From emergency plumbing services to slab leak repair, we’ve put together a comprehensive run down of questions we hear most often.
How Do I Unclog a Toilet?
The easiest way to unclog your toilet is with a plunger, but if you don’t have one on hand, fill the toilet with dish soap or laundry detergent, add a pot of boiling water and then wait a few minutes before flushing. The hot water should break through the clog as the soap washes everything through the siphon and out of the drain.
How Do I Choose a Toilet?
Look online for comparisons on flush ratings, as well as available rebates on high–efficiency models. Consider features such as pressure assists and heightened thrones when choosing a toilet.
Why Is Sewage Coming out of the Toilet?
If sewage is coming out of your toilet, it’s likely caused by a backup in the main sewage line. Call a plumber right away for assistance.
Hopefully, you’ll never experience sewage escaping from your toilet, but something you’ll likely experience as a homeowner or long-term renter is a leaky faucet or shower head attachment. So, how do you fix both of those problems and more?
How Do I Remove White Buildup on Faucet Aerators?
Leaky faucets are usually caused by worn rubber washers, which give out over time due to valve seat friction. Replace the washers to fix your leak.
Can I Use Drain Cleaner in a Sink With a Garbage Disposal?
Yes, Drano® and similar brands make sink–cleaning products that are safe for all sinks, including those with garbage disposals. If in doubt, check the drain cleaner’s label before using it.
How Can I Prevent Clogged Drains in My Home?
Prevent clogged drains in your home by stopping hairs, oils, greases, coffee grinds, pasta or hard produce parts, such as broccoli stalks, carrots or apple cores, from going down the drain. A drain stopper or filter can help stop materials, like coffee grinds, pasta and produce from entering your drain.
What Do I Do If My Water Meter Is Leaking?
If your water meter is leaking, call a plumber immediately. You should also contact your water utility provider as well because if the leak is between the meter leading to the water utility, it is their financial responsibility to fix the leak. Leaks between the meter and your home are yours.
What Are Some Simple Ways to Fix a Clogged Drain?
Unclog drains with an over-the-counter drain-cleaning formula, or with a mixture of baking soda, vinegar and boiling water. A clog can also be broken up with a drain snake or extracted with a vacuum.
