Professional Plumber vs. a Handyman.

Keeping a residence or commercial business in good condition is a tough job.  Water pipes may leak, toilets can overflow, and other plumbing problems occur in the blink of an eye.  Property owners may also do common tasks that handymen do such as mow lawns, repair windows, clean gutters, painting, etc.

In simplistic terms, a handyman is someone who works with their hands.  A handyman is hired to execute repairs and keep the home or business in good condition.  On the other hand, a plumber’s training is more extensive and requires a formal education.  Most qualified plumbers go through a long apprenticeship program and learn specific state and municipal plumbing codes.

When you factor in the equipment, knowledge, training, and all of the intangibles the obvious choice is nearly always…hire a professional plumber!  We have a great one in the Bensalem, PA area.  That’s Joe Canty of All Drains Plumbing.  Have 2020 plumbing repair vision in the new year call Joe at (484) 591-1862.

Top Holiday Events & Attractions in Philadelphia’s Countryside

The holiday season brings out the best in Philadelphia’s Countryside with long-standing traditions, annual celebrations and wildly impressive colorful light displays.

 

The Founding of Bensalem Township.

Perhaps other parts of the U.S. know about neighboring Philadelphia and little else.  Those around Bensalem, PA know that their tradition goes back to the 17th century before there was a United States of America.  Our township seal states that the town was established in 1692, but as far back as 1670, the land was surveyed for residency on orders of the governor.

Joseph Growden was one of the original landowners and his legacy lives on even to this day.  Soon after he arrived, he built himself a beautiful residence on the northern part of his manor in Bensalem.  Just a bit later, more English colonists would immigrate into the township and influence it.

Yes, Bensalem, Pennsylvania is rich in history.  Today, when people need plumbing work done here or anywhere around Bucks and Montgomery counties they call Joe Canty.  Joe is the owner of All Drains Plumbing.  From all of the Canty family to all of you in our beautiful, historic area Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season.

Is it Time to Replace your Bathroom Toilet?

Yes, it wears out just like anything else in your home.  Many of us limp along with a leaky or less than efficient toilet in our bathroom because we don’t spend a lot of time in there during the course of the day.  This time of year, you may have visitors who will be using that toilet during the holidays.  The problem will only get worse!

Here are some of the things that will be necessary in replacing that old bowl –

1.  Measure carefully from the back wall to the bolts that secure the bowl to the floor.
2.  Turn off the water supply and flush all of the water from the tank.
3.  Once you know that the flange is in good shape, you can install the new toilet.
4.  Check to see that the new toilet is NOT wobbling.

Does any of this sound like a DIY project?  For most of us, probably not!  If you live in Bucks County around the Bensalem area you need the expertise of a plumber you can trust.  That means the 20+ years of toilet replacement experience that you find from Joe Canty representing All Drains Plumbing.  Before the holiday rush give Joe a call at (484) 591-1862.
