In your home, all the drain pipes lead to one place: the sewer line. This line carries all your wastewater away from your home and toward the municipal sewer line or your septic tank. While a clog in a single drain in your home can be a hassle, a clog in your sewer line can cause massive problems.
To avoid a disaster—like sewage backing up into your tubs and sinks—it’s important to catch sewer line problems early. How can you tell if you have a sewer line problem and need a plumber to clean it out? Here are the warning signs.
Drains are sensitive parts of our plumbing systems, but they’re also the parts that we have the most contact with. Think about it: every time you cook dinner, wash your hair, or even do the dishes, you’re using your drains to ensure that the dirty water ends up far and away from your home to be cleaned up. So, you’re probably looking for a few ways to mitigate drain problems and improve the quality of your drains, right?
Lead pipes aren’t as common anymore in city pipes thanks to some great legislation from the 1960s. Once the science came out on how negatively impacted adults and children were from consuming lead runoff, it became obvious that we needed to overhaul our industrial plumbing systems to completely remove lead from the equation. That’s why you just don’t see lead pipes in large commercial buildings or other public buildings anymore, since those were the places heavily focused on when this change came about.
This is a complicated question, and one that we’d like to spend this blog post talking about. There’s no perfect answer, and it’s important that we’re honest with you as your go-to local professional for any questions that pertain to 
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.
We’ve all been there. You were having a normal night until just a few minutes ago when your toilet began to overflow, leak, or encounter some other problem that seems unhygienic and scary. The first thing we want to make abundantly clear, is that there’s no reason to panic. Whatever happens in your bathroom, there is always a way to fix the problem and keep costs to a minimum. Toilet problems can feel a lot scarier or more intense than they actually are.
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.
Plumbing systems come in all shapes and sizes. This means that you’ll need professional help in dealing with a problem that comes from your particular plumbing system. Having just a “general knowledge” in plumbing isn’t going to cut it when you’re dealing with a leak or some sort of water contamination issue.
Plumbing systems are usually in dark locations that are far away from where you spend most of your time. If you’re wondering why, it’s because nobody really wants to see their plumbing every day. It feels better using a kitchen sink with the belief that your dirty water goes to some magical place to get clean again.
