Frequently asked questions
From water pressure solutions to sump pumps and gas line installations, we know plumbing systems can be complex. Here are answers to common questions about our specialized services—if you don’t see yours, call us at 503-741-7500, and we’ll be happy to help!
How do I know if my water main needs replacement?
If you notice frequent leaks, unexplained spikes in your water bill, reduced water pressure, or pooling water in your yard, your main water line may be failing. A professional inspection by On The Way Plumbing can determine whether repair or replacement is necessary.
How often should I service my sump pump?
Sump pumps should be inspected and tested at least once a year, ideally before the rainy season. Battery backup systems should also be checked to ensure they function during power outages. On The Way Plumbing offers annual sump pump service packages.
What are the signs that I need a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve)?
If your faucets spray forcefully, your pipes make loud banging noises (water hammer), or you frequently experience leaks, high water pressure could be the cause. A PRV can help regulate pressure and protect your plumbing system.
When should I replace my gas lines?
Gas lines can last for decades, but if you notice a rotten egg smell, hissing sounds, or unexplained increases in gas usage, you should have them inspected immediately. Corroded or outdated pipes should be replaced for safety.
Do automatic water shut-off valves really help prevent damage?
Yes! These devices detect leaks and shut off your main water supply before major flooding occurs. They provide an added layer of protection and may even qualify you for homeowners insurance discounts.
How often should I schedule a plumbing inspection?
If you own an older home, annual checkups may be beneficial to monitor aging pipes and fixtures.
Does On The Way Plumbing work with businesses for preventative maintenance?
Yes! We offer commercial plumbing maintenance plans to help businesses prevent unexpected failures, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency.
