The Speed of a Jet.

Do you have plumbing that is constantly acting up and you live in the Chattanooga area?  Perhaps you find yourself dealing with a seemingly endless string of clogs?  Do you live in an older home with a plumbing system that has seen better days?  If only there were some way to restore your pipes and keep them clean into the future.  The answer may be sewer jetting!

Sewer jetting also known as hydro jetting is an innovative relatively new method that we use to maintain the health of the plumbing system and to completely clear out the inside of pipes…yes, even stubborn and hazardous main line clogs.  Plumbing snakes and chemical treatments may take care of a minor buildup, but it may be only a temporary fix.

If you call us at All Home Plumbing our expert technicians will determine the right method to use for your particular clogging problem in your Chattanooga home.  It is just one of the many plumbing services that we provide.  Visit us on the web at allhomeplumbing.com to see the others, then give us a call at (423) 598-1466.

Turn up the Pressure.

In most scenarios in life this may not be a good idea, but if your water department can’t deliver more pressure and you have a 3/4-in. or bigger copper or plastic water main coming into your house, you might consider installing a water pressure booster.  This will take the water coming in from the street and increase its pressure by means of an electric pump and a pressure tank.

A dial on top adjusts the pressure to a much more ideal setting of 45 to 55 psi (which stands for pound force per square inch.) The tank holds a reserve of pressurized water so that the pump doesn’t have to run every time somebody opens a faucet.  It also helps boost flow when the demand for water is high.

Do you live in the Chattanooga area and are a homeowner experiencing low water pressure?  If so, please think of All Home Plumbing.  They are a company that has helped local landlords and homeowners fight back against broken water lines for many years.  Call the Chattanooga water line repair plumbing pros at (423) 598-1466.

Let’s Make this Kitchen as Efficient as Possible.

No matter how your Chattanooga area family is put together any given number of family members in the home will all need to eat and drink.  When we do, we automatically expect that refrigerator to give us ice or make ice, or when we hit that switch for water we naturally want water to come out of that little area and fill our cup or glass with water.

When we're done drinking a glass of water or finish with a plate, or container of food, pots and pans, silverware, whatever...we toss them in the sink and they will eventually make their way into the dishwasher.  When we turn the dishwasher on, we automatically assume that it will clean all these dirty dishes for us, and when we open it they will all be clean.

Someone has to install that refrigerator and dishwasher.  That someone is one of our professional plumbers at All Home Plumbing.  Yes, in addition to any plumbing emergencies that may occur in your Chattanooga area home, we handle such mundane tasks as installing kitchen appliances.  Give us a call at All Home Plumbing at (423) 598-1466.  

RPZ Made Easy (To Understand)

RPZ valves are also called backflow devices.  What does RPZ mean?  It stands for Reduced Pressure Zone.  Why is it so important to many Chattanooga area plumbing systems?  Well, how about protecting the quality of your drinking water so that it remains free of contaminants and keeps your family healthy?

When a home in our area is equipped with an irrigation system or a fire suppression unit RPZ valves become required items in your castle.  Contaminants can also enter your irrigation system from fertilizer or pesticides that have been sprayed onto lawns.  In a fire suppression system, water sits stagnant or trapped which leads to a build-up of bacteria.

You are required to have your backflow system checked each year.  For that, the home and business owners of the Chattanooga area can always count on All Home Plumbing.  If you live in our area in or around Chattanooga please call All Home Plumbing for backflow checking or replacement at (423) 598-1466.
