Installing a Tub and Shower.

When you think of your master bathroom how do you see it?  Is it just a necessity, or is it a haven where the best of the day begins and ends?  Some of us view our bathroom as our “my time” room and it needs to be special.  When you have a new tub and shower installed it really brightens things up.

Before you start, you'll want to install separate 3/4-inch lines to supply the shower. This extra step ensures good water pressure and protects you from temperature changes when another faucet is turned on or the toilet tank refills.  That’s a wake-up call you don’t need! You'll want to tap into the cold and hot water lines as close to the water heater as possible.

It all begins with a call to A River City Plumbing.  They are the masters of shower and tub installation in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and the surrounding area.  Please give the bathroom professionals a call and transform the beginning and end of each day into the best parts of it. 

Those numbers are (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Idaho.

Hooking up Gas Lines.

It sounds potentially dangerous, doesn’t it?  Don’t take it lightly…it definitely is!  Installing a gas line is definitely not a task to take on as your first do-it-yourself project.  It should go without saying that the risks of making a mistake outweigh the costs of hiring a professional.  We want to give you a quick and partial tutorial of how it is done.

1.  You must be sure that you have the right fittings for the job.

2.  The gas to your house needs to be turned off.

3.  The valves must be properly fitted so that they match up to your appliance(s).

4.  Spread a mixture of dish liquid to water over each seam.

5.  Correctly make the connection.

It is all in the training and the experience.  In the Coeur d'Alene/Spokane areas it has been done successfully over and over again by the crew at A River City Plumbing Service.  Don’t even think about tackling this task yourself!  Always call the area’s gas line hook-up professionals at A River City Plumbing (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Idaho.

How Often Should My Drains be Cleaned?

Good question, it is one of the tenants of responsible home ownership.  Healthy drains are a crucial part of any functioning plumbing system.  Think of a blocked drain this way; they aren’t only messy and unappealing, but they can also lead to various severe problems — such as bacteria and germs, and even structural damage!

Perhaps the most crucial reason to schedule regular drain cleaning is to help prevent major plumbing emergencies from occurring throughout your home.   Frequent drain cleaning helps to improve the lifespan of your plumbing system.  Invite a licensed plumber into your home to check your drains on a regular basis.

If you live in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and the surrounding area the choice is easy.  Call A River City Plumbing.  For a limited time they are offering $40 off for any drain cleaning review.  Do not let a clogged drain ruin your happy home!  Before any potential disaster strikes call A River City Plumbing.  Those numbers are (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Idaho.

What is Hydronic Heating.

This is not exactly a topic that pops up during cocktail parties.  What do you think of the current political climate?  I don’t know, but I am concerned about my hydronic heating!  If you are a home or business owner you merely are concerned about comfort.  In all seasons, that is what matters most.

Hydronics is defined as the use of a liquid heat-transfer medium in heating and cooling systems. The working fluid is typically water, glycol, or mineral oil. Some of the older and most common examples are steam and hot-water radiators.  It simply heats water and moves it through sealed pipes to radiators throughout the home.

So, whom in the Spokane and the Coeur d’Alene area is an expert in the area of hydronic heating.  No surprise here…it is Dan and his professional crew at A River City Plumbing.  When the issue in your home is hydronic heating, pick up the phone for a visit from Dan.  Call (509) 954-6567 before the problem gets out of hand.

Yikes…Where’s the Hot Water?

Homes don’t function without hot water, so how is your water heater doing these days?  How often do you think that your water heater should be inspected?  Whether you knew this or not, it depends on the number of people who live in your household.  Most of us don’t give that fact enough consideration, but we should!

If only one or two people live in your home, then your water heater should be inspected every 6 months and drained every year.  If three or more people reside in your castle, then it should be checked out every quarter.  Now, be honest, who among us are that conscientious about their water heaters?

I know someone who is.  They are Spokane’s, Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls area water heater inspection, repair, and replacement professionals.  They are the great crew at A River City Plumbing Service.  Please visit the new website at http://www.arivercityplumbingservice.com/ to see the full range of plumbing services that they offer.  Then call (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Idaho for their expertise.
