Drain Cleaning Carol Stream

One of the most problematic lines you encounter is the drainage line. This is because most people dump anything down the drain and expect it just to go away, but that is not always the case. Liquids that can solidify, like grease or soap, will build up along the inside of the lines and eventually lead to a clogged pipe Addison. When a pipe is clogged, there is one tried and true method of clearing the pipe. That is to break up and push the clog down the line. The Romans did this by placing a wooden ball into the line and having pressure from the water push the ball down and pushing any build up down the line. Modern plumbers use a snake or rod to break up clogs in the line, or a bladder to push the material down the line like the Roman wooden ball. Chemical solutions do work. However, they can cause damage to the pipe and cause it to break leaving all the waste being deposited into your home instead of the sewer. Simple clogs can often be cleared using a plunger. That uses water pressure to push the clog down the pipe like a bladder, though if the clog is not complete the water can go past the clog without breaking it apart. Our plumbers can bring the right tools for the job to your plumbing problem.

Fixtures do more than look good; their functionality came out of desire and ingenuity. Toilets use to be just a hole that leads to a pipe which may or may not have water flowing to take the waste away, faucets use to be an indoor pump, and showers use to be a bucket of water that you had to keep refilling. With the invention of public plumbing and pressurized water delivery, modern bathroom was born. Toilets could have their own water reserve that would be automatically refilled, faucets were more on/off valves than a pump that had to be primed and manually powered, and showers gave people an endless cascade of water without having someone bring more buckets, but like most things they are prone to failing. Modern toilets have lots of moving parts compared to their predecessors. Faucets are constantly being used and with exposure to water corrode. Showers get clogged and don’t work right after. Our plumbers can help fix all these problems and more! With over 28 years of experience, we’ve just about seen it all, and that helps us get the job done quickly. Fixture repair, or fixture replacement, Carol Stream, will not only help you get back to enjoy this modern marvel, but help gives your home the style you desire.

Burst Pipes Carol Stream

When it comes to the water lines coming into your home, there is often one major problem that people have with them. The most common occurrence of a burst pipe is a frozen pipe. Water is unique in that it expands when it reaches the freezing point. This is why bottles and cans have a tendency of expanding in colder weather, and like those often experience, when the pressure inside reaches to great the material ruptures. This wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the fact that often times people do not realize a pipe burst until they discover water everywhere. Proper pipe insulation and keeping the home warmer than 58 degrees will help protect your pipes from the cold. Other reasons pipes burst is defects in the material, or the material itself. Iron or lead pipes wear out over the years. This often causes a slow leak that most people discover before it bursts, but a burst pipe is easier to discover than you think. If you experience lower water pressure on multiple fixtures around the same time, odds are you have a burst pipe.
