Do I Need Fall Plumbing Maintenance?

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

As the vibrant colors of fall begin to emerge and the air turns crisp, it’s a clear reminder that winter is just around the corner. While you might be busy enjoying the seasonal festivities, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of maintaining your plumbing system during this transitional period.

Fall plumbing maintenance is essential to ensure your home remains safe, efficient, and comfortable throughout the colder months. Below, learn more about why it should be a priority on your fall checklist, and how Boelcke can help. Keep reading to learn more!

6 Reasons Why Fall Plumbing Maintenance is Important

  1. Preventing Frozen Pipes

One of the most significant risks during the winter is frozen pipes. When water freezes, it expands, which can cause pipes to burst and lead to extensive water damage. By insulating your pipes and ensuring they are in good condition during the fall, you can prevent this costly and inconvenient problem.

  1. Avoiding Costly Repairs

Regular maintenance helps identify and fix minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Leaks, clogs, and other plumbing issues can worsen over time, leading to expensive repairs. Fall is the perfect time to address these issues, ensuring your plumbing system is in top shape before the winter stress tests it.

  1. Ensuring Efficient Water Heating

As temperatures drop, the demand for hot water increases. Ensuring your water heater is functioning efficiently is crucial for comfort and energy savings. Fall maintenance includes flushing the water heater to remove sediment buildup, which can improve efficiency and extend the lifespan of the unit.

  1. Protecting Outdoor Plumbing

Outdoor faucets, hoses, and sprinkler systems are particularly vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Draining and storing hoses, shutting off outdoor faucets, and winterizing sprinkler systems can prevent damage and ensure they are ready to use again in the spring.

  1. Maintaining Gutters and Downspouts

While not directly part of your plumbing system, gutters and downspouts play a crucial role in directing water away from your home. Clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, which can damage your foundation and basement. Cleaning and maintaining them in the fall ensures proper drainage and protects your home from water damage.

  1. Improving Indoor Air Quality

Plumbing maintenance can also impact your indoor air quality. Leaky pipes and standing water can lead to microbial growth, which can affect the air you breathe. Addressing these issues during fall maintenance helps maintain a healthy indoor environment.

Fall plumbing maintenance is a proactive approach to safeguarding your home against the challenges of winter. By taking the time to inspect, repair, and prepare your plumbing system, you can prevent frozen pipes, avoid costly repairs, and ensure efficient water heating. Additionally, protecting outdoor plumbing and maintaining gutters can save you from potential water damage. As you enjoy the beauty of fall, make sure to prioritize these essential maintenance tasks to keep your home safe and comfortable all season long.

By following these tips, you can ensure your plumbing system is ready to handle the colder months ahead. If you need professional assistance, don’t hesitate to contact Boelcke to help with your fall maintenance at (269) 429-9261.

Save Water This Summer with These Tips

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

hands holding globe of waterDry spells can be a common occurrence during the summer months, and that can mean water shortages can happen. Homeowners who use a public water supply may be asked to conserve water by their municipality, or those with a well may be concerned about their system running dry. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to keep the water flowing.

In this article, we’ll share some tips for conserving water during the summer months, and how Boelcke can help with any plumbing concerns you might have. Keep reading below to learn more!

7 Tips for Conserving Water in the Summer

There are several ways homeowners can conserve water during the summer months, including:

  1. Water Early or Late: Water your garden and lawn in the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.
  2. Check Toilet for Leaks: Perform the toilet test by adding food coloring to the tank; if it seeps into the bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
  3. Shorten Showers: Cut down your shower time and turn off the water while soaping or shaving to save gallons.
  4. Use a Car Wash: Choose an automatic car wash that uses less water than hand washing.
  5. Dishwasher Over Hand Washing: Use a water-efficient dishwasher instead of hand washing dishes.
  6. Cover Your Pool: Reduce water loss from evaporation by covering your swimming pool when not in use. That way, you won’t have to add as much water to your pool.
  7. Collect Rainwater: Use a rain barrel to collect rainwater for watering plants and gardens.

Implementing these simple yet effective strategies can lead to significant water savings. Not only does it help the environment, but it can also reduce your water bill during those peak usage months.

Make sure your plumbing is running smoothly with Boelcke.

At Boelcke, we’re pleased to provide complete plumbing services to homeowners, including plumbing repair, installation, and inspection.

The Holidays are Here Again – Keep Your Plumbing Running Smoothly.

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

The holidays are that wonderful time of year when family and friends gather in your home for food, festivities, and fun. While this season is for special times with those you love, it can also be the time of year when your home’s plumbing system has to work extra hard to keep up with the demands of a full house.

Nobody wants to think about experiencing a plumbing issue in the midst of a celebration. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to keep your plumbing running smoothly. In this article, we’ll talk about five steps you can take to steer clear of plumbing issues during the holiday season, and how Boelcke can help if there’s a problem. Keep reading to learn more!

