Gas…No Laughing Matter.

Does your Spokane or Coeur D’Alene area home have dangerous gases seeping into it or your business and putting you and your family in harm’s way due to a higher risk of gas explosion and household fires?  If proper safety steps are not taken to protect against gas leaks, they can lead to a dangerous situation.

Here are a few fire protection tips –

1.  The piping must be rigid…loose pipes may result in leaks.

2.  A correctly anchored grounding bar/post near the gas panel.

3.  Bond all piping and metal air ducts.

Anything, I mean anything that can be done to reduce gas leaks in your home is a positive thing!  To check for and repair those leaks please call us immediately at A River City Plumbing.  We will replace or repair any leaky gas lines to keep your family safe.  Here are the phone numbers to call (208) 659-6565 if you live near Coeur D’Alene or (509) 954-6567 around Spokane.

It’s Next Winter.

What?  We haven’t even gotten through this one yet and we are already talking about the winter of 20/21.  The reason I bring this up is that your home’s boiler may have been acting up recently (it is at least aging) and you may be thinking…oh well, I will just wait until next winter before I address the issue.

People who come into your Spokane or Coeur D’alene home are slower this time of year.  You have time to do some comparison shopping before deciding on that new boiler.  You can plan your home’s budget much easier by calling a boiler repair and replacement pro this time of year.  It is logical to assume that it’s not going to heal itself this summer!

For these and other reasons you should consider replacing your boiler in the spring.  Contact us at A River City Plumbing.  We will give you what you need to know on the subject of boiler replacement and you will hear it from the very best in the business!  Call (208) 659-6565 if you live near Coeur D’Alene or (509) 954-6567 around the Spokane area.  

Plumbers or Plumbing Contractors…What’s the Difference?

A fair question indeed…how much difference is there?  Basically, if you have a common problem in your home's plumbing system you will probably deal with a plumber.  A plumbing contractor deals almost exclusively with new constructions, remodeling, and renovation…the water supply, the septic system, etc.

Plumbing contractors can do more complex tasks than a plumber, as well as doing all of the tasks that a plumber is able to do.  You might find a plumbing contractor working to construct a home's waste disposal system, installing gas connections and flues, or even working on water heaters, both gas and electric.

What do you need these days in the Spokane or Coeur D’Alene area?  Whichever it is, A River City Plumbing has all the answers.  For plumbing projects large and small just call A River City Plumbing at (208) 659-6565 in Idaho or (509) 954-6567 around the Spokane area.  They have the answers to your plumbing questions.

Keep on Pumpin’

Good advice if you’re a sump pump and you are protecting someone’s home in Spokane or Coeur D’alene.  You are the difference between a clean, dry home and an unmitigated disaster!  A sump pump system consists of four major parts: a ground water collection system, a sump tank, a pump, and an outlet drain.

Here are the basics of how they work.  Water is carried to the sump pump tank that is buried in the basement floor.  The sump tank, which is also called a “basin,” a “crock,” or a “sump pit”. It may be made of clay, tile, steel, concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene.  Though they vary in size, standard tanks are about 18 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 feet deep.

Knowing all of that is all well and good, but knowing who replaces and repairs them in the Coeur D’Alene or Spokane area is even more important!  The answer is A River City Plumbing.  Whenever you have a sump pump problem call A River City Plumbing.  That’s (208) 659-6565 or (509) 954-6567.

It’s Called the World’s Most Efficient Heating System.

That is high praise indeed!  It is hydronic heating and it is truly beautiful in its consistency.  The hydronic system simply heats water and moves it through sealed pipes to radiators throughout your home.  The sealed system can also be used to heat towel rails, floor slabs, even swimming pools, anywhere that it is needed.

With advances in the system, modern hydronics technology enables heat to be delivered precisely when and where it is needed.  Even multiple system configurations are possible with each being capable of meeting the exact comfort requirements of our Eastern Washington or Northwestern Idaho homeowner.
