Phoenix, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/23/2014 -- Boydco Plumbing, Inc., a Phoenix plumbing company, knows that a flooded kitchen can be a huge headache for homeowners. To help relieve homeowners' stress, Boydco Plumbing is offering up their best tips for dealing with a flooded kitchen.

The BEST thing to do is to act fast. Moving quickly in the time following a flooded kitchen will determine how much damage will be done. Here are the top 3 things to do to make sure a home has a fighting chance against water damage.

-Shut Off the Water Immediately
This may seem like a no-brainer, but in the heat of the moment, during a flooding catastrophe, a homeowner's mind might not be working properly. Take a deep breath, find the water shut off valve and turn it off as soon as possible.

- Move As Much Furniture as Possible to a Dry Area
Wooden table legs will rot if left in water too long. This applies to cabinets as well so if any standing water has reached the cabinets, work on getting them dry first. Move anything that is fragile and could be damaged by water.

-Remove As Much Water As Possible
There's a few ways to handle flood water, either by mop, towels or a wet/dry shop vac. DO NOT use a regular vacuum. It is not meant for liquid and will more than likely be ruined if used on water.

Step 4? Call a plumber if the flood was caused by faulty plumbing or a leak that needs professional help.

Phoenix, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/20/2014 -- Boydco Plumbing, a Phoenix plumbing company, is excited to share their expert tips on how to prolong the life of water heaters.

People clean their counters, they empty the trash, and scrub the tub, but what about their water heaters? Most people don't give them a second thought.

As a plumbing company in Phoenix, AZ, Boydco Plumbing sees a lot of water heater disasters, many of which could have been avoided if homeowners only took the time to properly care for their heaters.

To prolong the life of water heaters and steer clear of any future headaches, Boydco Plumbing recommends draining and flushing water heaters every year. That's because sediment and calcium deposits can build up over time. In some cases, the sediment will travel to fixtures,such as sink faucets, lavatory faucets, and shower heads, causing them to deteriorate sooner.

If sediments are allowed to build up in a water heater, they can cause:

-More wear and tear on the water heater, resulting in more expense

-More strain on gas heaters because the heaters have to heat through the sediment at the bottom of the tank, which requires extra energy

-A shorter lifespan for the water heater

Just like a car needs a yearly tune up, so does a water heater. Remember to drain and flush tanks annually to help it perform at its very best and last for years to come.

For help draining and flushing your water heater, call Boydco Plumbing at 602-335-0323.
