WHAT TO EXPECT

When should I test for backflow?

In general, it is best to have your system tested for problems with backflow at least once each year. You should also test for backflow if you notice any of the following issues:

• Any other problems with your existing backflow prevention system

Why Do Water Heaters Need to Be Replaced?

Water heaters have average life spans of 10 to 15 years. Well-maintained water heaters, especially tankless water heaters, can last even longer. Common causes of water heater problems include: sediment buildup (which can be reduced with routine water heater flushing), improperly sized water heaters, defective heating elements, damaged pilot lights, poor installation (fortunately, Dependable Service Plumbing offers expert installation services, too), and deteriorated anode rods.

Types of Electric Water Heaters

Several styles of electric water heaters are available:

• Storage Tank Water Heaters: This is the most common type of water heater. Water is stored in a tank and kept at a constant temperature so hot water is ready when you need it. These water heaters come in a variety of sizes and heat water at different rates, called a first hour rating (FHR). This is the measurement of how much hot water a heater can deliver during a busy hour in your household. That includes not only the water that’s already stored in the tank, but also how quickly the tank can recover and continue to provide hot water once the reserve has been used.
• Tankless or On-Demand Water Heaters: These are water heaters that heat water as there is a demand for it. There are two types of on-demand water heaters. One is small enough to fit in a tight space, and is designed to augment existing water heating capabilities. The other is wall-mounted unit and is designed to heat water for a whole house. These units can provide long term savings since there is no need to hold water at a regulated temperature all the time.
• Heat Pump Water Heaters: This type of water heater moves heat from one place, to another to heat it. These units are inefficient for homes that are in cooler climates, or homes where the unit is placed in a cold area.
• Tankless Coil and Indirect Water Heaters: A coil or indirect system uses heat from the boiler of a space heating system to heat water. They are more efficient in cooler climates or during colder months when the home heating system is in use.

If you’re considering a new water heater, give Dependable Service a call. One of our certified technicians can review your needs and discuss the best and most efficient electric water heater options for your Myrtle Beach home or business.

Common Disposal Problems

Putting too much food into the disposal at one time can cause it to overheat. Most disposals have a fail-safe switch. When it overheats, the switch will cut the disposal off.

Even if you use your disposal properly, over time, you can begin to experience these common problems:

• Jamming or clogging caused by dull blades.
• The disposal runs slowly or won’t run at all. The most likely cause of this is either a jam from too much food, or the motor could be wearing out.
• Loud noises, a constant humming, or no noise at all could indicate there are problems with the motor as well.
• Rotten food odors indicate that food is not being cleared from the drain because the disposal is inefficient.
• Water accumulating under the sink from a leak in the hoses, a faulty seal, or a crack in the housing.

If you experience any of these problems, then it’s time to consider whether to repair or replace the disposal. Once a disposal has been in use for about 8 years, problems can begin to occur and replacing the unit might be less expensive than repairing it repeatedly.  Newer units may need a simple repair, such as replacing a hose or a seal.

When in doubt, contact Dependable Service of Myrtle Beach. One of our licensed technicians can inspect your garbage disposal and recommend the most cost effective method for repair or replacement.

Appliances Requiring Gas Service

Gas stoves, ovens, and dryers need consistent maintenance and inspections to ensure they are operating safely. If you have a gas furnace or water heater, you also need to have these appliances inspected on an annual basis. Dependable Service can do that for you. We recommend calling us if:

• You need an annual inspection of any appliance's gas line (or your main gas lines). 
• You notice any damage to the exterior of the gas line. 
• You need a new line installed for a new appliance. 
• The gas line is no longer secure. 
• You are moving an appliance and need a new gas line run. 

Don't try to do it yourself. Let our team handle your gas line needs for you.

How to Know If You Have a Gas Leak

Could you have a leak?

• Do you have a rotten egg-like smell in your home? 
• Is there a hissing or blowing sound near your gas lines? 
• Do you smell gas? 

If so, get out of your home or business, and call us immediately for help. Dependable Service offers 24-hour, emergency help. Call 843-353-0461 for immediate help.

