Water Is the New Gold.

"Want not waste not." That's what Mom used to say; and she was right.


Americans often take for granted the amount of water used versus the amount of water that is necessary. On the west coast, they are experiencing a severe drought and having to conserve water.
We regard water as such a readily available commodity, but where will we be when it becomes as precious as gold?

Maybe that's the attitude we need to adopt regarding water. It is as precious as gold. It is the source of life. Without it, we are finished.

So why waste it? Do you have a drippy faucet you've neglected to fix for so long you now regard it as an ambient noise that helps you sleep? Would you let gold drip away so you can get some shut eye? Doubtful. The same credence should be applied to water. Because in the end, a leaky faucet will yield gold alright, in the form of an outrageous water bill.


Plus, there is a moral issue here. There are many parts of the world where water is in fact regarded as gold and one may have to  travel many of miles in pursuit of it. 

There are a few ways you can conserve water. that are not only financially sound, they are morally sound. 

-Resist using unnecessary water. For instance, if it is the dead of winter and your rose bushes aren't in bloom, they probably don't need the automatic watering system pumping wasteful water into the frigid air. It's not only wasteful, it can cause a great deal of damage. Winterize your home. Remove hoses and tighten faucets. All outdoor watering should probably cease until late spring. So bring those hoses inside.

-Water runs through a multitude of channels indoor home. Your refrigerator probably has a small hose in the back to receive it's water source. Check inside and out of the fridge for any compromises to the hose. If it is old, replace it. Same goes for your washer and dryer. Your dryer may not use water, but many use gas. While your back there, check for any compromised hoses on all the above.

-Invest in a low-flow toilet. They are energy efficient and don't waste water. An investment that pays for itself.

-It sounds so simple, but so many forget... Turn the water off when you are not using it!

How many times have you been in the bathroom, brushing your teeth, with the water running. This isn't necessary. Wait until you're done to rinse the sink. It will rinse equally as well with one rinse instead of a constant stream.

Don't Use Harmful Chemicals To Unclog Your Drain.

Use common sense when deciding what to put down your sink's garbage disposal. Drains and garbage disposals are not trash cans. The day after a major holiday is typically the busiest time for plumbers. Large crowds with subsequently large meals result in everything from turkey bones to potato skins being thrown in the disposal. Even if the manual says that a disposal will effectively grind a golf ball, use caution when throwing items into the sink. Disposals were created to catch food remnants from dishes, not to dissolve full meals. When in doubt, use the trash.

Don't use harmful chemicals to unclog your drain. Those harsh chemicals can do more harm than good with repeated and frequent use.

The toilet is not a trash can either - Much like a disposal, the toilet isn't designed to dispose of anything but human waste. Don't risk a clogged toilet by putting items inside of it that could have easily gone in the trash can.

Be careful what goes in the laundry - A washing machine has a filter to catch various particles on clothing but it is not designed for major overloads of hair, dirt, or debris. Use caution when washing pet items, heavily soiled items, or rubber-backed rugs. Clean or shake off items before placing them in the washing machine to prevent clogs or more extensive damage.

These are a few tips to avoid costly repairs. Call us today for all of your plumbing needs, Morning Noon And Night!

The Dangers Of Pouring Drano Down The Toilet Bowl

Drano down the toilet bowl??? No!!!!!!!

Most Plumbers preach against the use of Drano and other harmful chemicals that claim to unclog anything. In some cases, it can be very effective. But to what extent?

In the case of toilets, any chemical you put in the toilet is going to stay there for some time, since the bowl fills with water and is slow to drain without flushing, the chemicals can settle onto the porcelain. Plumbers will tell you this is a bad thing because the chemicals in Liquid Plumr and Drano can heat up while standing in the bowl. This can result in a few expensive scenarios. The harsh chemicals could possibly crack the bowl, meaning you will have to replace the entire commode. It is even possible for the concoction to explode, leading to replacement of fixtures, furniture, and perhaps walls in your bathroom. Both are much more expensive than calling a us to manually repair the clog.

If you have non-galvanized pipes from yesteryear, Drano will eat through them like a hungry shark. Your best bet when facing a clog is a plunger. Yep. Simple, but effective. If that doesn't work? Call Us! We will quickly identify the culprit and remove it while preserving your pipes and porcelain.

How Can I Maintain My Garbage Disposal?

Minimize the Use of Your Garbage Disposal

If you’re able to compost vegetable waste at home, you can dispose of material like vegetable peels, cuttings, stems, seeds and coffee grounds by composting. Composting allows you to convert these waste items into a valuable soil amendment that you can use in your garden. Find out more about composting and compost bins. Save your disposal for the necessary stuff.

