Plumbing FAQs

Clogged drains can be a recurring and frustrating problem. Between hair, soap, food, mineral deposits, and dirt, there are a lot of ways to cause backups. Fortunately, Heiden Plumbing has the solutions. Mix ½ cup of salt and ½ cup of baking soda together, pour it down the clogged drain, and let it sit for half an hour before flushing it away with boiling water. If that doesn’t work, don’t settle for chemical drain cleaners, which can harm your pipes. Instead, give our plumbers a call to clear things away.

In general, water heaters last about eight to 12 years. To reach the tail end of that—and beyond—you need to take good care of it. That means regular maintenance appointments, insulating your pipes, and replacing corroded anode rods. Flushing the system out with manufacturer-recommended methods also helps.

When temperatures dip here in Southeastern Wisconsin, they can get low. Help yourself prevent frozen pipes with these tips:

  • Insulate pipes that are exposed to outside air, like those in attics and crawl spaces
  • Keep your thermostat set no lower than 60°F
  • Shut off water to your outdoor spigots

In general, you shouldn’t need them replaced, but the real answer depends on what type of pipes you have and how much water you use. If you notice water pressure issues or frequent leaking, call our experts right away. Those are signs of a deeper problem—and one Heiden Plumbing can fix.

Sewer & Water FAQs

A backed-up line is both frustrating and potentially costly. But it’s also preventable. Fats, oils, and grease from cooking are some of the biggest culprits of clogs. Instead of washing them down the sink—where they can stick to pipes—let them harden and cool off a bit, then throw them away. Similarly, be careful of what you flush down the toilet. Be sure to throw out paper towels, baby wipes, or sanitary napkins instead of flushing them.

The biggest symptom of a sewer clog that you’ll see will be with the drains in your house. Whether they’re backed up or slow, something bigger could be wrong. Other signs include:

  • Gurgling or bubbling sounds when water drains
  • Bad, sewage-like odors coming from your drains
  • Water seeping and setting out on your lawn

Your first step is to call Heiden Plumbing to help sort things out. We offer trenchless and CIPP line repair services—and are one of the few contractors in Wisconsin who do.

Be cautious and put safety first—sewage is a health hazard. Have any carpets that were affected professionally cleaned, and wash other surfaces with hot water and soap. Also, be sure to get protective gear, such as rubber gloves, boots, and goggles, when dealing with cleaning. And be sure to wash your hands and affected clothes when you’re done.

HVAC FAQs

When you work with Heiden on installing new HVAC systems, you know you’re getting comfort solutions tailored to you. Our team starts by measuring your home and learning its layout to determine the perfect size unit. Based on those results, as well as your budget and comfort needs, we’ll lay out all your options and help you choose the right one. There’s no guesswork involved.

Typically, you can expect your furnace to last you about 13 years and your AC about 10 to 15 years. Those numbers are conservative, though. If you take good care of your systems and regularly schedule maintenance, you can help increase their lifespan.

In addition to lengthening your systems’ lifespans, regular service also improves your energy efficiency. Your units will be cleaned and tuned, your energy bills will decrease, and you’ll reduce the chance of unexpected HVAC issues, breakdowns, and repairs.

The short answer is yes—it’s essential. It’s a small part of your HVAC setup, but an important one. As air circulates through your home, it passes through that filter, which catches pollutants such as dust, dirt, and even certain airborne viruses. That keeps you breathing cleaner air. However, over time, those contaminants will clog your filter and prevent air from flowing through your home. Replacing standard filters once every one to three months—or high-efficiency filters every six to 12 months—you can maintain your best indoor air quality.

In addition to dust and dirt, many household activities and products contribute to poor air quality. That includes:

  • Cooking
  • Cleaning products
  • Carpet fibers
  • Candles
  • Pet hair and dander
  • Pollen
  • Carpets and paint
