Upcoming Changes in your Plumbing Needs

With the changing season your plumbing needs may change.  Things that go wrong with your plumbing infrastructure in the dead of winter may be unusual and severe.  A leaky toilet, a flooded basement, a bad sump pump, and much more don’t observe any calendar.  They happen when you least expect them and turn your household upside down.

It is important to trust a professional plumber even if you believe that your do it yourself skills are enough to tackle the task.  You could turn a minor problem into a major one very quickly without the proper tools and expertise for the job.  Make the sensible decision.  Don’t become one of those amateur fixer-uppers that ends up with thousands of dollars of damage and plumbing bills.

The most important thing to remember this time and any time of year is that you want a plumber that can fix what needs fixing anytime and can handle any job.  It is imperative to have a family plumber that you trust just like a family dentist or a family auto mechanic.  Get to know Poor Johns Plumbing. They handle all plumbing tasks all the time.   If you live in the Kansas City area please visit their website at www.poorjohns.com for a list of the phone numbers that is nearest to you.  Trust Poor Johns for ANY plumbing problem.

Cleaning Your Septic System

In the Kansas City area many residents are not connected to a city sewer.  If not, you will probably have a septic system.  The average homeowner probably knows little or nothing about the operation and especially the maintenance of that system.  If it overflows you and the neighbors will know more than they ever wanted to know!

By design, these systems are fairly simple. All drains in the home converge to a single pipe that leads to the septic tank buried outside.  When the waste water from your toilet, shower, sinks and washing machine leave your house, it's combined. When it hits the septic tank, however, it begins to separate.  As simple as their design may be, septic systems require the homeowner to monitor them before problems arise.

Do you want to “monitor” the waste in your septic tank?  I don’t!  That is why you call the plumbing professionals at Poor Johns Plumbing, serving the Kansas City metro.  Their trained technicians will tell you whether you need routine maintenance, repairs or total replacement.  For a list of phone numbers to call in your area visit their website at www.poorjohns.com and call for a free estimate.  Leave the dirty work to the people with expertise. 

Can You Leave Your Swimming Pool Open Year Round?

If you own a swimming pool in the Kansas City area you know that harsh weather is just around the corner.  There are actually pros and cons on the subject.  You should get to know both before you make what seems to be an obvious decision to close down your swimming pool until May.

Pools are a beautiful site no matter what the weather.  If the water is still moving it is a comfort to listen to.  If you leave your pool open, the amount of algae that will grow over the winter will be greatly diminished when you actually start swimming again in the late spring.  This will save you a few days of removing excess algae next spring.

On the negative side, your pool water could freeze in very harsh temperatures and harm your entire plumbing system.  The extra electricity that you use in the winter may cost hundreds of extra dollars.  Whatever you decide to do know that you can always trust Kansas City area plumber Poor John’s for all of your plumbing needs.  Visit their website at www.poorjohns.com for a list of phone numbers that apply to your area.

Natural Gas Lines

How much do you know about the installation of a natural gas line?  Unless you live in that world I will guarantee you that you need a professional.  Does your local gas company require a permit be pulled and an inspection performed before you can proceed?  They probably do.

Water heaters, furnaces, dryers, stoves, and many other appliances require an energy source to operate.  More often than not that source is good old natural gas.  Poor John’s Plumbing will be there to help you every step of the way.  We will pull the permit, examine the system, make necessary repairs, perform a pressure test and handle the inspection. If you need a complete re-piping fear not…we will handle it for you!
