How not to treat your drains: By using store-bought chemical drain cleaners!
Trust us, we get it. One of the most frustrating, and unfortunately one of the most common, problems to deal with in households today is a clogged drain. And reaching for a bottle of that store-bought stuff is easy, right? But there’s a problem–these “solutions” can actually be doing more harm than good.
Imagine this scenario: You are brushing your teeth. You have the water running to rinse off the toothbrush when you notice, the water you turned on to wet the toothbrush is still standing in the sink. You have a clog! What’s the first thing you do?
If it’s a superficial enough clog you might reach in the drain and relieve it, or use a plunger to loosen it up and draw it out. If it’s deeper down, however, then you’ll probably reach for a bottle of that store-bought drain cleaner you keep on hand. Don’t! Please don’t. You should never use store-bought drain cleaners. They’re a cheap option, but you literally get what you pay for. Read on as we uncover just why you should never use these store-bought “solutions.”
If there is any appliance in the home that homeowners take for granted, it’s probably their water heater. Even though they’re the most often used appliance in the house, you probably don’t give it much thought unless something goes wrong with it, right? And then when something does go wrong with it, the next question is if it’s worth repairing or if it’s time for a replacement.
A water heater in disrepair should be replaced when it’s reached a couple of decades in age, is showing signs of corrosion and/or simply cannot work as efficiently as it used to.
The next question is, what should you replace that water heater with? After all, you don’t have to stick with the same old model of tank heater. That’s not to say there aren’t benefits to these systems, which we’ll explore below, but you might benefit from a tankless water heater. Read on as we uncover the pros and cons of both.

We don’t realize how critical an optimally working plumbing system is until one of its components and fixtures develop a fault. In many cases, a plumbing fault results in an emergency where you need professional help ASAP. If you find yourself in that “plumbing 911” situation in your Modesto house, you should call us.
The following are the plumbing emergency services that we offer as the most dependable local Modesto plumber.
A dripping tap doesn’t just create a mess in bathrooms and kitchens. It also results in wasting multiple gallons of clean water every day. The dripping taps can also turn into faucets with uncontrollable water flow if you don’t get them fixed in time. Therefore, if any tap in the house has developed insistent dripping, call us. Our experts will take care of your dripping tap in the first visit to save clean water wastage and bring back convenience.
A running toilet is worse than a dripping/running tap. However, many people still don’t bother about them. Keep in mind that a running toilet can result in the loss of over 200 gallons of clean water every single day. Therefore, persisting with a running toilet is not just an act of irresponsibility and a disservice to the environment. It can also result in hiking up the water bill. Our plumbing team can fix your running toilets within a couple of hours of your emergency call.
Slow and blocked drains can quickly precipitate into a plumbing crisis with dirty water standing in different parts of your property. If you are suffering from this sudden plumbing nightmare, drop us an emergency line. Our expert team will try to resolve your problem within a single visit.
If you can’t get the required hot/cold water in your taps, it can worsen the use of water in extreme weather. If you struggle to maintain that hot-cold balance, get in touch with us. We will ensure that your water heater and thermostat work perfectly fine along with the connected plumbing fixtures and provide you the water in line with your requirement.
Leaky plumbing pipes are among the worst plumbing situations for various reasons and demand an immediate/emergency response. Leaky plumbing pipes waste hundreds of gallons of water. They stain the surfaces with mold and mildew growth with a strong stench of dampness. The constant leaking water also seeps into the walls and puts the house’s structural integrity in jeopardy.
For all the reasons mentioned above, consider leaky pipes an emergency and call the professional plumbing contractor to offer full-fledged emergency services at very short notice. Case in point: DeHart Plumbing Heating & Air Inc. Apart from plumbing, we also offer first-rate heating and air conditioning repair and maintenance services to both residential and commercial clients.
