Winter Plumbing Tips for Chicagoland.

Old man winter…here he comes.  If he is as rough and tough as he was last year then Chicagoland is in for potential plumbing problems again.  The first order of business is to avoid frozen pipes.  Watch your water pressure and at the first sign of restricted water flow call a professional immediately.  Also let cold water trickle from your faucets at about a pencil’s width.

Disconnect garden hoses and drain all of your outdoor pipes to battle winter damage due to a hard freeze.  The next step is to install an insulated faucet jacket.  Also, be sure to utilize the shut off valves inside of your home to drain the water from pipes that lead outdoors.  Another thing, keep the temperature in your home high enough so that you are circulating warm air to help your pipes stay warm.

Even precautionary efforts may not be enough to completely protect you from plumbing problems this winter.  If and when those occur, Call AquaTech Plumbing any time 24/7, serving Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn, at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

Never Ignore A Gas Leak

Some defects in and around your home are not detectable by site.  A gas leak is a perfect example of a malady in your home that needs immediate attention. When a gas line becomes compromised it could be something trivial, but chances are the problem may be very serious.  It not only may endanger the very safety of your family, but it may even threaten your neighbors.

At a time like this you need immediate professional help.  Carbon monoxide detectors are an absolute necessity in every home.  Please make it the highest priority to install them before the harsh winter sets in.

If you experience a sulfur-like odor do not hesitate.  Act immediately and turn off the gas.  The next step is to call your western suburban Chicagoland plumber, Aqua Tech Plumbing.  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 more information about any and all plumbing services including gas leaks.

Plumbing Needs

As the seasons change your plumbing needs may change.  Things that go wrong with your plumbing infrastructure in the dead of winter may be quite different than the plumbing problems you could face in warmer weather.  A leaky toilet, a flooded basement, a bad sump pump, and much more don’t adhere to any calendar.  They happen when you least expect them.

It is important to trust a professional plumber even if you believe that your DYI skills are enough to tackle the task.  You could turn a minor problem into a major one very quickly without the proper tools and expertise for the job.  Please be careful.  Don’t become one of those amateur fixer-uppers that ends up with thousands of dollars of damage and plumbing bills.

 

The most important thing to remember 24/7 365 days a year is that you want a plumber that can fix what needs fixing anytime and can handle any job.  It is imperative to have a family plumber that you trust just like a family dentist or a family auto mechanic.  Get to know AquaTech Plumbing, serving the Fox Valley and western Chicagoland with any plumbing task any time.   If you live in Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn, give AquaTech Plumbing a call today at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555.

Sump Pumps and a Battery Back-Up System

Let’s face it, a flooded basement is a catastrophe.  The loss of all those memories, the expense of fixing it and the time it takes to sort through the ruins to discover what is salvageable and what is not.  Be proactive…don’t face this terrible fate.  Maybe you have a finished basement or it is just a depository for a lifetime of memories.  Either way it is worth protecting.

Here is A Better Option: Two Sump Pumps and a Battery Back-Up System.

This will take away the worry of basement flooding and loss of personal items and allows you maximum protection against flooding during loss of power and heavy rains. You can even power other appliances with a Sump Pro system during a power outage.  The alternative is just too painful to even consider.

Call AquaTech Plumbing before that happens. Our battery back-up includes the battery, a back-up pump in addition to your sump pump, and an alarm that sounds if your battery charge is getting low, it needs water, or there is something wrong with either your primary or back up pump. Certain systems even call your cell phone!  We offer up to 6 months, same-as-cash, 0% financing!  Call AquaTech Plumbing today serving Naperville, Lisle, Plainfield, Aurora, Geneva, Batavia, St. Charles, Wheaton, Winfield, Warrenville, or Glen Ellyn, at 630-416-3555, 630-898-3444, 630-377-9555, or 630-462-3555
