Pet Owner Plumbing Tips for Bothell │ Plumbing & Heating Specialist

Do you have a canine or feline among the household? Unbeknownst to some homeowners, pets may affect the plumbing, and vice versa. We’ll outline a few pet owner plumbing tips and what you can do to prevent pet-induced plumbing issues.

Pet Owner Plumbing Tips: Things to Avoid

Never Leave the Toilet Seat Up—Does your dog enjoy the occasional sip of water from the toilet bowl? This isn’t a major concern since the water itself isn’t particularly harmful. However, the water and bowl may contain residue from chemical cleaners that pose a health concern if ingested.

Never Flush Kitty Litter—Some cat litter brands are marketed as flushable. Even so, we don’t recommend flushing the contents down the toilet. Your cat may consume foods that aren’t fully digestible, such as bones. You don’t want this matter ending up in the toilet drain.

Things You Can Do to Safeguard Your Pet

Install Pressure Balancing Valves—A surge of hot water in the shower sometimes occurs when another occupant flushes the toilet. While this isn’t a major problem for people, the temperature surge may be enough to scald smaller pets. Prevent the surge by having a plumbing service install a pressure balancing valve.

Prevent Backyard Digging—Some sewer lines are shallow, buried about 18-inches below the turf. If your dog is a digger, it could expose the pipes to the elements when it digs. Do what you must to prevent your canine friend from making craters in your yard.

I can’t speak highly enough of Darrell and his associates! Not only did they come out to service my furnace last minute they also gave me tons of great home maintenance tips! Hire them, you will not regret it.

I truly enjoyed working with this company, especially Darrell. He is not only a nice person but also skillful, professional, and knowledgeable. He wants to do things right, no negotiation. He will take whatever time it takes to achieve this. I also witnessed his patience and contribution in developing his plumber apprentice who came with him. He is certainly a rare person to find in this profession. Thank you, Darrell.

These guys are FANTASTIC! We had them replace a water pressure valve in our crawlspace but we also had them look at a few other concerns around our house that we recently purchased. Not only did Darrell take the time to inspect the areas of concern but he also spent time sharing advice and several tips for maintaining a home. As new homeowners, we were beyond grateful that he took the time to share some of his expertise and give us a peace of mind! Don't hesitate to have this company help with any plumbing or heating needs you may have!

Came out and fixed our gas leak within an hour. We have a home built in the 90's and they were still knowledgeable on what the problem was. Appreciated their service very much! Highly recommend!

It's hard to find honest business owners nowadays. Called them to check on my furnace because the heater wasn't turning on, Thomas diagnosed my furnace and didn't find any issue and that the heater was working fine that day. He could have lied about it but he did not and told me that he won't be charging me for this. I'll be referring them to friends and family for sure and I will be using them again.

I appreciate everything this company has done for me because I called them with my problem and they fixed and did a wonderful job, I called again for a different issue and with the quickness they were back out and again did a great job!

The pressure relief valve on my hot water heater started leaking. Reached out to these guys, they were able to come next day. Very professional, did great work and had very fair prices. Happy customer!

Thomas and Darrell came out on time. They were very knowledgeable and their quote seemed fair. They even took the time to sweep, vacuum, and wipe the area, making it look better than it did before! Unlike previous experiences I’ve had, I did not feel pressured to have the work performed which was refreshing. Definitely will be referring them to friends and family.
