Freezing weather is here again! It's time to cover your outside faucets and prepare for winter before the severe weather hits! Do NOT flush antibacterial wipes! TL, DR - Experts tell us that we should only put two things down a toilet - human waste (of course) and toilet paper. NOTHING ELSE. Here's a helpful list to print out and post near your toilets. It may be Autumn but I'm getting a lot of planting catalogs in the mail, full of wonderful trees and bushes to plant for next spring's color. Just remember - there are certain plants that you do not want growing near your septic system and sewer pipes.

Your water service is defined as the pipe that runs from a potable water source (usually a municipal water source, or a private well) to your house. Because it's buried in the ground, we expect your water service to give you many years, if not decades, of trouble-free existance. Unfortunately, because it's buried in the ground, you may not have much warning when it fails. Sometimes the old pipe rots away or is broken by a swelling tree root. Other times it's just bad luck, when somebody digs a hole or installs a fence post in the wrong spot-Oops!
Plugged drains and sewers have been a problem for as long as they've existed, certainly more than 2000 years! Of course, proper care and maintenance can make such issues rare, but I doubt that we'll ever be able to prevent them totally. But all is not lost! With our professional grade equipment and skilled technicians Petersen Plumbing can locate and unclog your sewer or drain quickly! We have everything from small hand-snakes to a trailer-mounted jetter, and the cameras that let you see your sewer problem in Real-Time, from the inside out!
Traditionally, all sewers were replaced by trenching down to the pipe and replacing either just the failed section, or the entire line if it all looked bad. A few years ago new methods started appearing on the market, from pipe-lining-which lines the inside of your existing pipe with a new plastic surface, to pipe-bursting-which forces a bursting-head thru your old pipe, causing it to break into pieces as a new pipe is dragged along after the bursting head. Both pipe lining and pipe-bursting can work, but neither method will correct the problem if your old sewer had a sag, low spot, or a flat spot that allowed material to gather and clogs to form.
We carry the most common water heater sizes on our trucks and in our warehouse. And we have decades of experience in water heater diagnostics, repair, and replacement. We're repair specialists, we won't try to talk you into an expensive replacement when a simple repair will suffice! But if you need, or want, a new water heater, we've probably got just what you need in stock. The laws have changed a lot in the past couple years. New energy efficiency rules have changed the entire water heater manufacturing and design process, industry wide.
