plumbing disaster

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why is it that plumbing issues never happen at a convenient time- assuming, that there a convenient time for plumbing problems. It seems that plumbing issue strike at the most inopportune moments, like when you have a houseful of guests for the holidays, or in the middle of the night. It can be very stressful and expensive to hire an emergency plumber to come and rescue you, and you may even consider attempting to tackle the problem on your own. The plumbers at Clarke & Rush strongly urge you to consider the potential hazards of turning a plumbing emergency into your next DIY project.

What Could Go Wrong?

Clarke & Rush plumbers train and apprentice for years to become qualified in repairing and installing the appliances, fixtures and pipes that make up your home’s plumbing system. Our plumbers arrive at every job prepared with knowledge and experience most do-it-yourselfers do not possess. They also are current with the latest building codes, technology and solutions.

Frequently, repairing a clogged drain or leaky pipe involves much more than simply identifying the problem. The experience Clarke & Rush plumbers have enables them to accurately diagnose any plumbing issue they may encounter, and develop the appropriate solution for any given situation. To be honest, having an experienced professional inspect your plumbing is the best way to keep small issues from turning into major disasters.

Sacramento home and business owners hold the common belief that commercially available chemical drain cleaners are a wonderful solution to all of their clogged drains. These chemicals, however can be incredibly dangerous, and may actually damage plumbing, fixtures, and surfaces if spilled or used improperly. It’s much wiser to have a professional determine the cause of the clog and remove it entirely. It is common knowledge that water damage can be just as expensive as any other home disaster. Replacing flooring, walls, and maybe even the foundation of your home is bound to be far more expensive than investing in a qualified, experienced plumber to resolve your plumbing issues.

Locate the Trane Data Plate

Find the manufacturer information label on your Trane air conditioner. The data plate is typically located on the outdoor condenser cabinet near the refrigerant lines or electrical access panel.

Find the Serial Number

Identify the serial number printed on the data plate. The serial number may contain both letters and numbers depending on the age of the unit.

Identify the Serial Number Format

Determine whether your Trane system uses a newer numeric serial number format or an older alphanumeric format. Most modern Trane systems use the first two digits for the year and the next two digits for the production week.

Decode the Manufacture Date

Read the first four digits of the serial number to determine the production year and manufacturing week. For example, serial number 15234ABC indicates the unit was manufactured during the 23rd week of 2015.

Verify the System Age

Compare the manufacture date with your installation paperwork, maintenance records, or warranty information to confirm the approximate age of the air conditioning system.
