Homes with private wells must be careful when there is a flood event or flooding disaster nearby, because the underground well can be contaminated by the floodwaters even after the water recedes. If an underground well has had contact with floodwaters, the water in the well can be unsafe to use for daily drinking or bathing purposes. A well that has been susceptible to contamination from a flood is no longer a potable reserve for water for a residence or commercial property. In those cases, well water that has been open to contamination from floodwaters can be a serious health hazard for humans. Drinking or bathing from water in a well made unsafe by floodwaters can even cause death for individuals who are exposed to contaminated water in those circumstances. Water testing after a flood is a necessity. Once the floodwaters have receded, many homeowners will be anxious to get back to their properties to find and salvage their personal belongings, as well as to clean up their flood-related debris. You should never touch, bath in, drink or come into contact with any flood-related debris from floodwaters after a flood. Before the water can be certified as safe to use again for daily household use, it will need to be professionally tested. The water will need to have a chlorinated process applied to it, to clear up all the flood-related contaminants to prevent reintroducing contamination to the area of the well. When your well may be at risk of being contaminated, you should never use the affected flood contaminated water to: • Drink water • Make ice cubes • Cook with water • Brush teeth • Wash laundry • Bathing and showering Boiling contaminated water is no fix! You should be aware that although boiling clear water for over one minute can make it somewhat safer for use in some cases, the action of boiling highly contaminated water can also make the water wholly unsafe to drink. This is because boiling contaminants in water can also serve to increase the concentration of some contaminants such as nitrates. Contaminants hiding in water affected by flood may not be viewed or even seen with the naked eye. For this reason, contaminants and microorganisms may be lurking in what appears to be clean-looking water, but stay forewarned. Bacteria, viruses, chemicals and even pesticides can remain as viable contaminants in well water that has been overrun by a flood, and these contaminants make your well water unsuitable and unsafe to utilize for your home and family needs. It is important to remember that floodwaters and carry viruses, bacteria and molds over many large land areas, even over entire neighborhoods, to contaminate water resources serviced by these regions. For safety reasons, and to prevent the risk of shock, a well pump that has been overrun by floodwater should not be used until it is cleared by an electrical professional to say that it is all safe to use again. After the floodwaters go down again, schedule an electrical professional to come to your home to check out any electrical systems related to the pump to assess any damaged components before it is used again. If you experience floodwaters in or around your residential or commercial property, just give us a call for assistance. We are here for you 24/7 and can come to you in any season. We are able to give you peace of mind and help you get back to a normal schedule after a water damage loss related to floodwaters.

Water always finds the path of least resistance when it is invading the home unannounced. Water damage can be a destructive force in a home or business. It can penetrate foundations and lower level structures to weaken materials in the home’s inner walls and foundation quickly. Add to the element of general water damage the factor of sewage that can accompany water when there is a sewage leak event in the home or business property. When sewage water contaminates the basement area of a home, or lower levels of a commercial property, it brings with it a highly significant threat to human health and safety in those regions. Sewage water contains high levels of contaminants, including: • Pharmaceuticals • Human waste • Lead • Mercury • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) • Sterols • Anaerobic bacteria • Detergents • E. coli • Pathogenic organisms • Biologically active compounds • Environmental hazards • Environmental estrogens • Nitrogen • CODs, BODs, TOCs • Phosphorus • Grease and oils • Biodiesels • Bacteria • Bacillus • Clostridium • Salmonella • Shigella • Staphylococcus • Nitrobacter • Flagellates • Viral pathogens • Hepatitis A The cleanup of sewage leaks can be critical to help prevent adverse effects on human health. The presence of human waste in sewage water is especially dangerous because there are over 100,000 different types of viruses that are found in human waste. Other pathogenic diseases that can be spread through sewage water include: • Typhoid fever • Diarrhea • Gastroenteritis • Cholera The chemicals that may be present in sewage water may also vary depending on the type of catchment, such as to whether there are combined: • Domestic wastes • Industrial wastes • Dead animal wastes Any time that a residence or commercial building is contaminated with a sewage backup, the sewage needs to be cleaned up and the area requires sanitation immediately. Once the sewage is able to penetrate the walls of a home structure, the wood, concrete or other areas of the home related to the foundation of a building or the building itself, there is the opportunity for the growth of dangerous microorganisms and mycotoxins to occur. The sewage will leave behind a long list of contaminants, waste products, diseases and hazardous compounds, which threaten human health and safety. Additionally, the water and fungus often accompanying a sewage backup allow the prime conditions to exist for the initialization of a growth of gram-negative bacteria, toxic fungus and dangerous microorganisms that are adverse and hazardous to human health. Whenever you have a sewage water leak or floodwaters that contain sewage or contaminated water affecting your residential or commercial property, just give us a call. We will come to you fast to remediate sewage water cleanups to protect your property and your health. We will get you back up and running fast. Call today!