Ways to Detect Gas Leaks

There are a variety of ways to detect gas leaks, including:

• The Smell Test: Natural gas is colorless and odorless. The reason you may be able to smell a gas leak is because a chemical called mercaptan is added to give it a noticeable odor. Most people think it smells like rotten eggs.  If you smell rotten eggs you may have a gas leak that needs immediate attention.
• The Sight Test: An appliance that’s working properly should have a crisp, blue flame. If you see a yellow or orange flame you might have a gas leak. Additional signs of gas leaks are soot or scorched areas on the backside of appliance, pilot lights that won’t stay lit, or an excessive amount of condensation on windows.

Not all gas leaks are obvious. Two more ways check for these leaks are using an electronic gas detector or the bubble test. Gas detector can be expensive and may require some special knowledge to use them. The bubble test is performed by adding liquid soap to water then rubbing the solution onto gas fittings and lines. Leaks will cause the liquid to bubble.

Gas Line Repair Solutions

If you smell gas, get out and contact the fire department immediately.  This is a hazard with which you do not want to mess around.  If there is a gas leak, you will most definitely need a gas line repair.  In addition to leaks, other causes of gas line problems may include clogged, loose, or otherwise damaged gas lines.  Our experts are sure to prioritize gas line related problems in a timely manner.

Gas Line Installation Solutions

Residential and commercial gas line installation demands a licensed and experienced technician.  We will help ease your concerns by facilitating the following:

• City and county permit process
• Formal inspection procedure
• Testing safe and efficient functionality of all gas line connections

Benefits of Working with Dependable Service

Dependable Service is fully licensed and insured to meet all of your gas line repair and installation needs in Myrtle Beach, Conway, Pawleys Island and surrounding areas.  We provide free estimates and are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Things to Consider

If your home already has a buried gas tank, there are a few things you should consider. First, unlike newer tanks, tanks that were used up until the mid-80s were not coated. If you have one of these bare steel tanks, corrosion could be a problem, which allows gas to leak into the environment. This can create hazardous fire and explosion risks and could also contaminate ground water. Home owners with older tanks need to have the tank inspected, and if necessary removed and replaced. Failure to do so could result in fines and remediation levied by the Environmental Protection Agency to restore the health of the ground surrounding the tank.

Other problems, like poor maintenance and improper usage, could lead to leaks in USTs, so if you have not had your existing underground tank inspected, we recommend that you do that immediately.

If you have questions or concerns about your existing tank, of if you are considering a new gas tank burial, give us a call. Once of our certified technicians can perform an inspection and make recommendations for the most efficient gas tank burial options for your Myrtle Beach home or business.

Which Gas Water Heater is Right for You?

Storage Tank Heaters: This is the most common style of water heater. It’s a standard cylinder that stores water which is maintained at a constant temperature. These come in different sizes, and heating capacities. One of our certified technicians can explain how to decide what size is right for your household size and water usage. There are also three types of storage tank heaters:

• Atmospherically Vented: These heaters must have a vent, or flu, that leads outside to release the byproducts of the gas used to heat the water.
• Power Vented or Sealed Combustion: These heaters have self-contained units that manage the byproducts of the gas used to heat the water.
• Condensing Tanks: A condensing tank uses a coil system, much like a refrigerator, to manage the byproducts of the gas used to heat the water.

Tankless Heaters: Tankless heaters, also called demand heating systems, are smaller units that heat water very quickly, as it is needed so there is no need for a storage tank. Gas is the best option for tankless systems because it’s more efficient for heating water quickly. These systems offer long-term savings because there is no need to maintain a reserve of constantly heated water.

Combination Space and Water Heaters: These are whole-home systems that use heated water to help warm living spaces. Choosing this type of system could replace your furnace as well as your water heater, and will require a considerable upfront investment. However, combination systems are not well-suited to all locations.

Because hotels and restaurants don’t exactly keep banker’s hours, we understand that emergencies happen at all hours of the day and night. Dependable Service Plumbing offers 24-hour emergency service so that you and your guests can rest easy knowing that the problem will be taken care of immediately rather than waiting until the next business day.

