Schuler Service has been perfecting the art of plumbing since 1923. Our industry has continued to change since then, with new standards and more advanced technology to help your home stay safe. But one thing has remained constant: our dedication to providing the best plumbing solutions. You've got questions, we've got answers!
Types of Water Heaters
There are two main types of water heaters: conventional tank heaters and tankless heaters. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. If you're not sure which one is best for your home, let us know and we'll be happy to help you decide.
Conventional tank heaters
The most common water heater found in homes is the conventional tank heater. These units heat incoming water from your home's plumbing system and store it in a large insulated tank until ready for use. The conventional water heater can be fueled by natural gas, propane, fuel oil, or electricity. You should be aware of the fuel prices in your area. Electric heaters are generally a larger investment, more so than the other types. One drawback with conventional water heaters is that during high use, they can easily run out of hot water. Family members may have to wait quite a while for a shower or to wash dishes once the tank has been emptied of hot water.
Tankless water heaters
These tankless units are becoming more popular with homeowners. With this system, hot water is provided on demand and supplies about two to five gallons per minute. The system has larger upfront costs than conventional water heaters, but provides phenomenal energy savings in the long run. Because these units are tankless, energy isn't wasted with continuous reheating of unused water. Hot water is almost always available. This system is ideal for small households, but can prove troublesome with larger families that use a lot of hot water. If the tankless system is unable to keep up with your family's hot water needs, additional heaters can be installed in strategic areas around the home, such as the laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom. Keep in mind that water heater repairs and installations can be challenging. Whether tank or tankless, water heaters are complex systems that require professional assistance.
Allentown Sump Pump Repair & Installation Services
Sump pumps are crucial in keeping water out of the basement of your home.
At Schuler Service, we provide expert sump pump repairs and installations in Allentown. Take a look at our client reviews to see what your neighbors are saying about our work!
Pumping water out of a home is the best way to keep your basement dry.
The sump pump sends water from a basement to another location outside the home. The unit is placed in a sump pit used to contain any excess groundwater or rainwater.
Things to Consider
Your home may already have a sump pit in the basement. If a sump pit is present, then all that will be needed is a new sump pump. A home that does not have a sump pit requires a professional who is able to retrofit a basement. Homeowners who have explored other options for keeping their basement dry will need to consider a sump pump. This is a great way to control the water that collects in your basement.
Types of Sump Pumps
When it comes to installing a new sump pump, you have many options to choose from.
Pedestal sump pump
This type of sump pump is often referred to as an upright sump pump. The pump motor is at the top of a column that is connected to the casing for the pump. A typical unit will sit above the sump pit and the basement floor. The motor needs to be placed above the floor, as it is not protected from damage that is caused by water.
Submersible sump pump
A sump pump that is submersible will fit inside the sump pit. The motor for the unit is kept inside a watertight enclosure to protect it from damage. This type of sump pump detects the water levels. A submersible pump will not be seen when a cover is placed over the sump pit.
Water-powered sump pump
A sump pump that runs on water is a better option than a pedestal and submersible device. This device runs on well water or city water instead of electricity. If your home has the correct water pressure to run a water-powered sump pump, then this may be an option to consider. Another option is to install a water-powered backup. This will continue to power a conventional sump pump when the power goes out.
Battery-powered backup
A sump pump with a battery backup will be able to continue running if the electricity goes out. Regular sump pumps will run on electricity and will stop running when the power stops. If a sump pump stops working, flooding will likely result. A battery-powered backup is designed to activate when the electricity goes out.

Allentown Sewer Line Repair Services

Get in touch with Schuler Service in Allentown for expert sewer line repairs.
Pipe Repair Methods
Our team at Schuler Service provides professional repairs and replacements for damaged sewer lines. We are licensed and fully insured. You can rest assured that your sewer line problems will be with expert efficiency.
What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
The following situations can disrupt the integrity of sewer lines:
Substandard piping materials
These often corrode and deteriorate quickly.
Grease buildup
Clogged sewer lines from grease buildup and other foreign matter can stop sewer line flow, requiring repairs.
Soil shifts
Shifting soils and ground that freezes and thaws can cause pipes to offset, shift, crack, break, or completely collapse.
Corrosion
Broken, cracked, and leaking pipes can also be caused by corrosion.
Leaking pipe joints
This is a common problem caused by a disruption in the seal where sections of pipe have been fitted together.
Bellied pipes
A pipe that has a section that dips below the line of the other piping is called a bellied pipe. Bellied pipes can collect paper waste and other materials that slow or interrupt water flow.
Invasive tree roots
Pipes that are buried near trees can incur problems with aggressive roots that sink into the pipes, causing damage and blockage.

