Did you know that keeping your outside drains (including your sewer) clear is just as important as keeping your inside drains and pipes clear? Having a blocked outside drain or sewer can only lead to a disaster for your entire indoor plumbing system.

It's a safe bet: if the average Chico homeowner were handed a blank check from their favorite home improvement center, he or she would redeem it for new wood floors.

More than any other home amenity, wood flooring conveys warmth, style and easy elegance and complements modern décor as surely as it does homes with traditional furnishings.

If your drains aren't properly taken care of you'll most likely experience quite a few clogs in the future. You might be able to fix most of them, but some will end up requiring a Chico Plumber to take care of it.

Two of the most popular locations to remodel in a home are the kitchen and bathroom. This is no surprise, since the kitchen is often the gathering place for friends and family and the bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house. If you are considering remodeling to get your dream kitchen or bathroom, you'll want to read on!

Calling a Chico plumber is always a good idea when you find big problems in your plumbing or you aren’t comfortable with fixing the problem on your own.

You may want to grab a calculator. But you'll probably get the idea even without it.

If you brushed your teeth this morning, you probably used 2 gallons of water. Afterward, if you took a shower, you used as much as 5 gallons per minute (though nobody was timing you). Still, that's better than filling a bathtub, which requires about 36 gallons of water.

If you washed the dinner dishes by hand, you probably used between 8 and 27 gallons of water. This may sound like a lot because it is – and it's also why energy advocates recommend using the dishwasher instead. It uses only between 6 and 16 gallons.

Let’s face it, a leaky shower head is more than just a little annoying. The constant drip drip drip can be heard throughout the house and you’ve reached your limit. While you know you need to do something about it before you start to go crazy, you also know that you are not a plumber.

There are two main appliances within a home that are loved by everyone. The first one being the washer and dryer. Not only does it make everyone’s life easier by not having to leave the house to do laundry, but your clothes smell wonderful afterwards.
