Is DIY Plumbing Repair A Good Idea? 

Time and time again, we get called out to a plumbing emergency that happened because a ‘DIY master’ decided to take on a job that a professional should be handling. Does this mean that you should never try to tackle a plumbing repair on your own? Not necessarily! But it does mean that you should be incredibly diligent in deciding which jobs you can handle and which jobs need to be left to the pros. 

For example, if your toilet is starting to overflow, you should absolutely be able to fix that on your own! Turn off the water at the wall source, get out your plunger, and give it a few good plunges. After that, the water should begin draining and you can turn back on the water source. This is definitely an example of a plumbing need you can ‘DIY’. However, if you’ve been told that your entire plumbing pipes need to be replaced, this is a job that is better suited for professionals who have dedicated their lives to their craft. Avoid getting in over your head and creating a plumbing emergency, call a professional plumber out today to help determine the extent of the plumbing repair you need. 

How Do I Know If My Gas Line Is Leaking? 

One of the most worrisome plumbing repairs you can have is a gas leak. If your home or business has gas lines, it can be a constant source of anxiety, wondering if your gas line has a hidden leak and is only seconds away from exploding. While gas leaks leading to explosions and fires aren’t as incredibly common as TV might make them seem, they are definitely occurring daily in the United States. To protect yourself and your property, it’s important that you are aware of signs that your gas line might have a leak. Here are a few things you can watch out for to make sure you can catch a gas leak before it turns into something worse:

The Smell Of Rotten Eggs

While gas is naturally unscented, gas suppliers in the US have added a chemical that gives the natural gas a rotten egg smell. This ensures that should the gas escape the line without being used, you can smell the odor and locate the source of the leak. So, if while passing the area your gas line occupies, you notice the smell of rotten eggs, you need to call out an emergency plumber immediately! 

A Hissing Or Blowing Sound

Another sign to watch for is a hissing or blowing sound. If you notice either of these coming from your gas line, especially if this is accompanied by the smell of rotten eggs, you likely have a gas leak on your hands. 

An Unexpected Increase In Your Gas Bill

Your gas bill typically shouldn’t cost you too much each month, but you likely have a good handle on how much you expect each month to cost. Have you recently noticed a gradual increase in cost each month? Or, even worse, have you noticed a large spike in your bill? These increases could point to a gas leak somewhere in your main line. 

While gas leaks have the potential to be incredibly dangerous, when caught early, they typically can be easy to handle with little to no harm or damage to the building or the people occupying the building. Keep an eye out for these signs, and call out an emergency plumber at the first sign of a gas leak. 

Why Is My Sink Or Shower Not Draining?

Are you dealing with the nuisance of a slow-draining sink or shower? Is the smell and grime left behind giving you a headache? Drains that are no longer working well aren’t just annoying, they can also be dangerous! Stagnant water is a breeding ground for bacteria, pathogens, and other things that can be harmful to your health and the cleanliness of your home or business. 

But what causes these backups? Unfortunately, the day to day use of your sink and shower adds to the build up in your drain lines. Food scraps, cooking grease, and dish soap can all line the drain of your sink, making it harder and harder for water to escape. And while your garbage disposal might help break that food down, it can’t keep it from sticking to the side of the drain. Similarly, your shower drain can catch hair, body oil, and shampoo and conditioner, making it impossible for the water to drain out of your tub. Without professional cleaning and clearing, this issue can keep popping up over and over again.
