our local plumbers can swap it out in a quick, affordable visit.

We strongly advise against using liquid chemical cleaners. These products contain harsh, corrosive acids that generate intense heat to dissolve organic debris. Over time, this chemical reaction weakens, cracks, or warps PVC and older copper plumbing lines alike. For recurring or stubborn blockages in the Clovis area, a professional drain snake or hydro-jetting service safely removes the obstruction without degrading your pipe infrastructure.

If you completely lose hot water, the primary culprits are a tripped circuit breaker (for electric models), a blown pilot light or failed thermocouple (for gas units), or severe hard-water sediment buildup encrusting the bottom heating element. Routine annual flushing helps protect your system from the local mineral deposits common to the region. Our technicians quickly diagnose whether a single component needs replacement or if it's time for a system upgrade.

Kitchen drains typically clog due to the gradual buildup of cooking grease, oils, and food particles that solidify on the inside of the pipe walls. In the bathroom, clogs are almost always caused by hair binding with soap scum just past the P-trap.

Pro Tip: Avoid chemical drain cleaners, as they can corrode your pipes over time. A professional drain cabling or hydro-jetting service provides a safer, long-lasting solution.

Your garbage disposal is not a trash can. To avoid stubborn kitchen clogs and motor damage, never put down:

** Fibrous foods (celery, corn husks, onion skins)

** Starchy items that expand (pasta, rice, potato peels)

** Coffee grounds and eggshells (they create a thick, concrete-like paste in your pipes)

** Cooking grease, fats, or oils
