Drain Cleaning Services in Mendon
For most homeowners, it's not a matter of if you're going to experience a clogged drain, but when.
And when you do have a clogged drain, you probably don't think of calling a professional plumber for help, but there are many reasons you should, and here are a few.
Drain Cleaners Are Dangerous
Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are typically the go-to choice for many homeowners to fix a clogged drain. But did you know these products can cause significant damage to your plumbing system?
Besides weakening plumbing joints, chemical drain cleaners can cause severe chemical burns if they get on your skin.
Simply put, it's not worth risking the health of your plumbing or serious injury using these products. It's safer to call a plumber for clogged drain repair.
You Don't Know What's Down There
When you have a clogged drain, chances are, you don't know the cause. Is it mineral buildup? Hair? Grease? Tree roots?
If you don't know why your drains are clogged, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to fix them.
Professional plumbers have years of experience identifying the source of plumbing problems, which means they can solve them more quickly and effectively.
Professionals Provide More Thorough Cleaning
While it's true that using a plunger or drain cleaner might solve the problem in the short term, in many cases, all these methods do is loosen the obstruction where it travels deeper into your plumbing system, and the problem rears its ugly head again.
Plumbers use drain cleaning techniques that remove the materials causing the clog, which significantly reduces the chance of the clog returning.
Professionals Use More Advanced Tools
You probably have a toolbox somewhere in your house, but do you have the necessary tools that professional plumbers use? Tree roots and other obstructions require advanced tools like hydro-jetting, which the average homeowner doesn't have.

Facts About Hot Water Tank Installation and Replacement
Hot water is a necessity, and your water heater works day and night to provide it. However, like all appliances, your water heater has a finite lifespan and will need replacing eventually.
It's not wise to wait until your water heater fails to replace it because, at that point, you're rushed into buying a system and can't weigh your options. This is why it's better to install a new system when your current model starts to show its age.
Here are the most common warning signs that you should plan on replacing your water heater soon.
Rusty Water
Water heaters use a sacrificial anode rod, which attracts particles that cause rust—the anode rod' sacrifices' itself by corroding, which protects the metal tank.
But, if you don't replace the anode rod regularly, it stops working, and rust forms on the tank's interior, eventually getting into the water.
Rusty water typically means the corrosion is past the point of no return, and replacing the water heater is the only option.
Loud Operation
A water heater shouldn't make noise when it's running. So, loud popping or rumbling sounds mean there's an issue.
These noises come primarily from sediment buildup in the tank, which causes burners to fail and a decrease in system efficiency.
Depending on how much sediment is in the tank, you might solve it by flushing out the sediment. However, in instances where the sediment is thick and hard, you must replace the tank.
Loss of Hot Water Volume
Another sign that your water heater is reaching the end of its life is when you stop getting the amount of hot water you're used to. This can be the result of sediment buildup or a damaged burner.
Age
Lastly, your water heater's age should dictate when to replace it. The average lifespan of a gas water heater is about 15 years. So, if your system is getting long in the tooth, it's best to replace it preemptively before it fails.
We recommend regular hot water heater maintenance to keep your water heater running efficiently and extend its lifespan for as long as possible. Call Fischer Plumbing & HVAC for more information.
