New Water Heater

During the holidays, we had a major repair in the house. It started when my husband detected water on the floor by the sink. He thought DD or me spilled some water accidentally on the floor. He even called me just to ask about that. But the water on the floor continued to flow.

My husband checked under the sink but there was no sign of leak anywhere under there. He even removed the dishwasher but he didn't see any sign of leak there either. The water was coming from under the sink cabinets. So he bore a big hole where the hot and cold water were connected. And sure thing the pipe for he hot water was leaking.

The professional plumber he contacted did a great job fixing the leak. But we had to replace the water heater. All these repairs happened during the Holiday season.   

Our new water heater.

Satisfied With The Professional Plumbing Service

When he got home one evening, my husband noticed water on the kitchen floor by the sink.  He called and asked me about it.  I told him it wasn't there when we left. My daughter and I was in town that day.  He said the water kept on going.  He looked under the sink but there was no water there even in the sink cabinets.  As he was checking further, my husband noticed the water was coming from under the sink cabinet.  It was raining hard that day but it couldn't be the rainwater had overflown from the house's foundation.  My husband had a bad feeling that a pipe has popped and leaking.  He removed the dishwasher and check.  There's water on the cement.  He did something to prove his suspicion about the hot water.  He made a hole on the sheet rock by the kitchen sink where the water supply to the sink is connected.  There he ran the water for a few minutes.  Then he saw that one of the pipes (for the hot water) was leaking.  When my daughter and I got home, the dishwasher was out and towels on the floor.

That happened during the Holidays.  Very bad timing.  My husband immediately looked for a professional plumbing service.  He found one and that Monday of Christmas week the plumber came over and evaluated the leak problem.  The repair didn't start until the following Monday.  We are satisfied with the plumbing service.  They finished the job in three days.

We are happy and thankful that a major repair in our house is finished. The leak is fixed.  But it didn't stop there.  We have to have the water heater replaced because the water is not getting hot like it used to be.  So after the New Year Day my husband purchased a new water heater and had it installed immediately.  We have hot water again. My husband and I are so relieved.  

Problem On Leaking Pipes Solved

I went to visit a friend who has had her birthday few days ago.  I wasn't able to come over to her house on that day because I wasn't feeling well.  The coughing and sneezing were really bad. Gladly I didn't run a fever.  And thankfully, my husband and my daughter didn't get sick.  It's no fun when sick. 

Anyway, when I got to feel better, I went to see her and brought some pizza and a birthday greeting card.  It's better late than never, you know.  :) I was happy for her because the water leak in their living room was fixed in no time.  They contacted a plumbing service that really was reliable.  Now their next plan is re-flooring because of a few holes created on their floors from leak detection.

Leaking Or Frozen Pipes? Leave It To The Plumbing Experts

It's been a long time since me and my friend in Canada had a conversation online.  She got so very busy in her new job.  Plus, she moved to a new place closer to where she is working right now.  I am very happy that everything is going as planned regarding her being an immigrant in Canada and landing a good job that is related to her field of expertise.  She is also working on the petition papers for her son. We always have a fun conversation.  We reminisce the times as colleagues in a computer school.  The parties, gatherings, school events, and hanging outs were so precious moments. 

My friend mentioned that another reason she moved to a new house is to avoid too much stress about home maintenance and everything.  She found this new house she's renting now very nice and suited for her.  When she got a frozen pipe problem few months ago at her house, a plumber in Mississauga fixed the problem immediately.  On the other hand, we talked about the recent calamity done by the super typhoon in our province.  She told me her parents' house in her town got knocked down, too.  All utility services are not available as of the moment.  So tragic event.  We felt sad for a few moments during our talk.

Living without electricity is hard but living without water is one of the most difficult.  Plumbing services back home is badly needed there right now.  If we only have services like Mississauga plumbing, leaks and pipes problem will be resolved up front. We are very worried about our families back home.  All we can do right now is to do our very best to help and assist them with their needs.

I hope to see my friend soon.  Hopefully I can go to Canada or she can come over here to Texas.  Whichever works.
