An overflowing toilet is one of those worst-case scenarios you hope will never happen to you. Thankfully, most clogged toilets don’t actually overflow, and you’ll be able to use the plunger in peace without contaminated water pouring everywhere. But sometimes, that water just doesn’t stop flowing.
Knowing in advance what to do in this kind of situation can keep you from panicking, and if you don’t panic, you’ll be better able to handle the problem. If your toilet overflows, follow these simple steps to prevent disaster and get your plumbing moving again.
Plumbing can seem a little bit like magic: it’s largely invisible (behind walls or beneath your foundation), and if you’re not an extremely skilled practitioner, meddling with it can cause big problems! We’re going to make it a little less mysterious for you while we discuss slab leaks. You won’t become a qualified magician (or plumber) by reading this, but you’ll come to understand the special skills and tools that help the plumber do their job, and you’ll have a better idea of when to call a plumber. 
Have you ever been frustrated with a shower drain that’s starting to get clogged, but you just paid for a drain cleaning only a year ago? It can sometimes feel like there’s just nothing that can be done about clogging materials. Well, there is something that can be done about the materials clogging your shower and your kitchen sink, and we’re here to talk about it!
Leaks are brutal when they occur. We’ve all been there when a leak has caused a complete disruption in our lives and we start furiously searching online for what to do. The stress and commotion of having a leak in your home can be enough to ruin anyone’s day, which is why we’d like to shed some light on this type of situation.
It’s been a long time and there has been a lot of hardship getting to this point. You’ve slaved away for hours with a drain snake and a plunger—you even bought different sized plungers and drain snakes made of different materials—but at this point, it seems like everything was pointless. No matter how hard you work at clearing out that drain clog, you’re certain that it’s stuck there forever. Now you’re starting to panic, as you think there might be something else, something worse affecting your drain system.
Over years, sometimes even decades, a plumbing system can go through the ringer. While we might only see what’s on the surface when we use our kitchen sink and our bathtub, but the pipes underneath you might be suffering until one day they have a catastrophic failure. These kinds of plumbing emergencies are why our company exists.
Problematic drains are a tale as old as time. As long as our homes have had plumbing, things have gotten stuck in drains, blocked the flow of water, or made our lives miserable by messing with our sanitation standards. We’re not here to talk about the history of drains, though, since with technology and scientific breakthroughs we have today there are some clear solutions to the problems you might be encountering.
What’s that noise? Is that the sound of water filling up the kitchen sink? Or is it a gurgling coming from a toilet that isn’t flushing properly? If you walked into your kitchen or bathroom and discovered a clogged drain, your first reaction would likely be to reach for the quickest solution in the cupboard, probably in the form of a liquid drain cleaner.
We often take for granted just how much our kitchen sinks endure on an everyday basis. Whether you use it for cleaning, drinking, dishes, or cooking, your kitchen sink gets a lot of use, which means that it’s going to require a bit of care.
No matter the temperature outside, enjoying a hot shower or bath is something we all look forward to at the end of a long day. Out of all our modern conveniences, your hot water heater is probably one of the most important, and you likely can’t imagine life without it. So, what happens when it reaches the end of its service life?
