Plumbing FAQ

  • Why is my faucet dripping?

    A dripping faucet is commonly caused by a worn-out washer, O-ring, or cartridge inside the faucet. Over time, these components break down, causing water to leak. If you're in New Jersey, our plumbing experts at Izzy's Plumbing & Heating can quickly replace these parts to stop the leak and save you on your water bill.

  • What should I do if my drain is clogged?

    If your drain is clogged, first try using a plunger or a drain snake. If that doesn't work, avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners. These can damage your pipes over time. Izzy’s Plumbing & Heating provides expert drain cleaning services throughout New Jersey. If the clog persists, we can help with professional hydro jetting to clear your pipes.

  • Why is my water pressure low?

    Low water pressure in your home can be caused by a clogged pipe, a broken pressure regulator, or leaks in your plumbing system. If you're experiencing water pressure issues in Middlesex, NJ, or nearby areas, our team at Izzy's Plumbing & Heating can inspect and fix your system to restore proper flow.

  • How can I prevent frozen pipes in winter?

    To avoid frozen pipes during the cold New Jersey winters, insulate exposed pipes, especially in basements or attics. Let faucets drip slightly during extremely cold weather to keep water moving. If you’re in New Jersey, our experts at Izzy's Plumbing & Heating can inspect your plumbing to prevent winter damage and ensure your pipes stay safe.

  • What are the signs I need a new water heater?

    If your water heater is over 10 years old, produces rusty water, makes loud noises, or doesn’t heat water properly, it might be time for a replacement. At Izzy’s Plumbing & Heating, we offer expert water heater repair and replacement services in New Jersey, including tankless options that save on energy costs.

  • What should I do in a plumbing emergency?

    In a plumbing emergency, such as a burst pipe or major leak, it’s important to act fast:

    1. Shut off the main water valve to stop further flooding.

    2. Turn off electrical appliances near water if it's safe.
