Leaky faucets, plugged drains, and failing water heaters are common issues in all homes. However, manufactured homes have unique plumbing needs. Accessibility can be a challenge, depending on factors like how the skirting was installed and whether the home is on a foundation. Unlike stick-built houses, water heaters in mobile homes are typically accessed from the exterior. Additionally, the plumbing lines and fixtures in manufactured homes may have a shorter lifespan compared to those in traditional houses.
​
Although manufactured homes have improved over the years, their construction materials often require more maintenance. Moreover, if the home has been relocated, components can become loose or damaged. Water damage resulting from a leaky pipe or fixture can lead to costly repairs, including flooring and insulation replacement.

It's important to note that not all plumbers are licensed to work on manufactured homes, and some may prefer not to handle such jobs at all. Therefore, finding a licensed plumber who is experienced with manufactured homes is essential for prolonging the home's lifespan. A quick response to plumbing issues can make the difference between a minor repair and a major renovation. It's crucial to understand that there's no such thing as a minor leak when it comes to plumbing; delaying repairs can result in further damage over time. Leaks do not fix themselves, and addressing them promptly can prevent costly consequences down the line.

Upgrading your home is a priority for many homeowners seeking modern conveniences, especially in the kitchen. Older homes, while sturdy, may lack the amenities expected in today's kitchens.

Holiday season means family and friends visiting, cooking extravaganzas, last minute shopping and, as much as we try to avoid it, stress. The last thing you need on your hands this holiday season is a plumbing emergency. Here at All Connect Plumbing, we know this is the time of year that your home is taxed to the max. We are coming upon the most intense use of your home plumbing of the year. Between the buzz of activity in the kitchen and guests staying over, your sinks, toilets, showers, dishwashers, garbage disposals and hot water heaters will be working overtime. We're giving you some holiday plumbing tips to keep the holidays moving along as smoothly as possible:

• Be aware of what you flush! One of the most common emergencies around the holidays are clogged toilets. Avoid flushing baby wipes, feminine napkins and facial tissues. Encourage guests to not flush these items by keeping a waste basket in the bathroom.
• Be nice to your garbage disposal. Another common emergency during the holidays is a broken garbage disposal. This is primarily caused by putting too much food and the wrong kind of food down a disposal that is not built to handle such a large load. You can avoid this by cutting larger pieces of food before putting them into the disposal and also not putting the following foods down the disposal:  rice or pasta, celery, egg shells, potato peels, fruit pits, gravy, bones, onion skins, grease or oil.
• Turn up your water heater, but not too hot! You can help prepare for an overloading of your hot water supply by turning up the heat. However, make sure you do not exceed 120 degrees and turn it back down to normal after your guests leave to conserve energy.

Finally, we all know that prevention is the best method to avoid catastrophe. Here at All Connect Plumbing we conduct plumbing inspections to ensure that your system will be running smoothly. For such an inspection, contact us. As always, our 23.5/7 hour emergency services are available to you should a holiday disaster occur. Simply call the number at the top of the page!
