We discuss common plumbing issues, upgrades, and solutions with Danielle and Warren DeHaven, owners of Charleston’s only full-service plumbing company, Charles Towne Plumbing.
He Said: Because tanked water heaters are high-pressure vessels, this method increases the potential for catastrophic damage from leaks. Contact us to begin your transition to a tankless system.
She Said: Tankless water heaters are far superior to standard electric models. They don’t require a gas tank, so you’ll never run out of hot water.
He Said: Body sprayers and additional shower heads create a spa-like shower experience for homeowners, enhancing their shower experience. Whatever your upgrade, we’re here to help you integrate this modern technology into your home.
She Said: Touchless kitchen faucets enhance the style and efficiency of the prep space. As a clean freak, I appreciate the touchless option, especially when my hands are dirty from food prep.
He Said: Whole-home systems filter and purify water throughout the home. This is especially beneficial for showers, as it reduces exposure to toxins and calcium deposits. The overall quality of the water extends the life of appliances and is also better for hair and skin health.
She Said: Point-of-use water filtration provides clean drinking water from a single location in the home, typically the kitchen. Because drinking water contains many chemicals, it filters out contaminants while improving the smell and taste by reducing toxins and metals.
He Said: Homeowners can prevent future issues through our free whole-home plumbing inspections, available as part of our annual membership program.
She Said: Don’t wait to call a professional if you notice issues such as gurgling, running, or slow drains, water spots, or dripping faucets. These are often symptoms of a more significant issue.
