Fayetteville Plumber

You probably don’t spend too much time thinking about your plumbing system, but we recommend staying on top of regular maintenance services. Schedule professional plumbing inspections at least once every two years. These inspections can significantly lower the risk of repairs and extend the lifespan of your system.

It never hurts to have your plumbing system maintained and checked on a routine basis by professional plumbers to ensure everything is in tip-top shape. This can include:

• Performing drain camera checks to look for any damage or corrosion
• Drain cleaning
• Checking for potential clogs in sinks, toilets, and showers
• Checking plumbing fixtures for appropriate water pressure

Routine plumbing system maintenance could help prevent emergency plumbing situations and more costly plumbing repairs down the road.

From smells to messes to unwanted residue, a clogged drain can be a serious inconvenience and nuisance. Watch out for signs like water draining extremely slowly, gurgling sounds coming out of your drains, and even foul smells in the kitchen or bathroom.

Only flush toilet paper down your toilet! We know how tempting and convenient it may be to use flushable wipes in place of toilet paper. However, flushable wipes do not break down and dissolve the way toilet paper does. That means they can clog your drain pipe, leading to emergency plumbing situations (such as leaking pipes, sewage damage, and water damage) and costly repairs.

Napkins, paper towels, Kleenex, sanitizing wipes, and floss are other items that should not be flushed down your toilet for the same reasons: all of these do not break down in your plumbing system and can clog it. To help prevent toilet clogs, always make sure you have enough toilet paper at home and dispose of everything else in a waste paper basket.

We're subject to cold winters in Fayetteville, which means burst pipes can be an issue.

To help prevent your pipes from bursting, you should do the following tasks:

• Ensure your thermostat is set to at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Turn on a faucet so a little bit of water is running through your pipes.
• Cover exposed pipes with insulation.
• Open your sink cabinets to allow warm air to reach the pipes.
• Shut off the water valve to outdoor spigots.
