Your Sewer Does Not Know What Season It Is.

Do you think that the sewage system under your home respects the fact that winter is about to hit with full-force?  It is important to consider a major winter issue that could affect your system and cause an immediate need for repair.  At Bee Plumbing Inc. we are often called to clear ice around sewers to keep them flowing freely.

After the snow begins to melt but the ground near the drains is still cold enough to freeze, it is important to call in a sewer repair expert.  Ice can cause sewers and pipes to freeze and sewer lines to back up.  A frozen sewer line, or a sewer trap is not typically a common occurrence.  When it does occur, it can close down a drain system and cause a potential disaster.

Before winter hits us with full force, remember Bee Plumbing Inc.  When you need us for any drain cleaning or sewer repairs this upcoming season just give us a call.  We proudly serve the area around Sugar Grove, Yorkville, Sandwich, Plano, and Aurora.  For a complete list of the correct number to call in your area visit our website at www.beeplumbing-inc.com.

When Does a Toilet (or its parts) Need to be Replaced.

It is a question so many of us ask if we live in our Western Suburban Chicagoland home long enough.  The fast answer is that you don’t give it a second thought until something goes bonkers with your bathroom buddy!  Just like any other appliance in your home, it will certainly eventually need to be replaced.

What are some of the signs?

1.  Cracks in the tank.  Can this be repaired?

2.  Age.  Is it older than 25 years?

3.  The foundation is unsteady.

4.  It seems to need frequent tinkering.

Toilets are just another home appliance that demands attention every now and then.  When the time comes to repair or replace toilets in your home or office call on our area’s trusted plumber.  He is Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing Inc.  Go to bee-plumbinginc.com for a full list of areas he and his team service and the right phone number to call.

"For many of us, the Turkey Trot was that first race we ever ran as a kid. Maybe it’s the only race you’ll do all year. Point is, if you’re not running this Thanksgiving, you’re missing out on a pretty spectacular running tradition."

 

Backflow Testing around Chicagoland.

You know that not just anyone can test your Chicago area home for backflow problems.  It begins with 40 hours of classroom time…book learnin’!  Next, it becomes about paying for the privilege.  To become a certified backflow tester you must pay several hundred dollars.  Oh, and don’t forget the additional licensing when you are done.

On top of all that, a plumber needs to invest in what is known as a testing gage.  That too, will set the plumber back several hundred dollars.  He is not done yet.  Every two years a licensed backflow technician must be re-certified.  At that point, another eight hours or so must be spent in the classroom or online.

Then comes experience.  You need to be sure that the plumber who enters your home is an experienced backflow technician.  If you live in The Fox Valley and far western suburbs of Chicagoland the right man for the job is Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.  Go to bee-plumbinginc.com and call the phone number that corresponds to your area.

How Long Should You Wait for a Plumber?

When you have a plumbing emergency in your home or office how long must you wait for someone to show up?  Every minute that ticks by seems like an hour…doesn’t it?  Be careful when you seek out a plumber that services our area.  Some of them come from the bowels of Chicagoland and they may be an hour away…at least!

There are two obvious reasons why you want to hire a local plumber.  Speed, which we mentioned above in getting to you.  Also, consider the cost.  If you have an honest local professional he will pass the savings on to you.  The less he has to travel the more he will save…especially with these gas prices!

Do you live in or around Sandwich, Plano, Yorkville, Oswego, Montgomery, Sugar Grove, Algonquin, Aurora, Lake in the Hills, Barrington, or Crystal Lake then there is a plumber just for you.  It’s Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.  He even has a specific phone number depending on where you live.  Just visit www.bee-plumbinginc.com and give him a call.
