Johnny's Plumbing & Hydronics FAQs

The annual flushing of a tank-style water heater or tankless water heater is highly recommended by the manufacturers and Johnny's Plumbing & Hydronics. This will help extend its life span by preventing sediment accumulation and leaks. A yearly cleaning is especially important for tankless water heaters to keep them functioning properly and maintain the integrity of the heat exchanger. This allows it to work under optimum conditions while giving you the most efficient delivery of hot water throughout your home or building.

If your existing water heater is over 12 years old, it might be time to start thinking about getting it replaced. Hot water heater tanks become calcified, cause leaks, or stop working altogether if they get too old. These are all good indications that it’s time to replace your water heater.

If you catch yourself turning up the temperature on your tank-style water heater because it's no longer delivering enough hot water, then this is a good indicator that a new water heater is needed in the near future. 

If you're interested in tankless water heater installation in Pueblo, CO or the surrounding areas, call us today!

Tankless water heaters are very cost-effective, durable, and much more efficient in comparison to a traditional/conventional water heater (storage tank water heaters). Tankless water heaters won’t occupy a great deal of space in your house and they use 30% to 50% less power than conventional tanks, which can lower your utility costs. Since tankless systems only heat the water when you need it, as opposed to keeping gallons of hot water in a tank, tankless water heaters are on-demand and offer continuous hot water. 

We advise tankless water heaters for homeowners who are looking to reduce their water bills and decrease the quantity of upkeep required throughout the year. Call us today for tankless water heater installation in Pueblo, CO and the surrounding area.

Hydro-Jetting is a form of sewer and drain cleaning that sprays water through your pipes at extremely high pressure (nearly 4000 PSI) to flush away the debris. Hydro-Jetting uses a very high-pressure spray nozzle that enters the drain piping and clears away roots, grease, debris, ice blockage, and other foreign objects. This process is very effective for severely plugged sewer and drain lines within residential and commercial locations.

Our newest trailer jetter is capable of supplying 4,000 PSI at 10 GPM of HOT water through specialty nozzles, such as the WartHog. This superior equipment will surely remove any problems within any sewer and drain piping from 2"-12" in pipe size. Hydro Jetting does not use chemicals and is an excellent method of pipe cleaning in Pueblo, CO.

If you continuously have problems with your toilet, simple drain cleaning in Pueblo, CO may not resolve the issue. Here are a few signs that it might be time to replace your toilet:

Tree roots that invade your plumbing can create severe damage if not remedied immediately. Tree roots can break through underground plumbing, blocking the flow of water and waste to and from your home. To help avoid tree root invasion, here are some things you can do:

• Tree Removal: If a tree continues to be a problem, have it professionally removed. The cost of tree removal will be minimal compared to constantly repairing your plumbing.
• Sewer Line Cleaning: Hydro Jetting is an environmentally friendly way to clean your pipes. The intense water pressure can cut through clogs, debris, and tree roots obstructing your sewer line in Pueblo, CO.
• Routine Plumbing Maintenance: Have a camera inspection performed every two to three years to detect invasive roots. You can spot small plumbing concerns before they become expensive repairs.
• Root Barrier: Install a root barrier around any new trees by digging an 18 to 24-inch trench around the root zone. The barrier will keep the roots from invading your pipes.
