Does Your Toilet ROCK?

August 1, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner Leave a Comment

WHOOHOO!!

No. Seriously. If your TOILET rocks, it’s bad.

Even if it only moves a little, you need to have your toilet pulled and reset. Those bolts at the base of your toilet get rusty, and if your toilet has been rockin’ for some time, water has been seeping under the floor. The wood begins to rot, and the bolts no longer hold.

Nasty, loose tiles around your bathtub? Is water leaking onto your floor from beneath your shower? If your shower pan needs to be replaced, waiting is only going to cause you more problems.

When Remodeling Means Moving or Adding Gas Lines

July 19, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner 3 Comments

Blueprints.Have you had your eyes on a new gas cook top, but your kitchen only uses electricity? Adding a gas line is not as difficult as you think, and depending on the other gas-reliant appliances in your home, like the fireplace or water heater, you may already have most of the line in place.

A licensed plumber knows how to track those lines coming into your home and running throughout it. Each time the original gas line takes a new direction, we have to consider the amount of gas getting through the pipe at that point. If it has to travel for a long stretch and go to multiple appliances, the pressure needs to be maintained for each appliance to work properly.   [Read more…] about When Remodeling Means Moving or Adding Gas Lines

What’s in Your Drain?

July 12, 2012 by Debi Proctor Leave a Comment

Drain clean outs are usually not called for until an urgent situation arises, like a clogged toilet, kitchen waste that refuses to go down or a washing machine drain line dumps all over the laundry room floor. By then, you need us and you need us FAST.

Am I Prone To More Damage With an Attic Water Heater?

Bradford White Tankless Water Heater in AtticIn a word, yes. The water heater in attic was the brain child of builders trying to figure out how to add more living space to the homes they were building. The newer the home, the higher the chance that you have a water heater installed in the attic.

As a homeowner, there are a few things you should know about your attic water heater in the summer.  [Read more…] about Am I Prone To More Damage With an Attic Water Heater?

Get Hot Water Faster for Father’s Day

June 12, 2012 by Dorothy Skinner 2 Comments

WaterSense Graphic.If hot water in your home has a long way to travel, chances are good you spend a lot of time running and running your hot water so it will come out of the tap. So many Americans are guilty of wasting water like that! Are you ready to make your life more convenient and eco-friendly at the same time? You probably need to talk to us about a recirculating pump. Let me tell you why Dad might be super-happy to lower his water bill this summer!

First of all, did you see the local water price increases for the Dallas Metroplex? That could get out of control real fast. Adding a recirculating pump, like a Grundfos, to your water heater line accelerates the flow of hot water through the lines when you turn the faucet. These can be added to multiple locations in your home, depending on how many water stations need to be addressed.  [Read more…] about Get Hot Water Faster for Father’s Day
