Why your slow drain keeps coming back
Clearing a drain and cleaning one are different jobs, and only one of them lasts.
The twenty-minute job that adds years to a water heater
Valley water lays down scale faster than almost anywhere. Flushing is the whole defence.

The most common cause of a tankless unit underperforming is not the unit, and skipping it can void the warranty.
How to tell whether you have a hidden leak
Two checks, five minutes, and no tools — worth doing before a bill arrives that explains it for you.
When an older valley house needs repiping
Galvanised pipe has a lifespan, and a lot of Old Town is past it.
What to do with the plumbing before you leave for the summer
Half the valley empties out in July. A flooded house discovered in September is entirely avoidable.
