Cave Creek, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/13/2014 -- Arizona is finally beginning its decent into cooler weather here in Scottsdale which means it will be tempting to turn up the temperature on the water heater. There's nothing better than a nice warm shower or bath after a cool day.

Tammy Wadina, owner of the Scottsdale plumbing company, is reminding people to make sure it isn't turned up too high. Scalding is a very real danger when changing the temperature on water heaters. It's recommended to never exceed 140 degrees. Also, it's important to warn everyone in the home that the temperature has been raised and to be cautious when using hot water.

It's also advised to use professional help if there's not someone in the home familiar with water heaters. On My Way Plumbing says it's better to be safe than sorry!

Cave Creek, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/19/2014 -- Tammy Wadina from On My Way (OMW) Plumbing is back to share her expert tips on all things plumbing related.

This month Tammy reveals the various ways to handle a clogged bathroom sink.

First of all, most bathroom sinks become clogged because of hair, soap and toothpaste. To remove the debris from a sink, a homeowner should try the following:

1. Remove the clog using a baking soda and vinegar solution.
2. Remove the p-trap and clear the drain.
3. If the clog is below the p-trap use a mechanical snake to clear the pipe
4. If this fails to solve the problem, call a plumber.

Cave Creek, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/15/2014 -- During these hot, dry months in Arizona it can be hard to detect leaks. As water leaks out, it dries almost instantly. Bigger leaks that would usually result in puddles or mud outside of your home can dry before being identified. Spending a day acting as a plumbing detective to check for leaks could save one time and money.

Tammy Wadina, owner of OMW Plumbing in Scottsdale, AZ, is giving out tips to help check for leaks this summer.

Besides the obvious leaks from a faucet or other household plumbing fixture, there are other ways to find leaks. Listening can be the best way to find smaller leaks. Hissing sounds or the slightest sound of running water can be a clue as to what is leaking and where. Lift the tank off of a toilet and listen for any indication that water is continuing to run after flushing.

As homeowners check for leaks, pay close attention to the areas around the home. Random patches of extra green grass or dried mud patches can point to a water leak. If a homeowner suspects a leak, finding it for the plumber can greatly reduce the diagnostic costs.

Cave Creek, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/16/2014 -- Everyone knows that cars need a tune up from time to time, but not everyone knows that plumbing materials also need a tune up.

Tammy Wadina, owner of OWM Plumbing in Scottsdale, AZ, is offering up her expertise and reminding homeowners to check on their plumbing valves and supply lines.

Most home appliances, like toilets, faucets, dishwashers, refrigerators, etc. connect to a water line and could be a potential source of a water leak.

If that happens, Tammy recommends shutting off the specific valve, instead of shutting off the main water supply line.

She also recommends checking on and replacing any old or worn supply lines even if no water leak has occurred. By doing this, homeowners can prevent future water leaks from occurring.

Scottsdale, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/03/2014 -- Question: What's the only thing hotter than Arizona summers?

Answer: Water heaters in Arizona summers

OMW Plumbing, a local Scottsdale plumbing company, wants residents to be aware that boiling hot summer temperatures can take a significant toll on their water heaters.

Generally, a high quality water heater lasts anywhere from 8 to 12 years. However, the life cycle of a water heater can be significantly reduced due to a variety of different factors. To extend the life cycle of water heaters, OMW recommends the following

- Remove sediment and debris from the water tank
- Drain a quarter of your tank a few times a year
- Activate vacation settings on water heaters (if applicable) when out of town
- Lower temperatures during the summer months so that the water heater doesn't have to work as hard

Finally, to avoid any water heating disasters, OMW reminds residents to check the supply line for any leaks. While this won't extend the life of water heaters, it will help homeowners steer clear of any stress and frustration in the future.

For more information about water heaters or to speak to a plumbing specialist about a specific water heater problem, call (602) 741-7918 or visit OMW Plumbing online.

Scottsdale, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/28/2014 -- Your local Scottsdale plumbers want to remind residents that popsicles should be the only thing dripping in the Arizona heat, not faucets or pipes.

In a state where drought is a major concern, every drop of water counts, especially water that isn't used. A leaky faucet in an average home can waste more than 10,000 gallons of water every year.

Related: Facts on Water Leaks

Often, these leaks can go undetected. To prevent water from being wasted and future headaches for homeowners, OMW Plumbing is offering up three tell-tale signs of a water leak.

1. The floor is unusually warm.

The floor, either carpet or tile, will be alarmingly warm in one spot. The high temperature of the floor is likely due to an undetected leak below the surface. While a warm floor may not seem like a big deal, it could be an indication that something is critically wrong underneath the surface.

2. Your water bill will skyrocket.

Imagine your dollar bills spiraling down the sink, one right after the other every few seconds. That's what happens when you have a leaky faucet or pipe. Every drop of water is a drop in your checking account. A water leak will likely cause your water bill to shoot up, sometimes doubling or tripling in cost.

3. Your outside water meter will spin...even with no water running inside.

If there's no water running throughout your house, yet your outside water meter is spinning, this most likely means that you have a water leak. A spinning water meter with no visible water running inside is a classic sign that there is a hidden water leak within the home.

As you're soaking in the pool this summer, take some time to make sure your home isn't getting a secret soak of its own. While a water leak may seem like a minor problem, it can lead to a colossal nightmare if left untreated.
