- [To Pump or Not to Pump with septic backups](https://plumbperfect.ca/to-pump-or-not-to-pump-with-septic-backups/): Your septic system is your own personal wastewater treatment system. It is also a living ecosystem. Sadly, not many people know how a septic system really works or how to care for it. The most common mistake people make is to immediately look for a septic pumper if they are experiencing a backup in their home.
- [Top 7 Spring Plumbing Tips](https://plumbperfect.ca/top-7-spring-plumbing-tips/): After a rainy spring so far, we thought it would be a good time to revisit one of our older blogs.  Here again are our top 7 spring tips:
- [A Chill is in The Air](https://plumbperfect.ca/a-chill-is-in-the-air-2/): What a beautiful summer we had.  It may have started late but it made up for it with near perfect days.  Whether or not you’re looking forward to cooler temperatures, changing leaves and unpredictable schedules, fall reminds us that winter is coming.  So as you trade those summer shorts for warm sweaters, make sure your home is prepared for the change of season too.
- [It’s Spring!](https://plumbperfect.ca/its-spring-2/): Amidst another lockdown, nature continues as it has it has since the beginning of time.  Too much rain, too little rain, high winds, unexpected snow or glorious days full of the promise of summer.  That is what is called spring here in Ontario.
- [The Rainy Season](https://plumbperfect.ca/its-sump-pump-season/): It’s been an unusually challenging spring for everyone this year.  The Covid-19 virus took us all by surprise.  It's been so difficult and even heartbreaking for people having to deal with the loss of a job or a loved one, fear, frustration and anxiety on a daily basis.
- [Plumb Perfect and You](https://plumbperfect.ca/plumb-perfect-and-you/): As of May 19th, many companies have been allowed to open their doors again with more to follow at a later date.  As people head back to work, there is an air of anticipation but also of some fear.  No one knows just how this “new normal” will affect their day to day lives and how many adjustments will have to be made.
- [We are here for you](https://plumbperfect.ca/we-are-here-for-you/): Every time you turn on the news, the radio or go online, you can't escape hearing or reading about the coronavirus; it's everywhere.  We know from health officials that the coronavirus can be spread three main ways:
- [Back to School](https://plumbperfect.ca/back-to-school/): We are as excited the kids are going back to school as they are dreading it!  Going back to school is a relief but can also be stressful.  Getting back into routines, making lunches, keeping track of extracurricular activities and so on can take a toll on everyone. Here are some tips for your family to get back into the swing of things:
- [The Good Ol’ Summertime!](https://plumbperfect.ca/good-ol-summertime/): Yes, hot, hot HOT weather is here and we are loving it!  Unfortunately, so do our trees.  Summer is the time of rapid root growth for trees as they search for water and nutrients and can infiltrate your sewer or septic line.
- [Spring… FINALLY!](https://plumbperfect.ca/spring-finally/): After a long, stormy winter spring has arrived!
- [Ah… the Canadian Winter…](https://plumbperfect.ca/ah-canadian-winter/): So far it's been a roller coaster ride when it comes to our weather this winter.  First warm and sunny, then a little snow, then lots of snow, then windy & cold, freezing cold, and then bone-chilling, don't wanna go outside cold!  The kind of cold where your breath freezes in the air.  And sadly, we received lots of calls for frozen and burst pipes that kept us busy.  What will Mother Nature throw at us next?  Rain, of course!  Just enough to quickly melt the snow and refreeze the next day, making our lives miserable and travel treacherous.
- [It’s That Time of Year Again!](https://plumbperfect.ca/its-that-time-of-year-again/): Yes, it's fall again.  Time to prepare for winter and to prevent what is our most common winter plumbing service call from happening to your family - frozen outside taps.
