  • Why don't I have any water pressure?

    You likely don't have water pressure because there's a problem with your pressure-reducing valve. They get old, stop up, and wear out. Minerals and calcium in your water can also clog it up. Fortunately, it's an easy fix to have it replaced.

  • Why don't I have much hot water when I know I should?

    Lost of hot water can be caused by a few things: 


    • Age of your water heater
    • There's an issue with the heating element
    • The temperature needs to be adjusted
    • Calcium and minerals could be built up in the tank

  • Why won't my garbage disposal turn on?

    Most garbage disposals have a reset button or switch on the bottom. It's possible for them to jam up due to an overload of debris. Try pressing the switch at the bottom to reset the disposal. If this doesn't fix the issue, please give us a call.

  • Why do I hear a vibrating or humming noise in my walls when using certain sinks or showers?

    The issue could be caused by one or more of your toilets. The next time you hear it, look inside your toilet tank. Put your fingers on the rod that the ball is attached to and if the sound stops, then you'll need to have your fill valve changed. For assistance, please contact us.

  • Some important things you should always be aware of and know:

    At E&M Plumbing Co, Inc, we suggest that you know where your main shut-off valve is located. If a water emergency occurs, you can easily shut off the valve to avoid excessive water damage.
