The sink you are using is a curving section of pipe. Its primary function isn't just to collect unwelcome hair and grease in the kitchen sink. Although it can do that frequently, the curve allows a volume of water to gather and create a barrier to ensure that sewer gas isn't permitted to flow freely into your home and smudge your kitchen sink.

Whew! You've completed cleaning your kitchen, and even the sink is sparkling. The cleaning products have been put in the cupboard, and you're heading toward the sink to wash the dishes you found in your playroom. What's the smell?

Winterizing your hose bibbs is crucial as the temperatures dip into the negative 20s. Every spring, we get many calls about broken or burst pipes in crawl spaces and basements.

One area that you wouldn't anticipate an ominous roar is the plumbing. What happens when you hear an abrupt banging sound coming out of your plumbing?

In the ideal world, your kitchen is always filled with delicious scents of freshly-baked cookies or of your mother's favorite pasta sauce recipe. However, when you live in the actual world, bad smells could engulf your kitchen and make working there an unpleasant experience.

Is your memory good? Are you able to remember important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries easily? Are you able to keep your weekly schedule in your head or on paper? The big question is: Do you remember when your septic tank was last pumped?

It's always better to be safe than sorry, as the old saying goes. Even though we don't intend to use them, we have airbags in all of our cars. Your home's plumbing system has the same safety features to protect you from costly or unexpected water damage.
