Plumbing Repair FAQs
How do I find the main water shutoff in a Dane County home?
Look where the water line enters your house, often near the meter in a basement or utility room. Many homes around Madison use a quarter-turn ball valve with a lever that turns 90 degrees to stop flow. If you are unsure, close the nearest fixture shutoff and wait for help from Action Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric.
A pipe burst in my Madison home. What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Turn off the main water, open a low tub or laundry faucet to relieve pressure, move belongings away from the leak, and avoid using appliances that add water to the system. Quick steps like these limit damage until Action Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric can make permanent repairs.
Are chemical drain cleaners safe for clogged sinks in older Madison houses?
Harsh cleaners can damage piping, finishes, and septic systems and they often miss the real blockage. Try a plunger or a plastic hair tool for minor clogs. For recurring slow drains, schedule professional clearing so the line is opened fully without harming pipes.
Why does my basement floor drain smell like sewer gas sometimes?
Dry P-traps, failed trap primers, or vent issues let odors escape. Pour water into seldom-used drains, then add a small amount of mineral oil to slow evaporation. If odors persist, ask Action Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric to inspect vents and confirm the trap holds water.
What causes sudden low water pressure throughout the house?
Utility work, a stuck pressure-reducing valve, a partially closed main, or a hidden leak can drop pressure. If only one faucet is weak, clean the aerator or replace the cartridge. Whole-home pressure loss calls for a PRV check and leak detection.
My sump pump runs nonstop after a storm in Sun Prairie or Fitchburg. What should I check?
Confirm the pump has power, the float moves freely, and the discharge check valve is installed correctly. Look for a clogged or frozen discharge line outside. If the pit fills fast or the pump short-cycles, a larger basin, backup pump, or routing change may be needed.
Why did my water bill spike with no obvious leaks in Middleton or Monona?
Silent toilet leaks, slab leaks, or a water softener stuck in regeneration can waste hundreds of gallons. Shut off toilet supplies one by one to test, then watch the meter with all fixtures off. Action Plumbing, Heating, AC & Electric can pinpoint hidden leaks with acoustic or thermal tools.
What should I do when faucets run brown or cloudy water?
Brief discoloration can follow hydrant flushing or stirred sediment. Run a cold tap for several minutes, then flush the water heater if only hot taps stay discolored. Persistent rust or grit may point to aging galvanized piping that needs evaluation.
Can frozen pipes be thawed without opening walls all over my Waunakee home?
Often yes. A licensed plumber can target the frozen section, warm it safely, and repair any splits. To prevent refreezing, add insulation, seal rim-joist air leaks, and consider heat tape where appropriate.
Do I need drain cleaning or drain clearing and what is the difference?
Clearing removes an immediate blockage with tools like augers. Cleaning restores more of the pipe’s interior by removing buildup along the walls and may involve hydro-jetting. For frequent slowdowns, cleaning is the better long-term solution for Madison and Dane County homes.
