"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

With warm weather on the rise, it's no doubt that you'll be planning plenty of fun in the sun this spring and summer. Before you embark on the vacation, be sure to prepare your property for your absence to avoid the chance of undected leaks and flooding while you're away.

At Mitch Wright, we know how frustrating it can be to deal with a leaky situation. Follow these simple steps to help prevent water damage while you're on vacation!

Look for leaks. Check the plumbing in your home from top to bottom for evidence of existing leaks and have them repaired immediately. Carefully investigate the pipes under every sink and check your water heater for suspicious cracks or rust spots. Be sure to check the hoses to your major appliances as well.

Clean out gutters. Make sure to clear out any leaves or debris from your gutters. Although clogged gutters have no direct correlation to plumbing issues, if runoff from your roof has nowhere to go it may cause damage to the roof that can ultimately lead to leaks, and i cases of heavy precipitation, flooding.

Find a house sitter. The best way to make sure that your house remains water-damage-free while you enjoy your vacation is to recruit someone to check on your home while you're away. Even the slowest drip can produce thousands of dollars in damage if left unnoticed. If a family member or close friend agrees to check in a few times throughout the week, any leaks can be detected early enough to minimize, if not eliminate, the potential for costly water damage. In case of an emergency, make sure that your designated house sitter knows where the water main is located, and has contact information for Mitch Wright, your vacation spot and your insurance agent.

Turn off the water main. Regardless of whether you have recruited a trusty house-sitter, it is always a good idea to make sure that the main water valve has been turned off and all pipes have been drained before you depart. This is especially recommended if you plan to be away for great lengths of time. To drain all pipes, run the water in each faucet and flush all toilets until the water runs outs.

Bonus Tip: Look into a leak detection system. If you are a frequent traveler, it may be beneficial to purchase a system that identifies leaks within your home, automatically triggering your water main to turn off. This can eliminate unpleasant (wet) surprises upon your return.

Mitch Wright Plumbing, Heating and Air is here to help you in case you find yourself with a plumbing nightmare upon your return from vacation! For more information, visit us on Facebook or at www.mitchwrightair.com.

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

As you're putting the final touches on your dinner menu, guest list, and last minute gifts for your upcoming holiday party, we're sure the last thing on your mind is your plumbing system. However, a clogged sink or toilet is the last thing you need to worry about while entertaining a house full of people.

To avoid a holiday plumbing nightmare like this, check out what you should keep in mind during your holiday entertaining below.

Keep toys away from the toilet. We know this may sound crazy, however, it's not uncommon for small toys to be accidentally flushed down the toilet or dropped in the garbage disposal. Beware of the little ones on the lose with small toys and try to keep them away from your plumbing systems.

Scrape Dishes Well. Holiday dinners are usually extravagant and plates are filled to the max. When your guest are done eating, be sure to scrape off plates as best as possible to avoid food from clogging the drain when dishes are being rinsed.

Prepare. If you notice in the next few days that your kitchen sink isn't draining properly, or your toilet isn't flushing efficiently, be proactive and call your plumber now! Taking these measures before you have guests over can save you a huge headache on the day of your party.

On behalf of all of us here at Mitch Wright Plumbing Heating and Air, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season. If you find yourself in the face of a plumbing nightmare at your holiday party, don't worry, your friends at Mitch Wright are always here to help! We can be reached at anytime by calling (662) 349-3547.

HVAC System Routine Tune Up

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Your heating systems are an important part of winter so it is crucial to make sure your furnace is ready to fight off the upcoming cold weather! Wondering where to start? Time, convenience, and efficiency are all important aspects that are taken into consideration when planning your next scheduled service or tune up.

Convenience and timing go hand in hand when it comes to checking out your furnace. The perfect time to get it serviced is before the winter season. Systems are more than likely to break down when they are used regularly (like your furnace in the cold months), and many people forget that until it's too late. By waiting until the middle of winter to get your system checked, the demand on service professionals near your you will rise, and you may not be able to get an appointment within that same day!

Efficiency is the next aspect to consider when scheduling your service and tune up for your heating system. By getting your furnace checked in the fall, the more likely that it will be ready to fight against the cold. Scheduled maintenance increases the longevity of your system and our professionals will check and make sure that your system will continue to run smoothly throughout the winter months!

Dealing with a break down in the middle of winter is certainly not ideal. Fall tune ups and scheduled service are the perfect way to bring you peace of mind during the most stressful months of the year. Annual inspections and servicing your heating system is highly recommended because it not only helps prolong the life of your system, but it also can save you money by reducing energy bills.

While scheduling your winter getaways and family gatherings, don't forget to put Mitch Wright Plumbing Heating and Air on your schedule! We will stop over and make sure your home is ready to go for winter! For more information, visit www.mitchwrightair.com.

