Ocala, FL homeowners trust us because we are always honest and doing the right thing for our customers.
Why Are Slab Leaks Dangerous?
Unlike a regular water leak, which occurs in a regular pipe located somewhere in your home, a slab leak occurs underneath the concrete slab that supports your home’s foundation. This is problematic because the leak is hard to notice and is often left to get worse before homeowners recognize the signs.
This is particularly troubling because as water rushes away from the slab, it carries sand and sediment that helps support the home. If enough of this sediment is removed, your home will be left seriously compromised and you will need to invest in significant structural repairs in addition to a leak repair.

What is the best way to clear a clogged grease drain?
There are a few effective ways to clear a grease-clogged drain.
- Use boiling water and dish soap to break up grease buildup.
- Pour water mixed with baking soda into the drain, then pour vinegar on top of it to get a chemical reaction that breaks down grease.
- Drain cleaners can also remove water buildup and hard water scale.
- Plumbers recommend using a water-powered mechanical drain cleaner to clear clogs altogether. These machines are easy to use and clear away any type of clog quickly.
For a badly clogged drain, you may need to hire a professional plumber that can clear out the drain with special equipment.

What are the different water heater sizes?
Water heaters come in a variety of sizes, and the size you need depends on how much water your household uses. Here are some general water heater size guidelines:
- If you use less than 40 gallons of water per day, a 40- or 50-gallon water heater will be large enough.
- If you use between 40 and 80 gallons of water per day, a water heater with a capacity of 60 or 80 gallons will probably be required.
- If you use over 80 gallons of water per day, an 85-gallon water heater should provide an adequate supply.
Note that these are general guidelines only; how much water your household actually uses may vary. To be sure you have the right water heater size, consult with a plumbing professional.
