A Local Plumber Means Something.

How many plumbing companies are just a branch of a national or regional organization?  I suppose that their workers and master plumbers are from your area…but maybe not.  Does it make a difference?  We think it does.  It is as important to choose the right plumber for the job as it is the right dentist or auto mechanic.

Your plumber may go a year without coming to your home or business.  Suddenly, you need them five times in two months.  You never know what plumbing problems may befall you.  Would you rather know your plumber like a friend of the family or have someone different show up every time you call that particular plumbing company?

It seems the choice here is to trust a friend.  This is especially true if that friend has three and a half decades of experience in the area.  Yes indeed, for more than 35 years you and other residents of the Snohomish, WA area have counted on Shawn Allen.  Shawn is a master plumber who is Snohomish’s plumbing professional.  Call Shawn right away.  As always…It starts with a phone call to (425) 367-4744.

Is It Time to Replace Your Sump Pump?

Sorry guys, even though we don’t think about our sump pump like we do our car, our appliances, or our television, eventually it is going to wear out.  How long have you had your sump pump?  If you can’t exactly remember it has probably been for more than a decade.  It really wears out before you notice because it may not be in use for weeks at a time.

Here are some warning signs that your sump pump is on its last legs - 

1.  If you have a pedestal pump that is yesterday’s technology and it may be ready to go.

2.  If it is cycling off and on frequently that is not a good sign even in Seattle’s heavy rains.

3.  Listen carefully.  If your pump runs continuously for a long period…bad sign.

4.  Noise…the noisier the pump the worse it may be.

High Water Bills.

Did you take a look at this month’s water bill and gasp?  What happened?  You start to think well it IS summer maybe that is the reason.  However, this one may have snuck up on you.  You may be slowly drowning in higher and higher water statements.  Over time a water line that remains unchecked may cost you hundreds of extra dollars per year!

Sewer Line Repair.

Woo-Wee!  That stinks!  You know what you’re up against.  Clogged or broken sewer lines is a nightmare because it does not only cause water to flow back into the toilet bowls, drainage systems, and eventually on the floors, but it may also cause an odor that will linger in your mind and your nose for a long time to come.

Here are some things to remember when you are faced with this challenge - 

1.  Get to the root of the problem.  What is causing the back-up?

2.  Beware of some fly-by-night operation that claims they can do it, but does not have the credentials.

3.  Find someone who knows all of the local plumbing codes.

4.  Need we say, this is probably NOT a DIY job.
