Helpful plumbing

Pulled and reset toilet with new wax ring.  *Helpful hint: if you even notice that when you flush, sometimes it looks like there is water at the base of the toilet? Well this is 99% an indication that you may need a new wax ring because the seal is no longer doing what it is supposed to be doing. This is a quick and easy fix. 

Do you have a cleanout??

What is a cleanout? Well in most modern homes, there is a mainline cleanout that is built, in order for a plumber to be able to sufficiently clear the line whenever you have a major backup. Most people are not sure if they have one or not. They are usually placed outside directly behind the kitchen sink or in the front yard. These are very important to have. If you have an older home, sometimes the cleanout is only accessible through the roof, but with todays CAL/OSHA codes plumbers are not allowed to go up on the roof to snake the mainline because of the dangers of doing so. If you are unaware if you have one, look around your house, it looks like a approximately 2" round hole with a cap on it. If you do not have one, it is important to have one installed because in the long run, it will save you money. Not having a cleanout, means that a plumber will have to find an alternative way of accessing it to clear the line. This usually includes pulling a toilet or two, which is a co

Are you ready for the Holidays?

No one likes to have a clogged drain, let alone during the holidays when you have people over all the time and you are cooking up a storm. If you know you haven't had your drains cleared; especially your kitchen drain. It is time to get it cleared to make sure that it does not back up in the middle of a holiday party. Routine cleanings are recommended and they save a lot of headache and money along the way. Also note: Do NOT put your potatoe peels down the drain, because then your drain most definitely will get backed up and you will need someone like us: An honest, affordable, and reliable plumbing company to come out and clear it all before the guests arrive. :)

Research is Key

When finding a plumber, you want to know who is coming into your home. You want to know what the company is about, what the represent, do they offer Free quotes or assessments? A lot of companies charge you even if they do not do any work. Does that seem very fair? No. You should not have to pay for anything unless they perform some sort of work. Take your time looking at these companies and figure out what suites you. Call them, ask them if they offer these things so you are not caught off guard and end up with money lost on a company that did nothing to help you.

Do you have a root problem?

Recently we have been recieving many calls from customers who are dealing with constant mainline backups; those that we come across are in large part to roots.   If you have a large tree in front of your house, you are prone to getting continuous backups. Our company knows how much of a pain this could be for customers and we are happy to help you out. Because it is proven that even though we may clear a stoppage one time, with root infestation, you are going to get a back up again. We recommend to all our customers who have these issues to get your line cleared every 6 months to a year. We work with you and set up a set price if you want to set up yearly cleanings. If you feel this is an issue you are having and want to schedule with us, give us a call at 714-654-8199

be careful what you put down your sink

backed up kitchen sink. When you put things like eggs shells, potato skins, etc down the draing it will clog up the line and even the garbage disposal if you put it down the garbage disposal. It is best to dispose of those items and anything like them in the trash can to prohibit from any backup from happening.

Mainline Replacement

Mainline replacement

Late night jobs

We had a late night call for a mainline backup. This was caused by roots infesting the line. For this certian customer, they did not have a cleanout available to clear the line, so the toilet was pulled to try and clear the line. The line was cleared, but will likely stop up again beacause of the roots. For anyone that does not have a cleanout installed, it does make it more difficult to have things cleared. We recommend having a cleanout installed if you do not already have one. If you have questions on pricing or want to know what a clean out is, feel free to contact us.

Water Pressure Gage

The picture above is of a water pressure gage. you can purchase this at any hardware store for around $10. The number at which the arrow is pointing is NOT what you want your water pressure to be. This is very dangerous and can cause big problems for you if your water pressure is this high. Invest in one of these or call and make an appointment with us and we can check it for you and walk through your options if indeed your pressure is too high.

Preventative Maintenance

Remember these little things and it will save you a lot of money and headache in the future: -Ladies, do not discard your feminine products down the toilet, they only build up and cause a blockage in your drain. In addition, try and keep your hair out of the sink and shower drains as much as you can. By doing this you will be less likely to have a backed up drain. -It is recommended to have your drains maintenance at least every 6 months to ensure lines are clear and things are going smoothly. Again, by doing this it will prevent any large backups or problems from occurring. Thus, saving you money. -Remember, things rust and get old over time. It is recommended to have these items switched out and renewed. Things like angle stops, ball valves, etc. -If you have any questions on what we recommend to keep your plumbing issues to a minimum, give us a call at 714-654-8199 or email us at robnhoodplumbing@yahoo.com. We are happy to help you with all your plumbing needs and to answer

It's the little things that count

It is very important to pay attention to the little things in your home. Recently we had a client who called us in a panic because she had just arrived home to find her entire bottom floor of her house flooded. When our plumber arrived, he searched to find the source of the problem. Turns out it was a burst angle stop due to high water pressure in her home. In addition, she was unable to turn off the water, so the water company had to come and take care of it. It is very important for everyone to be educated on the small things. To prepare and know what to do in case anything like this was to occur to you. All of these problems are avoidable. We recommend checking your water pressure on a monthly basis. Things such as local construction going on near your home can, yes, have an effect on your pressure. You can purchase a pressure gage from your local hardware store for just $10.00. Hook it onto your hosebib and turn on the water and it will show you what your pressure is. Or if you h
