FAQs

Lifetime Plumbing & Drains
  • How can I see if I can fix my disposal?

    The majority of disposals are equipped with a reset button. Press this button first before reaching out for professional assistance.
  • How do I know if I have thermal expansion?

    If you notice thumping sounds coming from within your walls when no plumbing fixtures are in use, this is a strong indicator of thermal expansion.
  • Does my disposal work as trash can?

    Your disposal should not be treated as a garbage receptacle. We advise only placing small food debris into the disposal and ensuring water runs continuously during operation.
  • Are flushable wipes actually flushable?

    Despite their marketing, flushable wipes should never be flushed. These products are a leading cause of drain blockages.
  • How often should I flush my water heater?

    Water heater flushing should be performed once per year. If your water heater has not been flushed in over three years, we advise contacting our team before attempting this maintenance yourself.
