FAQs

With over 50 years of combined experience, we're here to provide reliable solutions. Here are some of the most common questions our clients ask, along with our expert answers.

  • Why is my toilet constantly running, and how can Layman's Contracting fix it?

    A constantly running toilet is a common issue in Virginia homes, often wasting significant amounts of water and increasing your utility bills. This usually indicates a problem with the flapper valve not sealing properly, a faulty fill valve, or an improperly adjusted fill tube. At Layman's Contracting, our experienced plumbers in Wirtz, VA, can quickly diagnose the exact cause. We'll expertly replace worn-out flappers, adjust fill valves, or address any other underlying issues to ensure your toilet functions efficiently and stops wasting water, saving you money and preventing potential damage to your home's plumbing system.

  • I'm experiencing low water pressure throughout my home. What could be the cause, and how can Layman's Contracting help?

    Low water pressure is a frustrating plumbing problem for homeowners in Virginia. It can stem from various issues, including mineral buildup in pipes, a leaking pipe somewhere in your system, a malfunctioning pressure regulator, or even a problem with your municipal water supply. Our skilled plumbers at Layman's Contracting specialize in comprehensive water pressure diagnostics. We use advanced techniques to pinpoint the root cause, whether it requires clearing sediment, repairing leaks, or adjusting/replacing pressure regulators.


    We're dedicated to restoring optimal water pressure to your Wirtz, VA home, ensuring comfortable showers and efficient appliance operation.

  • How can I prevent clogged drains in my kitchen and bathroom, and when should I call a professional plumber like Layman's Contracting for drain cleaning?

    Preventing clogged drains is key to maintaining a healthy plumbing system in your Virginia home. For kitchen sinks, avoid pouring grease or coffee grounds down the drain. For bathroom drains, consider using drain screens to catch hair and soap scum. While minor clogs can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or a baking soda and vinegar solution, persistent or recurring blockages indicate a deeper issue. That's when to call Layman's Contracting. Our expert drain cleaning services in Wirtz, VA, utilize professional tools like drain snakes and hydro-jetting to thoroughly clear stubborn clogs, remove buildup, and ensure your drains flow freely, preventing future headaches and potential pipe damage.

  • My water heater isn't producing enough hot water, or it's making strange noises. Does Layman's Contracting offer water heater repair and replacement services in Virginia?

    Water heater issues are a common concern for families in the greater Wirtz, VA area, especially when hot water becomes inconsistent or disappears entirely. A lack of hot water or unusual noises like rumbling or banging can signal sediment buildup, a faulty heating element (for electric heaters), a bad dip tube (for gas heaters), or a tripped safety switch. Layman's Contracting provides comprehensive water heater services, including expert diagnostics, efficient repairs, and reliable replacements for both traditional tank and tankless water heaters. With our extensive experience in Virginia plumbing, we'll recommend the most energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for your home, ensuring you have reliable hot water when you need it.

  • What constitutes a plumbing emergency, and does Layman's Contracting offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services in Wirtz, VA?

    A plumbing emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to prevent significant property damage or health risks to your Virginia home. This includes burst pipes, overflowing toilets that won't stop, sewage backups, or major leaks causing flooding. Yes, Layman's Contracting proudly offers 24-hour emergency plumbing services to our clients in Wirtz, VA, and the surrounding areas.
