It’s already 2016, and right now is the right time to start making good on those New Year’s resolutions. We’re not sure what specific plans you have the coming 12 months, but we have some suggestions for plumbing tasks in your home that are definitely excellent ideas.
Are you a business owner in Chicagoland or Fox Valley? Then your commercial building has a plumbing system, and no matter what your company does, this plumbing system needs to remain in top order.
There are a number of major plumbing emergencies that are impossible to miss. One of the most alarming is when you turn on a tap in your house and discover that there’s no water coming from it. You try other taps around the house, and the result is all the same.
Many people don’t realize that plumbing involves installing and fixing pipes that don’t carry water or waste through a home. Plumbing also includes gas piping for houses that have a natural gas connection to a municipal source.
Sump pumps are important parts of many homes in Illinois: they protect the basement, crawlspace, or subfloor of a house from the damages of flooding. In case of heavy rain or a plumbing accident that sends water cascading down into the lowest parts of house, a sump pump will effectively remove that water and send it into the drainage system.
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.
You currently don’t have any plumbing repairs—emergency or otherwise—that need the assistance of a professional. Nor are you planning new home construction that requires plumbers to install new pipes and fixtures. So you must not need a plumber, right?
It may sound odd to advise homeowners to call for leak detection from professional plumbers. Aren’t leaks obvious and easy to notice, and therefore the “detection” part unnecessary? We wish that were the truth, since it would make keeping the plumbing in a home in good shape far easier.
You probably use the garbage disposal in your kitchen every day. These devices are so useful that it’s easy to take them for granted—and that is part of the reason that a number of misunderstandings about them have arisen. Unfortunately, these misunderstanding often lead to people accidentally damaging their disposals.
