How You Know Its Time to Call a Plumber

Monday, April 4th, 2022

It can sometimes be difficult to know if your plumbing system is in good shape at any given time. Most people don’t think very much about their plumbing systems after all, as long as the pipes continue to work the way they always have. “Out of sight, out of mind,” right? Unfortunately, this line of thinking can be harmful to your plumbing system!

Fortunately, Barron offers a comprehensive maintenance program that includes a Silver Shield Plumbing Preferred Membership, providing a WholeHome™ Plumbing Inspection, Comprehensive Performance Maintenance, and more. This membership ensures that your plumbing undergoes preventative care so that you run into fewer problems throughout the year.

Of course, a repair need can still pop up, and plumbing repair needs aren’t always immediately noticeable. Fortunately, we’ve provided some indications that you can watch out for, below. If you notice your plumbing system has any of these symptoms, please don’t hesitate to give Barron Plumbing a call.

Do you know if there are impurities in your water? The water that comes into your home goes through a pretty extensive water treatment process beforehand. However, there’s always a chance that some level of potentially harmful contaminants can make their way into your home’s water supply.

The first step in determining whether or not you need a water filtration system of some kind is to have professional water testing done. Our water testing allows us to look for excessive chlorine, lead, bacteria, chemicals, or even minerals that cause hard water.

Right now, you can get up to $400 in savings with discounts on a sediment/carbon cartridge set, UV Anti-Bacteria system, and water conditioning & treatment system. This offer is good through 04/30/22, so don’t wait to take advantage! Check out our promotions page for more details.

Many homeowners don’t think about their HVAC ductwork too much. It’s out of sight, and therefore out of mind, for the most part.

How to Prevent Drain Clogs and When to Call Our Team

Monday, January 24th, 2022

It’s our hope that you made it through the holiday season without any huge plumbing mishaps. After all, it’s the most popular time of the year to need a plumber, whether it’s for clogged plumbing in the kitchen or in the bathroom of your home. Water heaters tend to get a lot of wear this time of the year too, as homeowners tend to have more guests using their showers and such.

Of course, the holiday season isn’t the only time of the year you can have a plumbing problem, particularly a drain clog. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons homeowners call a plumber in our area–and you should call a plumber!

It’s important that you not rely on store-bought drain cleaning chemicals when experiencing a clog, as these are very caustic and can actually do more harm than good for your plumbing system (more on this below). In the meantime, there are some things you can do to prevent drain clogs from forming, to begin with. If you’re dealing with persistent slow drains, you may benefit from a professional drain cleaning service to restore proper flow and prevent further issues. Read on to learn more.

Tips on Caring for Your Sump Pump

Monday, December 27th, 2021

Chances are, you don’t think a whole lot about your sump pump until you actually need it. And with all the recent flooding we’ve had in the area, there’s a very good chance that many of our customers needed theirs. The problem with outdoor flooding is that it typically leads to basement flooding, and unless it’s catastrophic, the sump pump is the only thing that can help prevent property damage and damage to appliances and systems kept in the basement.

Weather is unpredictable. The functionality of your sump pump shouldn’t be, though. While storms can happen at any time, pulse plumbing accidents and mishaps can occur seemingly out of the blue, causing water to gush down into the lower areas of your home, you can prevent damage in many cases. Read on to learn how.
