•Sediment buildup: Water naturally carries minerals that will leave sediment in your system over time. And the hotter the water is, the more sediment it will deposit. It is also, by nature, corrosive. Sediment deposited by water can destroy a water heater.

•Corrosion: Water that is too soft leads to rusting and corrosion, which will eventually destroy the anode rod component, which is designed to prevent rusting.

Water Heater Maintenance Tips

•Maintain a water heater temperature under 120 degrees to prevent corrosion and the potential for scalding in the shower or at the faucet.

•If you have soft water, make sure the anode rod suspended in your water heater is inspected annually; it might need to be replaced as often as every two years. If you have harder water, it can be replaced less often.

•It is almost impossible to completely avoid sediment, but to keep sediment buildup to a minimum, the manufacturer usually recommends the system be flushed a couple of times per year. A buildup of sediment can decrease the efficiency of the system, and interfere with the system’s ability to hold its water capacity.

•Keep in mind that using soft water with water heaters will increase corrosion, while hard water generally produces more scale and sediment buildup, and take the appropriate action.

The best way to avoid these problems is to have your water heater maintained by an expert every year. This will ensure that corrosion and sediment are kept to a minimum, and will enable you to evaluate the balance of your water’s hard/soft condition.

If you’re embarking on your own kitchen remodel and don’t care to spend the countless hours I did becoming one of the world’s foremost experts, here are eight cool things I came across that can help make your kitchen complete. If you don’t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend (we’re mostly about saving money around here rather than spending it), just a couple of these items can improve your spirits and maybe even impress a future buyer of your home…and some are cheap.

1. The Tapmaster

The Tapmaster is an add-on for your kitchen faucet that saves both energy and time. You’ve probably seen a version of this hands-free faucet at your dentist’s or doctor’s office – it’s that pedal that the doctor steps on to turn the water on and off. But the home versions are a lot fancier.

When you buy a Tapmaster for home use, you have the choice between an in-floor activator (you stand on it to control the water), a euro-foot activator (a slim little lever you kick with the side of your foot) or a cabinet-door activator (turn on the water by touching the front of the cabinet with your knee). This is a great feature when your hands are full of veggies you need to wash or when you don’t want to touch the faucet with your yucky chicken hands.

The Tapmaster can be purchased directly through Tapmaster.com or from online retailers like Conserv-a-Store. Prices generally range from $300 to $350 depending on the model.

2. Toe-kick drawers

A toe kick is the recessed area below the bottom of your cabinets that allows you to stand close to the counter without bumping your toes on the cabinet bottom. Toe kicks are usually several inches deep – and they’re wasted space.

If you get custom or semi-custom cabinets, however, you can have a toe-kick drawer put in. These are simply shallow drawers that fit in the toe-kick area and that open when you tap them with your foot. (They look like this.) They’re perfect for storing place mats, tablecloths, bulky platters, or other long and flat items, which is a blessing in small kitchens. Since these are specialty items, you can really only get them from cabinetmakers or cabinet companies. Prices vary but are generally under $200 per drawer.

3. Instant hot

An “instant hot” is one of the least expensive and most useful additions to a new kitchen. It’s a tank that installs underneath your sink and provides you with immediate access to hot water for tea, coffee, and instant oatmeal. Instant hot units typically work by running the water through coils that heat it quickly – and with very little energy.

Instant hots require their own separate faucet for the warmed water to come out of, and the least expensive way to get this is to buy a kit that comes with both tank and faucet. When you use the instant hot faucet, you get…well…instant hot water with temperatures that range up to 200 degrees. Most units will produce as many as 60 cups of hot water per hour, giving you plenty of warmed water for even the largest party.

4. A space corner

Corners have long been the bane of the kitchen-design world. But with a space corner, you can recapture the dead space. When you have a space corner unit, your cabinets appear to have opposing sets of drawer faces on each end of the corner cabinet – which, of course, would bump into each other if they were ever to be opened.

In reality, the sets of “drawers” on each side of the triangle created by the corner are all one unit. This gives you one big drawer that opens up and that’s triangle shaped in the back, allowing you to access as much of the corner space as possible. (It looks like this.) Space corners are offered as part of a cabinet package by your cabinetmaker or manufacturer, and prices will vary depending on cabinet style and design. Generally, each corner outfitted as a space corner will be under $200.

5. A NeverMT

Soap dispensers can make your life a lot easier and can keep clutter off of your counters. They can also be a giant pain when you have to refill them constantly. That’s where the NeverMT comes in. For $9.95 from Custom Inserts, you can convert your built-in soap dispenser so that it connects directly to a giant bulk-size soap or lotion container. The bulk-sized container should last for a long time, giving you ready access to soap without the hassle.

