How To Choose The Best Emergency Plumbing Solutions

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you needed emergency plumbing, then you understand just how serious of an issue it can be. Unfortunately, it is not always guaranteed that you will get the best emergency plumbing solutions after calling. Therefore, Marvel Plumbing and Drainage in Burnaby decided to write on what to look for when choosing quality emergency plumbing solutions because we understand the plight of our clients.  Time As with all emergencies, time is always a sensitive factor. Since you don’t get to choose when you need emergency plumbing solutions, then it goes without saying that having access to them 24/7 is the best option. The plumbing services need to be accessible to you even at the most inconvenient of times. Additionally, it is equally important to consider the response time. How long does it take to get your call through and explain your issue? How long does it take for the emergency plumbing service people to get to you? Such are the questions we at Marvel Plumbing and Drainage in Burnaby hope clients could ask themselves as they choose their emergency plumbing solutions.  Cost It is true that emergency plumbing solutions are more costly than normal plumbing services. However, it is quite unfortunate that some plumbers take advantage of the situation to set unreasonable prices. Marvel Plumbing and Drainage in Burnaby believes in the concept of fairness. That’s why we advise our clients to consider the cost of the services before they decide to make the call. You should look through a number of emergency plumbing services in your region to compare the prices and choose one that offers the best value at the most affordable price.  Customer Service When you are stressed out by a plumbing issue, the last thing you need to deal with is rude customer service. Considering the severity of the situation, you would need a customer service agent who can ask [...]

5 Must-Know Drain Maintenance Tips

Making sure that your drainage is always in a spick-and-span condition is a great way to keep your plumbing system functioning without a hitch. After all, if you neglect them, your drains will get blocked, forcing you to call Marvel Plumbing And Drainage in Burnaby every so often. More importantly, it pays to know what usually causes your drains to become clogged, as well as understand the steps that you need to take to avoid drain blockage in the first place. That’s why we have put together the following 5 tried-and-true drain maintenance tips. Tip #1. Food Particles are Bad News for your Drain System The first step to an effective drain maintenance is to know what’s not supposed to go into the drainage pipes. Perhaps the biggest culprit is food waste. The odds are that you dump your food leftovers, cuttings, spoilt food and other particles down the drain. That’s a big no-no because they’re bad news for the drainage pipes and can cause a major clog. (Of course, if you suspect that your drainage system is already blocked, don’t hesitate to call Marvel Plumbing And Drainage in Burnaby). We promise to show up on time and get the job done right the first time. So, what doesn’t go down the drain? Coffee grounds - ground coffee tends to be sticky, forming a nasty paste inside the pipes. Eggshells - they are prone to adhering to other drainage waste, growing into bulkier clogs. Unused meds - these not only cause your drains to back up but can also end up in the underground water system. The list goes on and on. The bottom line is that if something isn’t soluble, don’t let it go down the drain. Tip #2. Compost Food Leftovers Again, food scraps/leftovers are never good for the drainage system. They cake up forming huge clogs that can turn into a plumbing nightmare. Instead of damaging your [...]
