Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does a reverse osmosis system improve drinking water?

    A reverse osmosis system removes impurities, minerals, and contaminants like sediment, chlorine, and dissolved solids from your water. This filtration improves taste, odor, and overall quality for drinking and cooking. At Night & Day Plumbing, we install these systems under the kitchen sink for convenient access to purified water.
  • Why is water softener installation important in New Braunfels?

    Central Texas has high mineral content in its water, which causes scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances. A water softener reduces this mineral buildup, extending the life of your plumbing system and improving appliance efficiency. Night & Day Plumbing sizes and installs systems to match your home's water supply needs.
  • What's the difference between tankless and tank water heaters?

    Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand without storing it in a tank, improving energy efficiency and saving space. Traditional tank water heaters store and maintain hot water for immediate use. At Night & Day Plumbing, we install both types based on household size and hot water needs.
  • How often should you maintain a water heater in Central Texas?

    Water heaters in Central Texas should be maintained annually to flush sediment buildup caused by hard water. This routine service checks heating components and extends the unit's lifespan. Night & Day Plumbing recommends regular maintenance to prevent mineral accumulation and ensure reliable hot water performance.
  • What causes slow drains in residential plumbing?

    Slow drains are typically caused by grease, soap residue, hair, food debris, and mineral buildup inside pipes. These blockages restrict water flow and can lead to standing water or recurring clogs. Professional drain cleaning from Night & Day Plumbing removes buildup more effectively than over-the-counter products.
  • Can hard water damage my plumbing fixtures?

    Yes, hard water causes scale buildup in faucets, showerheads, pipes, and water heaters, reducing efficiency and lifespan. High mineral content is common in Central Texas water supplies. Installing a water softener helps prevent damage and keeps plumbing fixtures working properly longer.
  • What does professional toilet installation include?

    Professional toilet installation ensures proper sealing, alignment, and connection to your drainage system to prevent leaks and ensure reliable flushing. The process includes securing the fixture, testing operation, and checking for proper water flow. Night & Day Plumbing handles installations for new bathrooms, remodels, and replacements.
  • How does a sewer video camera inspection work?

    A sewer video camera inspection uses specialized equipment to visually examine the inside of drain and sewer lines. This allows plumbers to accurately diagnose blockages, cracks, or damage without unnecessary digging. Night & Day Plumbing uses this technology to identify plumbing issues quickly and plan effective repairs.
  • What are the benefits of upgrading to a modern faucet?

    Modern faucets improve water efficiency, functionality, and the appearance of kitchens and bathrooms. Upgrading ensures leak-free connections and correct water pressure. Night & Day Plumbing installs a variety of faucet styles with proper supply line connections and shutoff valves.
  • When should you replace an older water heater?

    Older water heaters should be replaced when they show signs of inefficiency, frequent repairs, or inadequate hot water supply. Upgrading to a newer model improves energy efficiency and reduces recovery time. At Night & Day Plumbing, we help homeowners choose the right size and type for their household needs.
  • What's involved in adding a new bathroom to your home?

    Adding a bathroom requires installing water supply lines, drain lines, and fixtures like toilets, sinks, showers, and bathtubs. Proper plumbing design ensures reliable drainage, water pressure, and code-compliant installations. Night & Day Plumbing coordinates with contractors to complete bathroom addition projects throughout the New Braunfels area.
  • How does reverse osmosis reduce contaminants in tap water?

    Reverse osmosis forces water through a semipermeable membrane that filters out impurities, dissolved solids, and contaminants smaller than water molecules. This advanced filtration removes sediment, chlorine, and minerals commonly found in local supplies. Night & Day Plumbing ensures proper installation for optimal filtration performance and leak-free operation.
