What is the best drain cleaning technique?

Stubborn clogs can be extremely frustrating, especially when they keep happening over and over. First off, regular preventive maintenance is key, and it doesn’t cost a lot of money. Ditch the expensive commercial drain cleaners, as they tend to corrode your pipes over time. Instead, pour a simple mixture of baking soda and vinegar down your drains every few weeks. This will help break up any clogs that may be forming.

Never pour grease left over from cooking down the kitchen sink. This is akin to eating fast foods every day, with the grease clogging up your arteries. Likewise, don’t pour paint, oil, feminine hygiene products or diapers down the toilet. If a clog just won’t quit, call in the professionals at Powell’s Plumbing rather than try to unclog it yourself with a plunger. This could actually do more damage and send the obstruction further down the pipe.

How can I prevent pipes from bursting?

While you can never fully prevent a burst pipe, there are ways you can lessen the chances. Sometimes, pipes crack and burst simply because they are old and were made with sub-par materials. Other times, the cause is freezing temperatures. You can lower the risk of freezing by installing your pipes indoors, keeping them insulated and relatively warm. This means that you shouldn’t shut off the heat completely when going away for a few days. Keep it on low instead. If you do suspect a frozen pipe, give us a call at Powell’s Plumbing to come out and take a look. Don’t attempt to thaw it by putting an open flame to the pipe.

What are the benefits of tankless water heaters?

Contemplating installing a tankless water heater in your home? It’s a good option if you want lower energy bills each year, more space in your basement, and a longer water heater life span. However, with annual energy savings of between $80 and $100 depending on your family’s size, you will quickly see a return on your investment. You also get the added benefit of a longer lifespan, up to 20 years. Your average storage tank water heater will last only around a decade.
