Your drains are a part of your home that you’d really rather not have any reason to think about. Generally, if you notice them, it’s because there’s a problem! But taking a moment to consider them before any serious problems come up could save you a lot of unpleasant bother.
Hydro jetting is an amazing solution for drain issues. We’ll explain when to schedule it, why you need it, and how it’s done.
When people imagine a drain becoming clogged, it’s common for them to picture something happening suddenly. One item got washed down the sink or the tub drain, and now it’s completely blocked! But this is actually not the way that most drain clogs happen.
Instead, drain clogs are usually things that accumulate gradually. A little bit of buildup at a time can lead to a completely blocked drain pipe or sewer line. We’ll tell you all about the various things that can accumulate slowly, leading to clogged drains. You might be able to avoid the clogs entirely!
The summer is in full swing. Have you had professional AC maintenance done yet? If not, do you still need to do it? Many people wonder if they’ve missed the window for maintenance, if it can only be done in the spring, or if they should put it off until next year.
No! Neglecting your air conditioner can have serious consequences. If you haven’t had AC maintenance yet this year, schedule it now. Here’s why.
It’s important to notice when something is wrong with your HVAC system. Prompt repairs can make a huge difference in both repair cost and system longevity. But “Watch for these signs of AC trouble” or “Keep an eye out for air conditioner problems” are not actually the most helpful things to say when trying to help homeowners keep tabs on their air conditioners.
This is because the most common early indicators that an air conditioner is struggling are not things you can see. Usually, they’re things you will hear. What sounds does an air conditioner make when it needs repair? What do the various noises mean? We’ve got some details for you.
You know that your car needs maintenance and regular oil changes in order to keep running decently. You’ve probably heard that heating systems and air conditioners also need maintenance.
But what about your water heater? Do you forget about it entirely unless something is wrong and you end up in an ice-cold shower? It needs maintenance, too!
If your home has children in it, you know better than anyone the sort of catastrophes they’re able to create. Whether it’s broken toys, injuries, or a virus that comes home from preschool and cascades through the whole family, kids bring a great deal of chaos to a home. And they can wreak havoc on your home’s plumbing as well.
There are two ways to approach plumbing disaster preparation. First, take steps to minimize the risk that your kids will cause a plumbing emergency. Second, have a plan for what to do if an emergency does happen.
When something goes wrong with your air conditioner, it’s extremely inconvenient. Problems are most likely to happen when your air conditioner is spending the most time running, which means during the hottest weather. Depending on what goes wrong, AC repairs can sometimes be costly.
We can help you with that. We can’t guarantee an air conditioner that works perfectly forever, no. But we can tell you how to make sure it works as well as possible for as long as possible. How can you drastically reduce the likelihood that your air conditioner will require repairs this summer?
Your sewer line is the central location where all the drain water and waste leaves your home. It carries it away to the municipal sewage pipe, which brings all the waste from your neighborhood to the sewage treatment facility.
Clearly, the sewer line does a very critical and not particularly pleasant job for your home. You don’t want anything to go wrong in that process, or you’d have a big smelly mess on your hands! Sewer line cleaning is a plumbing service that can ensure waste drains easily and your sewer line stays in good condition. But how often should you have it done?
We talk a lot on this blog about the importance of maintenance for the various parts of your HVAC system such as your air conditioner, furnace, or heat pump. We point out the ways that getting repairs done as soon as possible can prevent a problem from worsening or from driving up your utility bills as your HVAC system struggles to get the job done.

We’ve got some great options for making sure you get the maintenance and repair you need without paying more than necessary. Here’s the info.