Springtime is closer than you think, and with the arrival of spring comes the scheduling of seasonable plumbing service and the inevitable readying of the plumbing system in your Monroe, NC, home for sunny days ahead. While your plumbing service professional will do the bulk of the work, there are some things you can do to make sure that your plumbing is spring ready. Interior Plumbing Maintenance Checking your indoor plumbing regularly can help you stave off any problems on down the road. Some things to do now, before spring is fully sprung, include: • Check for damp floors and pooling water under your sinks. Leaks can be expensive to fix once they've taken a foothold and done major damage. While you're under the sinks detecting leaks, be sure to check your scrubbing and drain cleaners for corrosion, cracks, and missing caps. These cleaners are super caustic, so if you have to store them near your pipes, they need to be in good condition. • Visually check all indoor connectors and faucets. Turn your faucet taps and shut-off valves. You want to be sure they're fully operational and turn on and off smoothly. Test hot and cold water taps independently, looking for low water pressure. This can signify a leak in your plumbing lines. • Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank on your toilets. Wait several minutes. If you see color seeping through into the bowl, then you'll know that the flapper in your tank has failed or is failing. Your plumbing service pro can replace it in a jiffy. • Clean your showerhead to rid it of mineral deposits that can reduce water pressure and performance. To do so, just unscrew the head, and then soak it in vinegar to loosen up the debris and buildup of particulate matter before rinsing and screwing it back on. For particularly dirty showerheads, affix a plastic bag filled with vinegar using a rubber band to hold it in place on the showerhead overnight. Scrub off deposits using a scrub brush or a toothbrush. • Check your water heater, looking for leaks or pooled water. Think about having your tank flushed to remove any sediment that has accumulated since its last flush; this sediment can end up corroding your tank, causing clogs, low performance, and eventual tank failure. • Make a visual inspection of the pipes running along the interior walls of your Monroe, NC, home. You're looking for signs of damage or leaks. If those pipes are wrapped in insulation, unwrap them to look for dampness or mold, then rewrap them in case another bout of cold weather comes your way. • Head down to the basement and check on your sump pump, if you have one. Pour several gallons or buckets of water into the pump's pit, and then observe a full cycle of operation. Contact your plumbing services professional right away if the pump fails to turn on or complete a cycle. It should drain the water completely; if it does not, then there's a problem. A normally operating sump pump will come on automatically, discharge the water fast, and then shut itself off again. • Adjust the temperature of your water heater. If you're like many folks, you turn your water heater up in the winter to counteract the cooler temps and the resulting performance lag experienced when the mercury plummets. • Look for bulges and leaks in the supply hoses that run to your dishwasher, ice maker, and washer. Outdoor Maintenance The maintenance of outdoor plumbing is equally as critical as that of indoor plumbing. Help get your exterior plumbing service up to speed in time for mother nature's arrival with a few simple actions: • Restore the flow of water to your outdoor faucets. Check each tap to ensure it turns on and off with minimal effort. The faucets should be free of leaks. • Check and prime your irrigation system, if you have one, or call on your plumbing service pro to do it for you. • Reattach any hoses that were disconnected in preparation for cold weather. Check each hose to ensure there are no leaks or cracks present. • Clean the gutters to rid them of any debris that has piled up in them over the winter months and to take care of any flowers and seeds dropping from trees in the early spring. Blocked gutters can result in blocked downspouts and eaves, which can cause water damage. • Walk around the area where your home's septic tank is installed, if you have one. Make note of any suspicious wet spots or puddling of water, and call on your local plumbing service for an inspection if you think there's a problem. Letting the problem fester will just make things worse, so act quickly to resolve any issues before they become a big and expensive mess. • Check your plumbing vent pipes for bird nests. Birds are busy making babies this time of year, and they can be creative with nesting. Reverse De-Winterizing If you de-winterized a vacation home or rental property, then the time is nearly on hand to reverse all those steps you took in the colder months so that the home is ready for occupancy again. This normally involves programming alarm systems and thermostats, plugging appliances back in again, draining your water softener and water heater, and re-connecting all drain pipes and hoses. If your plumbing service de-winterized your home to begin with, then they're more than happy to come out and reverse the process for you. Calling ahead and scheduling semi-annual plumbing service is a smart move, but there are some things you can do yourself to get a home spring ready. Count on bluefrog Plumbing + Drain in Monroe, NC, for your plumbing service needs this spring and year-round. We're ready to hop into action to keep your home's plumbing operating just as it should every season.

