We love Elkton. In many ways it symbolizes the best aspects of our county: the generous people, the beautiful homes, the fine dining \u2013 it\u2019s all present within a relatively small chunk of real estate within Elkton. However, recently we\u2019ve seen an uptick in common plumbing problems in the neighborhood. We don\u2019t want to pick on Elkton<\/a>, but we\u2019re going to call attention to these local issues as they represent similar problems throughout the county.<\/p>\n

Using the toilet as a trash can
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

We get it. Tossing garbage into the toilet is easy \u2013 almost too easy. If the nearby can in the bathroom is full, it\u2019s a convenient backup. However, this mistake can have costly repercussions. An extra square of toilet paper or even a small shred of the paper towel may be fine, but the plastic wrap, feminine products and just about anything else is off limits. It\u2019ll cause a serious clog<\/a> that may require professional help.<\/p>\n

Hiring ultra budget plumbers<\/strong><\/p>\n

When hiring a plumber, it\u2019s tempting to go with the cheapest option. However, more often than not, the cheapest option doesn\u2019t have the experience necessary to adequately address your problem. Instead, you should call a plumber that Elkton residents can rely on. Elkton Plumbing offers great work at a reasonable price, whether you live in North East or on Main Street in Newark<\/a>. Often, our technicians have to be called in to correct the work of inexperienced plumbers, so hire wisely the first time.<\/p>\n

Haphazard renovations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adding value to your home through renovations is exciting. It sort of re-creates that new, move-in experience. However, make sure you plan thoroughly before starting a renovation. Whether you\u2019re just swapping out a bathroom sink, replacing a faucet, or tearing out the shower completely<\/a>, you need to know ahead of time exactly what steps are involved, if you\u2019ll require the work of a contractor, and how much it\u2019ll cost. Without proper planning, you\u2019re guaranteed to hit a snag or 10.<\/p>\n

Ignore small leaks
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small leaks don\u2019t scream emergency. Rather, they just drip softly albeit annoyingly in the background. However, if neglected, these can balloon into a major problem down the road. Sometimes they\u2019re indicative of a leaky pipe or even a hole in the roof. Neither of these scenarios should be taken lightly. See if you can identify the source and if possible, repair it yourself. Otherwise, call a professional as soon as possible to investigate.<\/p>\n
