A dream kitchen starts with design, adds in functionality, and finishes with fixtures. A shallow sink with a swan-neck pull-out faucet splashing dirty water on counters or clothes makes for a not-so-dreamy kitchen.

When a clogged sink happens, don’t head straight for the chemical drain cleaners. Drain cleaners may eat through pipes leading to more costly fixes in the long term.

Keeping the air in a home as clean as possible is essential to good health and comfort.

While water heaters can last for more than 10 years, they can become less efficient over time or fail if no maintenance is performed.

Drain traps in plumbing refer to the curved piece of a pipe located below or within a fixture. In residential plumbing, these traps are either U, S, Q, or J shaped.

Sometimes, sewer line repairs require digging through a large section of a homeowner's yard to reach the pipeline.

A clogged drain, an overflowing toilet, leaking faucets, and broken garbage disposal are the last things you would want to deal with while enjoying the upcoming holiday season with family and friends.

When it comes to plumbing issues, you might be tempted to try to resolve them personally.
