Plumbing in Reno, NV: what's different here
- Older homes can still have galvanized or early copper pipes. While a plumber is there, ask them to look at supply lines and the main shutoff.
- Disconnect garden hoses and shut off outdoor faucets before the first snow so they don’t freeze and burst.
- Frozen pipes are the big winter risk. Insulate pipes in outside walls and crawl spaces, and know where your main shutoff is.
Plumbing questions homeowners ask
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?+−
Turn off the main water valve, switch off power near the water if it is safe, move valuables, and call a plumber right away.
How long does a water heater last?+−
Many tank water heaters last roughly 8 to 12 years. Leaks at the base, rusty water or running out of hot water quickly are signs it may need replacing.
Can I clear a clogged drain myself?+−
A plunger or drain snake often fixes simple clogs. Repeated clogs or several drains backing up at once can point to a main line problem that needs a pro.
