Plumbing questions, answered for Farmer City

The call we get most in Farmer City is burst supply lines during deep winter freezes. Local housing is mostly suburban single-family homes on their own water service, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so sump pumps overwhelmed by seasonal snowmelt turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Farmer City line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