Allentown Clogged Toilet Repair Services
Now that it's happened and nothing you seem to be doing is working, you're getting nervous—the toilet is definitely clogged. You and the family have a busy schedule, and you all need to get into the bathroom before the day gets going. Getting professional help is more important than you may realize--call our technicians at Schuler Service for expert clogged toilet repairs in Allentown, PA.
What Causes a Clogged Toilet?
Unfortunately, most people tend to think that if we want to get rid of something for good, the toilet is the place to go. We don't usually realize that toilets were not made to accommodate everything—just some things. It's this kind of mentality that convinces us it's okay to dump cat litter, paper towel, and an excess of toilet paper into the toilet; however, these things build up and ultimately create clogs. This is especially the case when it comes to older toilets that have been worn down through time or aren't technically qualified to handle foreign material. Adding these materials also adds to the natural buildup of minerals that cling to your toilet's jets and pipes.
Why You Shouldn't Wait to Call A Professional
Leaving a clogged toilet without attention for any length of time will not only make things chaotic in the house, but it could also pave way for a more complex, expensive dilemma. Your clogged toilet could have everybody in the house scrambling around, it could permanently damage the toilet altogether, and overflow could spill out onto your floors and into your walls, ruining everything within proximity. When you call a professional plumber, you'll not only save yourself from having to face the problem, but you'll also save yourself money, time, effort, and stress.
Call Us Today!
When your toilet becomes clogged with foreign junk, don't wait for the problem to get worse. Our technicians have seen and dealt with many clients who have waited too long—and consequently had to suffer longer. Don't let that happen to you. With just one phone call, all of your problems can be resolved with friendly, professional help. Call us today and get your toilet unclogged the right way! Our technicians at Schuler Service are skilled experts in their field. They have been trained to handle even the toughest toilet clogs the right way. With state of the art equipment, our technicians take away all of the stress and frustration that would otherwise completely consume your house or facility, and replace it with a smooth handling of the situation.

Keep your Home Safe: Trust your Tilework to Experienced Professionals
Trust your tilework project to experienced professionals. If the job is not done properly, it can cause many problems. Not only will your floor look messy, but it can be dangerous for people to walk on. Our team of licensed professionals will make sure your home or office looks fantastic with our careful tilework service. We can completely remodel your floor space, or we can perform repairs to an existing tile job. To ensure a successful tile job, we first prepare by removing any old flooring and make sure the exposed surface is smooth and even. Then we begin laying the tiles. Once they are set, the thinset and grout will need time to dry. During this period, avoid stepping on the new flooring.
Signs You Need New Tiles Installed
Older homes may have years of damage to the existing tilework from natural wear and tear. If you've had a previously bad tile job, the grout can wear out between the tiles. Older tiles or poorly laid tiles can also shift and break, causing your flooring to become a hazard for anyone walking through. Your bathroom is an area where new tilework is important to preserve your home's safety. Cracked or missing tiles on your bathroom wall allow moisture to enter, leading to mold growth. It also softens the thinset, which causes more tiles to fall from your walls. If you're noticing any cracked tiles in your bathroom, contact our team as soon as possible. We will inspect the problem area and explain what needs to be done.
New Tiles Mean a Cleaner, More Vibrant Home!
Tile floors are ideal for a busy home. Unlike carpet, tiles don't absorb odors and stains. Tiles are also easier to clean. Our showroom features a variety of sizes and lively colors to suit any home. Whether you're looking to add a special touch with accents or backsplashes, or you've decided on a more basic design, we provide the inspiration to transform your home or business into a stylish new space.

