Plumbing Companies Indianapolis

We’ve had a lot of fun over the years, conveying our message on central Indiana (including Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville, Greenwood Geist, Avon and Zionsville) radio and television. We tried to make leaking faucets, water heaters, drain clogs, broken water lines and toilet problems fun, well as fun as they can be. (Hey, our plumbers think they are fun!)

First:

• Gourmet Adventures Month
• National Cookie Month
• National Pickled Peppers Month
• National Squirrel Awareness Month
• National Spinach Lover's Month
• National Pasta Month 

 

• Turn off the main water shut-off valve to your home.
• Open cabinet doors of all bathroom vanities and kitchen cupboards to allow warm air to heat the pipes under the sink.
• Secure windows, crawlspace openings and basement doors to keep the cold away from your water pipes.
• Remove hoses from outside hose spigots.

Faucet leaks

Check for faucets that do not shut off all the way, including bathtubs, showers, and outside spigots. Be sure to check under sinks for leaks at shut-off valves, etc.

 Toilet leaks

Periodically check your toilets for water leaking from tank to bowl, here's how:

Place a few drops of food coloring in the tank - not the bowl.  A couple of tablespoons of instant coffee or Kool-Aid will work too.  After about thirty minutes check the water in the toilet bowl to see if it has any of the color of the dyed water from the tank in it.  If the water in the bowl has gone from clear to color, the tank   is leaking and the flapper and/or the flush valve may need to be replaced. 

Underground leaks 

To check for underground leaks or undetected leaks in the home: 

Turn off the main water valve inside your home and then go outside and observe your water meter. If it is still turning you may have an underground leak. Alternatively, write down the numbers on your water meter at the beginning of a period when your home is going to be unoccupied for a few hours. Check the meter when you return; if the numbers have changed, there may be an out-of-sight leak somewhere inside your home or underground. 

If you would prefer to have a plumbing professional help you with finding out why you have a high water bill, just give AttaBoy Plumbing a call.  We're all about leaks at AttaBoy Plumbing Company -- or rather, fixing them -- so whether it's a high water bill that get's your attention, or a leaking water heater, drain, or gas line, you know who to call. 

Your Plumber, 
Buddy

We are asked all the time if AttaBoy Plumbing is a national franchise.  Rest assured, that AttaBoy is locally owned and operated and not a part of any national franchise.  But we did find out a number of years ago that there are other AttaBoy Plumbing Companies in a few other states (NY, TX, LA and WA).  While we are in no way affiliated with those AttaBoy's, we think they've got a GREAT name! 

Although they probably perform plumbing services and repairs in their neck of the woods, we are the only local AttaBoy plumber that tackles plumbing problems such as leaking water heaters, gas leaks, clogged drains and water softeners in Indianapolis, Fishers, Carmel, Zionsville, Noblesville, Westfield, Avon and Greenwood.  AND, the other companies don't have Buddy!

Gas leaks are serious.  Thankfully, this was caught in time.  Here's the story from WTHR from last week:

Noblesville - The Walmart at 16865 Clover Road was evacuated overnight because of a gas leak.

Around 3:30 Wednesday morning, an employee moving boxes in the rear of the store punctured a gas line.

Employees heard a hissing sound and then smelled the natural gas odor.

The manager quickly called the fire department.  They evacuated all the employees and one woman who was shopping.

It took about an hour for the gas company to shut down the line.

Just before 5:00 a.m., the all clear was given and everyone was allowed back in the store.

So follow the actions of this "on the ball" employee....whenever you think you smell a gas leak, leave the premises and call the authorities.  And of course, if a repair needs to be done, that's a plumbing problem and AttaBoy Plumbing can fix it!
