Drain Clogged!

Oil is the last thing you want to pour down your drain! As shown in this picture. Luckily there’s a solution to this clogged drain. Pouring such substance in your pipes will cause corrosion of the metal leading to leaks. A thorough drain cleaning will be a quick fix to this issue but if the pipe is unable to be reused then a replacement is required.

Island Sink Install

For all home owners with island sinks check under your piping located under the sink! This is a perfect example of a UPC Code Compliant island sink with foot vent and clean outs.

Halo Water Filters

Halo Five Filtration System with UV Filter. If you have Well, Hard, or Soft Water this system will reduce the toxic minerals and matter in your water.

No Hot Water!!

Friendly reminder to not over tighten your shower handles. Overtightening causes the rubber seal to disintegrate leading to a running faucet.

Leaking Toilet?

Do you use toilet bowl fresheners or cleaners in your toilet bowl tank? These small blue tabs are proven to deteriorate the rubber seal in your toilet and should not be used! these can cause toilet leaks and will require a replacement of the seal.

Don’t put these items

down your drain!!

These items listed should never be flushed or put down your drain. Items such as feminine products, paper towels, wet wipes, and hair are some of the highest causes to drain clogging. Instead these items should be disposed of in trash bins.