Allentown Drain Cleaning Services
Turn to Schuler Service for reliable drain cleaning services in Allentown, PA. Foreign substances like hair, grease, or food may cause your home's drainage system to back up, resulting in a clogged drain. Normally, you'll be alerted to a clogged drain when your sink starts to back up, or you notice an unsavory smell coming from your pipes. Your toilet may also overflow.
The Drain Cleaning Process
Drain cleaning is relatively painless and simple. First, our technician clears out the pipe and determines the origin of the clog whether it is outside or inside the home. After clearing the clog, the pipe may be inspected using a camera. This allows us to make sure that the pipe is completely cleared of the obstruction. We will flush the line with a unique chemical featuring a combination of natural bacteria and enzymes that assists in the digestion of organic waste located in your home's drainage system. If the clog is detected outside the home, it is most likely due to invasive tree roots that have grown through the piping. We have many tools at our disposal to fix this issue, including a drain camera, augers, cabling equipment and hydrojetting. Our clients frequently ask us if we recommend any over-the-counter drain clearing chemicals. The truth is, these everyday drain cleaners may do more harm than good. They can cause your pipes to weaken over time, leading to leaks. Our technicians use "safer" tools to clear out your drains, such as augers and specialized snaking equipment that won't leave your pipes weakened.
Keep Your Drains Healthy with Routine Maintenance
Many homeowners do not realize that clogged drains can be prevented with basic maintenance! At Schuler Service, we answer a lot of calls from homeowners with major drain issues and backed-up pipes that could have been prevented with proper maintenance. Let us help you find problems before they occur with regular drain cleaning services.

Allentown Hydro-jetting Services
Many homeowners will face some serious plumbing clogs at some point in their life. If you have never heard of hydro-jetting, you may want to learn how this service can help your plumbing system. At Schuler Service, we offer top hydro-jetting services in Allentown, PA.
What is Hydro-jetting?
Think of hydro-jetting as high-pressure washing for your pipes. Our machines can blast water at up to 4,200 psi, depending on the level of buildup. Thicker layers of grime and debris will require a more powerful pressure. Our technicians at Schuler Service are experts in the hydro-jetting method and will make sure to handle the process appropriately.
When Do You Need Hydro-jetting?
Over time, grime lodged within your plumbing system can prevent your pipes from properly discharging water. Tree roots may also invade your pipes and leave debris. These factors create a difficult situation for your plumbing system, and you don't want to wait until your pipes become completely clogged with layers of grime. Even businesses and large organizations will need the hydrojet service. Commercial buildings and offices usually have wider pipes, but they are still vulnerable to grime and debris buildup. And since larger buildings have more occupants and thus more water-users, the pipes may experience blockages at an even faster rate. Hydro-jetting is the ideal drain cleaning method for these large-scale operations. When you call us for hydro-jetting services, we will blast away major blockages and restore functionality to your home or business.

Also to Consider: Upgrade your Heating System

Let us know, and our technicians will take a look at your current heating system and extend it to your bathroom, if possible.

