Q: What are common types of drain issues?

• <div><p>Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly. </p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you&rsquo;re done, now&rsquo;s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.</p></div>

Q: What does a sewer cleanout look like?

• <div><p>A sewer cleanout typically looks like a white or gray PVC pipe with a removable cap. It's often located either in your yard or basement, depending on your home's plumbing configuration. The cleanout pipe is designed to provide easy access to your sewer system for maintenance and inspections. It may be flush with the ground or slightly elevated, making it distinguishable from other pipes. When you remove the cap, you can access the sewer line directly or determine its direction, which can be helpful when you need to locate your sewer line from your house to the street.</p></div>

Q: Does homeowners insurance cover sewer backup?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance usually doesn&rsquo;t cover sewer backups because it&rsquo;s typically an avoidable problem with proper maintenance. The only exception would be if the backup is occurring because of local flooding and only if your city uses a combined drainage system for stormwater and sewage. If that&rsquo;s the case, your policy should cover any resulting damage.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a drainage system?

• <div><p>Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.</p></div>

"Not good. We had just replaced an element and they told us it was the wrong one and took the element but we had just put on and was going to bring back the proper one as well as the one that they had taken off they brought back a different one never brought back the new one that they had taken off but I had already replaced and two days later the furnace quit blowing hot air againI was told it would be more than a week before somebody could get out there and I had a newborn baby that was born less than a week earlier.. needless to say we ended up calling another company and the element was not the problem it's just that they were dirty posts on one of the firing pins it took a minute half with steel wool to clean it off and my furnace works works great ever since.

we won't be using them again for our heating needs
