Reno is called “The Biggest Little City in the World”. In the 1850s, it was home to fortune-hunters searching for gold and silver. People come now hunting for gold and silver in the casinos or they might head for the mountains for skiing or snowboarding. However, as great a place as Reno is to live, none of that matters if your toilet is leaking into the hall or your sink won’t drain at all.

The leaking toilet and the plugged-up sink might have the same solution. Somewhere, a pipe is seriously plugged. Usually, the homeowner has already tried chemicals, plungers and snakes. Calling a plumber is the next step. Tree roots might have grown through a crack in the pipe and over time completely blocked it. A small toy might have gotten stuck and now nothing will pass through. Plumbers are able to investigate what’s blocking the pipe with a tiny camera. Hydro-jetting or cutting the roots will usually eliminate the clog. Fixing the broken pipe (currently buried in the yard) may not require digging up the yard.

Frozen pipes are another problem people living in Reno may have to deal with. Any area of the home that is unheated is susceptible, particularly basements and attics. A pipe running along an exterior wall may also freeze. Water is unique: it expands as it freezes. Pipes do not stretch, so when the pipes freeze, they can burst. As the ice thaws, it floods into the room. In very cold weather, letting a faucet drip that is connected to the pipes most likely to freeze may help prevent a problem. When leaving the home, don’t set the heat to lower than 55 degrees. Once the pipe has frozen and burst, a plumber will be needed.
