Hello Up There…We’re Clogged.

If the drains coming into your home could talk, that’s what they might yell out.  Drain functionality is essential to the smooth operation of your home’s plumbing.  Every single time you turn on a faucet, run the washing machine, or flush the toilet, your drainage system should quickly remove waste water without a second thought on your part.

Here are some of the signs of a clogged drain –

1.  The drains are slowing down

2.  Water backs up and toilets gurgle when flushed

3.  There is the smell of sewage

4.  Tiny flies hover around clogged drains

5.  Listen for unusual noises like bubbling

When drain(s) become clogged in your home around the Central and Southern Fox Valley the man to call is Scott.  He is drain cleaning wizard Scott Swanson the owner of Bee Plumbing serving Fox Valley and the surrounding area for all its plumbing problems.  Please visit bee-plumbinginc.com and call the phone number nearest to your town.

Tank or Tankless…That is the Question.

Sometimes, that is exactly the question when your current water heater is about to give out.  Water heaters can be a costly investment for homeowners that you’ll be living with for over a decade.  When it’s time to replace your old water heater it’s important to consider cost, efficiency, and longevity of your new water heater.

What is a tankless water heater?  Tankless water heaters use high-powered burners to rapidly heat water as it runs through a heat exchanger and deliver it directly to your faucets or shower without storing it in a tank.  Tankless water heaters are usually powered with electricity or gas. These types of water heaters were found to be 22 percent more energy efficient!

So, it boils (no pun intended) down to this…initial cost vs. long-term efficiency and savings over time.  Tank or tankless…that is the question.  To get the right answer for your far-West Chicago suburban home contact the water heater installation and repair professionals at Bee Plumbing.  Just visit their website bee-plumbinginc.com and call the phone number in your area.

Business Owners…Remember your Sewers.

It may be one of the last things on your mind, but if a sewer backs up on your property (imagine your restaurant!) you could be shut down for days.  Knowing the condition of your pipes through regular inspection and maintenance may very well prevent a problem before it begins.  Business as usual is always your top priority.

To inspect your business's sewer line, a trained technician will come out and insert a professional video camera into your pipe and will inspect the line.  Since the operator is watching in real time, he or she is able to use the camera to view everything as it makes its way down the pipe from the time it is inserted.

Dirty business?  It can be.  The kind of work only a trained plumber should be asked to do…definitely!  That’s why, if you live in the Central or Southern Fox Valley you call Scott and the pros at Bee Plumbing.  What’s the right number to call?  Just visit their website bee-plumbinginc.com on the web and call the phone number that is right for your area.

Drip…Drip…Drip.

The old TV commercial referred to this as stomach acid.  When your faucets are dripping it is annoying and demands your attention.  So, you’ve cranked the handle on your bathroom sink faucet as far as you can without breaking it off, but the leaking still persists.  Should it be replaced or just repaired?

Here are some talking points –

1.  How much does replacement cost?

2.  How long will it take to merely repair it?

3.  Is the stop gap of just repairing it worth the cost?

Why not let a professional plumber in the far west suburbs of Chicagoland help you make that decision?  Call Scott Swanson.  Scott, or one of his qualified team will come to your office throughout the Fox Valley to troubleshoot the drip…drip…drip.  Just go bee-plumbinginc.com on the web and call the phone number that corresponds to your area.
