  • Why is my toilet constantly running?

    Having a toilet that is constantly running wastes water and money. Usually, it's due to an issue with the actual toilet. Most of the time, the issue is a worn-out flapper that's allowing water to seep out and drain the tank. If you're looking to put a stop to the issue, it's imperative that you call on a plumber McHenry, IL residents can depend upon. Contact ASAP Plumbing today and let our team address the issue.

  • What's causing the sink to drain slowly?

    Having a kitchen sink that drains slowly can be caused by a few things that are easy to resolve. Hardened grease or oil can narrow the pipes, resulting in a slow-draining sink. Running hot water for several minutes will usually get the sink draining properly again. 


    Another common cause is something being stuck in the garbage disposal. There's a limit as to what can be put down the disposal, so if something gets stuck it will prevent the sink from draining properly. This problem can be resolved by calling a plumber in McHenry, IL to take the garbage disposal apart and remove the blockage. For assistance addressing the issue, contact ASAP Plumbing today.

  • How do I know if my shower drain is clogged?

    If you find yourself standing in a few inches of water after taking a shower, it's usually a sign that the drain is clogged. Shower drain blockages are usually caused by a build-up of soap scum, dirt, and hair. There are some easy fixes to keep the shower drain clear of hair and soap scum. 


    A good first step is pouring boiling water down the drain to help break up the build-up. Using a plunger can also be an effective way to release hair blockages. Combining baking soda and vinegar is another easy way to dissolve bigger blockages without resorting to harsh chemicals. Pour a cup of baking soda down the clogged drain first and wait a few minutes before you add a cup of vinegar. Let the mixture sit for a few hours and then rinse the drain with boiling water.

  • Why is my water pressure so low?

A quick clean of the fixtures by a reliable plumber in McHenry, IL to remove the build-up will have them working properly again. If they're too gunked up, replacing them may be the next step.