One of the hardest working systems in your home is the plumbing system. While you may be blissfully unaware of how much is going on behind the scenes, your pipes are busy working almost every minute of the day. When you jump in the shower, flush the toilet, brush your teeth, wash your hands, or do the laundry your pipes are working. Water is on the move in most homes throughout the day, which means pipes are in use most of the day. While it's great news that your plumbing system is working so well you don't have to think about it, eventually, the pipes can wear out leaving you needing an emergency plumber. Pipes that are overused start to thin out, leak, and on some occasions burst. Yearly maintenance visits from your local Matthews, NC plumbing service can help you troubleshoot and replace weak pipes before this happens so you don't end up with an emergency. However, outside of calling a plumbing service to check in on your plumbing system, there are a few things you can do to help prevent your pipes from wearing out. There is no perfect way to keep your pipes from wearing out, but there are some simple adjustments that can help lengthen their lifespan. The following is a quick list of plumber approved tips that will help you keep your pipes in tip-top condition. Check Your Water Pressure The very first thing you should do is check your water pressure. High water pressure may feel good on your back in the shower, but it is hard on your pipes as well as the plumbing joints. In general, most plumbers recommend that your PSI is 85 or less to ensure the safety of your popes. If you think that your water pressure is running high, then you may want to call a plumbing service to find out about installing a water pressure gauge in your home. This is a simple way to ensure that your pipes are not being put under extra duress. Don't Ignore Leaks People live very busy lives these days, so it is not unheard of for people to look the other way when they notice a small leak. Outside of spending the money to fix a leak, busy people just don't want to waste time dealing with a plumbing appointment. However, a small leak is a small hassle to fix, a leak that constantly eats away at your piping will grow until it becomes a very large and very expensive leak. At this point, you may be dealing with water damage which will be a much larger hassle to deal with. If you notice a small leak in your home, call your Matthews, NC plumber sooner instead of later. Not only will this help save your pipes, but it will save your home and money. There is simply no such thing as a small leak. A leak is the first sign of an issue with your plumbing system, treat it like a check engine light on your car and get to the bottom of the problem quickly. Avoid the Use of Chemical Drain Cleaners Chemical drain cleaners are rarely a good idea, which is why you should avoid using them if you want to keep your pipes healthy. Any plumber will tell you that chemical drain cleaners may sound like a cheap solution, but end up being a very costly problem for most homeowners. This is because chemical drain cleaners are made up of harsh chemicals that can eat up almost anything that could be causing a clog. While this is good for clearing a clog, the chemicals don't stop eating once the blockage is gone. They will continue to eat away at your pipes slowly corroding and rusting out your pipes with each treatment. If you use chemical drain cleaners to deal with clogs and blockages then your pipes will likely suffer irreparable damage. The result will be a piping system that needs a complete overhaul, and that is not a cheap venture. Hire a Plumber for Routine Drain Cleaning With that thought in mind, instead of using chemical drain cleaners that will destroy your pipes hire a plumber to professionally clean out your drains (and pipes in the process). The more scum that builds up in your pipes the more pressure will build up when water is flowing through them. This added pressure will wear out pipes in the same manner as high pressure in general. In other words, pipes with blockages or clogs are doing double the work that they should. Not dealing with the issue or using shortcuts like chemical cleaners will only break down your pipes more. Choosing to have your drains routinely cleaned if you know you have issues is a much wiser way to approach the situation. Plus, as a bonus, it will relieve the pressure on your pipes and help extend their lifespan. In general, most plumbers will recommend cleaning your drains on an annual basis. Pick a season for drain cleaning and stick to it. This way your pipes and drains will stay efficient and you don't have to stress about unexpected clogs. Pay Attention to Slow Drains An excellent sign that you should contact a Matthews, NC plumber and think about a drain cleaning is if you notice your drains are starting to slowly drain. Slow drains indicate that there is a blockage somewhere along the piping system. A blockage means more pressure and that means your pipes are already being overtaxed. If you notice that your drains are starting to slowly drain, call bluefrog Plumbing and Drain of Matthews, NC. We will happily come out and assess the situation to determine if something needs to be replaced or if a simple drain cleaning will do the trick. Give us a call today and take some of the pressure of your piping system.

