Don't Forget About Plumbers!

Show Gratitude for These Necessary Plumbing Services

Every homeowner who has ever dealt with a major plumbing problem within their home understands the amount of thankfulness that comes from a plumbing job done right. The sense of relief and security is incredible. Don’t forget to thank a local plumber for the work they do.

The Urgency of the Clogged Toilet

toilet As citizens of a first-world country, Americans tend to take flushing toilets and indoor plumbing for granted. It almost always works as it should and requires little to no maintenance beyond cleaning. The key word in this scenario is “almost.” When a toilet is clogged and does not function as it should, it can upset a whole household. 

Often a clog can simply be removed with a handy dandy plunger, but there are situations where this is impossible. A reliable, local plumber can make quick work of this problem. Clogged toilet repair can involve something as simple as using a pipe snake or require something as involved as removing the toilet to remove a foreign object or replacing the wax ring. 

The Chilly Inconvenience of a Broken Water Heaterwater heater

There are only a few scenarios in which a person might choose to have a cold shower or wash clothing in cold water, but people tend to prefer having that choice available rather than not having the option. If a water heater needs repair, it can cause severe inconvenience for a household. 

With certain problems, it can even be dangerous. Here are some signs that a homeowner may need to call a plumbing professional for water heater repair:

Some of these may result from an old or damaged tank that may need replacement. An intelligent homeowner would discuss options for water heater installation with a plumbing contractor. New tankless water heaters can be a great option for energy and space savings.

The Tragedy of Sewer Line Issues

Very few plumbing problems are as detrimental to property and quality of life as an issue with the sewer line. Sewer backups can not only cause water damage but also lead to health problems as well if they are not properly dealt with. Mold and mildew growth can be exacerbated, and new microbes can be introduced to the home from such backups. If an aging pipe breaks underground, there is no place for the sewage to go except into the yard or back up the drain. Plumbing professionals have the expertise to deal with these issues, so the homeowner does not have to. 

  • Sewer Line Unclogging: For severe clogs outside the home, a plumber will typically use either a pipe auger(pipe snake) or hydro jetting to break up whatever is blocking the pipe. Both of these methods use physical force to break up the clog.
  • Sewer Line Repair: If a joining has come loose or a small crack is causing seepage into the yard or inhibiting flow, the plumbing technicians will dig it up and do an easy repair. This, however, may be the sign that the line is aging and needs to be replaced.
  • New Sewer Line Installation: New installation is required when a line is completely severed or rusted beyond the point of repair. Though this may be a lengthy process over several days, the upside is that it will likely not need to be replaced again with the homeowner’s lifetime.
