How do I know if I have a sewer backflow valve?

• <div><p>Check your basement floor. There’s usually a covered panel in the floor. The valve could also be near a sump pump. If you don’t have a basement, look near your water meter. You may see a rectangular or round cover, which is often clear (allowing you to easily see inside), over the valve. </p></div>

How do you get sediment out of a water well?

• <div><p>You don’t need to remove sediment from your water well. Sediment in your water well is normal. The problem is when the sediment enters your water supply. In this case, look into your pump. The size and placement of your pump can lead to sediment in your water. If it’s too big, it’ll overwork and stir up the sediment at the bottom, pulling it into the pump. If it’s too low, it will pull up the sediment that’s settled at the bottom. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends annual well maintenance to check and test for cleanliness, mechanical problems, and contaminants.</p></div>

Q: Can liquid drain cleaner make a clog worse?

• <div><p>A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance extends the lifespan of plumbing features?

• <div><p>Check connections, clean fixtures, and apply finishing or protective coatings to preserve months' worth of shine and functionality.</p></div>

Q: Can a shut-off valve go bad?

• <div><p>Shut-off valves, like any other piece of metal hardware, can corrode, age, get worn down, and eventually break or rust into place. Occasionally spray your shut-off valve with WD-40 to stall it from rusting. If it really gets stuck, a wrench and WD-40 will usually do the trick, but you will need to call a plumber if it&rsquo;s completely unmovable.</p></div>

Wonderfully!! The attention to detail and design were exceptional. During the bidding process, Pete noticed that we needed a new drain pipe at the end of the driveway (it was rusted with tears in the top). No other contractor noticed that and we never thought about it.. He was absolutely right....

It was a very difficult situation with the puncture being in a almost inaccessible place. They found the problem, cut that pipe off & installed a new line for that pipe. They cleaned up the mess that was created from the work & explained all the details of what they did.
