Do you know how to tell when it’s time for a drain cleaning? Better yet, do you know what to do when you need a drain cleaning?
We’re going to share some signs below that indicate it is, in fact, time for you to call a plumber for this service. In the meantime, we want to stress how important it is that you contact a professional when you’re ready for a thorough drain cleaning.
The reason for this is because store-bought drain cleaning solutions are really no solution at all. They can eat away at the lining of your plumbing and even cause worse clogs later on. Instead, you want a pro to come in and either use drain snaking or hydro-jetting tools to relieve the clog and potentially prevent further clogs from forming.
Read on to learn the signs that it’s time to go ahead a call a pro!
The short answer to this is, “yes.” Why? Because of something called hard water and scaling. You’ve likely heard these terms before, but maybe you didn’t quite understand what they meant. Hard water refers to a water supply that has a large amount of minerals in it—namely calcium, magnesium, and iron. For most people, this is perfectly safe to ingest. But it’s not so great for your plumbing system, including the water heater.
If you’ve come across this blog post, we’re going to guess that your bathroom doesn’t look the way you would like it to. Maybe it’s not as functional as it could be, or you’re having trouble moving around the space easily. Depending on what your specific needs are, a bathroom remodel can be a great idea! After all, aside from your kitchen, the bathroom areas are the most widely used rooms in the home. Remodeling can give you a beautiful new space to enjoy.
Are you considering remodeling your kitchen? Since they’re often at the center of a home and occupants usually spend a good majority of their time in this area, it makes sense that you want yours to look nice.
Have you ever been alone at home, enjoying some peace and quiet when all of the sudden you hear a metallic clang from seemingly inside the walls? The good news is, it’s probably not ghostly activity or even intruders you’re hearing. It’s most likely something called water hammer, which happens inside your plumber system.
You may have heard the term hard water at some point, yet not really understood exactly what it was. That’s okay, we’re here to help! Hard water isn’t something that’s harmful to you or your family, so let’s get that out of the way. It simply describes water with a high level of minerals in it—namely magnesium, calcium, and iron.
If we asked you what the #1 most common and annoying plumbing problem is, what would your answer be? Our answer would be a drain clog—that’s what we hear from most of our customers. Just about everyone has dealt with a clogged up or slow drain at some point in their home—and we certainly deal with a lot of drain clogs in the homes we serve.
One of the most common ways that homeowners treat their clogged or dirty drains is with store-bought chemical drain cleaners. But, this can be a mistake. Actually, it probably will be a mistake.
