How to Determine if You Have Leaky Plumbing
Monday, December 26th, 2016Protect Your Plumbing from These Common Clogs
Monday, December 19th, 2016
One of the most common service calls we receive is in regards to drain and pipe clogging. It’s rare that you can own a home and never have to deal with a clog of some sort. Fortunately, however, our team of professionals has the tools and skills available to effectively remove clogs from your plumbing system. We also encourage taking steps to avoid the most stubborn of clogs.
For example, we do not recommend using store-bought chemical drain cleaners to try to remove a clog of any kind. First of all, these cleaners are abrasive and can eventually lead to leaks from your piping. Additionally, store-bought liquid drain cleaning is just a temporary solution to a bigger problem that needs to be resolved at the source. Otherwise, your clog will just continue to accumulate and you could be left with a very costly and messy repair.
