  • How do I know if I need to call a plumber or if it is a simple fix?

    If the issue involves leaks, recurring clogs, low water pressure, gas lines, water heaters, or sewer problems, it is best to call a licensed plumber. Small issues can often indicate larger underlying problems that require professional diagnosis to prevent damage or safety risks.

  • How much does it cost to hire a plumber in Louisville, KY?

    Plumbing costs in Louisville, KY vary depending on the issue, materials, and scope of work. GT's Plumbing provides free estimates after evaluating the problem so you understand your options and costs before work begins.

  • What are the most common plumbing problems in older Louisville homes?

    Older homes in Louisville often experience issues such as aging pipes, sewer line problems, low water pressure, outdated fixtures, and water heater concerns. A professional inspection can help identify risks and recommend upgrades or repairs.

  • When should sewer or water lines be replaced instead of repaired?

    Sewer and water lines may need replacement if there are repeated backups, extensive pipe damage, corrosion, or collapsed sections. Replacement is often the most reliable long term solution when repairs become frequent or ineffective.

  • Do plumbers handle gas line work?

    Yes. Licensed plumbers can install, repair, and replace gas lines. GT's Plumbing provides gas line services for residential and small commercial properties in Louisville, KY and ensures all work meets safety and code requirements.

  • What does backflow testing do and why is it important?

    Backflow testing ensures contaminated water does not flow back into clean water supplies. It is required for many residential and commercial properties to protect public health and maintain code compliance.

  • Is it better to replace plumbing during a remodel?

    Yes. Remodeling is an ideal time to update plumbing systems, replace aging pipes, and improve layouts. Addressing plumbing during a remodel can prevent future issues and ensure systems support new fixtures and usage.

  • How long do plumbing repairs usually take?

    Repair times depend on the issue. Some service calls can be completed the same day, while replacements or remodel related work may take longer. A clear timeline is provided after evaluation.

  • Why choose a licensed plumber instead of a handyman?

    Licensed plumbers are trained to handle complex plumbing systems, meet code requirements, and ensure safety. This is especially important for gas lines, sewer systems, and water heaters.
