Have a plumbing-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • How do I shut off my hot water heater if it's leaking?

    There is a wheel or lever on top of your water heater that can be turned clockwise until it shuts off. Did you know that, according to the EPA, 10% of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day? If this sounds like you, get in touch with our plumbing contractor in Des Plaines, IL today!

  • What do I do during a freeze-and-break situation when everything is leaking?

    Go to your water meter and turn the wheel or lever. You can then turn on the faucets at the lowest level of the home so the water can drain. When you need plumbing services in Des Plaines, IL, we would be more than happy to help you with this!

  • How do I turn off the water in my house?

    You start by turning the water off at the meter! Next, you can go to the lowest level in your house and turn the faucet on so it can drain the water from your pipes. Get in contact with us today for a plumbing contractor Des Plaines, IL can rely on.

  • Why does my drain get clogged?

    We often see several common reasons why you might have a clogged drain. Typically, the pipes down the line have corrosion and catch garbage. This causes a blockage, leading to clogged drains. Our plumbing services in Des Plaines, IL can help! Call the team at Alan Tinker Plumbing & Rodding today.

  • Why do I run out of hot water so quickly?

    Your water heater is either undersized or a component has broken down and only part of the water heater is being used. Regardless of the issue, we are here to help as a reliable plumbing contractor in Des Plaines, IL.

  • Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

    We do not recommend this. Chemicals can melt the gaskets and cause your pipes to be poisonous to work on. If you have more questions about this, don't hesitate to contact us for reliable and safe plumbing services in Des Plaines, IL.

  • What happens if you think you have a gas leak?

    Call your gas company before calling a plumbing contractor in Des Plaines, IL. They will come to inspect your property and see where the gas leak is coming from to ensure your safety.
