A customer recently installed a new bathroom vanity themselves, and shortly thereafter detected a strange smell coming from the drain.

The culprit?

Those flexible "accordion" pipes at the hardware store might seem like a cool idea, but their ridges trap gunk, cause clogs, and often siphon away the water barrier that keeps sewer gases out of your home.

Proper drainage requires precise angles, correct trap sizing, and proper venting. If your DIY remodel is acting up, Action Plumbing can get your lines piped to code in no time! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

There's nothing better than washing off the sand and salt in an outdoor shower! But because they're exposed to the elements, they need a little extra love to keep from going rogue. Keep an eye out for these common outdoor shower culprits:

๐Ÿ’งLow water pressure (often caused by mineral buildup or a hidden leak)

โ›ฑ Slow drainage (sand and hair are major culprits here)

๐Ÿ’ฒLeaking fixtures or handles that waste water and hike up your bill

If your outdoor shower is acting up, don't sweat it. Give Action Plumbing a call and weโ€™ll have it running perfectly for your next beach day! https://actionplumbingobx.com/services/outdoor-showers/

Managing a summer rental is a breeze until a plumbing disaster strikes mid-vacation. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Don't let a clogged drain or a backed-up toilet ruin your guests' stay (or your reviews!).

Before your next guests check in:

Clear the drains: Give them a quick check to ensure everything flows smoothly.

Remind guests of the rules; just a quick checklist in a pretty frame is all you need!

Know where the main shut-off is: Make sure you, guests (or your property manager) can access it quickly in an emergency.

Happy July 1st, OBX! ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธ Summer is officially in full swing, the beaches are beautiful, and the visitors are streaming in.

With a full house comes a lot of extra love for your plumbing system. To keep your summer stress-free (and avoid problems during the big game or family outing), here is your quick OBX Summer Plumbing Check:

๐Ÿšฟ The Sand Trap: Sand belongs on the beach, not in your pipes! Make sure guests are using the outdoor shower to rinse off completely before heading inside.
๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Trash the Scraps: Hosting a seafood boil? Keep shrimp shells, corn husks, and grease far away from the garbage disposal. They are a one-way ticket to a clogged sink.
๐Ÿšฐ Know the Main: If a leak happens, do you (or your renters) know where the main water shut-off valve is? Locating it now can save thousands in water damage later.

Enjoy the sunshine, stay hydrated, and letโ€™s keep those pipes flowing smoothly all summer long! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡
