As a licensed plumber, I recommend scheduling routine plumbing maintenance at least once a year. This can include checking for leaks, inspecting pipes for corrosion, testing water pressure, and ensuring all fixtures are working properly. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and extends the longevity and efficiency of your plumbing system.

The appropriate size of a catch basin for a property's drainage system is typically determined by calculating the total amount of water runoff that needs to be collected and drained. This calculation takes into account factors such as the size of the property, the amount of rainfall in the area, and the slope of the land. It is recommended to consult with a licensed plumber or drainage expert to accurately determine the correct size of catch basin needed for your specific property.

Some common causes of burst pipes include freezing temperatures, corrosion, high water pressure, and physical damage from construction or shifting soil. Regular maintenance and insulation can help prevent these incidents.

One natural way to maintain a clean and odor-free kitchen sink drain is to regularly pour a mixture of hot water and vinegar down the drain. This can help break down any buildup and eliminate odors. Additionally, using baking soda followed by hot water can also help keep the drain clean and fresh.

The basement waterproofing process typically takes 1-2 weeks to complete, depending on the size of the project. During the project, you can expect some disruption to your daily routine, such as noise from equipment, dust, and limited access to certain areas of your home.
