Plumbing Problems Unique to the Summer Season.

Hot, muggy weather is around the corner in Kansas City.  Most of us welcome the opportunity to get out and travel and lay in the sun.  Summer is great!  Summertime may not be so great for the plumbing around your home or business.  There are unique situations that occur in this upcoming time of year that we don’t see in the frigid months.

Here are some common summer plumbing problems to be aware of -

1.  Your disposal could easily clog.  Cookouts cause more food to be thrown down the drain.

2.  Sewer lines back up.  Heavy rains equals heavy flooding and clogged sewers.

3.  Clogged toilets.  Children are running in and out of the house and using the facilities.

4.  Children everywhere!  More children around the house means heavier use of your washing machine.

5.  Obviously, the annual rising of the sprinklers.  Make sure your sprinkler system is 100%

Preventative maintenance before the hot summer weather hits is obviously important.  For dozens of years the Kansas City area has trusted Poor Johns Plumbing for preventative and emergency plumbing.  Poor Johns Plumbing is your Kansas City plumbing professional.  Visit www.poorjohns.com for a list of the phone numbers closest to you and have a safe and happy summer.

Summertime in Kansas City…Road Construction and Backyard Excavation.

So we have emerged from another Midwest winter.  We have had time to celebrate our World Champion Royals.  Now it is time to turn our attention to our property.  With the softer ground we now have the opportunity to do those heavy equipment excavation jobs that we simply cannot do when the ground is frozen.

Nearly all of your home’s plumbing lies underground.  If you have a leaky faucet or a broken toilet, chances are the root of the problem lies underground.  Most jobs of this type require a specific permit.  This is definitely NOT a task for a do it yourselfer.  Just as important, you must hire a pro who will not charge an arm and a leg while the permits are being pulled.

For decades people of the Kansas City area have trusted Poor Johns Plumbing for these heavy-duty tasks.  The name may make you chuckle, but believe me you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.  Poor John’s Plumbing is your plumbing excavation expert in the Kansas City metro.  Visit www.poorjohns.com for a list of the phone numbers closest to you and have a safe and happy summer.

Kansas City Area Septic Systems.

Not everyone in the KC area is connected to a city sewer.  If you have a home with a septic system you are only too aware of what a back-up can mean to your quality of life.  When sewage backs up it will create a terrible odor in your backyard.  If this happens, you are facing some major decisions about repairing or replacing your septic tank.

Here are a few tips to remember if this happens to you…

1.  Lift the septic tank and check the water level

2.  Keep people away from standing water or any soggy soil

3.  The drainfield may need to be replaced because of age

To repair or replace - that is the question.  It may be nothing more than a broken pipe.  However, if the drainfield is no longer operative it may be time to replace the system.  Poor Johns Plumbing is your Kansas City area septic tank professional.  When you need a breath of fresh air visit www.poorjohns.com.  Call one of the phone numbers listed on the website to find out what needs to be done with your septic system.

A Master Plumber is Standing By.

When you call a plumber you may well get an answering machine.  You may also get someone in the field who cannot immediately troubleshoot your problem.  That is the typical way that business is done in the plumbing community.  What if you could speak to a master plumber available to you during the regular business day?

If you could speak to that person and tell them what’s ailing your plumbing you would probably also want to know pricing.  Most plumbing companies either hide their prices or are reluctant to disclose them.  It just makes sense for THEM because they can come to your home and start tacking on fees when they see the job itself.

This is NOT the case at Poor John’s Plumbing.  We are one of the few master plumbers in Kansas City that can not only come to the phone during regular business hours, but are proud to publish our prices right on our website.  Isn’t that a breath of fresh air?  See for yourself.  Visit us on the web at www.poorjohns.com and give your Kansas City master plumber a call today.
