Start by checking one faucet — unscrew the aerator (the little screen at the tip) and rinse out any grit. If it’s the whole house, check that your shutoff valve is fully open. Sometimes the issue is a clogged pressure-reducing valve or buildup in old pipes.

👉 If cleaning the aerator doesn’t solve the issue, we can test your system to identify the actual cause.

First, check if your neighbors also lost water (could be a township issue). If it’s just your home, see if the main shutoff valve was accidentally closed. Well owners: check your breaker box to make sure the well pump has power.

👉 If you still can’t find the cause, give us a call — we’ll track it down.

That noise is often called “water hammer.” Try shutting off your main water valve and draining all the faucets in the house, then turning the water back on. This can reset the air chambers in your plumbing.

👉 If the banging continues, you may need a water hammer arrestor or valve replacement — we can help with that.

We don’t recommend it. These chemicals are harsh on pipes and can be dangerous if a plumber later has to work on that line. Instead, try a small plunger, a drain snake from the hardware store, or even a wet/dry shop vac to suck the clog out.

👉 If those DIY tricks don’t do it, we’ve got bigger tools that will.
