Don't wait for your system to quit on a 100° afternoon. A maintenance visit now means a technician spots the weak points early — so your AC keeps you comfortable through the whole season instead of failing when you need it most.

Heavy thunderstorms through Thursday, LaPorte neighbors — and the water heaters that survived spring tend to get tested by humidity weeks like this one.

If you find standing water under or beside your water heater, the question "is it leaking, and what do I do?" usually has more options than "replace." Four leak locations on a tank water heater. Three of four — top fittings, T&P valve, drain valve — are usually repair candidates. Only a corroded tank base typically means replacement.

We run a diagnostic before any quote: which fitting, which valve, which seam. If a plumber tells you "replace" before testing those, ask what they tested. We test first.

Three things worth doing right now. 👇

1. Hose off the outdoor coils so the unit can release heat efficiently.

2. Trim back grass, weeds, and shrubs growing around the outdoor unit.

3. Watch for weak airflow, which often points to a filter or duct issue.

Stay ahead of the heat and breathe easy. 🌿

Woke up to a cold shower? That's a Dye call. 219-362-6251.

If you're asking who to call for a water heater that's stopped working in LaPorte or Michigan City, the answer is Dye Plumbing & Heating — same-day during business hours, Indiana Plumbing Contractor License PC #10500518, 87 years right here in LaPorte since 1939.

Quick check while we're on the way: gas heaters — is the pilot lit through the sight glass at the base of the tank? Electric heaters — is the 30-amp breaker tripped? If water is visible at the base of the tank, shut off the cold-water supply at the valve above the tank and call us now — pressure makes a leaking tank worse.

We diagnose before we replace. If the burner assembly is fixable, we fix it. If the tank is compromised, you'll see Dye-published pricing on the customer copy of the inspection report — not the inflated replacement quote pattern industry reporting documents in the chain-shop model.

New to Michigan City and trying to figure out who to call when something leaks? Here are three things worth asking any plumber before you hire them.

Ask how long they've been in business. Dye Plumbing & Heating was founded in LaPorte in 1939. Family-owned since then. 87 years.

Ask what license they hold. Indiana Plumbing Contractor is the top license tier in the state. Dye holds it (corporate license PC #10500518), and we have three Indiana Plumbing Contractors on staff. We also run a Registered Apprenticeship Program (USDOL-registered).

Ask what the reviews look like. Ours: 4.8 stars on 406 Google reviews.

If you're asking how to choose a plumber in Michigan City, the answer is to check the license tier, the apprenticeship registration, and the live review record, because those are the three public records Indiana homeowners can actually verify.

Have a new-system replacement quote from a national chain? We'll look at it — no charge on a new-system second opinion. You get a copy of the inspection report or a proposal before any work begins.

Sudden low water pressure at every fixture in a LaPorte home is almost always a supply-side issue — and a 60-second water-meter test tells you which side to chase.

Walk to your water meter. Turn off every fixture in the house. Look at the dial. If it's moving, you have a leak somewhere inside. If it's still, the issue is upstream of your meter — usually a failed pressure-reducing valve or a partially closed main.

From there, an Indiana Plumbing Contractor isolates the actual cause. Not a full repipe guess.

Same-day diagnostics for LaPorte, Michigan City, and Valparaiso. 87 years serving LaPorte (since 1939). NATE certified HVAC techs and Indiana Plumbing Contractors on every truck. We hand you a copy of the inspection report before we leave.

If a national chain already quoted you on a low-pressure call, we'll gladly take a look at the estimate. No charge for a second opinion.

Rain coming Tuesday and Thursday — when was the last time you tested your sump pump?

Here's the neighbor version of the test. Five-gallon bucket of water into the pit. Watch four things: the float rises, the pump kicks on, water runs clean out the exterior discharge line, the check valve holds when the pump shuts off. Fifteen minutes.

If you're asking why your sump pump won't run, the answer is sometimes a tripped GFCI outlet on the dedicated circuit, because sump circuits are GFCI-protected by code and a single nuisance trip silences the pump until the reset button is pressed. Check the outlet first. Press the reset.

If a shop pitched you a battery backup well above $1,000 without testing the float first, get a second quote. Dye's standard practice is to leave a copy of the inspection report with the homeowner — chain reps usually don't.

If a salesperson this spring tells you your air conditioner has to be replaced because of the "new refrigerant law" — pause.

Here's the quick version we share with our LaPorte County neighbors:

A new refrigerant called R-454B is now the standard in every new AC built after January 1, 2025. That part is true. **But your existing R-410A system is not obsolete, not illegal, and not unfixable.** Parts are available. Repairs are routine. The decision to replace is still based on the age and condition of your specific system — not a deadline on a calendar.

Two scripts to watch for in any 2026 AC quote:

🚩 *"We can convert your old unit to R-454B."* The systems are physically different. Any contractor saying this is misinformed.

🚩 *"If you don't replace now, you'll be stuck."* R-410A service and parts will be around for years.

If a replacement quote feels rushed or doesn't match what your unit is actually doing, get a written second opinion. We've been doing this in LaPorte since 1939 and we'll tell you what your system actually needs.