- [Keeping Hallowe’en Safe for Everyone](https://plumbperfect.ca/keeping-halloween-safe-everyone/): Hallowe'en is one of the most fun times of the year for kids (& many adults!). Here are 7 "trick or treat" tips to keep everyone safe:
- [NOW we get summer weather!](https://plumbperfect.ca/now-get-summer-weather/): Who would have thought that a heat warning would be issued in Southern Ontario on the first day of fall?!  Especially after the wet summer we had!  Yet here it is.  Expected to reach temperatures in the 40's with humidity this coming weekend.You will want to keep cool and hydrated the next couple of days.  Enjoy the beach or your swimming pools like you never really could this summer.  For those of you relying on well water, you might want to take it easy on filling pools since we haven't really had much rain in a while.  (Although I think you might be okay considering the record amount of rainfall we experienced this summer!)
- [The Summer of 2017](https://plumbperfect.ca/the-summer-of-2017/): The summer of 2017 won't soon be forgotten by many of us.  During our cold, wet spring we patiently waited for summer to arrive.  We anticipated enjoying long, hot summer day activities.
- [It’s Spring!](https://plumbperfect.ca/its-spring/): Ahh.. spring!  No more snow (we hope!), warmer weather, longer days and happy birds.  We all feel rejuvenated and look forward to those long, hot, beautiful summer days.  But with the warmer days of spring also come the rains.  Now is the time to service your septic or check your sump pump before the rains come, not after.
- [Don’t flush your money away](https://plumbperfect.ca/dont-flush-money-away/): On average, toilets make up approximately 30% of a home's water usage.  And that doesn't count any toilets that are leaking or running on.  While you're reading this, about 20% of all toilets in homes are silently leaking, costing homeowners money.  Do you have a toilet that runs on, flushes on its own or doesn't flush well?  Do you have to jiggle the handle to make the noise stop?  If so, you could be flushing away more money each month than it would cost to fix it.
- [Trendy DIY Plumbing Decor](https://plumbperfect.ca/trendy-diy-plumbing-decor/): Plumbing Decor?  I know, plumbing is not what you think of when shopping for home décor but your local store’s plumbing department has a lot to offer.  You can design and create your own unique art and functional items that will be the envy of everyone entering your home.  Here are just a few ideas:
- [Drought and Your Well Water](https://plumbperfect.ca/drought-well-water/): First we had a difficult spring with ice storms and snowstorms and now we’re being hit with hot, dry weather.  Sure, at first it was great… endless sunny days, easy to plan outdoor activities, but enough is enough.  We need rain!  So far, this is the hottest and driest spring/summer since 1959 and if it continues, may become the worst drought on record for our area.
- [Doesn’t it Feel Good to be a Treehugger?](https://plumbperfect.ca/earth-day-april-22nd/): Earth Day - April 22nd
- [April Showers Bring… Flooding?](https://plumbperfect.ca/april-showers-bring-flooding/): Weather specialists are predicting more severe weather this year and the years to come.  Are you prepared for the next big storm?
- [MyFM Radio Ads](https://plumbperfect.ca/myfm-radio-ads/): We're proud to be part of such a warm community and love to give back in any way we can.  From monetary donations to local charities, food drives, cleaning garbage off our roads or simply offering advice, we just love to help.
- [5 Warning Signs of a Clogged Drain](https://plumbperfect.ca/5-warning-signs-clogged-drain/): Most homeowners know that their residential sewer line transports waste water from their home to a main sewer line but give it little thought.  That is until it they have sewage coming up out of their drains!
- [Need Help Upgrading for Loved Ones?](https://plumbperfect.ca/562-2/): As Baby Boomers get older, they may need to upgrade their homes to make their lives easier... and safer.   Sometimes family members help out by caring for their aging parents in their own homes and may need to renovate or upgrade some parts of their home to accommodate them.   Or perhaps an illness or disease limits a loved one in their own home.  There are many ways to make a home suit your needs from full renovations to simply adding safety devices.
- [Sharing the Joy and Spirit of the Season](https://plumbperfect.ca/sharing-joy-spirit-season/): Holidays are a time for family and for giving.  As we relive our best memories and create precious new ones, let’s not forget to help others create happy, lasting memories too.