Allentown Repiping Services
The age of your home usually determines the quality of your plumbing. If you've recently purchased a new home, make sure to pay attention to your plumbing system and ask for professional help if you think something may be wrong. At Schuler Service, we provide quality repiping services in Allentown, PA. Take a look at our client reviews to see what your neighbors are saying about our work!
Do You Have Old, Vulnerable Pipes?
Many types of materials have been used for plumbing pipes over the years. Repiping a home may be necessary based on the type of pipe currently in place. If you're concerned about the type of piping material used in your home, our technicians will come by and examine your plumbing system to determine the type of piping in place and if you need repiping services.
Lead and galvanized pipes
Two types of plumbing pipe commonly found in older homes are lead and galvanized metal. One issue with galvanized pipes is rusting and discolored water. Lead and galvanized pipes typically have a lifespan of 50 to 75 years. However, these types of piping are dangerous because they are prone to rust. It's common among homeowners to replace them with newer materials.
Copper pipes
The most common piping material used in homes is copper. Copper does not typically need to be replaced unless is has not been adequately maintained. One of the worst elements for copper piping is hard water. The minerals and metals contained in hard water can lead to blockages and possibly burst pipes. Calcium is another harsh mineral found in hard water that can build up in your pipes over time. If the calcium deposits are not removed or treated, then you may need repiping done to repair your system.
Replace Your Old Pipes with a Modern Solution
The newest piping material used in both homes and commercial buildings is PEX. PEX pipes are durable, strong, and resistant to freezing. This means there will be little chance of pipes bursting. The material can be easily connected to existing plumbing in your home or business, so appliances will not need to be replaced during repiping.
Reasons for Repiping
Degeneration of pipes is the most common reason for repiping. You can tell that your pipes are in bad shape if they are leaking, your water looks rusty or has dark flakes appearing in them, or you experience problems with your water flow (due to calcium deposits). If you suspect a problem with the plumbing in your home, we can help. Our technicians will replace your old pipes with newer, more durable materials for a smooth-working plumbing system.
Allentown Bathtub to Shower Conversion Services
Bathtubs take up valuable space and make your bathroom seem cramped.
Our team at Schuler Kitchens & Baths provides the best quality bathtub to shower conversions in Allentown, PA.
The Conversion Process
Bathtub to shower conversions require an extensive bit of planning to ensure that certain functions of the shower do not interfere with other utilities in the bathroom. For example, the shower door must be able to open freely without a toilet or sink getting in the way. After the planning process is complete, our technicians will handle all of the piping, tiling, and grouting to create your perfect shower! We'll help you plan the whole conversion process to give you options that fit your budget yet allow you to incorporate your personal style.

Benefits of Converting from Tub to Shower
Start taking a shower...not a bath! Showers make your bathroom more functional, which is why bathtub to shower conversions are among the most popular home improvement projects. If you're ready to replace your old, bulky bathtub, we'll help you through the process, from which showerhead to choose to custom frameless shower doors and enclosures! Aside from giving your bathroom more space, shower conversions provide additional benefits:
Increased home value
Installing a shower is an excellent way of modernizing your home and taking advantage of new developments. Outdated tubs don't just take up space, but they also present an eyesore if not properly maintained (such as mildew blots on your caulking). Showers improve the overall look, functionality, and value of your bathroom!
Less water use
Taking a bath typically requires about 50 or more gallons of water, while an average shower only uses about 10-25 gallons. That's a significant amount saved in water use! Contemporary showerheads are able to conserve water much better than before, so installing a new shower is an economical choice that will help you cut down on your water bill.
Opportunity for creative remodeling
Because bathtub to shower conversions open up all this free space in your bathroom, you'll have the opportunity to create the ideal shower area. We can install a shower head in the ceiling, or add a bench in to take up a whole side. Showers also make your bathroom more handicap-accessible, and you can tailor your shower area to meet specific demands.
Allentown Garbage Disposal Repair & Replacement Services
Our technicians at Schuler Service provide expert garbage disposal repair services in Allentown, PA.
The reasons for repairing or replacing your garbage disposal are less obvious than you might think.
Sure, garbage disposals help eliminate bad odors from your kitchen sink and can lighten your weekly trash load. But did you know an efficient garbage disposal can even protect your home's plumbing system?
How Garbage Disposals Protect Your Plumbing System
Your garbage disposal is more than just a mere convenience. Garbage disposals can be used to prevent major drain clogs, and in the process help you avoid decreased water pressure, pipe leakage, and potential water contamination. You may be wondering how this works. Well, small food particles make their way down your kitchen sink on a daily basis, and they tend to remain there over time. Running a little hot water through won't be enough to eliminate this sort of debris. If these food particles remain in your drain system, they can create serious clogs. A properly functioning garbage disposal can prevent these clogs from forming with regular grinding.
It's Time to Protect Your Garbage Disposal
Turns out your garbage disposal could be your drain's best friend. Whether you're looking to decrease a negative drain odor, reduce your garbage load, or protect your drains from clogs, make sure you get quality garbage disposal repair and replacement. Our team at Schuler Service will help you through the process. If you're looking for a way to extend the overall longevity of your pipes, look no further than a versatile garbage disposal—and make sure to keep it in top condition with proper repair and replacement!

