When it comes to safety modifications for the home, there are many things to consider. We can install the CARESSE+ system that includes devices to turn off stoves if left unattended, and monitor movement in the house. An alarm sends a signal to a monitoring center to provide help when a fall, change in any critical vital signs, fire, flood, or extreme temperatures occur.

Other means of making the home accessible also include adding fixtures to the plumbing that prevent scalding from excessively hot water or allow a tub or shower to be entered into more easily. If you are interested in improving the safety of your home for all the household members, not just those with mobility issues, contact us for more information on how we can help.

A home should be the most comfortable place you are in, even if you or a loved one has problems moving around. Rather than leaving that place of comfort, adapt it to lifestyle changes to make it safer and more accessible. If you would like to make your home more accessible and allow for in-home health care instead of a nursing home, contact us at General Plumbing, Inc. at 561-420-0442.

Filtered water has more benefits than most people are under the impression of. Not only does it improve the taste of water, the health benefits are so significant that it can potentially reduce the risk of cancer that stems from water contaminants.

Some benefits of a whole-house water filter include:

- Removing lead directly before consumption

- Water filters offer a more cost efficient option over bottled water

- Reducing the risk of digestive cancers such as colon cancer by removing chlorine and its byproducts

- Providing healthy water for cooking and cleaning just from the tap.

- Pure, filtered drinking water yields healthier water for children and their developing immune systems

- Protecting the body from at least 2100 known toxins that may be in drinking water

1.) Take the Lid Off

When investigating a toilet that runs, you should always take the lid off of the tank; inside, you’ll generally find the problem. Most tanks work using a variety of standard components, including flappers, floats, valves and overflow tubes. With most toilets that run, there is generally a problem with at least one of these components, but you may also be facing a variety of problems from a variety of components.

2.) Check the Flapper

Your toilet’s flapper is the mechanism that either seals off the tank from the bowl or allows water to enter the bowl upon flushing. Flappers can become worn or misaligned, leading to a running toilet. Essentially, if you have a worn or misaligned flapper, your toilet will be fooled into think that it is in a constant state of flushing, leading to the need for essential toilet repairs. Make adjustments as necessary, ensuring that the flapper seals against the base of the tank after flushing and that it opens properly upon flushing.

3.) Check the Valve

The valve located inside of your toilet’s tank basically tells the toilet when to stop running. If the valve is not adjusted correctly, it may not allow your toilet’s tank to fill to the correct level, leading to constant running. In order to determine if you have a problem with your toilet’s valve, inspect the inside of the toilet for the proper waterline. You may also need to consult your toilet’s manual to determine the proper valve setting for reaching the optimum amount of water in your toilet’s tank.

If you’ve tried the above steps and are still facing a toilet that runs, or if you’re seeking plumbing repair or the general services of a plumber in West Palm Beach, please give General Plumbing, Inc. a call today at 561-420-0442.

Homes that have a kitchen sink facing the outside wall are more susceptible to freezing and precautions need to be taken when the first freeze arrives. Newer houses have plumbing brought up through the ground and in to the bottom of the cabinet while older homes often have pipes visible on the outside wall of the house. Watch the weather forecast as the temperature falls and it gets later in November and December. Open your cabinet doors below your sink during the first few winter freezes and allow the warmer air to pass over the pipes and water lines. Also, it may be beneficial to place a space heater outside your cabinet to ensure warm airflow over your plumbing.

Outside pipes and faucets are also a concern. Outside garden hoses are commonly left attached to outdoor faucets. The winter temperatures will freeze the garden hose which will in turn freeze the spigot or faucet. Removing your garden hose before it starts to freeze is a simple preventative measure that can help keep faucets working. You can always have an isolation valve installed from your West Palm Beach FL plumbing company so that the water can be shut off from the inside. Even with isolation valves you still need to drain the faucet of any excess or stored water it might have from pressure.

Many store bought drain cleaners will only temporarily prevent drain clogs and for heavy buildup, often can’t handle the job. Your West Palm Beach plumber, General Plumbing, will use professional services like drain snaking, hydro jetting, and video camera inspection to find the root cause of your clogged drain. Clogged drains can become worse over time, often due to material buildup that continues to collect, so it is essential that you relieve these issues as soon as you notice water buildup.

One of the most common causes of household drain clogs is grease, soap, and hair buildup.

These unwanted items cause major backups more quickly and need to be addressed as soon as possible. With years of experience, General Plumbing is your West Palm Beach drain cleaning service of choice. Emergency drain cleaning service, available 24 hours a day, is just a phone call away.

Drain snaking is one of the most common and effective approaches to clearing clogged drains.

Video camera inspection can pinpoint the cause of a clogged drain with state-of-the-art cameras fed down the drain line to the source of the buildup. Video camera inspections can also confirm a drain is cleared after using other methods of unclogging the drain.
