Drain Cleaning Tip 1 : How to Protect Your Drain System

Monday, February 18th, 2013

Saddleback Plumbing offers drain cleaning throughout the Irvine, CA area. Routine drain cleanings are just one way to protect your drain system. In this blog post, we’ve provided reasons that drain cleanings are beneficial, along with other preventive maintenance tips. Don’t hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

Professional Drain Cleanings

Professional drain cleanings are beneficial in many ways. They remove any clogs, build-up, or other debris in your drain pipes. They are an effective and safe way to clean your drains. Using a traditional snake or harsh drain cleaners can damage your pipes. Drain and sewer jetting uses a high-pressure water hose to clean out the pipes, which is very effective and faster.

Bathroom Drains

For your bathroom drains, be mindful of what you flush, and use hair catchers to prevent clogs. Slow drains or backups are commonly caused by certain materials or waste products that shouldn’t be flushed or put down the drains.

Kitchen Drains

Kitchen drains are susceptible to clogs from grease, food scraps, and other solids. Installing a garbage disposal will not completely solve this issue, but it can help. If you already have a garbage disposal, make sure you know how to operate it and what you can and cannot put in your disposal. Things like bones and coffee grounds can cause clogs and damage to the garbage disposal.

Feel free to contact the Irvine CA plumbers at Saddleback Plumbing if you would like more tips on how to protect your drain system. Contact Saddleback Plumbing today!

Never Attempt These Plumbing Services on Your Own

Monday, February 4th, 2013

At Saddleback Plumbing we have told our valued customers time and time again that the plumbing installation, maintenance and repair services needed in your home must be performed by a professional Tustin plumber. There is just no other way to ensure that your plumbing services are completed safely and effectively. A qualified, licensed plumber must handle any plumbing service you need in Tustin, CA. Some do it yourself type homeowners have a hard time accepting this very true advice, though. Here are a few examples of some very real reasons why you should not attempt to service your own home plumbing system.

Never, ever attempt to service your hot water heater on your own. This very useful appliance can also be very dangerous if it is compromised by a novice attempting to service it. As water is heated it not only gets hot but also builds up pressure. Attempting to service you water heater on your own puts your safety at risk as well as the condition of your house. Keep the hot water inside your water heater where it belongs. Call a professional plumber for any water heater repair in Tustin.

Another very helpful but potentially dangerous part of a home plumbing system is the natural gas lines. Never, ever attempt to pipe natural gas into your home on your own. You will be putting your home at risk for exposure to a carbon monoxide leak or fire. It is just not worth it. You may even be in violation of local laws and insurance policies. Do the right thing for your safety and safety of your home and family. When you need a natural gas appliance hooked up or if you suspect a leak in your natural gas line, call a professional Tustin plumber. Only then can your natural gas problems be resolved safely.