Dispose of Liquid Materials in the Garbage Disposal - If they’re not hazardous or made up primarily of fats or oils, liquids are safe to put in the garbage disposal.

A common garbage disposal complaint is bad odors. This is often due to a failure to run enough water through and ensure everything is adequately flushed out. To keep your disposal fresh and clean, consider the following tips:

Grind Thoroughly - Make sure you allow adequate time for everything to get ground and flushed with water. Leftover particles cause odors.

Clean Regularly - At least once a week, take a bottle brush and scrub inside the disposal. This small maintenance step will go a long way in keeping your disposal fresh.

Grab Citrus - Fresh orange, lemon, or limes can help cut grease and eliminate odors. Simply grind pieces in the disposal.

Vinegar is Good - Freeze some vinegar in ice cube trays and blend in the disposal. This helps to eliminate bacteria which can cause odor.

If you are careful with what you put through your disposal, and keep it clean, it should provide you with many years of carefree service.

How Do I Keep My Appliances In Good Condition For Years To Come?

It's pretty safe to say that most people aren't complaining that the water pressure in their home is too high. Typically, people can't get enough! So why would anyone want to install a pressure reducing valve in their home? Well, there are several pretty good reasons...

We all know appliances aren't cheap to replace. When spending that kind of money on an appliance you'll want to protect your investment and ensure it lasts for years to come. When the water pressure is too high it places stress on your appliances, dramatically reducing its lifespan. This applies to any appliance connected to a water line.

The same also applies to your home's fixtures. Finding a comfortable balance between what your fixtures can handle and how much water pressure it takes to get all of the conditioner out of your hair is important. Installing a pressure reducing valve could also save you money in the long run since you won't be using as much water.

The water pressure in most Chicagoland homes is around 40-45 psi and should not exceed 60 psi. If you find that your home does exceed that number you could risk a plumbing catastrophe. One of the most devastating things that can happen to your home is a flood, and a common catalyst is a burst washing machine hose. Think of how flimsy that rubber washing machine hose is, pair that with high pressured water gushing through your washing machine and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

Have your water pressure checked to preserve the life of your home and the appliances in it. Contact Chicago area Morning Noon and Night Plumbing at 773-880-0072 or online at www.morningnoonandnightplumbing.com for assistance with any of your plumbing needs.

Tips For Checking Any And All Hoses Connected To Your Appliances

It's the simple things that save a lot of time and money when it comes to plumbing. Have you done a hose check in your house? Are you wondering, "What is a hose-check?"

Several appliances in our home often receive water through hoses in lieu of pipes. Pipes, especially modern galvanized ones, can withstand decades of use, but hoses on the other hand are just that. Hoses. Not galvanized, not strengthened, barely improved on technology. As a result, doing a "hose-check" will prevent damage to your home and expensive appliances.

Hoses generally last about five years. They are susceptible to harsh conditions, they can clog, dry, crack, etc. Good news is they're cheap. Bad news is if you don't do a hose check you may find yourself with a flooded basement, kitchen, or laundry room that can cost thousands to repair when all you had to do was a "hose-check".

Do yourself a favor and walk around your home checking hoses. Check the washer, refrigerator, dishwasher et al. Anything that receives its water source by way of a rubber or plastic conduit. If any of them look less than tip top, replace them. You'll save a fortune!

What Are The Steps To Take When You Have A Faulty Sewer Line?

Our sewer lines are one of those things that we don't give much thought to until something goes wrong. You may start to notice a problem when you hear gurgling noises from the toilet, or when water drains more slowly than usual, or when a smelly sinkhole appears in your yard. A foul odor may become apparent, starting in your basement. This is a strong sign that the sewage from your house is not reaching the city sewer line.

What To Do If You Have a Faulty Sewer Line:

Call Morning Noon and Night Plumbing to investigate the issue, which will most likely start with rodding the sewer line to clear it of any obstructions. If we encounter an obstruction where we cannot pass it is usually a strong sign of a cracked or broken sewer pipe.

Once we've evaluated the obstruction or damage, we then determine the solution that is best for you. Whether it is a repair or a replacement, we do it all.

It is very common and understandable that property owners may not want to deal with potential sewer line issues as it can seem stressful. However, when it comes to sewer lines issues, the problem will not remedy itself and will get worst over time. It is best to call a professional when experiencing any sign of a problem with your sewer as it is very possible that you can prevent a further cost and damage when taking precautionary measures.
