Here’s a tip: plumbing doesn’t have to be complicated. Sure, when you encounter a difficult problem that requires a professional master plumber, you’re almost always better off making that call. But sometimes problems can border on being fixable by a homeowner or by a plumber. It’s up to our customers to be able to differentiate between a problem that’s able to be repaired with DIY strategies and one that requires a professional.
This blog post is dedicated to those few times when a repair might actually be fixable with the right tools on hand. From plungers, to drain snakes, and even household cleaners, you can make a pretty substantial improvement to your home’s drains and plumbing system.
But just remember–nothing replaces the real deal. If you encounter a particularly stubborn problem, you should always call our team of licensed plumbers. We are always able to help with bathroom plumbing in Cleves, OH, no matter the scale or solution!

There are so many misunderstandings about how plumbing works and how to fix problems with it that we could probably base our whole blog just on writing about them. These myths range from understandable confusions to the downright odd. Here’s some quick debunking of a few:
