When an air conditioning system shows signs that it needs repairs during the end of the summer, it’s tempting to shrug it off. “Well, I won’t need the AC for a good stretch. I can just have the repairs done later,” you might think. However, delaying any repairs for an air conditioner, no matter how “minor” they may seem, is unwise.
Drain clogs are a big headache for any home, and it’s difficult to avoid running into them at some time or another. But if “some time” starts to turn into “all the time,” you are probably dealing with a larger issue that will require calling for professional plumbing assistance.
We won’t try to pretend that we think tankless water heaters are anything less than a great idea. These systems make a superb alternative to the conventional storage tank water heater (the sort that most people think of when they hear the words water heater) for a number of reasons.
The sewer line that serves your house is probably not something you want to think about often. And since the sewer line is buried out of sight in a trench leading from the side of the house to the municipal sewer main in the street, you don’t have anything that will bring it to mind most of the time.
During a hot and sometimes humid summer in Chicagoland, you will need to have your air conditioner running on a regular basis. This means a great deal of wear and tear placed on the system, but one of the ways you can reduce the stress and keep the AC energy-efficient is to always clean the air filter once a month.
Have you had enough of slow and partially clogged drains that slow down your kitchen clean-up, produce foul odors and get in the way of your hot showers? Your plumbing system comprises a wide array of different materials and mechanisms, from the basic valve and pipe to dishwashers and water heaters. But its important to consider the importance of taking care of your drain and sewer system as well as the supply system that brings you potable water. The various drainpipes throughout your home as well as the sewer line beneath your lawn must be taken care of on a regular basis to avoid those frustrating clogs. (more…)
You probably don’t think that much about the drains in your home—until they start to clog up and cause problems. It’s always best to call on professional plumbers when any troubles like this occur. But there are probably mistakes you’re making with your drains that are causing such problems to be much more likely.
Among the many different types of plumbing repair issues that a home may encounter, a slab leak is one of the most difficult to repair—and also one of the most difficult to locate in the first place. This is a job that requires skilled plumbers who not only have experience with this type of repair, but have special equipment for detecting the leaks and repairing them with the minimum amount of damage to property.
Air conditioning systems are more complicated devices than people often realize. It’s easy to make simple mistakes when using an AC during the summer that can result in energy waste or the system wearing down faster than it should.
Clogged up drains are one of the hassles in life that most of us simply accept. They are going to happen and you just might as well get used them.