Top Energy-saving Electrical Updates for your Home
Although big-ticket, eco-friendly home improvements such as solar panel installations and geothermal heating systems are gaining in popularity, they don't necessarily fit the average homeowner's budget. However, you can still make changes on a smaller-scale that add up to big energy savings. Here are three simple upgates that can be performed by our experienced electricians at an affordable rate.
Installing a Ceiling Fan
Installing a ceiling fan is one of the easiest, most cost-effective updates you can make to improve the energy efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. Whether you have forced-air, window units, or no air conditioning at all, an appropriate-sized ceiling fan will cool your space during the hottest summer months at a low cost to you. Improved airflow throughout your home means thermostats can be set to several degrees higher than usual, without compromising comfort. Ceiling fans can even help heat your home when set to reverse during the cooler months; backwards flow pushes the warm air that collects at the top of rooms down to where it's needed.
Adding and Updating Outlets
Our electricians can install and update outlets in a matter of hours, for a surprisingly low cost. More outlets in more convenient locations throughout your home can make life easier and make your home more attractive. They also provide an opportunity for electricians to better insulate the outlet boxes located inside walls. Outlets located on exterior walls are likely to be a source of drafts, especially in older homes; properly insulating them from the inside out prevents these drafts and can lower your home heating and cooling bill significantly.
Updating Switches
Adding dimmer switches to many of your home's lighting fixtures is a quick update that will save you energy and provide more flexibility in your home's lighting options. Instead of a traditional binary on/off switch, dimmer switches allow users to set lights based on a range of bright to dim settings--meaning you're never using too much light at once. Luckily, compact-fluorescent light (CFL) and other energy-efficient light bulbs are increasingly available in dimmable options, too, affording you even more bang for your eco-friendly buck. All of these electrical updates can be performed quickly, easily, and affordably by our licensed electricians.

Allentown Boiler Services
Boilers are an effective, efficient, and dependable way to heat your home. However, with central heating as the standard in homes these days, it's becoming rarer to find reliable boiler technicians. Fortunately, if you need boiler services in Allentown, you can count on Schuler Service for all of your boiler needs.
Keep Your Home Safe With Regular Boiler Service
Even if you are not currently experiencing any problems with your boiler, it's recommended that you schedule regular maintenance services with our boiler specialists. With proper care, your boiler becomes easier to maintain. You will also lower the risk of unforeseen problems. It's important to check up on your heating throughout the year, not just during the winter, and call a professional immediately if you notice any problems. A cost-efficient way of keeping up with your boiler maintenance is with an annual cleaning and service of your boiler. This will save you from emergency situations and repairs that can be damaging to your budget. Ask about our annual boiler cleaning and service program to protect yourself from an avoidable disaster. Extra tip: In addition to the recommended boiler services, a carbon monoxide alarm is also a good investment if you have an oil or gas boiler. A poorly maintained boiler can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Stay safe by taking all the recommended precautions.

Signs Your Boiler Needs Repair
You should always be aware of how your boiler normally functions and take note of any changes in its performance. You will notice changes much more quickly during the winter. Older boilers are also more likely to breakdown and have more issues as their parts gradually wear out. They are often not as energy-efficient as newer models, so continuing to use an outdated boiler may be costing you on your monthly energy bills. Our technicians will help you choose the ideal new boiler and install it for you. Be on the lookout for these common trouble signs:
Unfamiliar sounds coming from your boiler
Faulty thermostat
This is a seemingly small problem that can quickly cause your boiler to overheat and stop working entirely.
Water accumulation on or around the unit

Allentown Water Filtration System Installation & Repair
No matter where you live, a water filtration system should be a priority investment. It not only adds value to your home, but it also keeps you and your family healthy with filtered water. If you need a water filtration system installed or repaired in your Allentown neighborhood, give our technicians at Schuler Service a call. Take a look at our client reviews to see what your neighbors are saying about our work!
Filtered Water Keeps the Filth Off
A water filtration system cleanses the water in your home. To put it in context: The fruits and vegetables you rinse from your kitchen sink are susceptible to eroding pipes, filaments in the water, and other contaminants. Now imagine drinking that water or showering with it. Having a water filtration system in place will reduce your chances of coming into contact with debris-ridden water. Funny tasting water is the least of your problems if you neglect to install to a water filtration system or repair a faulty one. Leaving your water unfiltered can cause health problems and poor digestion. It can improperly clean your food and dishes. It can even harm your plumbing system over time. You might not see the effects immediately, but you certainly will with time.
You Just Installed a New Water Filter System. Now What?
Fortunately, professional technicians can easily install water filtration systems in your home. The benefits are quickly apparent. Your water will taste fresh and clean. Your bathroom routine will be more pleasant. Your cooking and cleaning will benefit as well. Plus, your plumbing will be even more protected. The benefits far outweigh the slight time you will have to set aside for the installation process. In no time at all, you will be enjoying crisp, clean water direct from your own pipes. This can even save you on continuous bottled water purchases.

