I’m Sure Glad that the Sewer Backed Up Now.

Say what?  Nobody should be glad about that event on their property, but when it happens in the summer it is easier to troubleshoot than in the winter when the ground is frozen.  Of course, there is no good time to find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having a sewer line clog in your home, but there are times when clogs are more likely to develop.

What causes sewer line problems in the Summer?

1.  Increased usage…everyone has been home during summer vacation.

2.  A sudden severe storm…we know all about that in Central Illinois.

3.  Invasive tree roots…trees are growing at a faster rate in the summer.

Summertime may be when the living is easy as the saying goes, but it is also a more likely time to suffer sewer problems on your property.  At the first sign, call Dave Bailey of Dave Bailey Plumbing.  He and his crew serve the plumbing and sewer back-up problems of residents in Morton, East Peoria, and Pekin.  Call Dave at (309) 265-6788.

Into Each Life a Little Rain Must Fall.

Anyone who has lived in Central Illinois for any length of time knows that mid-summer can be a wet and wild time weather-wise.  July is often a particularly rainy time with frequent thunderstorms dotting the calendar.  This is the time of year when your sump pump needs to be in tip-top condition and ready for potential flooding.

We generally install sump pumps around the lowest area of your basement.  This prevents flooding and keeps the lower part of your home nice and dry.  Now, if it is after the fact, and your basement has been flooded you need a real plumbing pro to fix it.  We hope you don’t reach that point!

Whether or not your current sump pump is broken, or you need a brand new one, we are the answer!  Call us at Dave Bailey Plumbing for not just your sump pump needs, but ALL of your plumbing problems be they emergencies or not.  We are Dave Bailey Plumbing serving Morton, East Peoria, Pekin, and the surrounding area.  Give us a call at (309) 265-6788.

1.  Good old dish soap and hot water

2.  Using a wire coat hanger
