How To Prevent a Clogged Drain
Have you ever flushed a toilet only to watch the bowl fill with water? We won’t tell anyone.
This problem is actually linked to having a clog somewhere in your drains. Plumbing is all linked through a series of pipes, and if one is blocked, you may see it in a totally different area. Generally, most people want to avoid the problem of a clogged drain at all costs and there are a few ways to do that:
- Install Hair Traps: Every drain will function better after the installation of hair traps. They catch any strands and allow for easy cleaning instead of the hair ending up in your pipes.
- Avoid Grease: Liquid grease will eventually harden and form a blockage. Don’t pour it into the sink. Instead, pour it into a heat-resistant cup and let it cool; then throw it away.
- Watch the Children: Young kids are known for tossing toys and other items into toilets--and then flushing. Keep an eye out for this and explain to them why flushing toys can be bad.
- Install a Water Softener: A source of clogs can usually start with minerals and sediment found in your water. Water softeners eliminate this problem and help your water taste better.
When your preventive measures just aren’t enough, our plumbers are here to help. With top quality drain cleaning solutions, we can get the water flowing into your home in no time!
Replacing vs. Repairing Your Water Heater
Don’t wait until your water heater is beyond repair before deciding to replace it… but don’t replace it if it can be repaired. This is the back and forth that many homeowners face when deciding what to do about their water heater. Here are some basic guidelines to help you in your decision:
- Age: Traditional water heaters last 8-12 years. If your water heater is around this age and having problems, it may be best to replace it
- Rust: Seeing rusty water or visually confirming corrosion on your tank means it is being overtaken by rust. This is irreversible
- Not Enough Hot Water: If your tank used to provide enough hot water and is no longer doing so, it could be an issue with the heating element or thermometer--repair it
Deciding to repair or replace a water heater is ultimately up to you. However, you should always consider the cost of the repair versus the cost of replacement, especially if your unit is aging.
