A sump pump requires regular maintenance to function properly. We recommend that your sump pump be serviced and cleaned quarterly (every 3 months) to make sure your basement or crawl space remains dry and prevent excess ground or rainwater from entering your home.
More comprehensive sump pump maintenance is recommended on an annual basis. The maintenance needs of your sump pump can differ depending on how your sump pump is used.
The benefits of a tankless water heater include getting better energy efficiency, saving money by lowering your energy bills, saving space, and more reliable hot water. Tankless water heaters also last longer than tank water heaters and require more maintenance.

Yes, flushable wipes are bad for plumbing and should not be flushed down your toilet. While they can be physically flushed, they will likely end up getting stuck somewhere along your plumbing system. Eventually, these wipes will build up and clog your plumbing.
We recommend looking into other toilet paper alternatives that won't mess up your plumbing and still give you a good clean such as a bidet.
