There are some home improvement and maintenance projects that homeowners can put off almost indefinitely, but tackling issues with plumbing, heating, and cooling systems is almost always an immediate need. It’s important for homeowners in Burlington, WA, to have a contractor in mind who can help with any kind of residential plumbing or HVAC issue. The good news is that LaVergne's Plumbing and Heating offers a full range of heating, cooling, and plumbing services.
Residential plumbing systems are more complex than most homeowners realize, so there’s a lot that can go wrong. Scheduling routine plumbing inspections and maintenance visits help homeowners avoid frustrating and often costly problems. However, even if families are responsible about what they put down their drains, clogs, leaks, and water pressure drops can still get in the way. The best thing to do is to call a plumber to schedule repairs immediately.
Some plumbing problems are easy to identify. Everyone knows that plumbers can help with leaky faucets, clogged drains, and toilet troubles. There are also some more subtle signs that a home’s plumbing system is in trouble, which can include:
Homeowners can also trust the experts at LaVergne’s to help with installing new pipes, drains, and fixtures. These experts can tackle anything from replacing one leaky faucet to completing an entire bathroom remodel.
Lavergne’s doesn’t just help homeowners with resolving minor plumbing problems. The company also offers a full range of sewer and drain services.
Some minor clogs can be resolved at home using a plunger, but homeowners should know that it’s never wise to introduce chemical drain cleaners into their wastewater systems. These cleaners can cause serious damage. The problem isn’t just that these caustic chemicals damage pipes, either. They can also cause chemical burns.
For serious clogs, it’s always best to call a professional. Expert plumbers have all kinds of equipment to help them safely resolve any kind of blockage. They have specialized cameras that can help them identify where the clogs are located and high-pressure water jetting equipment that can break through all kinds of clogs.
Most modern families take it as a given that when they turn on the shower or go to do the dishes there will be plenty of hot water to accomplish those tasks comfortably. They give little thought to where it’s coming from. Unfortunately, that means that homeowners often neglect their water heaters.
Water heaters need regular maintenance and occasional repairs. Homeowners should also expect to replace these vital devices every decade or two. Even with adequate maintenance, homeowners can only expect traditional tank-type water heaters to last 8-12 years. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, can last 20 years or longer, but they’ll still need to be maintained, repaired, and, eventually, replaced.
Working with a plumbing company that can also provide water heater services helps homeowners keep their maintenance tasks simple. Instead of trying to deduce whether a problem is happening because of plumbing troubles or a damaged water heater, they can simply call LaVergne’s to get all the help required to keep the family’s hot water flowing.
The best part is that there’s no need to wait until someone jumps in the shower to find that the water is freezing cold or looks in the basement to see a flooded floor. Common signs of water heater troubles often occur well in advance of complete system failures. They include:
Homeowners who notice any of these issues should call a water heater technician immediately. It can make the difference between needing minor repairs and facing not just a water heater replacement but also hefty water damage repair bills.
There are few things worse than having a furnace go out in the middle of the winter. Instead of waiting for the worst-case scenario to call an HVAC technician, homeowners should schedule routine maintenance visits for the early fall to identify potential issues and have them resolved before the cold weather arrives.
Of course, preventative maintenance won’t solve every problem that could come up. It’s also important to have an HVAC contractor on speed-dial to help with all of the issues that arise during the winter months. No Burlington family deserves to feel left out in the cold in its own home.
Think it might be time to replace an aging furnace? An expert HVAC contractor can also help with choosing a new unit, removing the old one, and installing a furnace that will better fit the family’s needs.
Like furnaces, air conditioners need to be inspected and tuned up once a year, usually during the early spring. Without adequate maintenance, AC units will be less efficient and more likely to break down.
Homeowners who notice dramatic spikes in their energy bills when summer hits should call an HVAC contractor to schedule an inspection. The chances are good that there’s a minor issue with the unit that’s causing it to work harder than it needs to, leading to lower efficiency and higher bills.
Older air conditioner units are also much less efficient than their modern counterparts. Replacing them is the best way to save money, and the experts at LaVergne’s will have no trouble removing the old unit, sizing a new one appropriately, and installing it quickly so that the family can stay cool for the rest of the season without spending a fortune.
Whether homeowners are looking for a plumber or need heating and air conditioning services, they can trust LaVergne’s to offer the best service at competitive pricing. The company has been in business since 1951, and in that time, its expert technicians have tackled every kind of residential plumbing, heating, and air conditioning problem that could come up.

I was called to a home to fix a backed-up kitchen drain. I tested the drain with a camera and found that the drain was clogged with grease and hair. I recommended jetting the drain and treating it with a chemical to prevent future clogs. The homeowner agreed to the treatment and I scheduled a date to return and replace the waste lines in the home.
