3 Signs Your Water Line Needs Help

Schedule Now

Does your main water line need plumbing services in Cincinnati now or in the near future? Water supply lines in your home carry water under municipal pressure averaging around 50 pounds per square inch, 7 Days a week/365. Depending on the age of the house, these pipes may be made of galvanized steel or some other material with a very finite lifespan. Once enough years have elapsed, problems begin to manifest—ranging from minor annoyances to major damage. Here are some signs that your pipes may need professional help from plumbing services in Cincinnati:

Low Water Pressure

If the faucets in your home no longer deliver a surging flow, if the shower doesn’t rinse well and toilet tanks are slow to refill, your household water pressure may be dropping. Mineral deposits slowly accumulating inside aging pipes strangle the flow. This problem always gets steadily worse as high mineral content in municipal water supplies is an ongoing fact of life in many communities. The definitive solution is replacing outdated steel water supply lines with more long-lasting copper or PEX that resist mineral accumulation much longer.

Changes In Appearance

If your household water supply isn’t as clean and sparkling as it used to be, the problem may be inside your water supply lines. Corrosion inside pipes can discolor water with a rusty tinge that usually doesn’t pose any health concern but definitely makes a glass or bathtub full appear less aesthetic. Re-piping with new corrosion resistant materials like copper is the only way to resolve the problem.

Signs Of Leakage

From tiny pinholes to oozing joints, any leaks should be considered a red flag of a pipe rupture waiting to happen. Potentially hundreds of gallons of water under municipal pressure could potentially swamp your home and inflict expensive water damage. Rusting and corrosion hidden inside the pipes steadily worsens, often with few or only minor external signs. Inspection by a professional and, if needed, replacement of supply pipes before a damaging rupture occurs is the recommended course.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
