How You’re Supposed to Be Treated By a Plumber

Monday, December 21st, 2020

Something we don’t touch upon that often is the discourse around hiring a plumber in Boca Raton, FL. Plumbers can make homeowners feel guilty every time they show up because it seems like so many issues can be prevented. Homeowners can feel bad when they encounter a drain clog, because they might have accidentally flushed something they shouldn’t have down the drain. A plumber can amplify that feeling, and cause homeowners to resist calling for help until the very last minute.

We understand that homeowners can accidentally flush paper towels down the drain, or perhaps they never learned that fats, oils, and greases shouldn’t be sent down the drain. Our job isn’t to scold you, it’s to make sure your home plumbing problem is addressed effectively and affordably. You deserve to be treated right.

The Benefits of Video Pipe Inspection

Monday, November 25th, 2019

Generally speaking, nobody likes to get up close and personal with their plumbing. If your bathroom sink or your toilet is clogged, you’d rather not think about what’s clogging it—let alone have to dig out the clog yourself, right? Thankfully, technology has made this a little bit easier to deal with since we’ve got advancements like video pipe inspection, hydro jetting, and other pieces of equipment to deal with drains.

Back in the day, a plumber in Boca Raton, FL would have to literally rip open your plumbing system to see what was clogging it, remove the clog, and reinstall the pipe appropriately. Now, with video pipe inspection, there’s no need to haphazardly rip open an entire plumbing system while trying to play guess and check. A minuscule video camera is inserted into your drain on the end of a wire that can snake its way through to eventually reach the clog.

What’s the point of that? Well, keep reading and we’ll give you an answer.
