When your plumbing gets clogged up, overflows or flat-out bursts, you are going to need the services of a licensed plumber to get things working again. A quality, licensed plumber can fix your plumbing problem quickly and efficiently. When that plumber’s truck pulls up outside, you know that the Calvary has arrived. However, there are three things that all Manhattan plumbers wish their customers knew about plumbing as it will help expedite a viable solution to their next plumbing issue.
Manhattan Plumbers Can Get Very Busy
There are thousands of homes, businesses, and facilities in the Manhattan area, and at one time or another, they all need a plumber. During times of extreme cold when pipes tend to freeze and burst, plumbers will often go from one job to the next, sometimes with little rest in between, to take care of plumbing emergencies. Manhattan plumbers work a lot of crazy hours and put in overtime on a regular basis. Plumbers like Kew Forest Plumbing do not just do plumbing repair, they are an integral part of new home and building construction and renovations. You can help Manhattan plumbers help you by not waiting to contact us with your plumbing needs and by being clear about what the problem is. You and your plumber will be much happier with the job, and it will go faster.
Learn To Shut Off The Water Main
If your pipes burst and there is water flowing everywhere, it will not take long before you have inches of water damaging your home or business. You should call a plumber immediately, to have them assess the situation. However, before you grab your cell phone, you have to turn off the main water supply. It is a good idea that everyone in the family or all of your employees, know how to do this simple task. You will avoid major water damage, which can save you a great deal of money in repair bills. Turning off the water will also make sure that your water problem does not become the neighbor’s water problem.
Flushable Does Not Mean Flush It
There is a plethora of personal care products, such as tampons, baby wipes and personal cleansing cloths that say they are flushable. Sometimes, the package will say that it is septic system safe, or safe for plumbing. The truth is, tampons get stuck in drain pipes all the time, and it can cost you money to clean out the pipes. Baby wipes do not break down as well as old-fashioned single ply toilet paper, which is the best for your pipes. If you are not ready to give up your baby wipes, that is okay, but understand they can pose plumbing problems. Dispose of baby wipes like these items in the trash can, not down the toilet, and you will have fewer clogs.
