But how do you keep your drains free-flowing longer? The answer is Roto-Rooter Pipe Shield. It's not a clog remover, but after your drains are professionally cleaned, nothing keeps them cleaner longer than a monthly application of Pipe Shield. It's a preventive maintenance treatment that keeps organic materials such as grease, soaps, and fats from building up on the inside of your pipes, reducing the chance of clogs and odors. Pipe Shield uses an advanced biological formula that is safe for the environment. Its beneficial bacteria breaks down grease and build-up in your pipes and converts them into harmless byproducts that wash away. And Pipe Shield treats your entire drain system, not just the sink trap. One gallon of concentrated Pipe Shield will last a typical homeowner over a year.

But, getting rid of sink stink isn't difficult if you have the right ingredients around the house.","transcript":"Every water heater should be equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve. This is a crucial safety device that is mandated by all plumbing codes and should never be removed or disabled. I'm Dave Jones, Master Plumber for Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service. I'm gonna discuss problems that sometimes occur with the temperature and pressure relief valves on the water heaters. Relief valves discharge for usually two reasons: 1, there's excessive pressure building up inside the system that is exceeding 150 pounds of pressure. Or 2, the temperature inside the tank is exceeding 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Both of these situations can be very dangerous and the temperature and pressure relief valve will open to prevent an explosion. If you notice water on the floor around the water heater and there's no evidence of a tank or plumbing leak, it is probably a sign that the water heater's temperature and pressure relief valve has recently opened and relieved itself. First you should test the water pressure in the house by using a pressure gauge that you will screw right onto a hose bib or a faucet. You could pick up one of these gauges at any home center. Most plumbing codes state that the maximum water pressure coming in the house should be 80 PSI or less. If the water pressure exceeds this amount, a pressure reducing valve will need to be installed on the water main. Note that the ideal water pressure is between 50 and 60 PSI. You want to make sure that the thermostat is not set too high. If the thermostat is set to high or if it's faulty, the T&P valve will discharge to relieve the pressure inside the tank. Remember for a standard water heater the temperature should be set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You could try flushing the T&P valve to make sure it didn't become filled by sediment. It's a good idea to test the T&P valve at least once a year to make sure its operating properly. Simply place a bucket beneath the discharge tube. You'll want to flip open the relief valve and let it run for about five seconds to make sure it opens fully. Stand back and don't do this if you're barefoot or wearing a open-toed shoes or sandals. If that hot water splashes out, you could be burned. Remember the T&P valve is the only thing that prevent your water heater from becoming a bomb. Once the valve snaps back, make sure it doesn't leak. If it does, you'll need to replace the valve. Next, check to make sure the expansion tank above the water heater hasn't failed. You can do this by removing the cap. It's located on top of the tank, and press in the Schrader valve. This is the same type of air valve that you'll find on tires. To see if air or water comes out of it. If water is expelled from the valve, then the tank needs to be replaced. I hope this is helpful and you have a better understanding of the temperature and pressure relief valve on your water heater. I'm Dave Jones, Master Plumber with Roto-Rooter. Thanks for watching.

Watch as Roto-Rooter explains sump pumps and how they can help prevent sump pump failure.","youtubeUploadDate":"2013-09-19 00:00:00.0","youtubeVideoDuration":"1:12","shortDescription":"In this video, our Roto-Rooter expert will explain how a sump pump works and why it's important to test your sump pump regularly. You'll learn about the benefits of having a battery backup system, or Venturi water-powered pump. When the groundwater level underneath your basement rises during periods of rain or thawing, it can pose a threat of flooding in low-lying areas. When the pit begins to fill, the float of the sump pump turns the pump on, keeping the water level underneath your house from rising too much. Your local Roto-Rooter plumber can help if you need a new system or simply want to learn more about a battery backup system for your current pump. Our Roto-Rooter plumbers can ensure your sump pump still works in the event of a power outage to increase flood prevention. Call us in case you'd like this service performed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.","transcript":"If your home has a basement it probably has a sump pump installed in the lowest corner. If the pump is working properly, it will collect groundwater in a pit below the basement floor. When the pit begins to fill, a float switch triggers the sump pump to turn itself on, then pump the water out to a city storm sewer or the nearest drainage ditch. To ensure your sump pump is working, test it by pouring a few buckets of water into the pit. Make sure the pump turns on, empties most of the water from the pit, then turns itself off again. You'll notice that sump pumps require electricity to operate. That means if a storm knocks out power to your home, the sump pump can no longer do its job. But your Roto-Rooter plumber can install a battery backup system or a Venturi water-powered pump that will continue to pump away storm water and prevent flooding. Homeowners with some do-it-yourself skills should be able to handle many flood-prevention tasks on their own. But it's important to be careful and to recognize when you're in over your head. Roto-Rooter has experienced plumbers ready to help whenever you need us. [Roto-Rooter jingle]

An easy upgrade to take your bathroom from lackluster to luxurious is a large rain showerhead. But is it as easy of a swap as you think?
\nHere are 3 things to know before purchasing a large rain showerhead.
\nFirst, consider increasing the water pressure in your shower. A larger showerhead requires more water pressure to produce the same amount of pressure you are familiar with getting with your smaller showerhead.
\nThe second topic to consider is upgrading you water heater. With more water being used, you will quickly go through your hot water reserve. You may want to upgrade your water heater or invest in a second water heater.
\nIncreasing your water pressure and upgrading your water heater brings us to the third consideration. Be prepared for your water bill to increase. Prepare your finances to adjust to the change.
\nNow that you know what to expect with this luxurious upgrade, you are ready to start showerhead shopping!

