Harts Services Shares Tips on How to Prep Your Tacoma Home for Vacation

Tacoma plumbing company offers homeowners ways to keep their homes safe during summer travels

 – June 28, 2018 – Harts Services, a top-rated Tacoma plumbing company with a 4.9 review rating on Google, is offering tips to homeowners on how they can vacation-prep their homes before embarking on summer travels and avoid an unpleasant homecoming upon their return.

“When you’re away from your home for more than a couple of days, such as on a summer vacation, there are some precautions you should take to make sure you don’t come home to a plumbing disaster,” said Rich Hart, co-owner of Harts Services. “The last thing any homeowner wants is to come home from a relaxing trip to extensive water damage, high utility bills and thousands of dollars of needed repairs.”

Hart is offering the following tips to prepare a home prior to leaving for a trip to the beach, mountains, amusement park or other destination:

 – There is no need to heat water in an empty home. A lot of homeowners don’t realize their water heater may have a vacation mode for this very purpose. Prior to leaving, adjust the water heater to vacation mode. If the water heater does not have a vacation mode, turn the temperature down. This will save a significant amount of money on utility bills.

Turn off the water while you’re away –

 The last thing you want is to come home to a high bill due to a leak, or worse, flooding. If there’s an emergency water shutoff valve in a convenient location, that can be used to turn off the water supply. If not, special tools can be inexpensively purchased and used to shut the water off at the water meter, usually in the yard close to the road. The last thing anyone needs is a water pipe leaking dozens or hundreds of gallons of water every day while they’re away.

 Garbage disposals can be a great tool for cleaning up. They can also store nasty odors and bits of food that attract pests. Homemade remedies to flush this out can include warm water, vinegar and/or baking soda. Flushing the garbage disposal before departure means no smelly surprises are waiting for your return.

 – Water left inactive in the toilet can produce a foul odor and a difficult to remove ring that forms around the toilet bowl. To prevent this, place ½ cup of bleach in the toilet bowl just before leaving home.

We Love Our Customers, and They Love Us

Although most of us imagine PVC or metal pipes running and under throughout our homes, the truth is many homeowners probably have clay pipes for their sewer lines and other drainage systems. There are a few advantages to clay pipework systems, including the relative ease of repairs with the right equipment and know-how.

If you want to try to repair a broken clay sewer pipe in your property, here is a quick breakdown of what to do:

Gather your tools, which should include two rubber seal couplings, a grinder or grinding saw, and an appropriate length of replacement pipe to replace the damaged section. Be sure to confirm the replacement pipework has the same interior diameter as the preexisting clay pipe.

Use the grinder to cut away any broken edges of the clay pipe. Always wear all necessary safety equipment, like gloves and goggles, when handling a power tool. Never attempt to use a power tool without proper training or instruction. Do not do anything that jeopardizes your health and wellbeing.

Attach the rubber seal couplings over each end of the now-smoothened clay pipe.

Make any cuts to your replacement pipe to get it to the right length. Remember: measure twice, cut once. Sanding the edges of the replacement pipe is also helpful.

Carefully insert the replacement pipe into the rubber seal couplings. Do not use too much force, as you could potentially bend, chip, or break the clay pipe again. If it is not fitting, it is probably not the right length.

Tighten the couplings until each firmly hold onto the new pipe. Any amount of wiggle is too much.

Refill the hole in the ground – assuming the broken clay pipe was underground – with the appropriate soil or filler, such as small pea shingle or sand.

Professional Help for Intimidating Plumbing Projects

Do not forget that the first rule for working on or repairing your plumbing is never to attempt a plumbing job you are not confident you can complete correctly. Trying to fix your clay sewer line can become a nightmare if you make the situation worse. Depending on what section of the pipe needs a repair, you could potentially make a blunder and cause sewage to leak into the surrounding soil, creating a foul smell and requiring even more plumbing work.

When in doubt, leave your clay pipework repairs to Hart Services. Our Tacoma plumbing company is backed by positive community and client reviews, offers competitive pricing, and is staffed by the friendliest service technicians around. Call

I was so happy to finally get my faucets outside my house fixed. Anytime I turned them on they dripped, dripped, dripped. Now I have frost free hose bibs and no drips! Thanks Harts!

Harts Services is a very professional company. We called because our sewer was backing up into our home and they had someone at our house within the hour.

Fast service, excellent follow-up, and Tim who performed the service was excellent and easy to work with. Will definitely use again if needed.
