Bringing Your Household to a Screeching Halt!

This time of year, before school is back in session your home and living area have probably had quite a workout.  People are coming in and out, toilets are flushing more often, etc.  One thing that will paralyze the flow of your daily routine is a backed-up sewer.  The truth is, it may be getting slowly worse with the passage of summer.

Back in the old days someone had to put on their gear and get into the system to check it out.  Fortunately, today there is something called video inspection.  What happens in this case is that a video camera takes the brunt of the sewage and reveals exactly what is the root of the problem.  It could be a root itself or even cracked pipes.

No question about it, having your sewer system inspected is essential to your family’s comfort.  Whenever that happens in the Seattle area you immediately call Shawn Allen.  He is Snohomish Washington’s sewer video inspection professional and has been since the technology has existed.  Call Shawn right away at (425) 367-4744.

Stop the Presses…I Smell Sewage!

You talk about things that bring your family to a standstill.  One of worst is the pungent odor of sewage.  Now there’s a smell that will stick with you for a long, long while!  It happens to so many people and it does not matter what your financial status is.  Sewer lines do not respect socio-economic barriers.

Sometimes an old clay pipe will be broken by tree roots.  You can’t see it coming.  From the surface the tree looks healthy.  The fact is, it is growing at its normal pace, but there is a sewer pipe in its way.  Which one of those do you think will win that battle?  There are also “belly” pipes in the Seattle area that may be broken.

Certainly, no one wants to put on their work boots and overalls and get down in there themselves.  Your professional sewer line replacement expert in the Snohomish, WA area is Shawn Allen.  Shawn has gotten “down and dirty” with sewage backups for decades.  Call him immediately at (425) 367-4744.

Spring time…Sewer time.

Like it or not, this may be the perfect time to schedule a sewer inspection.  Have you smelled any foul odors around your home?  (Insert joke here).  Perhaps a pipe has cracked during the winter or the ground has shifted.  It’s Spring and the tree roots are growing.  They are often the #1 culprit of sewer problems.

It takes a true professional who has been knee-deep in you know what to diagnose the problem.  A video inspection may be the first step.  He will then be able to see if repair or replacement of the pipe is necessary.  In the older homes around the Seattle area those sewer pipes were constructed of clay or cast iron and are vulnerable to tree roots.

Is four decades of experience good enough for you?  That is what Snohomish sewer repair professional Shawn Allen brings to the table.  He has seen it all and repaired it all over the years.  If it is a private home or a large corporate building Shawn is your man to clean up the gunk!  Give him a call right away at (425) 367-4744.

Having a Family Plumber.

Do you have one auto repair shop that you always go to for regular maintenance as well as major repairs?  Do you have a dentist that the adults in your family go to because you trust him/her?  Shouldn’t you say the same thing about the “family plumber”.  The family plumber is someone who does ALL of the tasks large and small and will never do more than you need.

What a comfort it is to know that when the sink or toilet needs fixing you can call him.  When a water heater needs to be installed or repaired you call the same guy.  If you are thinking of remodeling the kitchen…ditto.  And if the sewer line ever needs to be cleaned you have the same “guy Friday” just a phone call away.

Residents of Snohomish, Washington have had that peace of mind for decades.  He is full-service Snohomish plumber Shawn Allen.  If you are new to the area visit www.plumbersnohomish.com.  Look at all of the services he provides and make him your family plumber.  Give him a call at (425) 367-4744.

Home Owners Insurance for Sewer Lines.

Does your home owners insurance cover a sewer line that has been broken?  There are things to consider here.  There is the replacement cost as well as the damage that a broken sewer line can do to your valuables.  You want to talk about holding your nose?  This could be devastating in a couple of different ways!

Of course, every homeowner’s policy is a little bit different.  MOST of these policies pay for some of the costs of replacing faulty wiring or interior plumbing.  Any exterior plumbing problems are often ignored.  One of the first things that your home insurer will want to know is “where did the break occur”?  Was it within your home’s foundation?

These are not topics that we want to think about, but in the dead of winter it is a good time to give it a bit of thought.  One thing you don’t have to think about is whom to call in the Seattle area if a sewer line breaks and causes damage in and around your home.  It all starts with Snohomish master plumber Shawn Allen.  Always keep his number handy (425) 367-4744.

Cleaning Your Sewer Line.

Now there is a topic we all love discussing.  We couldn’t decide whether to educate you on this subject or how to remove bat guano from your shoes!  Seriously, a clogged sewer line is an unfortunate bi-product of the lives of many Americans.  In the Snohomish Washington area there are home owners who will face this dilemma in the months to come.

In many cases an old pipe has become clogged with tree roots.  In other cases, sewer lines may simply break, crack, or even collapse entirely.  The soil around the pipe may shift over time collapsing the pipe.  Have you heard of the term “bellied”?  No, not what happens after excessive holiday eating.  When this happens to your sewer line it becomes clogged with debris and stops flowing.

None of this is something that you are equipped to deal with.  Someone who does this routinely is Snohomish, WA area sewer line repair and replacement expert Shawn Allen.  The Seattle area has counted on Shawn for all of their plumbing needs for more than three decades.  As always…It starts with a phone call to (425) 367-4744.
