Every home needs reliable plumbing in order to function. Without plumbing, we wouldn’t have access to potable water for drinking, cooking, cleaning and farming. Plumbing is simply necessary to modern life, and while plumbing systems and appliances are built to last, everything wears out sooner or later. As a homeowner, you’re going to have to deal with plumbing problems eventually, and if it can’t be solved with a plunger and a little elbow grease, you’re going to have to call in a trained professional to take care of it.
But who should you call? There are a number of plumbing companies in the area, and most of them can do the job with at least a basic level of competence. But you want a plumber who goes above and beyond every time, and who you can rely on year in and year out: especially if an emergency arises and you don’t have time to hunt around. In the end, only you can determine the best service for your home. There are, however, a few guidelines you can look for to help you make up your mind.
Clogs are a part of life when you own a home. You pour the wrong food down the drain or the toilet backs up, or sometimes things just build up. Clogs are a pain because they can prevent you from using the affected outlet and create an unnecessary distraction from our busy lives. Most of us look for a quick fix solution, which usually involves buying a drain cleaner from the local grocery store, or perhaps a plumbing snake for the really tough clogs.
Plumbing clogs are a big issue during the holidays. The end of the year comes with some very big meals, and yet because we’re so busy, we don’t always have time to watch what we flush down the drain.
Water heaters are a staple of most modern homes: providing heated water safely and effectively as easily as turning on a tap. They’re located in quiet corners of the house, such as the basement where no one visits especially often, and they usually do their jobs silently and without fuss.
Most homes in the area use traditional tank water heaters, which use a large cylindrical tank to heat the water before sending it into the pipes of your home. They work extremely well, which is why they’re so popular, but they’re not the only type of water heaters out there. Tankless water heaters do the job just as effectively and bring some benefits to your home to boot. How do they work, and what do you stand to gain by having one installed? Read on for the answers. 
Every plumbing system encounters clogs now and again. It’s an unfortunate reality of owning a home. While common, however, clogs should usually be dealt with by a professional plumber, who has the training and equipment to do the job far more effectively than any store-bought snake or cleanser.
Water heaters are one of the unsung heroes of our households: quietly and reliably providing hot water for cooking, cleaning and bathing. But because they’re so reliable – as well as being tucked away in seldom-used parts of the house like the basement – it can often be hard to notice the signs of trouble. That, more than any other factor, contributes to high repair bills: the homeowner’s unawareness of the issue until it’s too late. 
Texas winters tend to be milder and last for shorter periods of time than winters in other parts of the country. Chances are you haven’t used your air conditioner much in the past few months, but the weather will soon start warming, and before you know it you’re going to be using your air conditioner every day to keep your home cool.
