A bathroom renovation is one of the most rewarding home improvement projects you can take on. Not only does it increase your home’s value, but it also enhances comfort and efficiency. However, before you start picking out tiles or dreaming about rainfall showerheads, there’s one critical element you need to understand: the plumbing.
As we usher in the New Year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on ways to improve our lives, including taking steps to care for our homes. One often overlooked aspect is the plumbing system—a vital component that ensures your daily activities run smoothly.
Let’s go over some essential plumbing resolutions for Pacific Northwest homeowners to adopt in the coming year. By incorporating these resolutions into your routine, you can prevent costly plumbing issues and invest in your plumbing system’s health.
When you’re a homeowner, your list of things to stay on top of is long. We know how much there is to do and how easy it is to overlook small things that aren’t causing any problems right now. However, the keywords here are “right now.” Just because a tiny problem isn’t causing chaos doesn’t mean it should be completely dismissed.
When it comes to your DuPont, WA home’s pipes and plumbing, what might seem like a minor inconvenience right now has the capacity to escalate into a costly, major repair. To avoid future disasters down the line, it’s wise to call for plumbing service before they worsen.
Here are seven plumbing problems that you shouldn’t ignore.
Chances are, you don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the drains in your home all that much. That’s okay! Most homeowners don’t. However, it is important that you know that if you don’t keep your drains and pipes in good shape, it can cause a number of issues for you in the long run.
It’s important to know when to call for professional drain cleaning, to keep your plumbing as healthy and efficient as possible. Professional services outweigh DIY attempts like chemical drain cleaners because it’s healthier for your plumbing. Chemical drain cleaners you can buy at the store are quite caustic and can cause corrosion and more clogs over time, defeating their purpose.

Just like any other component of your home, your plumbing pipes wear down over the years, with some materials aging quicker than others. At some point in your homeownership, especially if your home is more than a couple decades old, you may need pipe relining, repair, or complete home repiping. This is an extensive job, but one that our professional plumbers are very familiar with and highly skilled at managing. Plus you’ll benefit in a number of ways from whole house repiping! Namely, you won’t have to worry about any surprise plumbing leaks or repair needs for many years.
Of course, we understand that nobody really wants to invest in a plumbing project like this. It’s not exactly the most convenient or fun thing to have done. But managing it sooner rather than later can help prevents years of problems, including higher water bills than necessary and even potential property damage from leaks and the like. But how do you know when it’s time for repiping? Aside from having a professional plumbing inspection done, are there signs you can watch out for?
There sure are! Read on to learn what they are.
If you’re like most homeowners, your first instinct when you discover a clogged drain in your home is probably to reach for a bottle of chemical drain cleaner you bought and store under the sink, right? What if we told you this can actually do a lot more harm than good to your plumbing?
Sure, store-bought drain cleaners can dissolve some clogs, such as hair buildup. But they do this at a significant price. One that most homeowners pay without even realizing it. Keep reading as we dive into what’s wrong with these chemical “solutions” and why professional drain cleaning is the only drain cleaning that matters.
We don’t exactly live in the artic. In fact, if you compared us to our friends in the Midwest or Northeast, they’d probably laugh at our ideas of “cold.” But while we can sometimes exaggerate the word “freezing,” the fact of the matter is, we do get freezing temperatures here in the Pacific Northwest. Anything below 32°F is, in fact, considered freezing and can subsequently lead to frozen pipes.
So to answer the question this post poses, yes, your pipes are at risk of freezing! Read on to learn more.
You wouldn’t flush fruit pits or rinds down your toilet, so why treat your kitchen plumbing any differently? It might sound crazy, but the pipes underneath your kitchen sink are no different than the pipes leading out of your bathroom, and therefore need to be treated with the same level of care. Yes, owning a garbage disposal in DuPont is a great way to reduce the risk of clogs, but garbage disposals were not designed to handle everything that homeowners throw their way. In fact, there are a variety of things that should never be thrown down your garbage disposal.
In case you aren’t sure what can and can not be thrown down your garbage disposal, keep reading below! We have provided our list of garbage disposal dos and don’ts.
A competent, reputable plumber is as important to the functionality of your home as a reputable mechanic is to your car or a dentist to your teeth. When issues arise with your plumbing system, you should be able to rely on not only a professional plumbing contractor but on one that provides 24-hour plumbing in DuPont among their comprehensive services.
You might have a number of plumbers you’re aware of in your area, or who you’ve seen driving around town. But, do you know what qualities are most important to look for in someone who is going to work on your plumbing? Before hiring someone, we urge you to read the guidelines we’ve provided below when choosing the right professional.
One of the great luxuries that modern plumbing has brought into many homes is that of the garbage disposal. And if you have one in your kitchen, you likely can’t even imagine cooking and cleaning up without it. Unfinished meals, kitchen scraps, or even spoiling leftovers are easily and hygienically disposed of, rather than sitting in your trash can and smelling up the place. But, could this dependence on your garbage disposal system get in you trouble?
If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated by your garbage disposal getting jammed up, more than once, or you’ve had to call a professional Dupont plumber to fix the mechanism, then chances are you aren’t giving this appliance the proper care it needs. This isn’t your fault, though, if you don’t know what items and do not belong in your garbage disposal system to begin with! Keep reading to learn more.
