How to Prevent Basement Flooding
When spring arrives, you’re ready to be sprung into more time feeling the warmth of the sun on your face while breathing in the smell of flowers in full bloom. But all those flowers can’t bloom without rain – and come spring, we can get plenty of it. Too much rain, in turn, can cause…
When Should I Replace My Sump Pump?
Funny as this may sound, your sump pump performs the exact opposite function of most other plumbing. While most fixtures and systems bring water into your home or where, inside or out, you need it, sump pumps are designed to expunge water out of your basement. Reverse plumbing? That’s one way to think of it.…
How to Keep the Plumber Away
Murphy’s Law states that anything that can go wrong probably will. Worse, things tend to go wrong at the most inconvenient times. For instance, your car won’t start as you head out to an important meeting. Your laptop gets whacked by a virus when you’re up against a deadline. Or your sink won’t drain as…
How to Stop Water Leaks and Prevent Damage
It happens. Not only that, it could happen to anyone. The “it”, in this case, is a water leak, the kind that could occur wherever water-carrying pipes are installed.

Save Time and Avoid Injury with a Pot Filler
They say necessity is the mother of invention. While it’s hard to argue the point, it can be equally argued that the desire for greater convenience is its own great motivator. An over-the-stove pot filler is one such example. Can you live without one? Of course, but once you have one, you’ll never want to…
Why Are My Pipes Sweating?
Ever notice condensation around your pipes, fixtures, or toilet tanks? This phenomenon, often referred to as plumbing sweat, is the result of warm, humid air meeting cooler pipes and toilets – much like you’d see on a glass of cold lemonade on a hot day. Plumbing sweat require extra wiping to keep the areas dry.…
When It’s Time to Call a Plumber
