The drain and sewer system that serves your house is designed so that bad sewage smells won’t get back up through the drains and into your living spaces. But at times you may run into one or more drains in the kitchen or bathrooms that are sending out awful odors. There’s no single reason for this: it could range from a minor trouble you can take care of in a few minutes to a major professional plumbing project. Below is a short guide to drain odors and what you can do to eliminate them.
When Drains Smell Bad: Why It Happens, What to Do
August 1st, 2016What Exactly Is Trenchless Technology?
August 1st, 2016One of the big advantages that we offer to our customers is trenchless technology to help them with repairs and replacements for sewer lines. When a sewer line develops a problem from breaks, leaks, and age, it’s usually difficult to fix because the sewer line is buried in a trench a few feet below your property. The standard method of repairing or replacing a sewer line is to use excavation equipment to dig down to reach the pipe. This often requires more than a day of labor and creates a mess across the property. But trenchless technology gives our plumbers the ability to handle a repair or replacement in only a few hours—and with almost no digging!
