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.
