Choose the Right Plumber

Ezra Rivera • April 24, 2023

Finding a plumber you trust can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be.

There a few steps you can take before you start calling or fire up the laptop. It’s easier than you think. Most people hire a plumber when an emergency happens, but truthfully, you should add a plumbing specialist to your remodel and renovation team. If do this, you will already have the contact information of a plumber when you have an issue because you have a previous relationship.


When you’re choosing the right plumber, the following should take place:


  •  Ask for Referrals and take the time to read online reviews
  • Interview the company and/or the actual plumber
  • Get an estimate
  • Ask about their warranty
  • Make sure they’re licensed and insured


When hiring plumber, you should really be considering the amount of experience of the company in all facets of plumbing as well as how long they have been serving their community. For example, the professional team at A Rescue Rooter has been looking after the plumbing needs of customers in Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and all nearby communities for decades. Trust A Rescue Rooter if you need any plumbing services and repair for your home and business. If it’s drain cleaning services you need, don’t hesitate to get in touch with A Rescue Rooter.


A good company will have technicians that look after the following plumbing as well as all HVAC needs:


  •  Furnace and air conditioners
  • Sewer and pipe repairs
  • Water heaters
  • Pool heaters
  • Steam and water boilers
  • Drain cleaning
  • And, of course, can take care of any repairs or installations


As you can see, a good plumber can fix more than leaky faucets. Look for a company that take of all your plumbing needs. When you’re choosing a plumber, you should go with a company that can also look after your HVAC needs. If possible, you should have your HVAC system checked long before the air conditioning unit is turned on. A routine check and maintenance will take care of any small issues before they become large ones.

The Water Pressure at Home is Dropping

By Robbie Balla • April 28, 2025
Low water pressure is more than just an inconvenience—it can be a sign of a deeper plumbing issue. Whether you’re brushing your teeth, running the dishwasher, or trying to enjoy a relaxing shower, reduced water pressure disrupts your daily routines and could point to hidden problems in your home’s plumbing system. But how do you know when it’s time to call a professional plumber? Here’s a detailed guide to help homeowners and plumbers decide the right course of action when the water pressure starts to drop. Common Causes of Low Water Pressure Mineral Build-up in Pipes Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can accumulate inside your plumbing pipes, reducing the flow of water. Areas with hard water are particularly prone to this problem, and once it starts, it tends to worsen if left unaddressed. Leaky Pipes A hidden leak in your plumbing system can drastically reduce water pressure. Not only does this waste water (and increase your bill), but it can also cause significant property damage if not handled quickly. Clogged Fixtures Sometimes, the issue lies in your faucets or showerheads. Dirt, debris, or limescale can clog fixtures, reducing the water flow. While this is often something you can fix yourself, it’s important to rule out more serious causes. Faulty Pressure Regulator If your water pressure is fluctuating or uniformly low, the pressure regulator might be faulty. This part ensures your water pressure remains at a safe, functional level, so any issues with it need immediate attention. Main Water Line Problems Sometimes, low water pressure originates outside your home. Damage to your main water line, aging utility infrastructure, or municipal water supply issues can affect overall pressure. When Should You Call A Rescue Rooter While some causes of low water pressure are simple enough to tackle on your own, others require the expertise of a professional. Here are some scenarios when calling a plumber—like Rescue Rooter in Southern Ontario—is your best bet: 1. You Can’t Find the Source of the Problem If you’ve checked for clogged fixtures, leaks, or a failing pressure regulator and can’t identify the issue, it’s time to call in the pros. A professional plumber has the tools and experience to diagnose the root cause quickly. 2. You Suspect a Hidden Leak Water leaks aren’t always obvious; they may occur behind walls, under floors, or in your outdoor plumbing. If your water pressure is dropping and you notice damp patches, unexplained water bills, or musty odors, a plumber should investigate immediately. 3. The Entire Home is Affected If the water pressure is low throughout the house (not just in one or two fixtures), this could be a sign of a larger issue, such as a damaged main water line or a problem with your pressure regulator. 4. There’s a Sudden and Significant Drop A sudden drop in water pressure can indicate a burst pipe or other significant damage. This requires immediate attention to prevent further harm to your home. 5.
