If you are like most people, then you probably don’t give much thought to your plumbing when you shower. While you may think that taking a shower has no impact on your home’s plumbing, some of your shower habits can take a toll on your plumbing.
While a long, hot shower can be therapeutic, taking them on a daily basis can be harmful to your plumbing. Long, hot showers create the perfect environment for mold to grow in your shower and bathroom. It’s not ideal to have mold growing on your plumbing fixtures or finding its way into your plumbing pipes. To combat this issue, keep your maximum shower time to 10 minutes whenever possible and avoid tuing the heat up too high. Keep the water at a moderately warm temperature. It’s also a good idea to install bathroom exhaust fans that will help get rid of excess moisture, humidity, odors, and pollutants in your bathroom.
It was a late Saturday night. We had a super stubborn clog in some old galvanized pipes. Mr. Rooter send out Phil. Phil was great! He found the problem pretty quick. With determination and professionalism he final got it cleared out. I would recommend Mr. Rooter and Phil to anyone! He even cleaned up. We are so happy we choose Mr. Rooter!
We had a plumbing emergency and found Mr. Rooter while frantically searching for a 24-hour plumber. We feel like we hit a gold mine. Not only did we get a timely response. Everyone at Mr. Rooter was friendly, professional, competent and went above and beyond. Our plumber, Phil, was extremely helpful and gave us tips we could use moving firwars. Not to mention, the cost was extremely reasonable.
Had sewer water backup in toilet and tub. Received callback as promised and arrived early. The tech determined we needed the main line to be cleared. He quickly located the opening and had us cleared in minutes. Very happy with the service. I was not prepared for the fee but it was an emergency.
Plumber, Phil, came out on short notice on a Saturday night and fixed our issue quickly, professionally and courteously. I contacted a different, well known plumbing company right before Mr. Rooter. The receptionist was rude and they didn’t call me back to say they couldn’t make it until after Phil left! The Mr. Rooter receptionist was very nice and they called me back quickly. I’m glad they did.
I just wanted to say James did a great job at my house. Excellent service, professional and very nice. Thank you so much for helping me with my plumbing problem. Did wonderful job.
I was very happy that I went with Mr. Rooter’s. The service was very quick and up front. Jessie James was very helpful answering my questions and replacing my hot water heater. He was pleasurable to do business with. If another problem arises in my home, I will be using this company again.
A thorough, professional, pleasant experience. I had a back-up in the 50 year-old pipes of my new home. I called Mr. Rooter to have them locate the blockage, snake the line, and then use their video snake to get a visual of the integrity of the pipes. I’m glad that I called and will use them again for future needs.
You get what you pay for. Edwin Robles of Central NJ educated me as a 1st time homebuyer on why and what he was repairing, prevention, PROMPT,(on a sunday at that!) clean, knowledgeable, super professional but DOWN TO EARTH and at a REASONABLE PRICE! Sewer pipes unclogged and main water line fixed. I was no longer crying once job was thoroughly executed. After all $#@* $tinks but somebody has to do it and I HIGHLY recommend him and this company for a job well done. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Absolutely lovely office staff! I always knew when the repair person was coming. Lorenzo our repair guy was awesome, I really don't think there is anything he can't do. He looks young, but don't let that fool you! So happy all the repairs are behind us. We really just did a one-stop shopping and decided to have everything we've put off fixed because it was such a tremendous experience!
Let’s walk you through some of the everyday habits that can ruin your plumbing.
Most people are guilty of leaving their loofah in the shower after using it. This seemingly innocent habit is actually a bad idea because loofahs are a potential vector for mold and bacteria. After you’ve finished using your loofah in the shower, wring it dry and store it in a dry place until next time.
If you have long or thick hair, you could shed between 150 and 200 strands of hair when you take a shower. Letting the hair wash down your drain will ultimately result in a major clog. You can prevent hair and other debris from going down the shower drain by using a drain cover, and then collect the hair that gets trapped on the drain cover, so that it doesn’t cause clogs.
For most people, their initial reaction when they notice a clogged shower drain is to flush a chemical drain cleaner down the drain in an attempt to clear the clog. However, chemical drain cleaners can wreak havoc on your plumbing pipes. These drain cleaners are formulated with powerful chemicals which can eat away at your pipes, harm the environment, and cause respiratory issues. When you have a clogged shower drain, it’s advisable to use a shower plunger or drain auger to clear the clog. If these options don’t work, call a professional plumber to help you with drain cleaning.
