Short guides on common plumbing problems around Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Hayden, written for homeowners who want to know what to check before calling.
Latest guides A clogged drain in Coeur d’Alene is usually grease, food, hair or soap buildup in one fixture’s drain line.
A main sewer line clog usually shows up as slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, or a backup in the lowest drain.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of a drain line, and a drain camera shows what is inside the pipe.
If a pipe bursts in Coeur d’Alene, shut off the main water supply right away, drain the lines by opening faucets, photograph the damage and call a plumber.
