Check Your Toilet’s Flush

Putman and Sons Plumbing Check Your Toilets Flush

Many people spend the majority of their bathroom time on the toilet. This is the most essential seat in the house. A poll consisting of 2,500 people found that most spend an average of an hour and 42 minutes on the toilet weekly. That comes to nearly 92 days in an average lifetime. When your commode stops working, it can wreak havoc on your household.

Water Won’t Stop Running Unless I Hold the Handle

If you have to jiggle or hold the handle to get the toilet to stop running after a flush, then chances are something is wrong with your tank parts. These components don’t last forever and may need to be replaced from time to time. Doing so will ensure that your toilet works properly and can lower your water bill.

I Can See Visible Cracks in the Tank or Bowl

Most toilets are made of porcelain, which can crack and chip. Damage to the tank or bowl can be a big problem. Even a small crack can allow water to leak out and lower efficiency. If ignored, a crack can eventually grow and cause serious water damage inside your home. Some damage can be repaired using plumber’s putty or silicone sealant. Others may require a new toilet.

My Toilet Won’t Flush Anymore or Requires 2 Flushes

Toilets that won’t flush or require two flushes to work can be tricky to diagnose. It could be an issue with the lift chain, water valve, or flapper. The best way to find and solve the problem is with the help of a professional plumber. Call Putman & Son’s Plumbing 24/7 hotline today to schedule an appointment for your malfunctioning toilet.

Earth Day – Green Plumbing Can Help the Environment

Putman and Sons Plumbing Earth Day 2019

Green Plumbing will cost you more initially but the return on investment is worth it. Not only will you conserve water, save energy and help the environment but your monthly utility bills will decrease over time.

Green Plumbing should not be thought of as just a long term cost savings. Clean plumbing should be your choice to provide a healthier home environment, cleaner water and conserving valuable resources for our children, grandchildren and generations to come.

You do not have to go green all at once. If we all take small steps, everyone can be a part of helping our environment. If you are in need or are interested in green plumbing services, contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing. We can help you make smart choices and the right steps to make your home or office environmentally friendly.

Is Your Plumbing System Ready for the Warmer Temperatures?

Spring isn’t just about gardening. It’s also about making sure your plumbing system is performing at optimum levels. What can you do to prepare your plumbing system for the warm season?

Test Water Pressure for Leaky Pipes

A pipe may start leaking long before you notice any water in your home or on your property. Check water pressure throughout your home to ensure that it is performing at optimum levels. If you notice a drop in pressure, this could be a sign that something is damaged.

Make Sure Your Sump Pump Works

If your home has a sump pump, now is a good time to check on it. It should be tested once every three months. Check all components including:

  • Drains that lead outside that can become blocked by debris
  • The pump to ensure that it hasn’t tilted or shifted
  • Electrical wires and the battery for signs of damage or corrosion

To test your sump pump, pour water into the pit. Fill until the float rises and watch to make sure it responds like it is supposed to.

Clean Gutters and Plumbing Vents

Animal activity can also be a problem. Squirrels and birds tend to build nests, and they may choose your gutters or vent as their new living space. These should be cleared out immediately to protect your home. It’s also best to move wildlife off before they get comfortable and start having babies in your plumbing vent.