6. Plugmold

As I designed my kitchen, I was dismayed to discover that outlets are required every 2 feet, according to the National Electric Code. Since I was designing a nice backsplash for my kitchen, I didn’t want my marble tiles marred by unsightly outlets.Fortunately, Plugmold came to the rescue.

Plugmold is a thin multi-outlet strip that can fit underneath upper cabinets and be almost completely hidden by the cabinet molding. (It can look like this.)

This solved my outlet problem, and I also put a Plugmold strip under my island so people sitting at bar stools would have plenty of places to plug in laptops or other electronic devices if they were keeping me company while I was in the kitchen.

7. An air switch

Our kitchen layout ended up with our main sink in the kitchen island, leaving me with a conundrum: Where do I put the disposal switch? The answer: Use an air switch.

An air switch is an alternative to a standard wall switch. It can mount on the counter because it’s air-pressure-activated. When you press the small button, a burst of air is sent into the air tubes, triggering a power on/off switch and turning the disposal on. Air switches were traditionally used in Jacuzzis, so they could be turned off and on with wet hands. We got our air switch from the plumbing supply store that provided all plumbing for our home, but they can be purchased from almost any plumber.

8. Vac pan

One of the final additions to our kitchen – and perhaps the coolest of all – was the vac pan. The vac pan is a part of our central vacuum system. It’s a narrow slit in the toe kick of the island that can be opened and closed using a small kick lever. When opened, it provides suction – and items can be swept into it and carried off to the central vac.

It works like an automatic dustpan, sucking in crumbs and other dirt that are swept in. Adding it to our central vac was simple, but if you don’t have a central vac in your new kitchen, a standalone model called the EyeVac can serve the same function, making cleanup a breeze. The EyeVac costs $94.16 at Amazon.com, and central vac versions can Generally be obtained for under $30 from your central vac installer.

Maybe I’m just gone kitchen crazy, but I love all of these items. But even if you pick out only one or two, they can provide not only great convenience, but a potentially good return on your investment.

At Nixco Plumbing in Mason, we see many sump pump issues after heavy rains. A large aspect of preventing these sump pump issues involves the regular testing of your sump pump at least annually by either a professional or yourself.

In this video by DIY, you can see the basics of how a sump pump is supposed to work.

Following these few, simple rules for sump pump maintenance can help prevent costly flooding in homes and basements.

• Your sump pump should be checked regularly and at the very least it should be checked before the spring thaw and rainy season hit.

• Automatic sump pumps are ideal for Warren County homes since they will automatically begin pumping out water if it begins rising.

• If you do have an automatic sump pump, always have a back up pump and power supply in the event that a power outage occurs during a storm.

Here at Nixco Plumbing, we offer many products to help prevent flooding in the home. With sump pumps and back up systems both battery and water powered. Prevent costly flooding and contact Nixco Plumbing today to schedule your sump pump evaluation.

A plumbing disaster is one of the worst things that can happen, especially during the holidays when your home is filled with friends and family.

In today’s Angie’s List report, how to avoid a mishap over the holidays.

If you’ll have extra family and friends in your home this holiday season your toilet will be working overtime.

The plumbing category on Angie’s List, is typically one of the most requested categories year-round, nationwide. We asked highly rated plumbers about the most common toilet issues and how to fix them.

Toilet clogs:

•Plunge the toilet: Use a plunger as your first line of defense with a clogged toilet. Turn off the water valve first. There must be some water in the toilet for the plunging to work. If there isn’t enough water, add some until it comes up about halfway on the rubber cup of the toilet plunger once it’s placed over the drain hole.

•Prevention is the best medicine: That means not flushing items down the toilet that are likely to cause blockage. The most common toilet-clogging culprits include excess toilet paper, baby wipes, feminine products and toys.

Overflowing toilet:

•Locate the shut off valve: Turn the valve until the water shuts off to prevent additional overflow. If your toilet does not have one, open the tank and rig the float to stay in its position and not let any more water fill the tank. If a clog is the culprit of the overflow, grab a plunger and try plunging it free.

•Regular checkups: These valves should be inspected to ensure they are working properly.

Leaky toilet:

•Grab some food coloring: Here’s an easy test to determine if your toilet has a leak: add a few drops of food coloring to your toilet tank and leave overnight. If the color shows up in the bowl after about a half hour, you have a leak. Be sure to clean the bowl afterwards so it doesn’t stain.

When a homeowner needs a plumber, it’s often in an emergency situation, which can lead to disaster if the homeowner hasn’t checked the plumber out before hiring.

Choosing the right professional for the job can be the difference between quality work and flushing your money down the toilet.

