What should I do if my toilet or drain is clogged?

There are numerous do-it-yourself techniques for unclogging a toilet or drain. All these treatments, from the baking soda and vinegar approach to plungers, coat hangers, and purchasing a toilet snake, can help but are not guaranteed. You should contact McGee Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. We'll not only unclog your toilet or sink but also make sure it doesn't happen again anytime soon.
Why is the water pressure in my shower so low?

Hard-water building in pipes, hot water tank difficulties such as silt accumulation, or a problem with the water line, such as pinched, can cause low water pressure. Regular maintenance should keep these things from happening, but you must bring in a licensed plumber if they do.
What should I do in the event of a plumbing emergency?

Please get in touch with us right away! We make ourselves available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for this purpose.
What should I do if my toilet refuses to stop running?

There is an easy solution to this. A floating cover regulates the water level in our toilet tank. You may adjust the cap by going inside your tank. If this continues, you may require a replacement. Contact us, and we will do the task swiftly and affordably.
How can I turn off the water throughout the house?

Look for your house's main valve. It will be near your water meter. Then crank it clockwise until it comes to a halt. If you run a tap, the pipes will have leftover water, but it will clean out with use.
How do I keep my pipes from freezing in the winter?

Insulate your pipes, seal air leaks, keep your property warm, open cabinet doors, drip all faucets, disconnect outdoor hoses, and if all else fails, contact us to help!