If you own a home, you need to make sure you're taking good care of the plumbing system. While most homeowners don't have their plumbing system replaced or worked on too frequently, it can save you a lot of money in the long run. Drains are one of the things that a lot of homeowners seem to neglect more than anything. You can save a lot of money on drain cleaning services by keeping up with regular maintenance, and there are a lot of simple ways to do that. If you're wondering why taking care of the drains in your Charlotte, NC, home is so important, here's what you need to know. What Drains Can Handle The most important thing to think about if you want to avoid spending a fortune on drain cleaning services is what your drains are capable of handling. The fact of the matter is, drains aren't equipped with any fancy technology that allows them to deal with tough organic matter, so you need to make sure you're careful about what you're putting down there. Even if you've got a garbage disposal in your kitchen sink, you need to make sure you're not putting too much food waste down your drain. Your garbage disposal can only handle a certain amount of waste, and the waste it does take care of can still cause problems in your drain once it all builds up. A lot of people end up having to call a drain cleaning professional because they put things like grease, carcasses and coffee grounds down their kitchen sink. Another think you need to consider is what you're putting down your bathroom sink, toilet and shower drain. The only thing that should go down your toilet is toilet paper, and the only thing that should go down the drain in your sink or shower is soap and water. If you've got a lot of hair clogging up your bathroom drains, you can avoid major problems by installing a drain grate. The Right Chemicals One of the most important things to think about if you're trying to keep your drains in good shape is that there are some chemicals you never want to use in your drain. Despite there being a lot of popular chemical-based drain cleaners on the market, these drain cleaners can actually cause a lot of problems with your drains. On top of that, these drain cleaners don't generally work very well when it comes to eating away at organic matter and clearing out your drains. If you want to avoid spending money on drain cleaning services, you need to make sure you're using the right type of drain cleaner. The best drain cleaners are the ones that use enzymes to eat away at organic matter in your drains instead of using harsh chemicals that aren't as effective and can eat away at your pipes. You have to be especially careful when it comes to the drain cleaners you use if you've got certain types of pipes, as caustic drain cleaners can react with certain pipe materials to cause serious damage. No matter what type of pipes you've got, using a chemical-based drain cleaner can cause corrosion over time and lead to major problems. If you want to keep your pipes clean without having a drain cleaning service take care of the job for you, the best thing you can do is use an enzyme-based drain cleaner regularly. Major Drain Problems Most of the time when you've got a slow-draining sink or toilet, it's because there's a little bit of gunk clogging up the drain somewhere down the line. While this might be an inconvenience that requires the help of a drain cleaning service to take care of, it's also not a huge problem in terms of the damage it can cause. However, there are some cases where you a drain problem can cause a lot of problems, so it's important to know how to recognize those. One of the biggest things you need to look out for when it comes to your drains is a drain that you can't unclog with long-term enzyme-based drain cleaner used. While you can usually get a clog out by using one of these drain cleaners over a prolonged period, there are some cases where the clog simply won't break up. This might be because you've got a root growing through a main drain line or it might be because you've got a clog that needs to manually removed. Either way, it's important to call a drain cleaning service if you've got a clog you can't remove from your Charlotte, NC, home. A Little Advice While it might be tempting to be a little bit lazy when it comes to cleaning your drains or making sure you aren't putting the wrong stuff down them, you can save a lot of money on drain cleaning services by simply keeping up with a little bit of basic maintenance. Next time you think of throwing some food in the garbage disposal, throw it in the garbage instead. Don't forget, using an enzyme-based drain cleaner every once in a while can take care of a lot of your drain cleaning needs. The more gunk you keep from building up in your drains, the less likely you are to need to do a major cleaning. The Best Solution If you want to make sure your drains are clear and you don't have any major problems developing, the best thing you can do is get the help of a professional.