One of the most important and relatively cheap equipment a homeowner needs for winterization is pipe wrap, heat tape and filler foam. What you want to do is stop air filtration into the home.

Pipe wrap comes in different lengths and diameters, so measure the pipe before heading to the hardware store.

Heat tape is meant to be run along the pipe, but it should not be covered with pipe wrap because that may create a fire hazard.

Most often the hot water pipe is the one that freezes first.

We hear that all the time: people have cold water but no hot water. Even a tiny ice cold draft hitting a pipe in one spot can make it freeze.

Use your hand to feel around the pipe; if there’s air coming from the outside, it’s easy to feel it.

Filler foam can help fill all the little holes and cracks in the foundation and along window frames, especially in basements.

Be careful with the foam, it expands in the gap you are trying to fill. If you put too much in there it can cause more damage than good. Look for stuff that doesn’t expand too much.

And read the label – that goes for any product.

One of the most common mistake homeowners in Cincinnati are guilty of, is to forget to turn off the water to outside faucets and to disconnect garden hoses.

If you leave the hose on the faucet, that’s just as bad as not turning off the water. The hose can’t drain and the water in it will freeze and back up into the faucet.

The result is the same: a broken pipe or a broken faucet.

Just because a home is new doesn’t mean it’s perfect.

New homes have energy problems too. They may be a little different, but they can have plenty of issues.

Check the front door of your home. If you can see daylight around it anywhere, that’s just as bad as having a baseball-size hole in the middle of the door.

Adhesive foam strips come in many different styles and they do a great job closing gaps around doors. Experiment a bit and find the stuff you like the best.

If, regardless of insulation, a pipe freezes don’t reach for drastic measures.

When it’s too late, use a pipe thawer or a small heater, and be really careful. Insulation can be flammable. Electrical heat tape is a very safe way to thaw a pipe.

Do you have some home repairs you’ve been putting off?

Angie Hicks, of Angie’s List, says “A great way to start the New Year is to take an assessment of your house. Walk around as if you are getting ready to buy the house. Right down everything you see that’s potentially wrong and that way you can prioritize it and money set aside for these important projects.”

According to Angie’s List there are seven home repairs you shouldn’t skip:

1. Up on the Roof: A small issue with your roof doesn’t mean you need to replace the whole thing. But letting the little things go only means you’re in for big bills later. If you notice loose shingles, have attic leaks, suspect chimney issues or see other signs of damage up high, call in a reputable roofer, gutter or chimney expert, or a handyman to give you great advice about what you need done.

2. Leaks don’t fix themselves: Leaky faucets and running toilets will just get worse, so do yourself a favor and get those fixed before major damage occurs. If you notice a jump in your water bill but haven’t increased your usage, you likely have a hidden leak, which left undetected could lead to mold, wood rot and severe water damage. Don’t work with anyone who isn’t happy to show you his or her plumbing license.

3. Caulk it up: The caulking around your tub and shower prevents moisture penetration, which can lead to mold, tile and wall damage and warped cabinetry. Keeping everything watertight will save you a bundle, so be sure to repair any caulking failures. But don’t stop there. All homes get cracks and voids in their outside walls over time. Look closely at where two boards come together, because cracks often start there. Also look for damage from animals that are looking for a way in. Caulk any cracks you see to avoid water penetration, subsequent wood rot and to keep the critters out.

4. Sparks fly: Lights that dim on their own schedule aren’t just annoying: they’re a clear signal that you have an electrical problem. Experts say too many homeowners tolerate this situation for too long, which puts their homes at risk for electrical fire. Another often tolerated-too-long issue is when using one device causes another to switch off because you’ve blown a fuse. This is a sign you have a capacity or circuit box issue. Less dangerous but still signal-worthy are springy outlets that don’t hold plugs. If you have any of these issues, call in a licensed, reputable electrician.

5. Drafty doors and windows: Improperly sealed windows and doors will bring cold air inside during the winter and let cooled air out in the summer, costing you big bucks on your energy bill. An energy audit can tell you where your leaks are and how to seal them up.

6. Filter it out: HVAC experts say 60 percent of their service calls result from systems stressed by dirty air filters. Changing air filters regularly (every quarter or so; more if you have pets) can save you up to $100 each year on your energy bill, and will keep you from needing emergency repair. Many highly reputable heating and air conditioning companies offer maintenance plans that include an annual inspection. Doing this will give you an early alert to any issues you have with your entire HVAC system so you can stave off breakdowns.

7. Pump it up: Take a look at your sump pump from time to time. If it’s in good shape and its batteries are good, it could save you thousands of dollars in flood damage. But you don’t want to find out it needs repairs after the water starts rising. Get an annual inspection from a plumbing expert and check the batteries at least quarterly.

