Run for Cover…The Pipes are About to Burst!

It should not be that dramatic to avoid the damages and expenses caused by burst pipes.  What causes your home’s pipes to burst during the winter?  The basic answer is that the water coming into your Chattanooga home from the outside is colder than it was during the warmer months.  The cold water causes your pipes to contract which can cause the pipe to burst.

Here are some tips in order to prevent disaster –

1.  Keep your faucets dripping in freezing temps.

2.  Direct warm air to the colder areas of your home.

3.  Leave your cabinet doors open where appropriate.

4.  Always disconnect hoses from outside spigots...you’re not using them now anyway.

5.  Seal up any possible leaks that allow cold air in.

Naturally, if you have any sign of burst pipes (or the threat of them) in your Chattanooga area home call us immediately.  We are All Home Plumbing here to minimize or even avoid the potential or real nightmare of burst pipes in your home.  All Home has the plumbers you trust for all of your home’s plumbing emergencies in Chattanooga.  Just call (423) 598-1466.

"Yay, it’s that time of year again–that time when we all feel compelled to make a date night happen, even if we haven’t gone out in months."

 

My Sump Pump is Freezing.

This time of year in Chattanooga the thermometer dips into the 30’s on a frequent basis.  Cold weather takes a toll on almost everything.  The truth is, basements tend to be colder and less insulated, which could potentially cause your sump pump to freeze.  A frozen sump pump could cause your home lots of damage!

Here are some things you can do to prevent sump pump failure in winter –

1.  Redirect the waterflow to make your sump pump’s work a little easier.

2.  Put heating tape around the intake and discharge line.

3.  Keep your home always above 55 degrees.

4.  Install a battery back-up.

For that final task as well as any maintenance or installation of a new unit please rely on the sump pump experts in the Chattanooga area.  That would be All Home Plumbing.  Sump pumps and their care this time of year is one of their many areas of expertise.  Call All Home Plumbing anytime at (423) 598-1466.

Guess What Room got a Workout this Holiday Season.

It’s almost over now, but during the last couple of months the room with the most activity in your home might have been the kitchen.  Thanksgiving dinner, holiday food preparation, the garbage disposal and the dishwasher working at full capacity.  If this sounds a little like the activity in your castle it may be time to reset!

Have you noticed that the garbage disposal is not quite as efficient as it used to be?  Are there any leaks below your dishwasher?  How about the kitchen sink?  Is it flowing freely without any signs of drip, drip, drip?  It is even possible that your refrigerator now needs repairing or replacing after this busy season.

All Home Plumbing to the rescue!  All Home Plumbing is exactly as the name implies when you need plumbing work in any room in your Chattanooga area home you give them a call.  They have been keeping things flowing in Chattanooga for more than two decades.  Have 2020 vision this new year and rely on All Home Plumbing at (423) 598-1466.

Once a Year…That’s the Law.

No matter where you set up shop in the Chattanooga area you MUST have a backflow test done on your premises every year…and then certified!  The backflow testing process typically takes about 20 – 30 minutes to complete, if there are no repairs that need to be made.  So, if all is well, it should be a rather painless process.

Why is it so important?  Well, drinking water flows through pressurized water taps from the source to your tap.  It generally flows in one direction but on some occasions, it may flow in the opposite direction, or what is known as “backflow”.  If it runs backward, then it is not suitable for drinking.

To book your annual backflow test call the Chattanooga plumbing experts at All Home Plumbing.  Look for that friendly reminder that you will get from your city.  It will be sent with a backflow test report form a month before it is due.  The next step is easy.  Just call (423) 598-1466 to book your backflow test with All Home Plumbing of Chattanooga.
