Reliable Plumber in Peoria, IL

A: If you have ever had a plumbing problem arise and thought to yourself, “Should I call a plumber or get my toolbelt and get to work?”, you’re not alone. It might seem simpler and more cost-effective to DIY, but DIY fixes can actually lead to more trouble down the road, whether it’s as simple as a clog coming back or a serious safety concern like a gas leak. 

The most effective and environmentally-friendly way to clean a drain is to hire a professional plumber, who can use a mix of physical methods like snaking and augering, and more modern approaches like hydro jetting. To request drain cleaning from Travco Plumbing, simply fill out our online form or give us a call.

Sewer lines are critical elements in your plumbing system. They direct waste out of your home and toward the sewer system. A damaged sewer line can be hazardous to your health and just plain gross. We offer sewer line repair services for both localized and larger-scale damage, using less invasive methods, including trenchless sewer line repair and sewer pipe lining. 

If you’ve ever felt the water in your shower get progressively colder, you know how frustrating it can be to run out of hot water. If this begins happening more frequently, or if you find yourself suddenly without hot water, there’s likely a problem with your hot water heater. Running out of hot water can be due to something as benign as high hot water demand in your home, but if you notice it happening more often, it may be due to other factors, like sediment buildup in your tank, or a declining water heater that is nearing the end of its life. 

If your water heater is under ten years old and experiencing a simple problem like a small leak or sediment buildup, a water heater repair may be the right call. If you have an older water heater with larger or more frequent problems, a water heater replacement will likely make more sense from a cost and reliability standpoint.

Signs of a gas leak include the smell of rotten eggs or sulfur, hissing sounds near gas appliances, and sudden unexplained spikes in your energy bill. If a leak is severe enough, you may even begin to notice physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. If you notice any of the above signs or simply want peace of mind, contact a licensed plumbing professional for gas leak detection services.
