If you experience a burst pipe, immediately turn off your water supply and shut off electricity if the pipe is near electrical outlets. Then, contact a plumbing company, such as Maverick Plumbing, for emergency repairs and use towels or buckets to contain the water until we arrive.

Common signs of a sewer line issue include slow or clogged drains, foul odors coming from drains or the yard, gurgling noises in the plumbing, and unexplained wet spots or patches of grass in your yard. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Maverick Plumbing so we can send a plumber out for an inspection as soon as possible.

We recommend having your drains cleaned once a year to prevent buildup and avoid clogs. However, if you experience frequent blockages or slow drains, it's a good idea to schedule a cleaning sooner to maintain optimal performance and prevent the need for a plumbing repair down the line.

According to Globe Newswire, traditional drain chemicals often contain harsh chemicals that might harm plumbing systems and human health. They also have the potential to cause damage over time and may not fully resolve clogs. It's safer to contact a plumber for professional drain cleaning to ensure effective and long-lasting results without risking harm to your plumbing system.

To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas, and keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate. Additionally, letting faucets drip during extreme cold and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures can help protect your pipes from freezing. This can prevent you from needing costly plumbing repairs.
