Plumbing Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering what’s causing that strange noise in your pipes?  Or why you are experiencing low water pressure during your morning shower and slow drains after it?

Take a look through our Plumbing FAQ’s for dozens more questions and answers. If you don’t find yours, send us a note and we’ll add it.

Heating System Frequently Asked Questions

What’s better, oil or gas furnaces? Is it safe to re-light my own pilot light? How often do I really need to service my hot water heater? The list of common heating system  related questions is long and varied!

What a nice young man came to fix our mini split. The company responded to our call with a couple days and Sean was able to resolve our issue and show us how to clean the filters ourselves. I would definitely recommend ClaytonMcKay services !

The service was prompt, professional, and complete. Two hours after I called them indicating that I had a leak in my bathroom someone was here. It was somewhat complicated in that the leak was coming from an upstairs bathroom. However, Rob was able to diagnose the issue, especially since it potentially involved, shutting off the water to my entire condominium building. He was able to track the leak to a relatively innocuous problem within my unit, so we did not need to involve the whole building. As of yet I have not received the price, but the promptness and the professionalism displayed makes that a very distant second consideration to using this company

I have have had a very positive experience and now renewing my contract for a third year. The brilliant tech Adam found an issue with my system because he is thorough and doesn't rush through inspections. It was covered under warranty, but I would have had a miserable summer if he hadn't been alert. Adam trained Kim and together they make a great team. In an emergency, the response is immediate! JP fixed a problem today and did a great job!

Nick was timely and very knowledgeable. He trouble-shot our AC unit and listened to our description and ultimately resolved the issue. In addition we decided to take advantage of the annual maintenance program available through the company.
