Gas Line Replacement

Last month we had an emergency call from a client in Santa Barbara whose gas was shut off by the gas company due to a gas leak underground.

We showed up promptly and recommended to replace the line from the meter to the house with polyethylene piping since the existing metal gas line was over 60 years old and leaking in patches underground. We retrieved the necessary permits needed from the city of Santa Barbara and got to work.

Santa Barbara homeowners need to keep in mind that carbon monoxide and smoke detector combinations are required to be placed in bedrooms.

Drain Cleaning Tips

We all know the stress that comes with a clogged drain in the kitchen or bathroom. The Santa Barbara drain clogging puts a damper on your day to day and gets us scrambling to find a reliable Santa Barbara plumber in the nick of time. Here are some prevention tips to help your drains from clogging.

1. Mix baking soda with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and pour down the drains with hot water.

2. Do not put any food scraps or grease down the kitchen drain, even if you have a garbage disposal. These contents will join together down your drain and cause a clog.

3. Every 2 months insert at least a 20ft snake cable down your drain to clean out any debris, hairs, and gunk.
