Since most bathroom visits only require a half flush, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, homes can save up to 4,000 gallons of water annually by switching to dual flush toilets.
When you use less water, you save money. Equipping your home with dual flush toilets will ultimately lower your water bill and benefit the environment.
For guests who have never seen the high and low volume flush buttons, using a dual-flush toilet for the first time could cause confusion. On some models, the buttons are not clearly labeled, so be sure to instruct house guests and family members how to flush properly.
For years of trouble-free service from your new dual flush toilet, there’s no substitute for a professional installation.
You can find dual flush toilets at all major plumbing and home improvement retailers in person and online, but be sure to check reviews before settling on one.
For toilet installation services, reach out to your local Roto-Rooter Branch.

Do you have a pest problem in the area around a floor drain? Proper maintenance can go a long way to preventing these issues, and it's simpler than you might think.","transcript":"Have you ever tried to turn off the water to a sink or toilet, only to find that the shut-off valve seems stuck in place? This happens when the rubber seat inside the valve dries out or becomes coated with lime and minerals. It's a good idea to exercise these valves a couple times a year by moving the faucet handle back and forth so it will move freely and easily in any emergency that requires that the water be turned off. But if the valve won't budge, be careful. Forcing it counterclockwise could break the valve if it's already open all the way. Use a pair of Channellock pliers to slowly move the valve in the clockwise direction at least a half-turn. Then carefully move it back in the counter-clockwise direction. Remember, lefty-loosey and righty-tighty. Repeat the process moving it a bit more each time until the valve seat loosens and turns with less effort. If the valve's chrome handle starts to spin freely, use a screwdriver to tighten the setscrew to hold it in place, then try moving the valve handle again. [Roto-Rooter jingle]

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.

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.

Do you have to jiggle the flush handle to make it stop? Have you noticed rippling water in the bowl? These are signs that your toilet is leaking water right down the drain. The most common reason a toilet leaks is that the flapper valve is worn out or damaged. A bad flapper valve can also cause a toilet to flush by itself, a condition known as \"ghost flushing.\" A flapper valve is a pliable rubber seal that opens like a lid to allow water into the toilet bowl when the toilet is flushed. The flapper valve then slowly lowers over the valve seat to seal off water flow when the flush has completed. A new flapper is soft and flexible but over time, hard water minerals and in-tank cleaning products will damage the rubber causing it to lose its pliability. This prevents the flapper from forming a tight seal over the valve seat. To replace a flapper valve, first you need to shut-off your water supply valve behind the toilet. Turn it clockwise. Next, remove the lid from the tank...then flush the toilet to remove as much water as possible from the tank. Disconnect the lift chain from the flush lever. The next step is to pull the flapper from the pivot arm mount pegs on the overflow tube. Wipe off the seal on the valve seat to ensure a good seal. Next, line-up your new flapper valve with the pegs on the overflow tube, positioning the flapper over the drain. Clip the chain to the flush lever, leaving some slack in the chain. Then push down on the flush lever to make sure the flapper's range of motion is right. You may have to adjust the chain a time or two to get it right. It's time to turn-on the water supply again and let the toilet tank re-fill. The flapper valve should form a tight seal that prevents water from escaping the tank and draining into the bowl. Once you're satisfied the flapper is not leaking, replace the tank lid and discard the old flapper valve. If replacing the flapper doesn't stop the leak, the drain seat itself might be bad or the top surface is corroded and isn't allowing the flapper valve to get a good seal. Replacing the fill valve and other tank parts may also be necessary to stop a leak.

\nDual flush toilets give the user a choice of two buttons for flushing waste. One button delivers the full 1.6 gallon tank capacity for flushing solid waste. The other button serves up a half flush or a 0.8 gallons to rid the bowl of liquid waste.
Since most bathroom visits only require a half flush, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that, homes can save up to 4,000 gallons of water annually by switching to dual flush toilets.
When you use less water, you save money. Equipping your home with dual flush toilets will ultimately lower your water bill and benefit the environment.
For guests who have never seen the high and low volume flush buttons, using a dual-flush toilet for the first time could cause confusion. On some models, the buttons are not clearly labeled, so be sure to instruct house guests and family members how to flush properly.
For years of trouble-free service from your new dual flush toilet, there’s no substitute for a professional installation.
You can find dual flush toilets at all major plumbing and home improvement retailers in person and online, but be sure to check reviews before settling on one.
For toilet installation services, reach out to your local Roto-Rooter Branch.

This happens when the rubber seat inside the valve dries out or becomes coated with lime and minerals. It's a good idea to exercise these valves a couple times a year by moving the faucet handle back and forth so it will move freely and easily in any emergency that requires that the water be turned off. But if the valve won't budge, be careful. Forcing it counterclockwise could break the valve if it's already open all the way. Use a pair of Channellock pliers to slowly move the valve in the clockwise direction at least a half-turn. Then carefully move it back in the counter-clockwise direction. Remember, lefty-loosey and righty-tighty. Repeat the process moving it a bit more each time until the valve seat loosens and turns with less effort. If the valve's chrome handle starts to spin freely, use a screwdriver to tighten the setscrew to hold it in place, then try moving the valve handle again. [Roto-Rooter jingle]
