Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does hydro jetting work for clogged drains?

    Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water streams to blast through stubborn clogs and clean pipe walls, removing grease, roots, and debris. It's more thorough than traditional snaking and helps prevent future blockages. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we use advanced hydro jetting technology for both residential and commercial drain cleaning.
  • When should you replace a water heater instead of repairing it?

    Most water heaters should be replaced if they're over 10-12 years old, need frequent repairs, or show signs of rust and leaking. Replacing with an energy-efficient model often saves money on utility bills. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we help San Angelo homeowners choose the right water heater based on household needs and budget.
  • What's the difference between slab leak detection and regular leak detection?

    Slab leak detection requires specialized equipment to locate leaks hidden beneath concrete foundations without breaking up the entire floor. Regular leak detection addresses visible or accessible pipes. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we use modern equipment to find hidden leaks in slabs, walls, and underground pipes with minimal disruption.
  • Why do gas lines need professional inspections?

    Gas line inspections identify leaks, corrosion, and pressure issues that can cause explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. Professional technicians use specialized tools to detect problems invisible to the naked eye. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we provide emergency gas line services to ensure safety for San Angelo residential and commercial properties.
  • How often should irrigation systems be serviced in Texas?

    Irrigation systems in Texas should be serviced at least twice yearly—once before spring watering season and again before winterization. Regular maintenance prevents water waste, identifies broken heads, and ensures efficient operation. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we provide irrigation installations, repairs, and seasonal maintenance throughout the San Angelo area.
  • What causes low water pressure in residential plumbing?

    Low water pressure usually stems from mineral buildup in pipes, hidden leaks, corroded plumbing, or faulty pressure regulators. Sometimes the issue is localized to one fixture, while other times it affects the entire house. Professional leak detection and pipe inspection can pinpoint the exact cause and determine whether repair or replacement is needed.
  • Can water filtration systems improve water heater efficiency?

    Yes, water filtration systems remove minerals and sediment that cause buildup inside water heaters, improving heat transfer and extending equipment lifespan. Clean water reduces maintenance needs and energy costs. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we install filtration systems alongside water heaters to provide energy-efficient hot water and clean drinking water solutions.
  • What plumbing should be upgraded during a remodel?

    Remodels are ideal for replacing old galvanized pipes, upgrading fixtures, relocating plumbing for new layouts, and installing water-efficient toilets and faucets. It's easier and more cost-effective to access pipes during construction. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we handle expert plumbing installations for new builds and remodeling projects with reliable installations.
  • What's the biggest mistake homeowners make with emergency plumbing?

    The biggest mistake is ignoring early warning signs like slow drains, water stains, or unusual sounds until a pipe bursts or severe leak occurs. Addressing minor issues early prevents costly emergency repairs. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services for urgent issues throughout San Angelo and surrounding areas.
  • How does San Angelo's hard water affect plumbing systems?

    San Angelo's hard water contains high mineral content that builds up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Over time, this causes clogs, corrosion, and increased energy costs. Installing a water filtration system helps protect plumbing and appliances while improving water quality for drinking and bathing.
  • What's included in a commercial plumbing maintenance contract?

    Commercial plumbing maintenance contracts typically include scheduled inspections, drain cleaning, fixture checks, water heater servicing, and priority emergency response. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected downtime and costly repairs. At Rock'n G Plumbing, we offer comprehensive plumbing solutions for commercial properties including maintenance contracts and system installations.
  • When is trenchless pipe repair a better option?

    Trenchless pipe repair works best when pipes are damaged but not completely collapsed, avoiding landscape destruction and reducing labor costs. It's ideal for sewer lines under driveways, landscaping, or structures. Traditional excavation is necessary for severely damaged pipes or when installing entirely new lines in new construction projects.