Scheduled and Preventative Maintenance

Additionally, Dependable Service Plumbing offers preventative maintenance services to help you identify signs of problems before they become big problems for your hotel or restaurant. This helps to make repairs before they become emergencies that have the potential to cause thousands of dollars in water damage in only a matter of minutes. Of course, we believe in rewarding our loyal maintenance customers with benefits like:

• Discounted repair rates.
• No additional charge for off-hour services (nights and weekends).
• Priority customer service – your emergencies are moved to the top of the list.

Of course, the biggest benefit of routine preventative maintenance is the fact that you’re extending the life of your plumbing equipment and lines, which saves your hotel and restaurant a lot of money over the years.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Water Heater

The most common reasons to replace your existing water heater instead of repairing your current system include:

• It’s significantly past its life expectancy. The typical life span for a water heater ranges, but it’s generally 10 to 15 years. Anything beyond this and it may no longer be efficient. More modern units have warranties as long as 20 years.
• It’s leaking. Leaks are difficult to repair well enough to keep them at bay. Any leak around the base of the tank often indicates a need to replace the system rather than repair it.
• A non-working system, such as one that does not turn on even when gas or electricity is supplied, could require replacement.
• The system works erratically and unreliably. This can be difficult to repair as well.
• You’re spending too much to heat water. Systems beyond 10 years old can be replaced to gain better efficiency overall, even if they are still working.

We make it easy for you to get rid of your old water heater and to install a new one that meets your needs.

What Causes Drain Clogs?

Disposing of anything other than water, soap and natural material can lead to a nasty clog. A few of the more common culprits include:

• Grease
• Dairy
• Toys
• Sanitary items
• Stringy foods
• Excessive paper products
• Medication

Generally speaking, if you are not sure if it should go down the sink, it probably shouldn’t. Anything that isn’t natural organic waste or that does not immediately disintegrate in water does not belong in a toilet or garbage disposal.

Why Maintain Catch Basins and Storm Drains

Most home or business owners can probably maintain catch basins and storm drains without the help of a professional—but they must be regularly maintained.  If the clogging becomes frequent, it could be a sign of a larger plumbing problem. If you suspect greater issues contact Dependable Service Plumbing or schedule regular maintenance.

Working with a professional plumber to maintain commercial and residential catch basins and storm drains will help to avoid:

• Frequent flooding or flooding every time it rains
• Ruined landscape especially near the catch basin

• Trash and debris in the yard
• Damaged sidewalk or driveway due to water erosion

Avoid flooding by working with the licensed professionals at Dependable Service Plumbing to maintain your Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, and Conway catch basins and storm drains. Contact us today to schedule an appointment.

Ejector Pump Solutions

Ejector pumps are used on property’s in which the bathroom is located below the water main line. Ejector pumps work to lift the water up and out of the home until gravity takes over. Common ejector pump problems include:

• Improper toilet usage—items other than organic waste were flushed
• Faulty alarms
• Incorrect sizing
• Age and poor maintenance efforts

At Dependable Service Plumbing we only service your home or business with the latest in industry-leading technology and equipment.  We have years of experience repairing, installing, and providing sump pump and ejector pump solutions.

Dependable Service Plumbing can work to ensure your sump pump or ejector pump is in proper working order.

Tankless Water Heater Benefits

Our licensed plumbing team strongly recommends tankless water heater solutions for both commercial and residential spaces because there are so many benefits to upgrading to one. Here is a list of a few of them:

• Energy efficiency: Unlike conventional tanks that are always heating water, tankless heaters only heat on-demand thus saving energy in the process.
• Lower monthly utility bills: Tankless water heaters do tend to cost more than conventional tanks at installation, but thanks to their energy efficient nature, they typically yield lower monthly utility bills.
• Endless supply of hot water: Point-of-use tankless water heaters will eventually run out of hot water, but whole-home tankless heaters can be counted on for never having a cold shower again.
• Space saving: Tankless water heaters are small and may be placed in utility closets, attics, basement, or crawlspaces.  They may be hung from walls or even placed outside.
• Longevity: Properly maintained tankless water heaters typically last between 6 and 10 years.  Most conventional tanks last about 10 to 15 years.

