Zionsville Plumbing Problems

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!)

Here are some simple things you can do to improve the efficiency of your basement plumbing.  Don't forget to do regular maintenance checks of the mechnicals in your basement.   
 

• To prevent sewer gas issues, which typically stem from basement floor drains, occasionally pour a bucket of water down the drain to keep the trap seal full.
• Check your water meter when no water is being used, note the reading and check it 8-10 hours later. If the meter has moved, it may be due to an undetected leak within your home.
• If you are experiencing water hammer noises, you can install shock absorbers, which will absorb the vibrations in water lines.
• Check your washing machine hoses for abnormalities, if there is a bulge, leak or weak spot you should most definitely consider replacement.
• Your septic tank should be inspected and pumped every 3-5 years, which ultimately should save you from a costly filter field replacement.

• Those who enjoy a challenge
• Those who have a tremendous knowledge and ability for a particular task
• Those who LOVE taking things apart and putting them back together....just to see how something works
• Those who find the work relaxing
• Those who are trying to save money

I was finishing my basement and had roughed in all of the plumbing except for the final phase of "stubbing out" the supple pipes, to be connected up after drywall. No matter what I did I could not get those final fittings (including a shower valve) to not leak. I was out of ideas other then to call AttaBoy.

They came out within 2 hours of my call and was able to fix my "DIY" issue before the end of the day.

I was very happy with the the service and the fact that the plumber answered a few of my other questions while he was working on my issue. I will call only Attaboy for any other plumbing problems.

So if you are a DIY-er and and your simple plumbing repair turns into a plumbing problem, call the expert plumbers at AttaBoy Plumbing.  We won't even mind if you take credit for the work....we'll never tell.

Most of the time you probably don’t give much thought to your plumbing system, that is until it's not working correctly.  Nothing will get the attention of a homeowner quicker than a rupture in a water line or fixture that starts pouring water onto their floors. Understanding a few basic facts about how your plumbing system works and what to do in case of a pipe break or system leak can prevent plumbing headaches and even property loss in the future.

First, the location of the main water shut-off is important to know. If a pipe breaks and is flooding your house, the main water supply may be the fastest way to shut off the flow of water. As your plumbing system enters your home either through a municipal water supply or private well you will find a main shut-off at the municipal water supply meter or the pressure tank of a private well. You should also find shut-off valves inside your home.  Many times these are located near the water heater or coming through a basement wall. Newer homes will have emergency shut-off valves for every fixture and appliance. However, in some cases older homes do not have these shut-offs and owners should plan to have them installed.

If after having tried to find and identify the important valves in your home, you are still confused as to where and what they are, you can give AttaBoy Plumbing a call and we'll send out one of our plumbers to locate and identify them for you. While he is there he will also let you know if he finds any valves (or other plumbing components) that may be exhibiting any problems that may be a concern to you.

Remember, we serve all of the Indianapolis metro and surrounding area including, Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, and Zionsville.

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!
