Have a question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Will my pipes freeze in one night?

    Pipes can freeze in as little as six to eight hours, so they can definitely freeze overnight. If the outside temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and your pipes are unprotected, the possibility of frozen pipes increases.


    Contact us today for more information. We're also happy to assist you with water heaters Knoxville, TN residents are having trouble with.

  • How do you unclog a toilet when the water is high?

    If your toilet bowl is already filled to the brim, try to empty out some of the water to prevent overflow. Next, pour one cup of baking soda and one cup of vinegar down the toilet drain. When the vinegar and baking soda combine, the natural chemical reaction will bubble up and loosen the clog.


    If the clog is severe, contact us for a proper toilet and drain cleaning Knoxville, TN residents recommend.

  • Why is the water in my toilet running?

    The three most common causes of this are a broken or dirty flapper, too long or too short of a chain between the flush lever and the flapper, or the float has moved out of position.


    These can be difficult to resolve without the proper training. Call us today for assistance with toilets and water heaters Knoxville, TN can count on.

  • Why does my shower faucet keep dripping?

    When water drips or drizzles from a shower head, there's a problem with the shower faucet or valve. In most cases, the inner seals are worn out or hard water deposits have created clogs for parts of your shower or corroded them. Also, the O-rings and gaskets that seal connections between moving metal parts will wear down with time and use. For a proper assessment and shower drain cleaning, call us today.

  • How do you know if your sewer is clogged?

    There are multiple indicators that your sewer is clogged. You may find that multiple drains in your home are backed up, drainage appears in a sewer clean-out, sewage is visible in your floor drains, or water backs up in your shower when you flush your toilet.


    All of these can be disruptive to your life at home, so call us immediately for assistance. We're proud to be the plumbers and electricians Knoxville, TN can trust.

  • What's the difference between drain clearing and drain cleaning?

    Drain clearing removes large debris that's creating a blockage. This may be clumps of hair or hard deposits. After the clog is removed, our plumbers will shoot a jet of pressurized water through the pipe. This is the drain cleaning portion that ensures any leftover debris moves through the pipe.


    For quality drain cleaning Knoxville, TN residents recommend, call us today.

  • How do I stop my house lights from flickering?

    Try tightening the bulb to ensure it is securely in the fixture. If it's a lamp that's flickering, check the plug to ensure it's fit securely in the outlet. If you have a dimmer switch on the light but you don't have a dimmable bulb in the fixture, that's probably the issue.


    For more information or to request a service from trained electricians Knoxville, TN relies on, give us a call.

  • What causes a circuit breaker to trip?

    A circuit breaker will usually trip when there's an electrical fault that could cause damage to the circuit. There could be an excess of current, a power surge, or a faulty component.


    For assistance with your breaker or for more information about the generators Knoxville, TN residents have to fall back on, call us today.

  • How do you fix a breaker that keeps tripping?

    Circuit overload is one of the most common reasons for circuit breakers tripping. To mitigate this in the short term, don’t have as many appliances at the same time on that circuit. The best long-term solution is to have an electrician update your home's wiring and add additional circuits. We're proud to be the electricians Knoxville, TN residents turn to for assistance.

  • What wiring do you need for a ceiling fan?

    Copper or green wire is the ground wire and helps prevent power surges. If there's a blue and black wire coming from the household circuit, there should be two switches on the wall. If there's a red wire coming from the ceiling, it's hooked up to the wall switch.


    For further clarification about these types of wiring, call the electricians Knoxville, TN trusts today.
