When you need professional plumbing in Ludlow, VT who do you call? Hopefully, it’s our team! Especially if you have a stubbornly clogged drain.

This is because they’re highly caustic, and can actually eat away at the lining of your pipes, eventually leading to corrosion and leaks. The real solution to a clogged drain is professional service, whether our plumbers come out with a drain snake or hydro-jet for really stubborn backups.
But what if you could prevent clogs to begin with? You may be able to, as long as you understand what causes them to begin with. Read on to learn more!

Wow, it’s been hot out there. It shouldn’t be a surprise. It gets hot every summer. But after a cool autumn and frigid, snowy winter, it’s easy to forget that. There is no denying it now, though. Summer is here. And, to quote a wise, unknown source—it’s not the heat. It’s the humidity. In truth, it’s both. And they are both making themselves known. If you want to stay truly comfortable, you should be using a whole-house dehumidifier.
Dehumidifiers offer a number of benefits to homeowners. And whole-house dehumidifiers are the cream of the crop. There is no way that a standalone dehumidifier can match the quality performance that a whole-house dehumidifier in Southern Vermont can offer. At least, not one that’s installed by our team. Because we always do it right. Keep the following information in mind. Call with any questions. And let our team help you live comfortably. Continue Reading
