Better service inc 6 Tips for home owners

Moving into your first home is the best feeling ever! Although it comes with a new sense of freedom, being a first-time homeowner means that you must take care of everything from plumbing to cleaning. While most new homeowners find it exciting to learn things such as painting or installing flooring, they seem to always overlook plumbing basics. They only come to realize later that plumbing is one of the areas that can cause sleepless nights. While you can always call a plumber to take care of any problem with your draining system, simple things like knowing how to turn off the water until a professional arrives can prevent water damage. For those who have just purchased new homes and know nothing about plumbing, apart from turning on the shower, here are a few tips:
Schedule an Inspection
If you want to be in the loop with all plumbing and heating issues, you must start your new life in your new home by scheduling a plumbing inspection. Since most plumbing essentials are hidden from plain sight, professionals can show you where every essential item is located and provide you with a list of things that need maintenance or repair. They will also educate you on the things to look out for that will let you know if there is a potential plumbing issue.
Locate Your Home's Shut Off Valves for Both Water and Gas
The most crucial plumbing tips that any homeowner should learn first, are where the shutoff valves for their homes are located and how to turn them off. It would be detrimental if you started searching for a shutoff valve when water or gas has already started leaking. Knowing how to shut water and gas off from the main valve will ensure that a small issue does not become a catastrophe.
Invest in a High-quality Plunger
As a new homeowner, your first plumbing issue will be clogged drains, toilets and drains. However, if you have a high-quality plunger at your disposal, this will be a non-issue. This powerful tool can be used to suck up water and dust particles from any blocked drain allowing you to enjoy free-flowing wastewater in your toilets, bathroom drains, and sinks.
Learn What Goes Down the Garbage Disposal
It would help if you were careful what you put inside your garbage disposal. When hard substances find their way into the drainage system, they can cause a massive clog that can cost a pretty penny to unclog. Some of the things you should not put into the garbage disposal include rough bones, starchy vegetables, pasta & rice, non-food items, oil, grease, and fats.
Prevent Frozen Pipes
If you reside in a place with an extreme climate, you have to know how to protect your pipes from freezing during winter. It is crucial to ensure that all your outdoor pipes are winterized before the cold weather hits. Make sure that all outdoor pipes are covered, and the garden pipes detached. Frozen pipes can crack and burst open at any time, causing flooding in your home.
Have a Plumber's Number on Speed Dial
Although this might seem like a marketing strategy for plumbers, you must have an emergency number on hand since you never know when the next plumbing issue will arise. Ensure that you get the phone number from a licensed, insured, and high-qualified plumber who is available 24/7. When emergencies hit, they can give you heartache if you don't have a reliable plumber on speed dial.
Don't sweat it out looking for plumbers to solve your heating and plumbing issues, follow these tips and Contact Better Service Inc to enjoy the highest level of expertise and professionalism.

BACKFLOW PREVENTION

Normally, water flows forward from the city water supply system into your home. In Kansas City backflow is the 'backward flow' into the public water supply. This can be caused by either back pressure or back siphonage of your plumbing system. If water flowing backward contains hazardous chemicals, toxins, or bacteria, this can cause a very unhealthy and even dangerous situation for many people.
Your garden hose is actually the most common cause of backflow. For example, let's say you're watering your garden with a pesticide applicator attached to the hose. It can create a drop in water pressure in the supply system that causes a vacuum. This vacuum will pull the pesticide-laced water into your home & possibly your neighbors. The next time you or your neighbor's turn on a faucet, the water could be laced with toxic chemicals. Water pressure drops are not uncommon, it also can happen while a crew repairs a broken water main or firefighters put out a nearby fire.

ROOTER

Needing to rooter your plumbing and sewer lines happens from time to time; especially when company is in town. If you notice the need to rooter more frequently, or are having trouble with backups, it could be a sign that there is a larger issue at hand. Our expert technicians are able to identify the root cause to all of your drain problems and offer you multiple solutions that will last longer than your typical rooter service.

WHEN YOU HAVE A BACKUP, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S YOUR MAINLINE OR MAIN STACK?

Many homeowners don't know that there are some major differences between their mainline and main stack. We have separate departments that handle each. When you're having a backup in your home, being able to differentiate your mainline from your main stack could save you time and money.
Your mainline is a horizontal pipe that runs under the ground and outside the home. It carries your home's drain water to the sewer system or septic tank. Your main stack is a vertical pipe that runs from the roof to the bottom of the home. It typically has a clean-out that leads to the mainline. If you think you're having issues with your main stack,



YOUR MAINLINE

Your Kansas City mainline, or, main sewer line is a crucial part of your home's plumbing system where all your household drains lead. This line then connects to the city sewer line or a septic tank keeping your house clean and free of wastewater. However, this line can clog causing major problems such as flooding and damage.



WHAT CLOGS MAINLINES?

The most common culprit are the roots of things such as trees or bushes. These roots seek water from inside the sewer line. They can actually cause damage and breaks in the line so they can get the water inside. If they block the line too much, then the line gets clogged. Even if you snake out the roots, the rate at which they grow back can be less than a week! Another problem could include broken or collapsed pipes that are old and worn down causing a backup. There is also the possibility that the clogs can come from improper use of drains such as putting grease, trash, or large pieces of food down the drains.



SIGNS YOUR MAINLINE COULD BE CLOGGED

If you think that your mainline is clogging, you should stay away from any backup or smells. The odors that come from sewage are made up of carbon monoxide which can be toxic to you and your family. It is also important to stop using water until a technician is present as it could be making the problem worse and accumulating in the basement.
Common signals of a mainline clog are:
•Water or sewage backup
•Sewer odor
•Gurgling noises in drains or toilet
If you notice any of these signs that your mainline could be clogged, call Better Service Inc and schedule an appointment to clear the line and locate the problem today.



HOW IS A MAINLINE CLOG FIXED?

Our Kansas City main sewer line technicians use sewer drain snakes to break up clogs and open the line. However, a clog like this is a sign of a more serious problem. Snaking a main sewer line is only a temporary solution and can be hard on your pipes, but we offer multiple options to permanently prevent roots from coming back. This includes a high-quality camera inspection that can locate the source of the clog. Call Better Service Inc today for more information.