6 Tips to Keep Your Plumbing Problem-Free this Holiday Season

  1. Know what to throw away. In the midst of a busy holiday meal, it can be tempting to scrape plates into the sink. However, this can lead to buildup in your drains, which inevitably can cause your sink’s plumbing to clog. Make sure your sink strainers are in place, and scape plates and serving dishes into the garbage.
  2. Keep your garbage disposal clear. There are certain foods that you should avoid putting down your garbage disposal. Bones, eggshells, fat, grease, and string vegetables like celery and squash should not go in your disposal. They can clog your unit, or cause issues with the blades and motor.
  3. Avoid toilet clogs and overflows. You know what’s safe to flush down your toilet, but your guests might not. As a rule of thumb, items like baby wipes and diapers, personal products, cotton balls, swabs, pads, and cigarette butts should never be flushed down the toilet. Clogs can happen, though, so it’s always a good idea to have a plunger nearby.
  4. Properly dispose of grease. Grease is the word when it comes to common drain problems. Dumping grease down the drain is never a good idea, as it can solidify and cause a clog. Not to mention, grease attracts anything else that might slip down your drain, such as food particles and hair, causing a large clump in your drain pipes. Pour grease into a can that can be disposed of when it cools, or wait for grease in pans to solidify and scrape it into the trash.
  5. Give your drains some extra TLC. Because your sinks and tubs will likely be working overtime this holiday season, you can help keep your drains in good condition with some common household items. Baking soda and vinegar can help keep drains running freely. Start by running hot water down the drain. Next, pour a solution of 1 cup of baking soda, one cup of water, and one cup of vinegar into the drain. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, and flush with hot water.
  6. Keep the hot water flowing. When you have guests staying over during the holidays, and you’re working hard to prepare those fantastic holiday dinners, your hot water heater is working overtime, too. It’s good practice to have a professional plumbing service, like Boelcke, inspect your hot water heater annually to make sure it’s functioning properly. And, if your hot water heater is more than 10 years old, it’s time to consider replacing it.

My Pipes are Frozen! What Should I Do?

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

It’s that time of year again when the chill of winter has returned and the temperatures can dip down quickly. When the freezing cold temperatures hit, an unfortunate side effect can be frozen pipes. During extreme cold, water supply pipes are often subject to both freezing and bursting, and that can wreak havoc with your home.

As a plumbing company, Boelcke likes to help people prevent frozen pipes as much as possible. That’s why we’re always happy to share advice, like these tips on how you can keep your pipes from freezing offered by The American Red Cross. But, what if your pipes are already frozen? In this article, we’ll offer some steps you can take to help thaw your pipes safely, and hopefully, avoid or minimize damage. Keep reading to learn more!

4 Steps You Can Take if You Have Frozen Pipes

If the temperatures are below freezing, and you turn on a faucet and only a trickle of water comes out, it’s likely a frozen pipe. Frozen pipes are most common against exterior walls of your home, or where your water service enters your home through the foundation.

  1. First things first. Shut off the water main and open any faucets that are connected to the pipe. This step is crucial because it reduces pressure on the pipes, and can help minimize any flooding if the pipes burst.
  2. Next, thaw the pipe if you can. Use a hair dryer or space heater to thaw the ice blockage. Do not leave it unattended, and make sure any flammable materials have been removed from the area where you will be heating the pipe. Also, never use an open flame.
  3. Then, check the pipes for any leaks. Even with the water shut off, there should be enough pressure in the pipes to reveal any leaks once the ice blockage has thawed.
  4. Finally, call Boelcke to help. We can check out your pipes for any additional ice blockages, and we have the proper equipment to thaw your pipes, get them working again, and make any needed repairs. It’s especially important to give us a call if you’ve had severely frozen pipes, as this can weaken piping material and cause leaks or fractures down the road.

Keep in mind, frozen pipes need to be taken care of properly in order to prevent a disaster. That means, as soon as you discover your pipes are frozen, you need to take the above measures and give Boelcke a call as soon as possible. Our skilled master plumbers can help you get your frozen pipes thawed, and in the unfortunate event of a burst pipe, we can make the repairs needed to your plumbing.

At Boelcke, we offer complete plumbing services, but we also like to help homeowners by providing a few DIY tips now and then. In this article, we’ll share a few tips on how you can make sure your home’s plumbing system is spring-ready. Keep reading to learn more!

