The average New Yorker isn't properly equipped or interested in fixing something that requires a professional plumber's personal touch. Locally owned and operated, A Plus Sewer Service in Goshen, NY, has been providing quality plumbing, septic, and sewer services throughout Orange County and Southern Sullivan County for more than 20 years. They understand that while full plumbing repairs are best left in the hands of a professional, everyday plumbing maintenance can make a big difference.

Here are a few maintenance tasks that anyone can do at home to prevent plumbing disasters:

• Use A Drain Strainer: Although chemical cleaners make drain unclogging fairly simple, depending on how often you use them, their causticity can ultimately damage your drain pipes. Using a drain strainer will catch anything that can clog up the pipe, thereby eliminating the need to resort to a chemical cleaner. However, should you need it, A Plus Sewer Service can do drain unclogging safely without harming your drain pipes.

• Clear Mineral Deposits: Mineral deposits can accumulate on the aerator screens of your faucets and shower heads, leading to low water pressure or an uneven spray. These can still easily be cleaned using everyday household products though. Fill a plastic bag with vinegar, tie it to the faucet or shower head with a rubber band, and let soak. This should break up what has accumulated.
• Regular Septic Tank Maintenance Service: Scheduling routine septic cleaning and pumping is a necessity. All the waste water from your home collects in your septic tank, and you don't want to let that go without being cleaned for too long. Septic cleaning and pumping need to be handled by professionals. One call to A Plus Sewer Service is all it takes to avoid a catastrophe. For most homes, septic tanks should be cleaned and pumped every other year, however, this may differ depending on the circumstances.

Regardless, no matter how many preventative plumbing maintenance measures you take, accidents can happen. Luckily, A Plus Sewer Service offers 24-hour emergency services as well, so they can be there whenever you need them. Visit the website for more information, or call today at (845) 294-6103.