- [Top 6 Winter Plumbing Tips](https://plumbperfect.ca/top-6-winter-plumbing-tips/): When the temperature drops, water freezes and expands which can cause serious problems for many homeowners.  Damage from burst pipes can cost thousands of dollars due to flooding, water damage and repairs.  Depending on your insurance policy, some of that may not even be covered.
- [Easy as 1 2 3 – Prepare Taps for Winter](https://plumbperfect.ca/easy-1-2-3-prepare-taps-winter/): Throughout winter and spring we are 'flooded' with calls due to burst pipes, mostly coming from improperly winterized outside taps called hosebibs.
- [All Plumbers Are NOT Alike…](https://plumbperfect.ca/plumbers-not-alike/): You see ads and hear radio commercials for different plumbers all of the time.  They all promise excellent services and fair prices, but how do you know that you can trust them?  How can you tell which ones will deliver on their promises and which will not?
- [‘Fall Back’ on Good Plumbing](https://plumbperfect.ca/fall-back-good-plumbing/): What a beautiful summer we had.  It may have started late but it made up for it with near perfect days.  Whether or not you’re looking forward to cooler temperatures, changing leaves and school schedules, fall reminds us that winter is coming.  So as you trade those summer shorts for warm sweaters, make sure your home is prepared for the change of season too.
- [Signs of Hot Water Heater Trouble](https://plumbperfect.ca/signs-of-hot-water-heater-trouble/): When it comes to a hot water heater, regular maintenance is key to extending its life (See "Want to Keep Your Husband/Wife in Hot Water?"). Typically hot water tanks last about 10 – 16 years.  Servicing your hot water tank by changing the anode rod every 2-3 years (more often if high iron content) and flushing the tank every year can make a huge difference and greatly extend the life of your hot water tank. As for any signs of impending trouble, I have listed below a few things to watch for:
- [Drips, Leaks and Runs](https://plumbperfect.ca/drips-leaks-runs/): Just what are we talking about?  You guessed it; faucets, valves and toilets.
- [Want to keep your husband/wife in hot water?](https://plumbperfect.ca/want-keep-husband-hot-water/): Even though summer is now half over, we're all still out there enjoying the sunshine and all that this great season has to offer.  And I'm sure you're not sitting around wondering how your hot water heater is doing.  Up until summer, your hot water heater had fewer demands placed on it.  Now that summer is here, your hot water heater has been working harder... more showers, more company and usually more clothes and dishes need to be washed, too.
- [Getting to the Root Cause](https://plumbperfect.ca/getting-root-cause/): We are excited to share with you our second article on RootX in the Summer 2015 issue of In Our Space magazine.
- [“I Don’t Flush…”](https://plumbperfect.ca/i-dont-flush/): A new website has appeared on the horizon called idontflush.ca and is encouraging people not to flush.  Yes, you read it right.  They're telling people not to flush!  This website and campaign is supported by various organizations and individuals informing people of the hazards of flushing certain items down the toilet or drains.  Finally we plumbers are no longer alone in the battle to protect the public, our environment and our water!
- [Stay Tuned!](https://plumbperfect.ca/stay-tuned/): Plumb Perfect has been working hard to share our expertise! We have a number of articles coming out in several magazine publications. We will be posting versions of these articles online, but in the meantime look for them in;

- [Backwater Valves – Do You Need One?](https://plumbperfect.ca/backwater-valves-need-one/): There is nothing worse than losing personal belongings due to the sewer backing up into your home, not to mention the smell, mess and expense.  Sadly, many homeowners have experienced this firsthand.  During spring runoff and/or rainstorms, an excessive amount of water can enter the sewer system and cause flooding in homes.  Can this be prevented?  Yes.  If you live in an area that is prone to flooding or are in a low-lying area, a backwater valve would be a good idea so you won't have to worry about sewer back-ups.  Some cities even offer subsidies or rebates to have them installed so check with your local area.
