Call (609) 547-1417Why Masonville lost power in 2011
Documented in August 2011
Masonville was one of the sections where power stayed out after Tropical Storm Irene in late August 2011. Generators at the township utilities authority kept the sewage pumps going, and overall damage was minimal.
A home with a sump pump should plan for the next outage. A pump that depends on household power does nothing when the lights go out, so a battery backup or a tested float is worth a quick conversation with a plumber. A sump pump repair visit covers the basics.
Quick checks before you phone a plumber
- Find the main water shutoff and make sure the valve turns.
- Look under sinks for a damp cabinet floor or a green crust on fittings.
- Check the water heater base and the pipes above it for drips.
- Run a tap and watch the water meter with every fixture off to spot a hidden leak.
- Note whether a slow drain affects one fixture or the whole house.
- Write down the water heater's age from its data plate.
Drains, leaks and installs in Masonville homes
A single slow drain is usually a local clog and responds to drain cleaning. If the lowest tub or floor drain gurgles when you run the washer, the blockage is likely further down the line.
Homeowners here also call for a new fixture, a relocated line or a basement bathroom rough-in. A plumbing installation visit starts with a look at where the existing lines run. If a stain shows up and you cannot find the source, a leak detection survey comes before any wall is opened.
Heater trouble, and when to replace instead of repair
A tank that leaks from its seam is finished, and a water heater replacement is the honest answer. A tank that only runs cold or trips usually needs a part, not a new unit.
Ask the plumber to explain which case you have before you decide.

Pour water into the drain, since a dry trap lets sewer gas rise. If the smell stays, a plumber can check the trap and the line.
Repair when the tank is sound and a part has failed. Replace when the tank leaks, rusts through, or needs repairs more than once. The data plate shows its age.
The plumber shuts off fixtures, watches the meter for movement, then listens or uses a thermal camera on the likely area. You get a location before any wall is cut.
