What can I do about low water pressure in my sinks?
Low water pressure in your sinks and faucets can be caused by a few different things:
- Your washers or seals may have deteriorated.
- You might have buildup from lime or calcium.
- Your emergency shutoff may be closed.
In order to know for sure what the cause of your low water pressure is, you’ll need to connect with one of our professionals who can diagnose the issue and suggest solutions.
What can I do to prevent drain clogs?
Drain clogs are primarily caused by introducing items down the drain that shouldn’t be there. Knowing what can and cannot go down the drain is a great start to avoiding clogged drains in the future. The following items should not go down your drains:
- Food, Including Oils and Fats: Even if it seems harmless to pour these things into your kitchen sink’s drain, once fats cool they can congeal with food scraps into becoming a costly clogged sink repair.
- Hygiene Products: Even if it says flushable, don’t flush anything other than toilet paper down your drain. This includes cotton balls, diapers, sanitary products, and Q-tips.
- Hair: Hair is a common cause of a clogged drain. Using a proper strainer to catch hair before it gets in the drain is incredibly helpful. Our team can help you find the proper fit.
Is using Drano a good DIY solution for clogged drains?
No, using Drano is not recommended. The corrosive aspect of Drano can cause damage to your pipes, toilet bowls, and more. This can lead to costly repairs in the future. Additionally, since Drano is composed of toxic chemicals, it can be dangerous to keep and use in your home, especially around small children. It’s best that you contact a professional like us at Frank Gay Services for clogged drain services. We can treat even the most severe clogs, even using hydro jetting in many cases.
Can Frank Gay Services help me find and install a custom toilet?
Our complete toilet services include both traditional and personalized toilet options. We can help you find the right toilet for you, even including special features like bidets, unique colors, armrests, and even lighting.
What do I do if my air conditioning goes out?
If your air conditioner stops working, call our team at Frank Gay Services immediately. We provide emergency services for air conditioning, since Florida’s heat can be intense and staying cool can be a matter of safety.
How can I tell if I need AC repair?
When deciding whether or not you need to call a professional to repair your air conditioner, you should consider the following signs that it’s time for AC repair:
- You have poor airflow. We’ll take a look and check for blockages, then repair anything that needs to be fixed.
- You notice leaking water. If there is water pooled up around your AC system, that could be a leak from your cooling refrigerant or something else serious that needs immediate attention.
- Your system is cycling frequently. If you notice short cycling, then your AC is not running efficiently. The issues you’re experiencing can lead to an increase in your utility bills if left untreated for long. Contact a professional as soon as possible.
- You notice strange smells. Your HVAC should be odorless while it’s running. If there are odd odors coming from your AC, you may need your ducts cleaned or even UV light service to get rid of microbial growth.
- You hear odd sounds. The following noises are cause for concern: rattling, screeching, and clanging. It’s more than just annoying—it can be the sign of a serious issue.
Does Frank Gay Services provide AC maintenance?
Yes, our team performs regular tune ups as part of our AC maintenance services in Central Florida. You can schedule appointments regularly, around every six months, for best results. If you want to take it a step further, we can provide you with instructions on how to perform your own checks monthly to catch problems as soon as possible. Contact us for all of your needs regarding air conditioner installation, repair, and maintenance.
Is it important to get professional air duct cleaning?
Dirty ducts can impact what goes into your lungs. This can include mold or other contaminants if ducts are left uncleaned. That’s why we highly recommend our air duct cleaning services. During this service, our team will use a powerful vacuum and filtration device to get rid of all the dust, debris, and other irritants.
