When a drain is clogged most often a home owner will reach for a chemical drain cleaner. In fact most homeowners probably think of these products before calling a plumber comes to mind. Home and business owners often see these cleaners as a cheap way to fix their troubles without giving thought to the damage a chemical cleaner can cause. Miranda Plumbing Services implores you to not use chemical drain cleaners on your clogged drain. Here are some reasons why chemical drain cleaners are not a good idea for any drain problem. They Are Dangerous The chemicals in these commercial drain cleaners are caustic. The way the typically work is that they melt the items that are causing the clogs. The chemicals in the cleaners can mix with the chemicals that have been used to clean the sink or tub that you are trying to clean. When these chemicals mix, they can create a deadly fume cloud putting you and your family is great danger. When the drain cleaner doesn’t work and you decide to call a plumber, those chemicals can burn and injure the plumber while they are attempting to fix the original problem. The chemicals in the drain cleaner can cause chemical burns to both your body and clothes if they splash back on you. If you are not aware of the type of pipes you have in your home, the chemicals in the drain cleaners can even melt or corrode the pipes causing you a much larger headache and bill. They Damage the Fixtures If you pour a drain cleaner into a sink or onto a drain, you run the great risk of melting or corroding the finish. This will cause you to have to replace the fixtures or finish. They Don’t Work While the drain cleaner may put a Band-Aid on your problem, they will not clean or completely remove any of the clogs. As time goes by you will need to reuse the drain cleaner of call a professional. If drain cleaners worked, there would be a lot of plumbers out of business! They Are Dangerous To the Environment Chemical drain cleaners are very damaging to the environment. The chemical fumes not only get released into the air but they also enter the water supply.

Did you know that drain problems can be caused by things out of your control? Pipes often breakdown after years of use. As the pipes get cracks, roots often grow through the cracks in search of the water flowing through the pipes. These roots can cause major clogs and damage your pipes beyond repair. Your pipes may also be letting in sand, mud and other debris through the cracks causing sediment to buildup in the bottom of your pipe system. Our video detection equipment can stop these problems before they become major. When your drains are backing up, you smell fouls odors coming through your drains, you notice standing water in your drains or your toilets are not flushing correctly, call Miranda Plumbing Services to inspect your drains.  

We often flush things down our drains that we shouldn’t. After years of being abused, our drains and the pipes that they lead to can become clogged causing a long list of problems. Once a drain is clogged you as a home or business owner may try to take matters into your own hands. While there are chemical drain cleaning agents on the market these are dangerous and not recommended by any reputable plumber. Typically, in order to get your clog out you will need to call a professional. Miranda Plumbing Services is the plumbing company for all of your drain needs. Here are the most typical drains in your home and the things that cause them to clog. Your kitchen drain may take the most abuse. We flush grease, food, chemicals, and other items down these drains in our daily life. These drains and the pipes connected to them are not made to withstand the abuse we put them through. Over time the drains can become clogged when the items we flush down them buildup on the pipe walls. Another problem that is common with kitchen drains is the garbage disposal getting clogged with food that has not been thoroughly flushed out. Miranda Plumbing Services can help with both these issues. We will come and unclog your drain; we can even clean your drain to remove years of backup. The drains in our showers, tubs and bathroom sinks often get clogged with hair. The average person loses 50 to 100 strands of hair a day. Much of that is lost when washing your hair or brushing it in the bathroom. As the hair is lost it is often flushed down the drains. This hair will wrap itself around drain plugs and can even collect in your pipes causing a huge mess. Miranda Plumbing services uses two tools to remedy your clogged drains. To break up the clog we will use our Drain Snake. This is a tool that utilizes many different barbed heads that are feed into your drains. As the heads rotate they breakup the clogs and we can pull them out using a reverse motion. While a snake may be able to breakup clogs, your drains will still be full of buildup that can lead to bigger drain issues. Our Hydro jetting system is the answer for buildup in your pipes. We use different size heads to spray high pressured water into your drain and pipe system. This high pressure jet will remove buildup and can even break apart clogs. When we clean your drain using Hydro jetting we guarantee that your drains will stay clog free for five years, five months and five days.  

“Let me congratulate you on picking the right people to represent you and your staff of technicians.

I have been a customer since the year 2000 for not only my plumbing needs but for my air conditioning needs as well. Thank you for a job well done.” - Concetta T. Gomez, Port St. Lucie

When it comes to water, there can be many issues associated with the lack of proper water filtration. While there can be many issues, many of them can go undetected as we turn our faucet on, save for a smell or a slight discoloration in the water itself. Thankfully, your local Palm Beach FL water filtration experts at Miranda Home Services are here to assist you in diagnosing your water filtration problem. Cloudy water is a common problem that almost every homeowner will experience with their water supply. There are a number of environmental factors that can cause cloudy water, usually caused by the temperature in your pipes being low than your current room temperature. This causes undissolved air to manifest in your water in bubble form, causing your water to appear cloudy or milky white. It is recommended that you simply let the water sit for a minute or two, and the discoloration should clear naturally. Other common water filtration issues include a chlorine taste in your water, which can increase drying effects in your skin, while also not being the most appeasing to the taste buds. A “rotten egg” smellcoming from your water indicates the presence of hydrogen sulfide, and could be indicative of a sewer leak. The presence of other elements in your water, such as magnesium or iron, can give your tap water a metallic taste, rendering it unusable. As always, if you have any of these problems occur in your home, it is advisable you contact our trained team of Palm Beach plumbing technicians today. Our water filtration experts can assess your problem today, devise a plan of action, and execute it in a timely and cost-efficient manner. With any water filtration or general plumbing questions, comments, or concerns, give us a call or contact us online today.