Contact Dependable Service to learn more about the differences between tankless and conventional water heaters, and what might be best for your Myrtle Beach home or business. We are always happy to guide you in the right direction based on your own specific needs.

Repair or Replace Your Toilet?

As a general rule of thumb, the average life expectancy of a toilet is about 10 -15 years. However, the working parts of the toilet may need to be replaced sooner due to wear and tear.  If the toilet is structurally sound, but you’re having problems with recurring clogs, slow or inefficient flushing, or constantly running water, then you may only need to have your toilet repaired.

However, if your toilet is nearing the 10-year mark, has visible cracks or cosmetic blemishes, or requires frequent repairs, then it could be time to consider replacing it. Not only will you solve existing problems, but you’ll also probably be able to save a considerable amount of money on your water bill.  Toilets built before 1994 use an average of 3-5 gallons per flush, where today’s high-efficiency models use .8 to 1.6 gallons to efficiently clear away waste.

The licensed technicians at Dependable Service Plumbing are able to inspect your toilet and provide recommendations for repair or replacement. We have over a decade of experience servicing homes in Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Conway and surrounding areas, schedule your appointment today!

The Benefits of Video Pipe Inspections

Video pipe inspections are especially useful because they are precise.  They remove the guesswork from plumbing without all the trenching and digging.  The trained and licensed technicians at Dependable Service Plumbing can determine the cause of the problem faster making video pipe inspections even more cost-efficient.

Some benefits and advantages of solving drain clog and piping problems with video pipe inspections are:

• Saves time and money by quickly localizing the issue
• Minimal damage to surrounding property and landscape
• Timely, efficient, and precise diagnosis to the respective plumbing problem
• Allows technicians to provide more accurate up-front repair and replacement costs
• Removes guesswork
• Verifies the completeness of a cleared drain

Why Must Water Heaters Be Replaced?

We use water heaters every single day. Any appliance used so frequently demands our attention plus a little TLC.  It is industry standard that even well-maintained water heaters will last on average between 10 and 15 years (well-maintained tankless water heaters on average last about 5-10 years longer). Maintenance is the key to longevity.

Here are some common reasons water heaters need to be replaced:

• Deteriorated anode rod
• Sediment build-up due to lack of system-wide flushing
• Rushed installation
• Improperly sized for specific location
• Over-capacity
• Damaged pilot light
• Defective heating element
• Faulty temperature sensor

If you suspect a water heater problem, call a licensed plumber.  We will quickly get to the root of the problem and make repairs to increase water efficiency.

Contact the licensed professionals of Myrtle Beach, Conway, and Pawley’s Island to take care of your water heater needs.

Signs of a Water Line Break

Similar to sewer line breaks, water main line breaks have fairly obvious signals that point to a problem.  These are:

• Suddenly high water bills
• Weak ground
• Collapsed ground or sidewalk
• Puddles in the yard, clearly not associated with rain water
• Spinning water meter when water is not turned on
• Decreased or inconsistent water pressure
• Lack of water supply

Water main line breaks need to be immediately addressed. Your utility bills will only continue to rise until the problem is fixed as a result of the large amount of water being wasted.

Hard Water Solutions

The licensed and trained professional technicians at Dependable Service Plumbing will install a water softener in your home or business.  Water softeners protect your plumbing fixtures by breaking down and remove the mineral deposits leaving water clean, fresh, and “soft.”

Benefits of Water Softeners

Noticeable benefits of water softener installations include:

• Improved taste of water
• Cleaner clothing
• Cleaner dishes
• Consistent water pressure
• Increased longevity of plumbing fixtures and appliances
• Improved plumbing appliance performance

De-Winterizing Your Home

In order to properly be able to utilize your plumbing your home must be de-winterized to reverse winterizing on a house that was left vacant during the winter.

De-winterizing will restore your home to it’s normal function through undoing the protective measures needed during the colder months. The professionals at Dependable Service Plumbing will do a series of tests to make sure your system is ready to return to normal use.

• Our professionals will close off the faucets throughout your home, open the meter valve and check for any split pipes that may have suffered damage during the winter.
• We will operate all faucets and toilets, turn on the circuit breaker to the water heater and re-set the thermostats.
