We have more calls than ever to assist with clogged toilets and pipes. Why is this happening? More people are working from home creating more wear and tear on home commodes. Plus, people became inventive during the toilet paper shortage. We hear comments from our clients that they have always used flushable wipes and flushed them down the drain without a problem. Why now? Clogs start slowly and build up over a period of time until it becomes a plumbing headache for you. We can help save you money on plumbing problems. Don’t throw anything except toilet paper in your toilet. Everything else should be disposed in the garbage. If you do need help, Putman & Son’s certified plumbers are here to assist. Call us on our 24/7 hotline (248) 652-0990.

Flush Water Pipes
Many businesses and vacation homes have not been used in some time. If a property has been vacant, it is best to go in to periodically flush out the water pipes. Water can stagnate in plumbing and appliances and may affect water quality after it leaves the city’s distribution and enters private service connections. Stagnant water can increase the risk of Legionella, which causes Legionnaires’ disease amongst other issues. Sometimes, people forget that it is just as important to do this in warmer weather as it is in colder weather when you risk frozen pipes. If you are in need of plumbing services, please contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing. We are here 24/7 to help with any of your plumbing needs.
Confined Spaces Safety Training

Putman & Son’s Plumbing provides continual education, training and certifications throughout the year to provide our customers the highest standards of plumbing techniques, equipment and services while maintaining that our plumbing technicians are not only well educated but safe in the field. Most recently, we completed a confined spaces safety training by OSHA. There are special precautions needed when our plumbers are over 5 feet in a hole and this training took a full day to complete. We also completed a full day jetter training. This is just a sampling of training programs that are required and necessary to provide you, our customers, outstanding service. If you are in need of plumbing services, please call our 24/7 hotline at (248) 652-0990. We provide estimates and financing is available.

Garbage Disposal Tales
Do not put egg shells down the garbage disposal to sharpen the blades. Garbage disposals do not have blades and the impellers are blunt. The membranes from egg shells can cause damage to your garbage disposal if it gets wrapped around the impeller. If you have any issues and need a plumber, contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing. Our certified plumbers can fix or replace your garbage disposal or tend to any of your plumbing needs.