5 Tips to Make Sure Your Home’s Plumbing is Ready for Spring

Want to learn more about how you can make sure the plumbing in your home is ready for the spring season ahead? Here are a few tips that can help ensure your plumbing is prepared:

  1. Make sure your sump pump is working properly. Once spring arrives, so does the rain and unfortunately, basement flooding. Check your sump pump as early in the spring as possible to make sure it’s operating properly so you’ll be prepared for wet conditions.
  2. Consider installing a water softener. Most of the water in Michigan is considered hard to very hard. That means that there are a lot of minerals present in the water that can lead to buildup in pipes, in your water heater, and in heating equipment that uses water, like boilers. It can even cause problems with appliances, such as coffeemakers and ice machines. A water softener can help keep hard water from becoming a problem.
  3. Inspect your home’s water heater. Spring is a great time to make sure your home equipment, such as your air conditioning system and water heater, is working properly. Getting annual maintenance on your water heater from a professional plumber can help ensure it’s running smoothly and efficiently.
  4. Check your outdoor spigots and faucets. In the winter, outdoor fixtures like sprinklers, outdoor faucets, and spigots can freeze and become damaged. You’ll want to inspect your sprinkler heads and hose spigots for any leaks or damages that could have been caused by freezing winter temperatures.
  5. Check gutters and downspouts. During the winter months, debris and vegetation can collect in gutters and downspouts. Sometimes, animals like squirrels use gutters for nesting and food storage during the winter months. So, you’ll want to make sure your gutters are free of anything that could cause clogs that prevent rainwater from flowing freely.

Of course, if you’re uncomfortable with tackling plumbing concerns on your own, no worries – Boelcke is always ready to help you find the best solution.

How Can I Keep My Bathroom Plumbing Running Smoothly?

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

A cozy farmhouse bathroom with a wood cabinet, marble countertop, and subway tile shower.You might not think about it very often, but your home’s bathroom is a busy place. Between the sink, tub, shower, and toilet, there’s a lot of water flowing into your bathroom every day, and wastewater flowing out. That’s why it’s so important to keep your bathroom plumbing in good shape.

Nobody wants to think about clogged pipes, plugged toilets, or leaky faucets. Fortunately, there are many things you can do as a homeowner to help keep your bathroom plumbing flowing freely. In this article, we’ll share some tips on what you as a homeowner can do, as well as how Boelcke can help.

7 Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Plumbing Working Properly

While you should always call your plumber for serious clogs or leaky pipes and faucets, there are a few things you can do to help keep your bathroom plumbing in good working order, including:

  1. Maintain your bathroom sink. Toothpaste, hair care products, lotions, and soap chips can build up in your bathroom sink’s drain, especially if hair has collected there, too. Using a mesh drain cover in your sink can help keep any hair out. Run hot water down the sink weekly to help break up any residue.
  2. Put a mesh drain cover in your shower drain. This can help catch things like hair and lint, which can end up clogging your shower drain. Avoid pouring chemicals or greasy substances down your shower drain, too.
  3. Don’t flush unflushable items down your toilet. Ideally, you will only want to flush waste and toilet paper. Paper towels, baby wipes, cotton swabs, and sanitary products should never go down the toilet.
  4. Check for toilet tank leaks. If you’re concerned that your toilet tank is leaking into the bowl, you can test it by putting some red food coloring into the toilet tank and waiting an hour or so. If it leaks into the bowl in that time, you’ll want to call your plumber as the tank ball will likely need to be replaced.
  5. Clean the showerhead with vinegar. Mineral buildup, especially in areas where the water is hard, can stop the water from flowing freely from your showerhead over time. To clear mineral deposits, simply unscrew your showerhead and soak it in vinegar for 24 hours. This should help remove the deposits, allowing the water to flow freely again.
  6. Be cautious of what household chemicals you use. Some chemicals are very caustic and can corrode your plumbing over time. While approved for cleaning surfaces in your home, they can do a number on your plumbing. Some cleaners can become especially corrosive when combined.
  7. Clean tub and faucet aerators. The aerator is just the cap on your faucet with tiny holes in it. Unfortunately, hard water can cause those holes to clog up with mineral deposits. Carefully unscrew your aerator and gently brush vinegar on the aerator to remove any sediment.

Rely on Boelcke for the bathroom plumbing services you need.

Don’t Let Your Bathroom Plumbing Be the Grinch This Holiday Season

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

wood box with seasons greetings and red towels on toiletThe holiday season means it’s that time of the year to enjoy family, friends, food, and festivities. And that also means a steady stream of guests visiting – and using your home’s restrooms. Unfortunately, that can sometimes lead to some plumbing concerns.

While nobody wants to have a conversation with family and friends about what they can flush and what they can’t, it’s important to make sure some items are discarded in the wastebasket instead of down the toilet.

In this article, we’re sharing a list of items that should never be flushed, and how they can harm your plumbing. We’ll also tell you how Boelcke can help keep your bathroom plumbing working smoothly all year long – keep reading to learn more!

