Plumbing Myths

As a homeowner, you have probably been involved in conversations about plumbers and plumbing. There are certain subjects you can believe and some you can’t. Let’s talk about them.

A dripping faucet IS a big deal. Some may say “out of sight, out of mind.” Don’t believe that. A dripping faucet is a big deal. You are wasting money as time goes on if it’s not fixed. A dripping faucet that has been continual for a while, could erode older pipes. It’s best to take care of it sooner rather than later. A plumber with A Rescue Rooter will take care of the leak and confirm that a leaky faucet needs repairing.

If a package says an item is flushable, flush it. That is false! Why manufacturers say that is ludicrous. Flushing anything thicker than toilet paper is asking for trouble. Anything else that is flushed regularly will cause your toilet pipes to clog. Just keep a small trash can in the bathroom to avoid flushing anything that is not toilet paper. Any reputable plumber will agree that toilet paper is the only item to be disposed down the toilet.

A noisy water heater should be replaced if it’s making noise. Like a car or anything else, perhaps it needs a repair. Call the experts at A Rescue Rooter. Let them either repair it or discuss with you if it needs to be replaced. Never assume especially if you haven’t had the water heater for a long time.

The water pressure in your home changes all the time. That is not normal and needs to be addressed. The water pressure should always stay the same. Fluctuating water pressure could be the sign of an issue in the pipes that needs to be looked at by a professional. Using a chemical liquid drain cleaner regularly is okay. That is myth. Once may unclog the drain but if the clog is persistent, call on A Rescue Rooter. They will find the source of the clog and resolve it permanently. More than likely, you weren’t aware of this plumbing myth and that’s absolutely fine.