It's a preventive maintenance treatment that keeps organic materials such as grease, soaps, and fats from building up on the inside of your pipes, reducing the chance of clogs and odors. Pipe Shield uses an advanced biological formula that is safe for the environment. Its beneficial bacteria breaks down grease and build-up in your pipes and converts them into harmless byproducts that wash away. And Pipe Shield treats your entire drain system, not just the sink trap. One gallon of concentrated Pipe Shield will last a typical homeowner over a year.

But, getting rid of sink stink isn't difficult if you have the right ingredients around the house.","transcript":"Every water heater should be equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve. This is a crucial safety device that is mandated by all plumbing codes and should never be removed or disabled. I'm Dave Jones, Master Plumber for Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service. I'm gonna discuss problems that sometimes occur with the temperature and pressure relief valves on the water heaters. Relief valves discharge for usually two reasons: 1, there's excessive pressure building up inside the system that is exceeding 150 pounds of pressure. Or 2, the temperature inside the tank is exceeding 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Both of these situations can be very dangerous and the temperature and pressure relief valve will open to prevent an explosion. If you notice water on the floor around the water heater and there's no evidence of a tank or plumbing leak, it is probably a sign that the water heater's temperature and pressure relief valve has recently opened and relieved itself. First you should test the water pressure in the house by using a pressure gauge that you will screw right onto a hose bib or a faucet. You could pick up one of these gauges at any home center. Most plumbing codes state that the maximum water pressure coming in the house should be 80 PSI or less. If the water pressure exceeds this amount, a pressure reducing valve will need to be installed on the water main. Note that the ideal water pressure is between 50 and 60 PSI. You want to make sure that the thermostat is not set too high. If the thermostat is set to high or if it's faulty, the T&P valve will discharge to relieve the pressure inside the tank. Remember for a standard water heater the temperature should be set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You could try flushing the T&P valve to make sure it didn't become filled by sediment. It's a good idea to test the T&P valve at least once a year to make sure its operating properly. Simply place a bucket beneath the discharge tube. You'll want to flip open the relief valve and let it run for about five seconds to make sure it opens fully. Stand back and don't do this if you're barefoot or wearing a open-toed shoes or sandals. If that hot water splashes out, you could be burned. Remember the T&P valve is the only thing that prevent your water heater from becoming a bomb. Once the valve snaps back, make sure it doesn't leak. If it does, you'll need to replace the valve. Next, check to make sure the expansion tank above the water heater hasn't failed. You can do this by removing the cap. It's located on top of the tank, and press in the Schrader valve. This is the same type of air valve that you'll find on tires. To see if air or water comes out of it. If water is expelled from the valve, then the tank needs to be replaced. I hope this is helpful and you have a better understanding of the temperature and pressure relief valve on your water heater. I'm Dave Jones, Master Plumber with Roto-Rooter. Thanks for watching.

You'll learn about the benefits of having a battery backup system, or Venturi water-powered pump. When the groundwater level underneath your basement rises during periods of rain or thawing, it can pose a threat of flooding in low-lying areas. When the pit begins to fill, the float of the sump pump turns the pump on, keeping the water level underneath your house from rising too much. Your local Roto-Rooter plumber can help if you need a new system or simply want to learn more about a battery backup system for your current pump. Our Roto-Rooter plumbers can ensure your sump pump still works in the event of a power outage to increase flood prevention. Call us in case you'd like this service performed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.","transcript":"If your home has a basement it probably has a sump pump installed in the lowest corner. If the pump is working properly, it will collect groundwater in a pit below the basement floor. When the pit begins to fill, a float switch triggers the sump pump to turn itself on, then pump the water out to a city storm sewer or the nearest drainage ditch. To ensure your sump pump is working, test it by pouring a few buckets of water into the pit. Make sure the pump turns on, empties most of the water from the pit, then turns itself off again. You'll notice that sump pumps require electricity to operate. That means if a storm knocks out power to your home, the sump pump can no longer do its job. But your Roto-Rooter plumber can install a battery backup system or a Venturi water-powered pump that will continue to pump away storm water and prevent flooding. Homeowners with some do-it-yourself skills should be able to handle many flood-prevention tasks on their own. But it's important to be careful and to recognize when you're in over your head. Roto-Rooter has experienced plumbers ready to help whenever you need us. [Roto-Rooter jingle]

An easy upgrade to take your bathroom from lackluster to luxurious is a large rain showerhead. But is it as easy of a swap as you think?
\nHere are 3 things to know before purchasing a large rain showerhead.
\nFirst, consider increasing the water pressure in your shower. A larger showerhead requires more water pressure to produce the same amount of pressure you are familiar with getting with your smaller showerhead.
\nThe second topic to consider is upgrading you water heater. With more water being used, you will quickly go through your hot water reserve. You may want to upgrade your water heater or invest in a second water heater.
\nIncreasing your water pressure and upgrading your water heater brings us to the third consideration. Be prepared for your water bill to increase. Prepare your finances to adjust to the change.
\nNow that you know what to expect with this luxurious upgrade, you are ready to start showerhead shopping!