7 Items That Should Never Be Flushed

Toilets are designed to handle waste and toilet paper, but not much else. Flushing other items can cause clogs, damage, and environmental problems. Here are seven items you should never flush down the toilet, no matter how tempting it may be.

  1. Wet wipes: Wet wipes, such as baby wipes or facial cleansing wipes, should never be flushed down the toilet, even if they’re labeled as flushable. The material they’re made of does not break down easily in water like toilet paper does. Because of this, they can clog your pipes and can harm your septic system.
  2. Cotton balls and cotton swabs: Even though they’re small, cotton balls and swabs will clump together in your pipes, forming clogs.
  3. Feminine hygiene products and diapers: These items are made to absorb liquid and expand, which, if flushed, can cause them to swell and block pipes. This can cause your toilet to back up and overflow – something nobody wants to happen. It’s best to wrap these items in toilet paper and dispose of them in the garbage.
  4. Cat litter: Cat litter is made of material that does not dissolve in water. Clumping litter is made to absorb moisture, so you can imagine the harm it can do to your pipes. The best way to get rid of cat litter of any kind is to scoop it into a plastic bag and dispose of it in the trash.
  5. Plastic items: Plastic items such as wrappers, applicators, and bottle tops should never go down the toilet. Plastic does not biodegrade and can cause major blockages in your plumbing and damage to your septic system.
  6. Grease, oil, or fat: Flushing grease, oil, or fat down the toilet is just as bad as putting them down your sink. They can solidify as they cool and can coat your pipes. Not to mention, anything that’s okay to flush, like toilet paper, can cling to the solidified grease and form a nasty clog. Dispose of grease by letting it cool, pouring it into a container, and disposing of it in the garbage.
  7. Hair: While it might not seem damaging, flushing hair down your toilet can cause clogs, blockages, and other damage. Hair does not decompose in the water and can get tangled and form knots in your pipes. Collect hair from shaving, trims, and hairbrushes and toss it in the trash.

To avoid clogs, damage, and pollution, always dispose of the above items in the trash or the recycling bin, if applicable. This will keep your toilet from overflowing – and becoming the Grinch of your family holiday!

Could Plumbing Issues Be Making My Home Too Humid?

Posted on by Boelcke Heating & AC

woman looks at possible leak in kitchen sink or faucetOnce the summer months roll around, most people notice that the air feels more humid. In your home, your air conditioning system can help keep the humidity down. Some homes also require dehumidification to keep home humidity at a manageable level. If you have a dehumidifier and air conditioning but are still noticing that your home is uncomfortably damp, it might be time to look for other issues.

Usually, an AC system coupled with a dehumidifier does the trick in homes that tend to hold in the humid air. If they don’t seem to be working, it’s likely that some of the moisture in your home is coming from something besides the humid outdoor air. It could be that you have a plumbing issue that’s making your home more humid than it should be. In this article, we’ll talk about some plumbing issues that could be a cause for concern. Keep reading to learn more!

5 Plumbing Issues That Might Be Increasing Your Home’s Humidity Level

The major plumbing concern that could be causing your home to be overly damp is, quite simply, leaks. Unfortunately, people may not realize that there can be leaks that aren’t always noticeable. If your home seems overly damp, or you’re noticing a musty odor or mold growth throughout your home, you might want to check for leaks in these areas:

  1. Tub & Shower Drains: Tub and shower drains can leak, especially those that are plastic or fiberglass, as these materials tend to flex when people stand on them. That can result in the seal around the drain breaking. Signs that this could be happening include water stains on a ceiling below the tub, or damp and loose tiles or flooring around the tub.
  2. Toilet Flange: The toilet flange is the space where your toilet is joined to the waste pipe. In the occurrence of a toilet flange leak, water will seep out every time you flush. This is very problematic, as it not only contributes to the dampness in your home, but it eventually destroys your flooring and subflooring, and, if your bathroom is located on a second story, the ceiling below.
  3. Sinks: Leaky pipes underneath your sinks can be sneaky. Sometimes, it’s a small leak that may not be readily noticeable, but over time will cause your sink base and flooring to rot. If you notice that items stored in an under-sink cabinet seem damp, old water stains near the plumbing, or a musty odor, chances are you have a leak.
  4. Water Heaters: Water heater tanks can start slowly, but then eventually burst – leaving you with a disaster on your hands. If you notice any puddling around the tank, it’s time to act. It could be a valve, which usually only requires a repair. But if the tank itself is leaking, you will likely need to replace it right away.
  5. Washers: There are many reasons why your washing machine might be leaking, including drain hose issues, a faulty drain pump, or even a clogged hose. Check for puddles behind or around the washer if you suspect this might be a problem. Leaks around your washer can damage flooring and cause wood rot, so they should be taken care of as soon as possible.
