A leaky kitchen faucet in an older home is often caused by worn-out washers or O-rings. Start by turning off the water supply under the sink, disassemble the faucet handle, replace the faulty parts with new ones from a hardware store, and reassemble. If it's a cartridge faucet, swap the entire cartridge. For persistent leaks, consider calling the professional plumbers at Pronto to avoid further damage at 405.237.3809.

Low water pressure in shower heads can result from mineral buildup, clogged aerators, or pipe corrosion. To increase it, remove the showerhead, soak it in vinegar overnight to dissolve deposits, clean the aerator, and check for leaks in pipes. If the issue persists house-wide, inspect your main water valve or consult a plumber for potential pipe upgrades. If the problem persists, contact the experienced plumbers at Pronto at 405-237-3809 to diagnose and fix the issue.

The best natural ways to unclog a bathroom sink drain include using a baking soda and vinegar mixture: pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain, follow with a cup of vinegar, let it fizz for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water. A plunger or drain snake can also dislodge hair and debris effectively. If this is something that is working for you or something that you feel comfortable doing, you should give the pros a call at Pronto Plumbing and let them get your drains cleared. Pronto has state of the art equipment that can show us a live view of the problem pipe area. Help is just a phone call or text away 24/7 405-237-3809.

Without proper maintenance, your hot water heater has a very limited life span, especially without treated water. Signs that yours needs to be replaced include rusty water, strange noises like popping, leaks around the base, or inconsistent hot water supply. If your heater is over 10 years old and efficiency has dropped, replacement with an energy-efficient model like a tankless unit could save on utility bills. Also, depending on the model selected, it could be a fat rebate check.

To prevent frozen pipes in winter, insulate exposed pipes with foam sleeves, let faucets drip during extreme cold, keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air circulation, and maintain indoor temperatures above 55°F. Seal drafts around doors and windows to minimize cold exposure. You can also contact the pros at Pronto for a plumbing evaluation to ensure you're not in danger of pipes freezing this winter.

A toilet that keeps running is usually due to a faulty flapper, fill valve, or chain issues.

Try hot water and dish soap: pour a generous amount of soap into the bowl, followed by hot (not boiling) water, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before flushing. Baking soda and vinegar or a wire hanger straightened into a hook can also break up blockages. Of course, it goes without saying that this should only be used a last resort. Your first call should be to Pronto if you don't have a plunger. 405-237-3809
