Easy Ways to Minimize the Risk of Clogs

June 1st, 2020

There are certain annoyances in life that you just cannot get rid of. Mosquitoes. Hangnails. And yes, drain clogs. Does this mean that you have to suck it up and put up with clogs, though? That you can do nothing about it? Of course not. You wear bug spray, right? And you clip your hangnails before they can cause you much pain? Well, there are also some preventive measures you can take in order to minimize the headache of drain clogs.

It doesn’t mean that you’ll never run into clogged drains in your home, of course. No more than wearing bug spray will mean that you’ll never get another bug bite. Keeping these tips in mind and putting them into practice will help to limit the risk of clogs developing, though. And the best part is, they’re all quite simple! Just remember that when, not if, you do run into clogs in your home, our Sunny Plumbers in Phoenix are here to help!

Our Sunny Plumbers can handle anything that plumbing systems can throw at us, but we can tell you from experience that a prompt response is always for the best. Here are some common plumbing pain points that homeowners face.

One myth that some people get in their heads is that investing in copper piping is going to mean a problem-free piping experience for the rest of their days. That’d be great, we won’t argue that.

How You Can Help Alert Plumbers to Leaks

February 10th, 2020

Plumbing leaks are the quintessential plumbing problem. When you’re distributing water throughout your home, and you’re removing wastewater from your home, you can count on a leak developing at some point. There are just too many pipes and too many connections to ever guarantee a 100% problem-free situation. The “good” news is that plumbing leaks seldom develop and grow without any warning signs at all. Of course, the bad news is that too few homeowners recognize these warning signs and act on them.

And even plumbers of our caliber are going to benefit from being alerted to such problems early on. So be sure to reach out to us the moment that you suspect you have a plumbing leak in Phoenix, AZ.
