What’s in Your Water? A Guide to Water Testing

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

Have you ever poured a nice glass of water to drink on a hot day, only to be sickened by some kind of taste or odor that’s unpleasant? This isn’t just a natural part of the water your home is getting. It’s actually due to some contaminant in the water itself. Particles like bacteria or dirt can cause water to lose its deliciously refreshing taste and make it almost sickening to drink.

But going from this reaction to investing in a water purifier or filtration system can be tricky. How do you know which system to invest in? How do you know what specific actions to take for your water? This is where water testing in Appleton comes in.

When we test your water, we’ll tell you exactly what’s in it and contributing to the foul odors, tastes, or consistency. Then, we can recommend the best products to treat your water and make it more usable.

Sewer Services: Are DIY Repairs Ever a Good Idea?

Monday, May 13th, 2024

The short answer to this question is no, but it’s obviously more complicated than that. The truth is that many different types of home plumbing jobs can seem like DIY jobs if you just buy the right equipment or spend enough time. After all, time and elbow grease go a long way toward fixing 90% of the problems in your home. But sewer problems are not a part of that category.

Sewer repairs in Neenah need to be performed by licensed plumbers, like the ones on our team. It’s not just for legal purposes (which we will get into), but it’s also for your own convenience and budget. These projects can take a long time and require expensive equipment that might be too expensive to reasonably purchase on your own.

So, here’s our breakdown as to why sewer repairs are always a good idea when remaining in our hands.

Trenchless Pipe Lining: A Cost-Effective Plumbing Solution

Monday, April 22nd, 2024

Trenchless pipe lining is a revolutionary option for a lot of homeowners who need help with their underground plumbing components.

That was always costly and difficult, and it’s what made homeowners so concerned about underground leaks.

Well, times have changed. Thanks to newer technology like Kaukauna trenchless pipe lining services, plumbers can easily replace or repair your leaking underground pipe without digging up anything in the process.

Your garden and freshly mowed lawn can remain in pristine condition while we fix your pipes. But if this sounds too good to be true, or you’re looking for a “catch,” then make sure you keep reading to learn how this process works.

Drain Cleaning Chemicals: What NOT To Use for Your Drain

Most grocery stores have an aisle dedicated to plumbing “solutions.” Sometimes these can be filled with helpful tools like plungers and drain snakes, cleaning supplies, and materials like oxalic acid that can remove things like grease and stains from your plumbing appliances.