How Water Softeners Can Help You and your Home
Water softeners can be incorporated into your main water line and change the quality of water you drink and shower or wash with. Basically, water softeners remove hard minerals (like iron) from your water supply, giving you clearer and cleaner water.
Want smoother hair and skin—naturally?
Many people have noted that they have smoother and softer hair as a result of water softeners. You may notice that your skin also becomes healthier and smoother from this system. In addition, there have been studies indicating that soft water can make soaps more effective at killing bacteria on your skin.
Want to keep your plumbing pipes strong?
Water softeners remove unwanted minerals from your water on a regular basis, which is good news for your pipes. This reduces the load that is placed on the piping system in your home. In turn, your pipes will last longer and won't degrade as easily over time. To better maintain the quality of your pipes, you will want to make sure your water softener system is working efficiently at all times and call for repairs if any problems come up.

Types of Water Heaters
There are two main types of water heaters: conventional tank heaters and tankless heaters. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. If you're not sure which one is best for your home, let us know and we'll be happy to help you decide.
Conventional tank heaters
The most common water heater found in homes is the conventional tank heater. These units heat incoming water from your home's plumbing system and store it in a large insulated tank until ready for use. The conventional water heater can be fueled by natural gas, propane, fuel oil, or electricity. You should be aware of the fuel prices in your area. Electric heaters are generally a larger investment, more so than the other types. One drawback with conventional water heaters is that during high use, they can easily run out of hot water. Family members may have to wait quite a while for a shower or to wash dishes once the tank has been emptied of hot water.
Tankless water heaters
These tankless units are becoming more popular with homeowners. With this system, hot water is provided on demand and supplies about two to five gallons per minute. The system has larger upfront costs than conventional water heaters, but provides phenomenal energy savings in the long run. Because these units are tankless, energy isn't wasted with continuous reheating of unused water. Hot water is almost always available. This system is ideal for small households, but can prove troublesome with larger families that use a lot of hot water. If the tankless system is unable to keep up with your family's hot water needs, additional heaters can be installed in strategic areas around the home, such as the laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom. Keep in mind that water heater repairs and installations can be challenging. Whether tank or tankless, water heaters are complex systems that require professional assistance.
Allentown Tankless Water Heater Installation & Repair Services
Many homes are starting to catch on to tankless water heaters.
If you're looking for professional tankless water heater services in Allentown, it's best to find out as much as you can about the unit to determine if it's right for your home. Contact Schuler Service for help with installations and repairs.
What's So Great About Tankless Water Heaters?
Plenty! The beauty of tankless heaters is that you never run out of hot water, and you can digitally control the water temperature. This translates to lower energy bills and plenty of money saved in the long run. Tankless water heaters can last for 20 years or more if properly maintained. That's almost twice the lifespan of conventional tank water heaters! It's crucial that you keep your water heater in good condition, and look to professional technicians to handle any maintenance needs or repairs. You don't want to pay someone to practice on your water heater! The last thing you need is exposure to carbon monoxide due to a poorly installed or improperly vented unit.
Signs of Trouble? Get Your Heater Repaired ASAP!
It's best to contact one of our trained technicians if you notice extremely hot water coming from your faucets. This may be an element or thermostat problem. If you notice that the water is not coming out at the proper temperature or it just doesn't seem hot enough, contact Schuler Service for a professional evaluation. If you notice cracking noise coming from your water heater (particularly from a gas water heater), you may have excessive magnesium and calcium build up in the water heater. If you have inadequate hot water pressure it may mean your coil may need cleaning. Or there could be an obstruction on the outlet of your water heater.
