Without a video inspection, your family could be living with the silent threat of a broken sewer line, especially since you’re noticing symptoms. A damaged line may fail to contain sewage properly, leading to leaks and exposing your family to harmful pathogens and foul odors.
Your HVAC system is at the heart of your home. A sturdy, properly-installed, and well-maintained HVAC system should last between 12-17 years. Here are a few tips on how to protect your investment and help to extend its life.
One of the most frequently mentioned disasters reported by homeowners is sump pump failure. Fortunately, there are many warning signs your pump is reaching the end of its life. By monitoring its performance, you will know when it is time to replace your pump long before waking up to a basement of water.
Mold in the home is never a good sign, and can quickly become problematic. In fact, in the case of water damage, mold can take just 24-48 hours to begin growing.
Sewer smells in your basement are very distinct and off-putting. Even if the smell is contained downstairs, there’s a good chance the smell has drifted into other rooms as well. The powerful smell should alert you to a plumbing issue long before it reaches such dangerous levels.
When struggling with poor shower pressure, you’re pretty certain this underwhelming experience in the shower is going to affect the rest of your day. Fortunately, troubleshooting the common causes can help you solve the issue of low pressure in your shower.
As winter rolls in, it’s extremely important you know how to prevent pipes from freezing. The areas where pipes are most susceptible to freezing include the attic, basement, crawlspace, and exterior walls. These problem areas are typically poorly insulated, allowing the cold air to have a greater effect on plumbing.
Striking a delicate balance between staying comfortably warm and managing utility expenses can become a real struggle. To keep your heating bill down without sacrificing comfort, look for alternative ways to warm and weatherize your home in the winter.
Have you ever sat on the toilet, and all of a sudden it moved? Maybe it moves just a bit, and you don’t give it much thought. If it still flushes, it must be in good working order, right? Not necessarily.
Did you recently turn on your kitchen sink or shower only to find your water isn’t completely clear? Fortunately, rusty, orange-colored water is mostly an aesthetic issue that doesn’t pose health risks. Still, water discoloration could be a sign of worse things.
