If you’ve got plumbing questions, we’ve got answers. At H3 Plumbing & Drains, we understand that homeowners and business owners alike want fast, clear, and accurate information when it comes to plumbing problems and solutions. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions we hear, and how our professional plumbing services can help.
What does a professional plumber do?
A professional plumber is trained and licensed to install, maintain and repair plumbing systems in homes and commercial buildings. Whether unclogging drains or installing new water lines, a plumber does every job related to the water or waste system. At H3 Plumbing & Drains, our team is experienced in both residential and commercial plumbing, keeping your plumbing system working efficiently and safely, all the time.
What are the signs I need plumbing repairs?
Some of the most common signs include:
- Slow draining sinks or tubs
- Gurgling sounds from toilets
- Low water pressure
- Unexpectedly high water bills
- Visible water damage or mold
- Water heater not producing hot water
If you notice any of these problems, schedule service with our team immediately.
We offer services like full-service plumbing inspections, leak detection and drain cleaning so that problems can be quickly identified and fixed.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of doing it myself?
DIY can be inexpensive, but if done wrong, it can cause major damage. Licensed plumbers have proper training, the correct tools, and a solid knowledge of plumbing codes. At H3 Plumbing & Drains, we back our work with a guarantee and provide long-term solutions, not just temporary fixes.
Do you offer commercial plumbing services?
Yes, we specialize in both residential and commercial types of plumbing services. Commercial plumbing projects can be a little complex, but our trained technicians are ready to handle every situation—whether it’s a burst pipe in a restaurant or hydro jetting in a multi-story office building. If your business’s plumbing system is giving you trouble, call us right away—we will get your job back up and running quickly.
What is hydro jetting and when do I need it?
Hydro jetting is a high-pressure cleaning method used to remove tough blockages in drain lines. This method is especially effective for grease buildup, tree roots, and other debris that will not be removed with normal cleaning. If your toilets are gurgling or your drains are slow, our hydro jetting service may be the perfect solution—to restore flow quickly and safely.
How often should I schedule plumbing inspections?
We recommend annual plumbing inspections to catch potential issues early. Inspections help identify small leaks, corrosion, root intrusion, and clogs before they escalate. H3 Plumbing & Drains uses advanced tools like sewer cameras and pressure gauges to provide a thorough assessment of your plumbing system’s health.
What plumbing services do you provide for bathrooms?
Bathrooms are one of the most common areas in the home for plumbing issues. We handle everything from:
- Shower and tub installation
- Toilet repairs and replacements
- Leak detection behind walls
- Drain cleaning and clog removal
- Faucet and fixture upgrades
If you’re planning a remodel, our team can even assist with plumbing layout redesigns and fixture relocations.
What should I do if I notice water leaking from a pipe?
If you see water pooling around your pipes or hear a dripping sound, turn off your water main immediately and contact a residential plumber from H3 Plumbing & Drains. Water leaks can escalate quickly, leading to structural damage or mold growth. Our leak detection services allow us to locate the problem fast and offer reliable, lasting repairs.
Are your plumbing services available during emergencies?
Yes. Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s a burst pipe, sewage backup, or broken water heater, our emergency response team is ready to help 24/7. Our vehicles are fully stocked so we can resolve most issues during the initial visit.
Do you offer plumbing services for new home builds or renovations?
Absolutely. Whether you’re building a new property or remodeling an existing one, our professional plumbers work closely with contractors and homeowners to ensure all plumbing is installed to code and on schedule. We handle water line installations, fixture hookups, and plumbing configuration for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
What’s the difference between a residential and commercial plumber?
While both types of plumbers are trained in core plumbing practices, a commercial plumber typically deals with more complex systems found in businesses, such as large water heaters, multiple-story drainage systems, and industrial-grade fixtures. At H3 Plumbing & Drains, our technicians are skilled in both residential and commercial plumbing applications.

This technology allows us to work faster, safer, and more accurately than outdated methods.
Can plumbing problems affect my water bill?
Absolutely. Even minor leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year, significantly impacting your bill. Regular inspections and timely repairs from H3 Plumbing & Drains help you maintain efficient water use and avoid financial surprises.
What’s the best way to maintain my plumbing system?
