Drain cleaning in River Falls
Slow and clogged drains are one of our most popular calls. The first sign of a clogged drain is a slow drain. If you take care of it when it starts to get slow, you won’t end up with an emergency call to us.
You can reduce the amount of buildup in your drains with a few simple tricks:
- Use a screen over your shower drain
- Avoid bar soap that contains animal fat–it is very difficult to break down!
- Use a strainer when washing dishes in the kitchen sink
- Run a little extra water when brushing your teeth
Small leaks can mean high utility bills
Sometimes that dripping faucet takes a backseat to your other priorities. But all those drips add up and it’s likely that you’re paying higher utility bills because of it. A dripping faucet can waste 1-2 gallons of water per day!
A leaking toilet can be a much bigger problem. A minor leak could waste 30 gallons per day. A medium leak could be anywhere from 30-300 gallons per day and a major leak could be upwards of 1,000 gallons. You’ll notice this one on your utility bill when it comes. If you have a toilet that seems like it’s constantly running, it’s best to repair it soon before it costs you more money.
Another area we often find leaks are outside faucets. These go unnoticed because they simply drip straight into the ground.
Hard water in River Falls
Much of River Falls suffers from hard water. Hard water is safe to drink but it can cause staining on your sinks and showers as well as a buildup of minerals in and on your appliances. With hard water, you will likely see dry skin and hair too.
As for your appliances and fixtures, hard water can cause corrosion on faucets and showerheads. It can also cause an excess buildup of sediment in your water heater. This sediment will settle at the bottom of the tank and result in the tank rusting and breaking down. Ultimately it will begin to leak from the bottom. Flushing your water heater regularly will help remove some of this sediment but the better thing to do is install a water softener.
Water softeners will eliminate any problems you have with hard water in your home. They require minimal maintenance and will extend the lifespan of your plumbing fixtures and appliances that use water (water heater, dishwasher, washing machine).
