Prepare Your Home's Plumbing For Summer



Summer is in the air. The weather is warming and the birds are chirping. It seems like a great time to relax and kick your feet up, doesn’t it?

Well, there’s work to be done to transition your home from the winter and spring months to the summer months. During the winter and spring, leaves, debris, mud and gunk get caked on your home's exterior, rain gutters, pipes and more.

So, what can you do to ready your home for summer? You can start by calling us! We will do a thorough examination to make sure that all of your plumbing needs inside and out are working efficiently and are ready for the change of season.

You probably just got back to watering your lawn. Notice the pressure is a little low? Yep, Old Man Winter played havoc with your sprinkler system--and his partner in crime, Autumn, saw to it that not a drop of rain will make it out of those gutters. Dead foliage has found it’s way into your water system and intends on building a dam that would impress a beaver. All of that sediment and debris need to be removed in order for your home’s plumbing to run properly. Evidence of a clog in the trap is when all of your toilets make a gurgling noise. When the pressure is low and when water returns to the tub even after you’ve drained it; like a house guest that overstayed it’s welcome.

Is Your Disposal Working Properly? Are you Using It Properly?




Is your garbage disposal an angry, loud, picky eater and frequent break-taker? Well, it’s time for a new one. There is nothing worse than having to warn others you’re about to run the disposal. If it sounds like a Harley Davidson and rattles like a semi truck, it’s outdated and inefficient.

Your garbage disposal shouldn’t scare animals and induce flashbacks in humans. It should grind and properly dispose of the waste--quietly.

Give us a call today for information on models and installation. We offer the most competitive rates in town and will guarantee our work. So stop letting that Huey Helicopter you call your disposal scare everyone and invest in your future. Your quiet, efficient, green, future.

Tips For Your Home's Plumbing System To Aid Against Plumbing Problems

With the first day of spring just around the corner, here are some spring cleaning tips for your home's plumbing system to aid against plumbing problems in the future:
  • Do a check of all faucets for drips and leaks. Repairing these can save you money and conserve water. 
  • Double check all toilets to make sure they are free from hidden leaks. A great way to find out is by doing the food coloring test. 
  • Purchase a strainer for each drain to avert clogged drains from hair and other debris. 
  • When checking any toilets for leaks, also check for cracks. 
  • If you are holding down or jiggling your toilet handle to stop the water, you likely need some repairs. 
  • Turn all valves under any sinks and toilets to make sure they work properly and won't stick. 
  • Make sure the temperature on your water heater is not set to more than 120 degrees. This can prevent burns and reduces energy consumption. 
  • If your home has a sump pump, check that it works properly by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should quickly turn on, get rid of the water, and then turn off without issues. 
  • Clean out any yard drains, downspouts, and gutters. 
  • If you live in an area where sewers sometimes back up into homes, install a back flow valve in the floor drain. This can prevent backups in the future. 
If you reside in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva-Batavia-St.Charles or Wheaton-Winfield-Warrenville-Glen Ellyn areas, contact AquaTech Plumbing at 630-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555 for a complete spring inspection.

How Can I Get My Home Ready For Spring?

When Winter Leaves, It Leaves Damage Behind

Though it's still freezing in many parts of the country, spring is right around the corner. There is no better time it’s time to make sure your plumbing and air conditioning systems are ready for Spring and Summer. Last year’s cold weather may have caused freezing-related breaks and leaks that won’t show up until you turn on the water. Or, this year's winter doesn't leave and this particular blog won't be needed for another couple of months. Let's hope not.

Wait to turn on your outside faucets and lawn sprinklers until after nighttime low temperatures are consistently above freezing (32° F) and once you do, remember to carefully check for leaks inside and outside your home. Or, you can CALL US and we’ll perform a complete Spring Inspection to make sure your home is ready for warm weather. Though there is a storm on it's way and a few more to come, it's never to early to prepare.

Spring Inspection:

- Faucet leak check

- Under-sink leak check

- Toilet leak check

- Water heater check-out

- Water Pressure test

- Main Water Shut-off check

- Comprehensive leak check

If you live in the Naperville-Plainfield-Aurora, Geneva-Batavia-St.Charles or Wheaton-Winfield-Warrenville-Glen Ellyn area, contact AquaTech Plumbing at 630-416-3555, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555 for a complete spring inspection.
