Finding A Plumber That Works 24 Hours A Day In Chicago

Does Your Plumber Keep Banker's Hours? Not Us!

It's 3 in the morning and you are rudely awoken to a geyser of water bursting from the wall. You think you're having a nightmare until you realize you're awake and you just had a pipe burst. You are in the midst of an emergency. Sounds melodramatic, but think about what kind of damage can be done if we were only available from nine to five.

If you had to wait until 9 am for us to arrive, your home would be practically submerged by the time we got there. That's why we offer 24 hour emergency service to both residential and commercial customers. Plumbing problems aren't just a daytime thing. We have you covered. While other Plumbers at other companies may punch out and close up shop, we'll be standing by waiting for your call.

What Is Mini/Hyrdo Jetting?

The holidays are fast approaching and that's usually the time when we ask a lot of our kitchens. On Thanksgiving alone we probably give our kitchen a workout equivalent to a months worth of cooking.

When cooking a meal for one or many, we leave behind grease and debris that can lodge itself into hard to see places. After time, grease, food particles, and grime can cling to the walls of your pipes, carrying harmful bacteria and inhibiting water flow.

To best prepare for the holiday season and make sure you don't run into a kitchen plumbing disaster, consider having your lines "mini-jetted" or "hydro-jetted" before you begin your Thanksgiving cooking. Mini/Hydro Jetting is a technique that employs the use of water at a high pressure up to 3800 psi at 15-18 gallons per minute to blast away fats, oils, and blockages.

Whether your needs are commercial or residential, we will send our experts out to de-grime and unclog every last particle that hides in your drains. Contact Chicago area Morning Noon and Night Plumbing at 773-880-0072 or online at www.morningnoonandnightplumbing.com for assistance in getting your kitchen back in tip-top shape for the holidays.

Toddlers And Toilets Don't Mix

Plumbers have an endless array of war stories concerning foreign objects they've retrieved from pipes. Here are a few tips to help ensure that your children don't cause a plumbing disaster...

Toilet Seat Lock

There are child safety locks available which can be purchased and installed on any toilet seat. This prevents small children from lifting the lid and falling in. It also prevents kids from throwing items into the toilet that don't belong there.
The child can still flush the toilet, which will waste water, but they won't be able to throw anything in the bowl. Without the excitement of watching the toilet flush, they are much less likely to pull the lever. Another option instead of installing a safety lock on the toilet lid, you could choose to install one on the bathroom door, but you will need to make sure you keep the bathroom door closed at all times.

Turning Off the Valve

There is a valve behind the toilet, which can be closed to prevent water from running to the toilet. You may choose to keep this valve off except when you actually need to use the toilet. This way, as many times as the child may flush the toilet, the water will only exit the bowl once, and the tank won't refill until the valve is switched back on.

Teaching Rules

Once the child is getting old enough to be potty trained, you should be able to teach them to operate the toilet correctly. Teach them when it is appropriate to flush the toilet, and when it is not. Walk the child through the entire process of a regular bathroom visit. Once the child understands the purpose of the toilet and begins to use it as intended, their interest in it will decrease. Eventually, a child will naturally exit this phase of mischief, but by using one or more of these prevention tips, you can make sure you can get safely through the phase without having to call a plumber once a week for costly repairs.

However, if you are in need of G.I. Joe, Barbie, cellphone, remote, or car key retrieval, contact Chicago area Morning Noon and Night Plumbing at 773-880-0072.
