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.

How Often Should Catch Basins Be Pumped Out?

A catch basin is a drain located on your property, either in the front yard, backyard, or the gangway. Its sole purpose is to trap grease and debris before it enters the sewer pipe. Periodically, the catch basin will need to be pumped before debris and pollutants can clog the catch basin completely.

With the help of the state of the art features on our high powered pumper truck we're able to remove the grease and debris before or after you experience a clog. Eliminating grease and debris can prevent costly flood damage to properties. It also prevents pollution. As a rule of thumb, catch basins should be pumped once a year to keep everything flowing properly.

Prevent an emergency and call for catch basin pumping before it's a problem. Contact Chicago area Morning Noon and Night Plumbing at 773-880-0072 or online at www.morningnoonandnightplumbing.com.

Plumbing Tips For Fall

Chilly fall temperatures serve as a polite reminder that winter is on its way. There are steps homeowners can take to prepare for the plumbing troubles associated with Illinois' coldest months.

• Make sure outside faucets aren't dripping or leaking. If you do have a leak, call us before temperatures teeter around freezing. Be aware that when pipes freeze, water pressure builds, resulting in cracks - no matter if the pipe is made of plastic, copper or steel. Even a tiny crack can unleash more than 250 gallons of water in a single day.
• Disconnect outside water hoses. If left connected, water in the hoses can freeze and expand causing faucets and connecting pipes inside your home to freeze and break.
• If your home is equipped with an interior shut-off valve leading to outside faucets, close them and drain water from lines.
• Cover outside faucets using a faucet insulation kit.
• Insulate pipes in unheated areas, such as garages or crawl spaces. Apply heat tape or thermostat controlled heat cables around pipes that are exposed and prone to freezing.
• Your water heater works harder during winter months. Flush it out and remove sediment buildup which causes corrosion, shortens its life span, and reduces heating efficiency. Drain several gallons from the faucet near the bottom of the tank. Connect a hose to the faucet and direct water into a nearby drain.
• Carefully test the water heater's pressure relief valve (Danger: water is very hot) by lifting up on the lever and letting it snap back. The valve should allow a burst of hot water into the drainpipe. If not, call us to have a new valve installed.
