Disposing of Holiday “Gunk”!

You can be sure of one thing…holiday time means more time in the kitchen and more stuff going down the garbage disposal.  How old is your home’s disposal unit?  Has it made weird sounds in recent months.  As much as you may try to ignore it, the fact is it will be nasty business if and when it goes out entirely.

2.  Gather all of the supplies and tools in one place.

3.  Turn off the power…Zap!

Plumbing from Start to Finish.

Plumbing in a new home is extremely important.  If it is not done right the first time you will have a lifetime of problems down the road.  The entire concept of plumbing is rather simple…water in-water out.  The proper installation of an entire plumbing system in a new home is not so remedial.

As it pertains to plumbing fixtures here is a quick tutorial.  They are often too large to set once walls and doorways are framed so, tub/shower units are typically set BEFORE framing the walls. Since a lot of construction has yet to take place, these fixtures are covered with cardboard or even old blankets or rugs to protect them from scratches. Set and connect sinks and commodes last, after finishing the walls and laying the flooring.

The procedure is exacting and somewhat complicated.  A Spokane or Coeur D’Alene home deserves only the most professional attention.  The plumbing layout must be done exactly right the first time.  The right choice in this area is Spokane new home plumbing installation expert  River City Plumbing Service.  Let the building begin!  Call (509) 954-6567 or (208) 659-6565 today.

Yikes…that’s Cold!

Picture this…you wake up early on a Spokane morning and you jump in the shower.  It should be an invigorating beginning to your day.  Instead, you step in to freezing cold water…yikes!  Or, this may even be worse…you are half asleep and you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and you step in a puddle of water.

I would call that an emergency.  It happens to so many of us wherever we live in America.  Plumbing leaks are not on the clock.  Your bathroom is the most important room in your home at the beginning of each day.  Surprises need to be corrected ASAP!  Those are just a couple of the many things that could go wrong in your master bath while you are sleeping.

In Spokane and Coeur D’Alene we are lucky to have the emergency service plumber Greg Palmen of River City Plumbing Service.  After you catch your breath from the shock the next step is to call Dan and his team to immediately fix the problem on YOUR budget.  Call River City Plumbing Service 24/7 at (509) 954-6567 or (208) 659-6565.

Did a Truck Just Drive through the House?

It has been a summer of heavy use in your kitchen with the kids at home pouring heaven knows what into your kitchen’s garbage disposal.  You may be tempted to just give up on your current garbage disposal unit when, in fact, many of them could be repaired, restoring peace and quiet to your kitchen and your home.

So far, if you are not hearing sounds get down on your hands and knees and look carefully for a leak underneath your sink.  In many cases, the problem is not necessarily with the unit itself, but rather the way it was installed or the pipes leading to it.  So, don’t just automatically blame Johnny for throwing his oatmeal in there!
