Don’t Let your Faucets Freeze.

It may seem weird to talk about it now, but the time will come soon enough when winter weather hits and outdoor faucets freeze.  As water freezes, it expands and as it expands it can produce thousands of pounds of pressure per square inch. This pressure is what causes a water pipe to rupture.  It is just a scientific fact!

The surest way to prevent your outside faucet from freezing is to disconnect all of your outside hoses.  Now that is the smart move when the temperature drops drastically. Those of us who have lived in Chicagoland’s Northwest Suburbs will remember how quickly late summer turns into early winter in the blink of an eye.

If you have any plumbing emergency in our area a professional plumber is the safest and surest way to guarantee that the job is done right the first time.  Those pros are the teammates of Tom’s Plumbing Inc.  Mike and his staff have taken pride for many years in solving plumbing problems throughout Elgin, Dundee, Bartlett, Streamwood, St. Charles, etc.  Give them a call anytime at (847) 697-6444.

Memories of Floods Past.

It was not that long ago…August 22, 2014.  Do you remember that day?  St. Charles got five and a half inches of rain in just over 24 hours.  If you think that the Northwest Suburbs can’t flood in August, you would be dangerously mistaken!  Was it a surprise?  Sure it was, but Chicagoland weather is anything but predictable.

During a storm, excess water must be pumped away from your home.  That task is efficiently handled by a hard-working sump pump.  It’s one that has been maintained and is ready for use at a moment’s notice.  If you are not sure about the health of your sump pump you should have it inspected BEFORE an emergency.

Tom’s Plumbing Inc. has been repairing and installing sump pumps in homes and businesses around Elgin, St. Charles, Bartlett, etc. for more than 30 years.  If your sump pump is more than 6 years old, then seriously consider replacing it.  At least let the plumbing pros from Tom’s inspect it.  Call for an appointment at (847) 697-6444.

If the Drain is Clogged, DON’T Panic.

It is such a natural thing to do.  If your car breaks down and you pull it to the side of the road your first inclination is to panic.  If your air conditioning system conks out it is natural to push the panic button…especially this time of year.  Things happen when you own stuff like a home and a car.  Take a deep breath!

What happens in your home to keep a drain from backing up?  Here are just a couple of tips.  Never, never, never pour grease down the drain.  What is bound to happen is that it will clog the pipe.  DO NOT use household drain cleaners.  As often as not, they will just promote damage to your piping system.

Here is a do.  DO call Tom’s Plumbing Inc. when drains clog in your home or office.  A professional Northwest Suburban drain cleaning company such as Tom’s will clear up the problem the first time…guaranteed!  Trust Mike and his crew with any plumbing emergency in the Elgin area by calling (847) 697-6444.
