Some slow leaks that are left unattended can cause your sheetrock to be destroyed, dampen your insulation and cause mold to grow, or soak your subfloor and cause dry rot. With plumbing repairs, often saving a few dollars today can cost you much more down the road. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish!

Uncategorized We’ve all done it – tried to cut corners to save a little money. But as the saying goes, that which is cheap becomes expensive. This is very true when it comes to home repairs. Take the time to investigate who you are hiring. Are they licensed? If not, the Construction Contractors Board will not help you if a dispute arises. Are they insured? A simple leak from faulty installment can lead to thousands of dollars of repair bills quickly. How are they going to pay to repair your sheetrock if they couldn’t afford insurance? Saving a couple of bucks on your plumbing repair is never worth it.

Troubleshooting,
Water Lines Winter is in full force here in Central Oregon, and your plumbing is at risk. If your pipes freeze and break, the repairs can be very costly. There are some things that you can do, though, to help protect your home before any damage happens. First, make sure that your home’s exterior foundation vent covers are on. This will hold in the heat and help protect the pipes under your home. Second, remove all hoses from your hose bibs. This will help keep your hose bibs from freezing and breaking. Finally, and most importantly, never turn the heat off to your home. If the pipes in your walls freeze in addition to the pipes under your home, your home could flood when the pipes thaw out which will be expensive and messy. Take some precautions this winter. You know what they say, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”!