Tubs and Showers Tubs and showers require a bit more effort. Many showers and tubs include an access panel on the opposite side of the wall they are installed against. If you cannot locate the panel there, it's probably under the tub, which could mean going to the floor below or the basement to access it.

You Can Also Shut Off the Water to the House You can also look for the main shutoff for the building, which is probably located at the water meter. Find the meter and you will see the supply line going into your home. There should be a valve running to the water meter. Use this valve to shut down the water supply and prevent damage until the leak is repaired. Don't confuse this with the valve coming out of your home that won't turn off the water.

When it comes to drain cleaning, you may not even realize just how important it is. You probably assume that you only need to call a plumber if you have a clog or a leak of some kind. Well, the truth of the matter is that you can absolutely call a plumber for more than that and you actually should. Your Charlotte, NC home needs more than just a plumber when there's a problem. It needs you to call a plumber to take care of things before they turn into a problem. First, drain cleaning is something that's done routinely rather than just when something goes wrong. That means you don't just call someone because you have a clog and you don't get a cleaning because there's a leak. Instead, you would call up your plumber every few months or at least every year to get this type of cleaning done. Then, they would come out to your house and clean out all of the pipes. This is an important step because it actually helps you to prevent some of the major problems that could occur in your home if you're not careful. When you do drain cleaning, you're getting rid of everything in the drains that isn't supposed to be there. So, if there's dirt and debris in there it's going to get swept out. If there's a clog forming it's going to be broken apart and removed. If there's anything else going on in the drains you're going to know about it. So, if there's a crack that's starting or if there are roots coming through the lines you're going to find out about all of those things and you're going to be getting rid of them too. The plumber that you hire for your drain cleaning can take care of everything right away. They can make sure that you have completely clean and clear drains by the time they leave because they can actually see everything that's happening. They can use a video camera in the drains if necessary to see where a problem might exist and to take care of those clogs that can get in your way or even to recognize that roots are coming in somewhere in the sewer line. All of these things are very important. When you get regular drain cleaning you aren't going to have those big emergencies, or at least you're far less likely to have them. That's because the plumber that you bring in will be able to clear out the problem before it even actually becomes a problem. You won't notice a difference in the way that your drains work because by the time it's cleaned up it hasn't had a chance to get that bad yet. That's definitely going to be a benefit to you because you don't have to worry about dealing with an actual emergency. When you let your lines get clogged or you wait too long to get drain cleaning and you end up with a leak you're going to have an emergency that you have to get taken care of much faster. You're going to have the hassle and the nuisance of having to deal with the problem too. After all, you have to deal with low water pressure or no water or leaking water and the mess it leaves all over your home. All of those things are annoying just on their own, never mind the fact that you now have to call a plumber to your home. Once you do that you're going to have to pay for the emergency service. Now, depending on who you call you may or may not have to pay additional fees because of the emergency and the fact that you need someone immediately but you will have to pay in general. You'll be paying to repair a leaking pipe or to clear a clogged drain at the very least. But if you had brought someone in for regular drain cleaning you wouldn't have had that problem in the first place. That's definitely going to save you some money in the long run. When you have to call someone in to take care of individual jobs you're going to be paying for each one every time. So, if you have a clog in the kitchen and then one in the bathroom you're going to be calling for two separate trips. What's even worse is that a clog that's not taken care of properly or that's not cleared out all the way through could just come back again. That's why it's important that you do call someone and don't try to take care of anything on your own. You could end up making it worse. If you get drain cleaning, however, you're going to have a professional to take care of things for you. Not only that but they're going to take care of all of the drains in your home at the same time. You pay one fee and you get everything cleared out so that you're starting over with clean and fresh drains again. That means you're going to have a lot longer before you might be in danger of a clog and if you schedule your next drain cleaning you'll be able to take care of things before that's a problem as well. Make sure that you're calling bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of Charlotte, NC to come take care of your home.
