Rapid Rooter AZ’s Tips of The Week

Cleanouts?

If your house backed up, your tubs could back up fast. Know where your cleanouts are so you can let it run out into your yard until a plumber can get to you.

Water Heater…
Did you know 80% of water heater failures start with small leaks? Do a 10-second check under your tank once a month—it could save you thousands.
