How often do you think about the drain system in your home? Most of us don’t ever consider it until there’s a clog or something major goes wrong with the plumbing. For a moment, think about the hassle and annoyance that occurs when a sink, shower, tub, or toilet backs up. It can disrupt whatever you are doing at the time or create an emergency situation for you.

Scum and debris naturally accumulate in household drain pipes from soaps, lotions, food waste, hair, grease, and various types of items from everyday use. Everyday items can drop into toilets, kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and bathtubs that can cause or contribute to drain blockage.

In the Kitchen: Pipe build up can occur from a variety of items like soap, grease, food debris, and more, causing drain clogs.

In the Bathroom: Many things can cause pipes to block and scum to build up. Hair, toothpaste, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, creams, toilet paper, and items thrown into toilets (that don’t belong there) are major culprits in drain clogging. Over time, these things accumulate and cause buildup that can eventually cause major drain blockage.

In the Utility Room: Lint, dirt and accumulated debris can create drain issues, which can lead to flooding, blockage, and poor drainage in the home.

Notice when water starts accumulating in the sink as you’re doing dishes, washing your hands, taking a shower and draining a tub. It might drain slowly or, in extreme cases, not at all. These problems don’t typically occur overnight. They tend to build up and worsen over time.

When drains are running slowly or are clogged, it’s best to call on professional, licensed plumbers, like Marlin to properly clear the drain issues in the home. Plungers and other home remedies are usually only temporary fixes. It’s a good practice to have your plumbing system cleared about every two years to maintain smooth flowing pipes and to be comfortable in your home.

Clogs happen in most everyone’s home and they occur for a variety of reasons. Sink, tub, and toilet clogs can be relatively simple – and can often be cleared with a plunger. When all the drains in your home are clogged and backing up, it’s time to call the professionals at Marlin Services. Leave the big jobs to the experts and have your repairs, leaks, and clogs taken care of as they occur. It’s best not to wait and take a chance of leaks damaging walls, floors, cabinets, and more.

It takes a professional plumber to clear main line clogs and repair or replace pipe damage. In the case of tree roots growing through main line pipes, the professionals can bore through roots to clear the main line for clear running pipes.

When main line pipes start to deteriorate, you’ll need the plumber to replace those pipes for you. Indoor pipes are simpler to repair than the underground drain lines.

NOTE: Homeowners are responsible for the repair, maintenance, drain clearing, and pipe replacement on their own property. The homeowner is responsible for pipes, starting at the connection point of the city sewer system as well as those leading to the house and including home’s plumbing situation. This includes lateral lines and all main line plumbing in the home.

THINK PREVENTION WHEN IT COMES TO DRAINS:

• Avoid using toilets to throw away trash
• Avoid disposing of wipes, feminine hygiene products, diapers, matches, paper towels, cotton tips, etc., into toilets
• Keep bathroom drains clear of hair clogs
• Be mindful of the foods disposed of in food disposers

At Marlin, we know the importance of a well-running plumbing system, and we recommend keeping your pipes and drains in good working order for your best comfort and efficiency. Repair immediately, replace as needed, and maintain on a regular basis.

Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom is fun. There are cabinets to choose, countertops to pick, shopping for tile, appliances and flooring…it seems like a never-end list. But it’s a fun list because you know the end result is going to be a great improvement from what you currently have in your kitchen and bathroom. Plus, new things always feel so good and look so good.

When you are planning your budget – don’t forget to plan for the plumbing too. Cabinets, countertops, tile and flooring are the big items. They are the bulk of your expenses and the reason you have to plan in advance and set a budget. You will never forget to plan for these expenses because they are central to the whole remodeling project. But it can be easy to forget about the “little things” like a sink faucet, whether it is a kitchen faucet or a bathroom faucet. In the grand scheme of things, a faucet is a much lesser expense than the countertop or cabinets, but if you forget that you need to buy all new faucets AND have them installed, it could put you over your maximum “what I want to spend” budget.  

So…regarding the plumbing portion of your remodeling project, these are some things to remember:

In the Kitchen –

• What kind of sink do you want? (i.e. single or double, undermount, stainless steel or other material)
• What sink accessories would you like to include? (i.e. faucets, hoses, garbage disposal, water filters, soap/lotion dispensers)
• Will the kitchen configuration remain the same or will you need to install new connections for the sink, refrigerator and dishwasher?
• Do you need new appliances? (i.e. Refrigerator, dishwasher and others that may need an electrical contractor as well as a plumber)
• Do you need to hire a contractor to install these items?

In the Bathroom –

• What kind of sink do you want? (i.e. single or double, undermount, china or other material)
• What sink faucets would you like? (i.e. finish, style, installation and features)
• Do you need to replace the tub and shower? (i.e. new or refresh, new showerhead and faucets)
• Will you be replacing the current toilet?
• Will the configuration of the bathroom remain the same?
• Are you adding new features to the bathroom, like a hot tub or spa?
• Do you need to hire a contractor to install these items?

Remember, every project (no matter what room in the house you are remodeling) should include some very basic considerations:

• What is your budget?
• What is the goal of the renovation?
• What is the purpose of the room and how will you utilize it?
• What do you like about the current room?
• What do you dislike about the current room?
• What type of storage do you need in the room?
• What style do you want as the theme of the renovation?

Of course, budget is often the central factor in a remodeling project. Be sure you include all aspects of your renovation, whether large or small items, so that you are fully prepared so you can finish the project and be happy with the end result.
