Flooded Basements are the Scourge of any Homeowner.

If you are a homeowner in the Columbus area who has ever experienced a wet basement, you know the value of a sump pump.  The sump pump takes water that would otherwise seep into the basement and pumps it outside, leaving the basement dry. Staats Plumbing is a sump pump installation professional as well as a backup system.

A battery powered backup system will take over when a sump pump has any type of mechanical failure or during a power outage and continues to move water out of your basement. Conversely, a water-powered backup sump pump will give you endless operation without batteries or electrical power.

Does a Clogged Toilet Really Require a Plumber?

Most people in Columbus have a toilet brush and a toilet plunger for their minor toilet plumbing issues, but really not much more than that. The next step is a toilet auger or "snake”, but a tool like that can be just as expensive as a plumber visit. That is why you call an experienced plumber such as Brent Staats of Statts Plumbing.

Here is perhaps a more important thing to keep in mind…if you have tried corrosive chemicals to remove the clog and it didn't work, you may really need a plumber for your clogged toilet.  Those chemicals can damage your toilet if it is continually exposed to them.  If the chemicals eat a hole in your pipes under the waterline, you won't know it until it's too late!
