F.A.Q.
How often should I have my plumbing or HVAC system inspected?
Every property is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all inspection schedule. However, most properties can benefit from yearly maintenance inspections. If you notice something off before your scheduled appointment, give us a call at 214-273-3703 (Dallas metroplex) and 806-748-5345 (Lubbock, TX) for a quick response.
Why do my drains keep clogging?
Frequent clogging is often a sign of a bigger issue. If you find yourself having to regularly clean out your drains, then there’s likely a block or damage further up the line. One of our local plumbers can help inspect your pipeline and identify the root cause of clogs.
What causes low water pressure?
If you notice low water pressure in your home or office, you could have a block or a leak. Blocks and leaks can not only affect your water pressure but can also spike your water bill and potentially lead to water damage. As soon as you notice a change in water pressure, it’s crucial to schedule an inspection right away.
Why does my HVAC system make noise when the heater turns on?
Any strange or unusual sounds from your HVAC system are a sure sign of concern. There are several problems that can cause your heater to click, pop, or make other noises. To prevent any damage, keep your heater turned off until you can get a trained technician on-site to perform an inspection.
How quickly can I get CIPP Installation?
Every job is a little different, but most properties can expect CIPP installation to be complete within just a few days. Smaller repair jobs often only take a few hours. At Advanced Plumbing and HVAC, we provide a range of materials and drying techniques that can help you get new pipes as soon as possible.

Plumbing Tips
Spring
Spring is a great time to do a full inspection of your property’s plumbing. Check for any signs of damage and ensure your water bill matches your water usage. Inspecting your plumbing during a spring-cleaning day can help ensure your home is fresh inside and out.Summer
Summer can be a crucial time to practice good maintenance on your sewage and bathroom plumbing. With kids off from school and many adults taking time off work, your home can see a big increase in water usage. Performing maintenance on your pipes can help ensure they stay safe and clear during this high-traffic time.Fall
Fall cleanup is crucial to maintaining your pipes. Falling leaves and other autumn debris can easily get clogged in drains or exterior pipes. Scheduling a cleaning and keeping your pipes free of blocks is the best way to prevent damage.Winter
Frozen pipes can pose a big risk during the winter. If your property doesn’t see a lot of use during the colder months, such as a vacation home, it can be a good idea to turn the water off. Alternately, make sure you stop by at least once a week to run the water and keep your pipes from freezing over.HVAC Tips
Spring
During spring cleaning time, it’s a great idea to make sure your air ducts and HVAC filters are clean, too. After staying indoors more often during the winter, your ducts are more likely to be clogged up with dust and other allergens. Getting a professional duct cleaning and replacing your air filter can help freshen up your indoor air quality.Summer
Summer is a crucial time for your A/C. Scheduling a maintenance inspection before the high temperatures hit can be a great way to ensure your home or office stays cool and comfortable all summer long. If your A/C system is old, you may want to consider replacing it with a more energy-efficient option.Fall/Winter
As the cold months start to roll in, it’s a good time to make sure your heater is functional and safe for use. Turn on your heater a few weeks early to make sure it works. If you wait until the last minute, you could end up in an uncomfortable working or living environment while you wait for repairs.Videos
