Septic tank service Barrie, Muskoka, Orillia, Huntsville

If you’re septic tank is clogged, Drain Rescue can offer you a step-by-step solution on how to solve your septic tank problems:

STEP 1:

Call a septic tank professional to come to your home and identify the problem. This job is too big for a homeowner, and requires the services of a plumbing and drainage professional. The problem is likely a septic tank blockage;

STEP 2:

Have the plumber use a special bacteria (or enzyme) that will clear the blockage. Essentially the chemical eats through the bacteria and clears the blockage;

STEP 3:

The bacteria will take between three and four weeks to clear the blockage. In the meantime, be careful what you flush into your system;

If you follow those steps, and know when to enlist the help of a professional septic tank cleaner, your septic tank problems will quickly become a thing of the past.

PLUMBING ICONS: SUPER MARIO AND LUIGI

Super Mario is a plumber

Seeing it’s the holidays, we thought we would post a fun article.

Today we would like to pay homage to an icon of the plumbing industry. A man whose contribution to plumbing rivals that of “Joe the Plumber”. We want to pay homage to Super Mario, and what he has done for our industry.

I’m sure many of you remember when the “Mario Brothers” first video game came out back in 1983. It was created by Shigeru Miyamoto, who is widely credited as being the Walt Disney of video game development (his other credits include “Donkey Kong”, “Zelda”, “Star Fox” and “Wii Music”).  The Super Mario video game was instrumental in resurrecting the video game industry from the “gaming crash” of 1982; and catapulting Nintendo to the top of the gaming world. Furthermore, it was one of the first video games that actually had a narrative behind it. Not only did the gamer have a mission, but he/she took on the persona of Mario (or Luigi), the plumber.

There are many plumbing references throughout the Mario franchise. For instance, there are constant pipe and tree root graphics throughout all of the games. As well, the back story has Mario and his brother Luigi owning Mario Brothers Plumbing which is located in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn.

Some of the Mario Brothers Plumbing taglines are:

“You clog ‘em, we clear ‘em” and they were said to be New York City’s best plumbing service”

“The customer is always wet.”

Super Mario is an icon of the plumbing industry because it shows plumbers in a positive light (and cartoonishly superhero way). The Mario franchise has sold over 41 million copies worldwide, and propelled plumbers (and what we do) into the subconscious of a younger generation. This is important, because plumbers are not always portrayed in the best light by the media. How often do you see a television show that glorifies the work of a plumber like they do doctors, lawyers, and police officers? Although Super Mario Bros. is a completely different medium, it still has a massive reach, and has portrayed plumbing as a noble profession.

And that’s why we think Mario is an icon of the plumbing industry.

The customer commented:

Dwayne was very informative and helpful with identifying the problem. Dwayne assigned Vasyl to complete the work – he was exceptional and took great pride in his work. He explained how the drainage system works and what we need to do to maintain it. I have complete confidence in the quality of work.

She also rated her “Drain Rescue Experience” as being a 5/5.

At Drain Rescue we take customer service very seriously.

We take our Service Evaluations very seriously, and we show all of our technicians the reviews they receive from customers.

THANKSGIVING: YOUR LOCAL PLUMBER IS NOT INVITED

No Plumber this Thanksgiving

To all of our American friends, we want to make sure your local plumber isn’t a house guest at this Thanksgiving gathering.

Here are a few preventative plumbing measures to ensure flawless drainage and plumbing at your Thanksgiving gathering:

1) Don’t overload your dishwasher

2) Don’t throw excessive amounts of food down the garbage disposal. It can clog the drainage and cause a back-up;

3) Dispose of grease separately. If you have a pan of grease DO NOT throw it down the drain because it hardens and will cause your drain to drain slowly and eventually back-up;

Follow these three easy-steps and your local plumber won’t be a dinner guest this Thanksgiving.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SINK DRAIN AND PREVENT CLOGGING

Sink Drain Clog Prevention

The best kind of plumbing is Preventative Plumbing. You need to be able to stop plumbing problems before they start. So many people fnd themselves needing to make emergency plumbing repairs when they could prevent them all together with a little preventative maintenance.

One of the most common questions our plumbers receive is: How Do I Prevent My Sink Drain from Clogging?

The answer to that question is simple, all you need to do is follow a few key steps:

1) HOT WATER: Run the hot water tap down the drain every day. This should eliminate any smells or clogging issues that may be building within the drain;

2) BAKING SODA: Put baking soda down the drain and follow that with a teaspoon of lemon juice…do this twice a week (Monday and Fridays);

3) ENZYMES: if your sink drain is really draining slowly we suggest pouring enzymes down your drain once a month, and this will help to fully cleanse the drain of all build-up and bacteria. If you want to buy enzymes, we suggest you give Drain Rescue a call.

The above-mentioned methods are all sure-fire ways to maintain your drains and prevent blockages.

HOMESTARS.COM IS A GREAT SERVICE FOR CONSUMERS

Drain Rescue Homestars.com

We just got a call from our Homestars.com representative. She asked us if we wanted to renew our subscription for 2010.

Our answer: Of course we want to renew!

When Homestars.com originally approached us we had no clue who (or what) they were. However, over the course of the last year Homestars.com has positioned itself as being the preeminent trade-based consumer review website.

At first we were skeptical, but we quickly saw the value of Homestars as it became the #1 online reference for customers researching prospective companies. Homestars is important to Drain Rescue because it shows both sides of a given transaction and it does so fairly and without bias towards a particular party.

In our opinion, Homestars.com is the most relevant trade-based consumer website on the Internet.
