What is the best drain cleaning technique?

Often minor clogs in sink drains can be cleared away with the use of a plunger. If the drains are not clogged too badly, it often can be unclogged just in the same way you would use a plunger in a toilet. Simply by putting the plunger into place and then thrusting up and down fervently you can get small obstructions unstuck and get back to business as usual.

As often is the case, however, the problem may be bigger than that. Often there is built up residue that has accumulated over a period of time that prevents efficient water flow and keeps the drain from working properly. In such cases, it is best to hire a professional plumbing service. Our team can come over and assess the situation and offer you the best solutions to get the drain fixed up quickly and painlessly.

How can I prevent a burst pipe?

There are few things as bothersome as getting a burst pipe. When the weather is cold water can freeze quickly and with little notice. You can often tell that you have a burst pipe because when you go to turn on the water nothing comes out. Fortunately, this problem is preventable if you take the right precautions.

You will want to make sure your pipes are well insulated. The insulation will protect the pipe from freezing on the outside. The insulation can slow down the process of water giving off heat to become ice and thus prevent your pipes from bursting.

Keep the heat on partially when you head off for vacation. A general rule is to keep your house temperature set at a base of 55 degrees. This may not work in every housing situation, however. Variables such as the presence or absence of a basement or crawlspace could affect whether this is true for your home. By giving us a call we can help you determine what the best strategy would be for you and your home.
