Why does my toilet always get clogged?
Toilets are the number one reason plumbers are in business and have a job. Even though we also repair leaks pipes and install also plumbing fixtures, toilets are known for getting clogged and having problems all the time. Toilets can get plugged all the time if not carefully used. You can’t just fill the toilet up and expect it to flush if there’s to much debris in the line. Unless you have a power flush toilet. Which most people are buying after they replace an old toilet. A toilet is a fragile fixture and should not be played on. Toilets can easily crack and clog. So you may ask why can’t they design a better unit that will flush a lot better and that will last for a long time.
If we go back and think about toilets they have been around for a very long time. 2800 years ago was the first toilet made. Used for defecation and urination. Toilets can be made stronger but will cost your pocket book triple the price. Think about all the people that won’t even spend $120 for a toilet. What people need to realize is that a toilet is something we use several times a day. It’s not like a salad bowl which people rarely use but spend more money on.
Make sure you know how to use a toilet before flushing. Make sure you know what can and can not be put inside your toilet bowl. If you have any issues with your toilet call our company today.
Our company works on toilet daily.
Kitchen Wash Basin
Most people have wash basins in their homes and some have more then one. Wash basins are important to maintain and keep up. Since we use wash basins (also known as kitchen sinks) all the time we want to make sure they don’t clog up. Make sure you have the proper garbage disposal under your sink. if you don’t have the proper horse power for what you use the kitchen sink for you’ll find yourself clogged and plugging your kitchen sink day in and day out. Trust me this is get quite irritating and frustrating.
Most of us have meals we prepare for several people daily and some even host parties of 20 plus people. You don’t want your disposal clogging at the wrong time.
Call a plumber to set you up with the right garbage disposal and have him show you what to do and what NOT to do. Basically, not everything in the world can be shoved down the disposal and be called garbage.
Call us today to install or unclogged your wash basin/kitchen sink.
Replacing Leaking Laundry Tub Traps
From time to time leaks do develop in homes weather we want them or not.
Leaks have a mind of their own.
When your pouring chemicals down your drains you have more of a chance for a leak to develop. Because we don’t really know what is in the chemicals you must be extra careful. Just because you read something on a bottle or hear from a friend that this product might work always be skeptical. Plumbing can create a huge mess if “monkeyed around with”. What you can put down your drain is a half of a cut up lemon. Lemons are known for getting the drain pipe to smell good. This won’t clear a clog but after it’s a nice touch to add. Being in the plumber business and seeing all the disasters we see I would never put anything down your drain except a professional drain snake. There is no chemical made that actually cleans the pipe without doing any harm. Harm is always out their when pouring anything down your drain.
People try and fix drains the cheap way, but honestly is more costly in the end.
Drain snakes will not brake through a good working in tact drain pipe. Find yourself a piece of cast iron pipe, galvanized pipe or even PVC pipe. Take a drain snake and try braking through the pipe. If the pipe is in good condition the snake will have no chance in ever breaking the pipe.
Getting back to laundry tubs they do from time to time create leaks. Their is no reason to panic but it’s always good to know a professional you can trust and you know as well he will treat you right and not take advantage of a situation. Their is so much plumbing that runs through our homes and buildings. Knowing where all your shut offs are is a great start before any plumber comes out. If you don’t know where they are located tell the plumber that and they can help you even before stepping on site. Knowing where all your drain pipes run is a another good thing to know but most people don’t and this isn’t as serious to know.
When you develop a leak under your laundry tubs this isn’t always an easy to fix. Normally the pipe is old and rusted.
Hire a plumber that knows how to repair your leaky laundry tub and laundry tub faucets. Your time is worth money and by the time you might handle it yourself hours or days will go by and you will have wished you hired the professional. All the trips to the store ad hours online trying to figure it out just isn’t worth your time. Hire a plumber and make sure the job is done right the first time. Hire a plumbing company cause this is what they breathe day in and day out.
Our company would be honored to service you and prove to you that were honest and trustworthy. Emergencies do happen and it’s good to know a plumber or drain cleaner you can trust.
We hope to hear from you! Free estimates are always available.
Is your Kitchen Sink leaking or clogged
There are several reasons your kitchen sink is leaking. Check out what connection your leak is coming from. Always find the source to any leak before you start ripping plumbing apart. Once you find the source you can go from there. Kitchen sinks can leak from your dishwasher, garbage disposal or faucet. Your kitchen sink can also develop a leak from your shut off, supply line, loose washers or inside the wall. If your having a ceiling leak below the leak is normally in the wall. Often times the cabinet underneath is wet and you’ll be able to find the leak quit. Most the time it’s old rusted plumbing and pretty confusing to deal with. Consult hiring a plumber before you do anything. Even though you may be spending a little bit more then you wanted you’ll have the benefit of knowing it’s getting done right. Ask yourself if you want a flooded house and major repair work is needed.
Our company has clients that try and fix their own plumbing and within a day or a week they haven’t just found a flooded kitchen but basement as well. Plumbing is easy to mess up and create damage. Plumbing isn’t a game to play around with. Plumbing needs to last and be done properly with the right parts.

The secrets behind dishwashers
Do you ever worry about your dishwasher springing a leak, or just malfunctioning. I do, all the time. I have never trusted any dishwasher in my life. Though they are 100% amazing to have and save us a ton of time from hand washing each dish I still seem to worry about water leaks from them. The secret is to be one step ahead of the game. Make sure your dishwasher has it’s own shut off valve. By doing this you can catch any leak and turn off the unit immediately.
We can’t prevent everything from happening but can’t we get close?
Call us today for any question regarding any plumbing issue.

Water leaks sometimes can be such a pain
Our plumbing services range from drain cleaning to all plumbing installs and repairs. Water leaks can be a pain if not addressed right away. If a water leak ever ones about in your properties the first step you should take is to turn off the shut off valve underneath sink, tub, or if you can’t a shut off turn off the main for the property. Faucets that don’t have shut off valves underneath should be installed when the main water has been shut off. The time to repair any plumbing problem is before it happens. If you notice a shut off valve doesn’t work make sure to get it fixed and repaired before you need to. Water leaks happen when we least expect it. Water leaks happen when at work or most likely out of town.
Make sure not to panic when I water leak comes about. Call your local plumbing companies and they will take good care of you. Last week we had a client call another company before they heard about ours and they had a kitchen sink that was clogged. After the other company cleaned the kitchen sink drain they showed the homeowners a bill for $500. Yes, they charged this couple $500 for a clogged kitchen sink. Out company changes anywhere from $105-$125 for a kitchen sink that needs to be unclogged. Plumbing issues do come up sometimes on jobs. Pipes in the wall can break from being old or by having acid chemicals in them. Make sure to never pour any home made or store bought chemicals down ANY drain EVER.
Call us today to help unclogged your kitchen sink, main drain or help with any plumbing problem.
We look forward to getting the chance to helping you out.
Twin Cities Plumbing Companies
Everyone has roots or some sort of hard debris in their sewer line. We can’t explain how important it is to clean your sewer line yearly. We have clients that haven’t cleaned their sewer lines in over 15 years and their paying the price now. If we could get the word out there to have your sewer line cleaned yearly people would spend less money and end up not flooding either.
Flooding isn’t just flooding it can cause mold, and destroy foundations and houses.
