Why You Should Install an Instant Hot Water Dispenser This Winter

Putman and Sons Plumbing Instant Hot Water Dispenser

An instant hot water dispenser can make winter much easier. It’s usually installed alongside the main kitchen faucet. Turn it on, and it will instantly dispense water that’s at near-boiling temperatures. Why should you install a hot water dispenser before the snow flies?

  • Instant Hot Water Makes Cold Days Bearable – You don’t want to have to wait for a hot cup of tea or coffee when it is cold outside. A dispenser lets you access hot water on demand. Make your favorite winter beverages faster so you can warm up sooner.
  • Using a Dispenser Will Cut Down on Energy Costs – A hot water dispenser can be less expensive energy-wise to use compared to heating water in a kettle on the stove. This is especially true if you use a lot of hot water during the winter months.
  • Spend Less Time Cooking Meals & More – Cooking can be time-consuming, especially if you have to feed a family. Cut down on meal prep time by having hot water ready when you need it. It will take less time to boil water and complete other tasks that require higher temperatures.
  • Can Use a Filter to Keep Water Clean – Hot water dispensers can be equipped with filters, so you get the cleanest liquid possible each time you use it.

Make this winter easier by having a hot water dispenser installed in your Southeast Michigan home or business. Contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing today to learn more about cost and installation.

Common Causes of Foul Odors Coming from Your Drain

If you notice foul odors coming from your drain, there may be a problem. The first thing you should do is identify what is causing the issue.

  • A Dry P-Trap – The curved length of pipe under the sink is called the p-trap. Water is supposed to remain in the curve to serve as a plug that stops gas from the sewer system from coming up. If it goes dry, it will not serve this function and allow odors into your home. Make sure to run water in sinks that don’t get much use to prevent this problem.
  • Clogged Vent – Vents are necessary to release gas from the sewer system, usually extending to the roof. If a vent pipe becomes clogged, it could cause gasses to enter your home. Due to the position of the pipe, you may need to call a professional to clear a clogged vent.
  • Blocked Drain – If you notice a rotten egg smell, it could be biofilm buildup from a drain clog. To remove the bacteria, you must clear the blockage. This may be done using a drain cleaner product or boiling water.
  • Sewer Line Blockage – A blockage may also exist deeper in the system along the main sewer line. When this happens, you will likely have to call a plumber to snake the line.
  • Mold Growth – Musty smells can be a sign of mold in the drain. Per the EPA, as long as the infected area is less than 10 square feet in size, you should be able to handle it yourself. Vinegar, boiling water, and baking soda can be used to remove mold.

If you have trouble identifying the cause of drain odors, a professional can help. Call Putman & Son’s Plumbing 24/7 plumbing services located in southeast Michigan to stop sewer smells and remove blockages.