Regular, easy maintenance will help you save energy – and money – and you can do a lot yourself. But you have to call in a professional for some things – anything electrical, for instance, and most plumbing. These are things that require training and expertise that most of us don’t have. Adding coolant to your central air conditioner is something you need a pro, for – all of these things require certification for a reason: done wrong, they lead to big problems.

Sump Pump, What is it?

A sump pump is a machine that is used to protect your basement and house from potential flooding. These machines remove water that has been collected over time or all of a sudden. This awesome piece of equipment is normally found in the basement of some homes in a area that is a potential flood zone so to speak. The reason I stated that this particular area can be a flood zone is basement are located under the ground and when rain starts to flow through the dirt that surrounds the basement some of the water can seep in. This can cause some serious damage to your precious equipment or items which you may have collected over the years.

Sump Pump, Why Do I Need It?

Imagine waking up in the middle of a cold night going downstairs to get a midnight snack or something of that nature just to find that your kitchen floor or basement bar is flooded and all of your furniture that you may have just purchased is now in ruins. Imagine having to use a mop bucket to dump as much water as you can out of your home. This is why people invest in a sump pump. These powerful machines can make your life much easier.

Taking Care of a Sump Pump

Just as any other machine this one needs to be taken good care of. If you do not take good care of this machine it could let you down. As I stated earlier in this piece you do not want to wake up to a flooded house. This would be a total nightmare. One of the things you can do to keep up the maintenance is to give it a simple look over every so often make sure all looks good. If the pump runs often then I would suggest you check it more. Make sure you give it a good cleaning to get rid of things that may be cough up in it from time to time.

Every home owner and business owner is going to have to eventually deal with drain problems. Just think for a moment about all of the appliances, sinks, and toilets that are constantly being used. Every single one of them has one thing in common. They all have a drain, and all of those drains lead to one large drain that is either connected to a sewer, or a septic tank system.

When it comes to drain clogs, time is not on your side

As time goes by, pipes and drains can become clogged with food and other debris. The hard water in Cincinnati is no help either. It can cause lime scale build-up which can clog drains too. Tree roots have also been known to grow through pipes and clog drains. With all of the stuff that gets flushed down the drains, it is really amazing that drain problems don’t happen more often, but when they do never think twice from calling your trusted Warren County plumbing contractor.

Call in a professional!

Store bought products or other home remedies can often just cause even more drain problems. The only proper way to fix any type of drain problem is to find the heart of the clog and remove it. Nixco Plumbing has been helping residents and businesses with their residential and commercial plumbing needs in Warren County for over 33 years. There is no drain clog that can stop them and their high tech equipment.

Go where the clog is

Nixco Plumbing can actually go inside your pipes and see what is causing the drain clog. Using high tech equipment that allows them to insert a small color camera deep into your homes pipes, gives them the advantage of seeing exactly what they are dealing with. It is generally never a very pretty site, but it will quickly put an end to what is causing the drain problems.

Man or machine?

It takes a plumber with the right experience to know when it is time to break out the machines. Stubborn clogs are like bad neighbors, they just never seem to go away. Using  drain cleaning machines will eliminate even the toughest drain clogs on the block. These machines will cut through the deepest clogs and also help prevent any clogs in the future.

It’s a busy time of year for Nixco Plumbing. In celebration of the holiday season, here is a new version of the 12 Days of Christmas.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my service professional fixed for me:

Twelve tangled lights

Eleven frozen pipes

Ten dishwashers spraying

Nine power cords fraying

Eight drips a leaking

Seven ovens overheating

Six breakers blowing

Five toilets overflowing

Four fridges not cooling

Three light bulbs bursting

Two drains clogging

And one service call to fix it all.

To keep the oven, garbage disposal and kitchen sink drain in good working condition this holiday season, cooks need to take some precautions before and after the holiday celebration.

Oven problems usually go unnoticed until the big meal is already inside the oven. A few minutes spent checking your kitchen appliances could save your holiday season.

The same goes for decorating your home. The holidays can be a joyous time, but we also need to be aware of the potential for electrical accidents and keep our families safe.

Here are the Top 5 Holiday Tips You Haven’t Thought Of:

Avoid running the self-cleaning cycle before a big holiday dinner.

Replace gaskets at the first sign of a leak or if moisture appears on outside of oven.

Ensure there is enough space around appliances to allow heat to escape.

Avoid pouring grease down the drain.

Throw leftovers in the trash or compost pile instead of putting down the garbage disposal.

During the holidays, and especially with a house full of guests, people also don’t realize how much food is going down their garbage disposal until it clogs the drain.