Plumbing Myths

Mitch Wright Plumbing Heating and Air

www.MitchWrightAir.com

(662) 349-3547

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

Everything you read and hear is not always true. This goes for pretty much everything, including plumbing. There’s a lot of things you can do to your plumbing to help maintain it, but not everything works or is what it seems. Here’s a couple of debunked plumbing myths that can finally be put to bed! 

Myth: Lemon Peels Clean Your Garbage Disposal

Fact: Putting lemon peels down your garbage disposal will make your drain smell better, but sadly it won’t clean the blades. To clean the blades of a garbage disposal, disconnect its power and spray a cleaning solution into the disposal. Allow the solution to sit for a few minutes and then proceed with scrubbing the blades with a brush.

Myth: Run Water While Using the Garbage Disposal to Help Push Waste Down 

Fact: Contrary to what most people think, you can’t put anything you want into your garbage disposal as long as you run the water. Most items do not belong in the disposal, such as banana peels and eggshells. Running water or not, putting items like these down the garbage disposal can damage it. To make sure thick foods go down the disposal smoothly, break them up in water before putting them down the drain. 

Myth: Everything Is Going Down the Drain, It Isn't Clogged

Fact: Your garbage disposal can still operate while a clog is beginning to form. Just because water is moving downwards into the drain, doesn’t mean there isn’t a clog.  For a warning sign that your drain or disposal is clogging, look for waste fragments on the discharge pipe. If the disposal is moving slowly than you may have a clog on your hands. Do not use your disposal until the drain is unclogged. 

Myth: You Can Clean Plumbing Fixtures With Hand Soap

Fact: Cleaning plumbing fixtures with hand soap may not kill all of the germs inhabiting them. For instance, toilet bowls need to be cleaned with a quality disinfectant. The surface of other plumbing fixtures can also be damaged by hand soap. Anything made from brass, should be cleaned with a sliced lemon and baking soda solution for a light and gentle cleaning.

Now that you know some of the facts about plumbing maintenance, you can move ahead with some confidence. If you have any major maintenance that needs to be done to your plumbing, you can rely on Mitch Wright Plumbing, Heating & Air to help you out!

DIY Tips: Clogged Garbage Disposal

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

If you're the proud owner of a garbage disposal, it's inevitable that at some point or another, it will get clogged. However, there are a few simple things you can do to try and unclog your system before having to give your friends at Mitch Wright Plumbing a call!

Get a good look. Grab a flashlight and take a good look down the disposal to see if you can pinpoint what is causing the issue.

Kill the power. There should be a electrical power switch located under your sink around the area of hte disposal or on a nearby wall. If not, you may want to consider going to the main panel and turning off the breaker.

Remove visable item. If you can see what's causing the clog, grab a pair of pliers to remove the object. NEVER stick your hand down the disposal!

Get mixing. If you can't see an object that seems to be causing the issue, it could be in the pipes. Pour half a box of baking soda in the side of the sink where the disposal is located and the other half in the other side. Next, pour white vinegar into both sides, but more on the side of the disposal. Let the mixture soak for 30 minutes and then clean with hot water. This may do the trick.

Call the professionals. Can't seem to fix the issues? Thats where Mitch Wright comes in. Give us a call! We will be there in no time to get your garbage disposal running properly.

If you're located in Memphis, Germantown, Shelby County TN, Southaven, Olive Branch, Hernando, Horn Lake or Desoto County, we hope that you will call on Mitch Wright Plumbing, Heating and Air should a plumbing emergency arise.

Avoiding Liquid Drain Cleaner

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

When your sink or drain backs up, what is the first thing you do? We're going to assume it's head to the supply closet and look for a bottle of Draino or Liquid-Plumr. If that is the case, we can assure you that you're not the only one! However, drain cleaners contain several harsh chemicals that can damage and erode your pipes.

Instead of trying to fix it yourself and perhaps creating more of a mess, it's always best to call in the professionals! That's where we fit in. If you find that your sink or drain is clogged, give Mitch Wright Plumbing a call immediately and we will be over in no time to fix it! We can be reached by calling (662) 349-3547.

Plumbing Myths Debunked

"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

We're sure you've heard the expression "don't believe everything you hear." This is especially true when it comes to the internet and plumbing tips! Mitch Wright Plumbing is here to debunk a few plumbing myths that you may have come across while searching the web. 

Myth #1: Minor leaks don't need to be dealt with right away

This is false. Leaky faucets are a plumbing issue and should be dealt with as soon as the issue arises. Not only are you wasting water, but you're wasting money as well! Over time, that slow drip you hear will lead to a higher water bill. 

Myth #2: Flushable Wipes are Flushable 

Don't be deceived by the name. Flushable wipes cause a tremendous amount of plumbing issues! The truth is, flushable wipes don't biodegrade like regular toilet tissue does. If you do have these types of wipes in your bathroom, dispose them in the garbage can and keep them away from the toilet!

Myth #3: Ice Cubes Sharpen Garbage Disposal Blades

This is false. However, ice cubes will help to clean your garbage disposal, but they will not sharpen the blades.
