Myths
vs. Facts
Don't know fact from fiction when it comes to
plumbing concerns? Read on to learn the truth
about those clogged drains and other plumbing
headaches. You'll get some great advice to protect
your most precious assets�Ķyour personal property
and the people that dwell in it.
Myth #1: Using drain products
commonly sold in stores will unclog and maintain
the serviceability of kitchen and bath sink drains,
and they are not harmful to pipes.
Fact: Drain Oh should be spelled
Drain NO! Drain products sold over the counter
are very harmful to piping systems partly because
these products are manufactured with acid type
chemicals that eat away at the interior surface
of pipes, making them brittle and sometimes can
even burn a hole through the pipe interior. In
fact, they can cause pipes to be so brittle that
the next time a plumber is needed and uses a metal
drain cable (snake), the pipe can instantly crack
under the house. This obviously causes unsanitary
conditions, not to mention a very expensive repair.
Truth is, these products cause more harm than
good and often don't even come close to opening
the clog.

Myth
#2:
Picking up that one hair from the sink won't prevent
a clogged drain.
Fact: That long hair actually
does a lot to slow or stop up your drain. Bottom
line, pick up every single hair from your sink
to keep the plumber away.
Myth #3: Plungers don't work.
Fact: Investing in a good plunger
can save you hundreds of dollars in toilet clogs.
The thicker, softer tissues that we use today
can clog toilets very close to the point of entry,
and using a good plunger to push the abundance
through is the most efficient way to keep the
free flow of life at full speed!
Myth #4: My water-saving toilets
have to be flushed twice to work right!
Fact: Truth is, if your water-saving
toilet is adjusted correctly there's really no
reason why you should need to flush more than
once.
Myth #5: If I do it myself, I
can definitely save money.
Fact: Of all the times I've gone
to homes and businesses where property owners
have tried to "do it themselves," I've always
noticed that they ended up making the problem
worse and increasing the cost to fix it because
the damage exceeded the original problem. Call
a reputable, licensed plumber first and save money.
Myth #6: When it rains, I have
no choice but to deal with flooding on my property.
Fact: There are several things
that can be done to allow the areas surrounding
your home to be as dry as you want it. Call PLUMBCO
to discuss the options.
Myth #7: There is nothing I can
do to stop my drains, pipes, sewer and toilets
from an occasional back-up, so I will only worry
if I have a problem.
Fact: Amazingly, up to 15% of
the value of your property is tied into your plumbing
system. That complex system of appliances, pipes,
faucets and fixtures provides life-giving water
for drinking and cleaning whenever you want it.
Protect your investment with proper plumbing maintenance.
Call PLUMBCO to discuss various preventative maintenance
options that should be performed on a regular
basis.
