Concerns about your sewer backing up and flooding are realistic. There are things to consider when you think you may have a blockage or issue.

When to Call The City or a Private Company?

The city you live in is responsible for the connection from the city’s main sewer line in connection with you homes sewer access. When repair work is needed on your homes individual sewer line up to the city’s, this is the point when you would call a private plumber. In these cases, a technician can do a scope of your pipes, see where the issue lies and what steps to take moving forward.

What is the issue? Where is the blockage?

There can be a number of issues with backing up or flooding of your pipes including root intrusions, cracks and corrosion, clogs of hair or other solid materials. In this case it is best to get a sewer scope done, which can run a live camera from your home through the sewer pipe to see any possible issues that need to be assessed. If blockage is not taken care of in a timely matter the back up can cause flooding within your home as well as foul smells, damage to property and other issues.

At Harts Services we can perform rooter services i.e snaking drains, pressure cleaning, camera scoping and unclogging, side Sewer contracting, i.e. repairing and or replacing pipes with breaks, holes or damage, and fix a leak or broken fixture within or surrounding home due to piping and/or sewer issues.

We are open for emergency service 24/7! If you have a concern about your sewer lines, water pipes, or any other plumbing concerns don’t hesitate to call us at Harts Services!

Sewer Back Ups & Flooding

Cold Temperatures Harsh Effects on Residential and Commercial Plumbing Systems.

Frozen water pipes are among the most common plumbing problems we see this time of year. When water freezes, it expands causing pipes to burst. Once the weather turns, water in the pipes melt leaving fissures and cracks where water can leak, thereby producing major damage. Damage to carpets, drywall, furniture, electrical wiring, floor joints, as well growth of mold and mildew can cause big dollar repairs to home and business owners.

Water Pipes in attics, basements, running through non-insulated walls, as well as pipes located on the exterior of buildings are at the greatest risk. Here are a couple things that you can do to help prevent pipes from freezing:

 during the coldest days/nights can help to prevent blockages from cropping up.

 to walls, attics, and basements can help prevent freezing.

If you have pipes that are frozen but not burst yet, 

 from your local hardware store can thaw blockages and prevent bursting.

If your pipe has burst, or you are experiencing blockage of your water line turn your water off at the meter and call Harts Services now! We will get a certified technician out to diagnose the problem before it turns into a major repair. We can also inspect your plumbing today, before any issues arise to help create a mitigation plan to prevent future problems from occurring before they do.

Winter Pipe Precautions

With the holidays quickly approaching, we all have stresses that aren’t always easily taken care of. How about the stresses of your home or business plumbing and sewer system?

Home and business owners in Tacoma regularly overlook plumbing and sewer issues until they reach a critical point. During the Holidays when we have family over pushing our plumbing systems to the max, is when a lot of issues arise. Blockages in sewer lines due to deteriorating side lateral sewers and root intrusion are among some of the major issue we see this time of year.

City of Tacoma Offers Loan for Sewer Repairs

Thankfully, the City of Tacoma has implemented a groundbreaking loan program to help ease the financial burden, which could help save some families’ Christmas this year if you do end up with a major sewer issue.

Never before in history has the City of Tacoma offered a loan program strictly to benefit the costs of repairing/ replacing of sewage lines, UNTIL NOW. With an incredibly low interest rate of two percent 

 the prime, Tacoma residents can get up to a $10,000 loan for work on sewer lines. Commercial properties can take part in the sewer conservation loan program, which is up to $100,000!

Here at Harts Services we want to make everything as easy and quick as possible! Give us a call, we will be happy to send out a certified technician to inspect your sewer line with our video equipment and give you a diagnosis of the situation.

Water Heaters can be not only a blessing, but also a danger.

Here are a few things to be aware of regarding the water heater in your residence or commercial building.

Steam coming from a faucet in the off position.

 If this happens immediately shut off the electric or gas valve on the water heater, then call a certified technician to asses the problem.

 Make sure you have a T/P valve easily legible on your water heater to prevent dangerous temperatures and over pressure. (Temperatures should be 104-120 degrees Fahrenheit

 If you think there is a leak in the tank, stop using the tank and shut off any heat source, then call a trained technician. The technician can decipher if it is something that can be rebuilt or if a new unit is required.

Harts Services is open for emergency service 24/7! If you have a concern about your water heater, sewer lines, water pipes, or any other plumbing issues don’t hesitate to call us at (253) 331-1206.
