Expert tips

We’re in business for one reason – to help you with any and all plumbing needs. But we know your money and time are hard-earned, and if we can help you avoid an unnecessary visit, we want to do that. There are a few preventative measures you can take so that you can save your call for the big problems. As a general rule, seeing water anywhere water isn’t supposed to be is never a good thing. Don’t shrug it off – take a second look. Around the base of a toilet, under a sink, spots in a first-floor ceiling under the bathroom…all could be indicators of a leak easily fixed if it’s caught early enough. If you never heard it from your parents, you likely heard it from a landlord – please don’t pour grease down the drain! It may take a little more time and effort to get that bacon fat into the garbage, but it’s more than worth it to keep your pipes clean and clear. It doesn’t take much to build up and cause some big problems. Ever wonder why those pipes under the sink are curved? They keep sewer gas from leaking into your home, while still allowing water to pass and drain. Most people store cleaning supplies and other household items under sinks, but that can turn into a headache. Over time, those pipes can get knocked loose, allowing gases and water to leak slowly into your home. It’s a good idea to find some closet or pantry space to store those supplies. Finally, never attempt a big and/or complicated plumbing job yourself. There are projects that are better left to the professionals, and we would love to help you. Not sure if you need us? Give us a call! We’d love to discuss your plumbing questions!
