WARNING TO DO-IT YOURSELFERS!

Many do-it-yourselfers discover that simple plumbing repairs are completely within their scope of ability. Replacing a leaky toilet, for example, is an involved process but not overly complicated. Pipes for drains and sinks are standard sizes, and will come off with traditional wrenches without much effort. Many drainage problems can be solved with 'over the counter' products such as chemical clog removers and pipe cleaners. But the relative ease of these repairs can lull an inexperienced do-it-yourselfer into a false sense of security. Flooding and excessive water damage can be two of many problems associated with improper plumbing repairs.

Much like electricity, you can't always be sure that all the connections are closed before you begin a major repair. Any plumbing job that involves a broken pipe that you can't see or reach should be handled by professional plumbers. They have several methods of finding hidden breaks in pipes, and know how to repair them with little collateral damage. Any connection problems with the main line to the outside water supply should be handled by professionals or utility crews.

One mistake could affect many other customers. Also, any drainage problem that is not cured by one or two applications of a commercial drain cleaner should be reported to the pros. You'll need to have some pipes snaked out or have the drains inspected for blockages. Professional plumbers have the right tools to do a thorough cleaning, not the temporary fix that a do-it-yourselfer might achieve on their own. So, please if you have any questions about the problems in your home, please contact us today, or call 877-247-8807

Plumbing Emergencies - What to Do!

Pipe leaks – Joints that have corroded or frozen (and burst) will leak. Tightening a threaded joint or re-soldering (or re-gluing) it may cure the leak. Burst pipes can sometimes be mended with a clamp-on pipe patch. If not, they must be replaced.

Leak in a wall – Most often caused by a faulty riser pipe to a shower or to fixtures on a higher floor. With this situation it is best to get professional help. A reputable plumber should be able to tell you whether he has to cut into the wall to make the repair.

Overflowing toilet tank – A toilet tank overflowing into the toilet bowl will be heard long after flushing. Close the tank shutoff valve. Access the water closet where the flapper valve is located. Lift the float by hand. If the water stops, bend the float arm slightly to lower the float. Flush and test again. Adjust as needed. If the flowing persists I suggest replacing all the components in the water closet.

Stopped up sink drain – First try a rubber plunger. If this doesn’t break the clog then try a chemical drain-opener following the directions on the container. If this fails put a bucket under the trap (the U-shaped pipe), loosen it and remove it. Most home improvement stores sell a clog removal device made just for this problem. Remove the clog, usually hair and soap then replace the trap and run hot water for a few minutes to flush everything out.

These are a few of the common plumbing emergencies you may encounter. Most can be corrected by the homeowner without resorting to a plumber. If you encounter a problem you feel is more than you can handle then call Jones Services Company immediately. The longer you wait the more costly damage that may occur.
