Improperly installed plumbing pipes are mostly the reason for freezing pipes. Lately we have had record low temperatures causing water lines to freeze. Running water pipes in exterior walls is mostly the cause. This is never a good idea.

Keep your drains unclogged
Last week while putting in a water heater for a customer in Collegeville, the customer asked ” what do you suggest for a drain cleaner product?” I reply like I often do when asked this question, “use a force cup”. Then I get a puzzled look, like what is a force cup? Well a plunger is the answer if that doesn’t do the trick then pouring chemicals down is often a bad idea. From my experience this can cause more problems than solutions. I have seen pipes destroyed by these methods. Also it can lead to an odor that remains for a long time. So if a slow drain is your problem let me come by and run my electric drain machine though and clear the obstruction.
Holiday gift idea
I have installed plumbing on more than one occasion that was a gift to a relative. Not a bad idea, if you know your son daughter mom or dad or grand parent needs a plumbing fixture. Buy them a faucet wrap it up and have the install scheduled for after the holiday! We would be glad to help.
Guest for the holidays
Guest bathrooms can need attention and lack of use can be the culprit. Many people feel plumbing that is not used is not going to need work. This can be just the opposite. Some faucets get cranky when they are ignored, they may get hard to use and leaky. The best thing to do is exercise them often and keep them moving and lubed.
