So, you’re ready to invest in new gutters for your home. That’s great, because a solid working gutter system can help keep you home safe from damage rainwater can cause.
Gutters keep your home’s paint from molding and cracking after rainwater curls under the eaves. And if rainwater pools on the ground by your foundation it can flood your basement.
With this kind of damage that can happen to your house without gutters – or a gutter system that isn’t working properly – it makes purchasing new gutters perfect sense.
Before you buy, you’ll need to consider a few things, like what type of material your gutter should be made from to work best for your home. And you’ll also need to think about the gutter shape and whether or not you need to have the gutters installed by a professional.
To help take the guessing work out of gutter purchasing, here are answers to common questions you may have before purchasing your gutters.
Remember: With the right gutters, your home’s foundation can stay free of leaks which can lead to costly plumbing repairs.
What material should I choose for my gutters?
When it comes to choosing a gutter material, you’ve got several options.
Vinyl gutters are very popular thanks to their low-cost and because they are easy to install. In fact, if you have a one-story home, you may be able to install them yourself. These gutters are best for homes in mild climates, because they are prone to breakage in extreme cold weather. Still, vinyl gutters are better than no gutters and they work fine if you’re watching your pocketbook.
Aluminum gutters are light-weight and are weather-resistant, making them some of the most popular types of gutters today. They are easy to paint and can withstand very cold weather.
Another popular type of gutter are made from zinc. These are affordable, and extremely durable. Over time, they form a patina – similar to the patina copper gutters form – that offer protection to the outer layer of the gutter.
Steel and copper gutters are also growing in popularity, especially galvanized steel gutters. These are stronger than aluminum gutters and will withstand damage from things like tree branches better than aluminum gutters.
Copper gutters are the most expensive, typically. But they are the most durable and look great on older homes.
What gutter shape should I choose?
Two of the most poplar shapes are K style and half-rounded gutters. K style gutters are the most popular on homes and feature a shape that looks a lot like crown molding.
Half round gutters have a curled front side, and typically drain water better than K style gutters.
Do I need gutters professionally installed?
That depends. If you’re adding sections of gutters made from vinyl or aluminum that you bought at a home improvement store it is perfectly fine to install them yourself, although if your home is more than two stories we recommend you get help from a professional who can install them safely.
For steel or copper gutters, and for seamless gutters, you’ll need to contact a professional who can custom cut the gutters to fit your home.
How often do I need to replace my gutters?
This depends on the type of material you chose. Aluminum and vinyl gutters will need to be replaced every few years while copper and steel gutters can last a lifetime.
How often do I have to clean my gutters?
You’ll need to clean your gutters at least once a year, however, we recommend cleaning them more if you live under trees or in an area with a lot of natural debris.
With just a little planning, you can choose a gutter system that works great for your home and keeps costly plumbing problems at bay. Call or Contact the at Allied Reddi-Rooter, 513-396-5300.

Follow these tips to make sure a plumbing problem won’t ruin your summer vacation
When it’s time to hit the road or the skies for summer vacation, the last thing you want worry about is your home’s plumbing. Before you head out for the getaway you’ve been looking forward to, it’s a very good idea to check your home’s plumbing.
Just a few simple changes and checks can save you money on your utility bills and help you avoid costly repairs. And it will give you the peace of mind from knowing that while you’re away, your home’s plumbing is working the way it should be.
Take a look at the checklist we’ve created to help you get your plumbing as vacation ready as you are.
Shut off water main – This is the source of all water entering your home through your home’s plumbing. New homes will have a handle that takes a simple quarter-turn to close and open. Older homes will have a knob like any exterior faucet. It is a good idea to know where this shut off valve is located for both extended periods away and when a water emergency happens.
Open faucets – Do this on your lower levels to relieve all water pressure throughout the home.
Check the gutters – Do an inspection of the gutters before you leave and clean out any debris including leaves and tree sticks. This will ensure that your gutters can handle rains while you’re away, so your home’s foundation stays safe.
Turn off the water heater – Tank water heaters, whether natural gas or electricity, use quite a bit of energy. To lower your utility bills while you’re away, turn off the hot water heater on either the main shutoff handle or the circuit panel. Or, check to see if your heater has a vacation setting you can take advantage of instead.
Unless there will be freezing temperatures while you’re gone, there is no risk to turning off your water heater – you’ll just have a little more money to spend on your vacation. Not sure you want to turn the water heater completely off? Consider keeping it at the lowest setting instead.
Drain the washing machine and dishwasher – This is a good idea to avoid mildew and mold that can accumulate if there’s even a small amount of moisture or water in them that hasn’t drained. Consider keeping the doors to the washing machine and dishwasher open as well.
Don’t turn off the pool pump – If the pool pump isn’t working, it will cause algae to build up. Instead, keep it running on an optimal setting while you are gone.
Drain your sprinkler system – If you’re not planning on watering your lawn with your sprinklers while you’re away, drain the system and shut it off. This will avoid a higher water bill due to a leak in the sprinkler system which can happen even if the leak is a small one.
Clean interior drains – Make sure all of the drains in your home – from the bathrooms to the kitchen – are clean. A store bought, environmentally-friendly drain cleaner can work wonders to keep bacteria and odor at bay.
Call a friend – Have someone check on your home. Ask a friend or neighbor to check on your home while you’re on vacation. You may even consider giving them a checklist of things you want them to check to make sure everything is working properly. Be sure to give them your plumber’s contact information so they can get in touch with a professional if there’s a plumbing issue that needs to be addressed quickly.
Don’t let a plumbing problem get in the way of some well-deserved downtime. Follow our simple summer vacation plumbing check list, sit back, and relax. The team at Allied Reddi-Rooter has you covered. Call or Contact the at Allied Reddi-Rooter, 513-396-5300. We always come highly recommended and have earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau for our expert quality of service.
We know it can be very tempting to attempt to tackle your home’s plumbing problems on your own, but in most cases, it’s a job best let to professionals. Sure, do-it-yourself plumbing repair may save you a few bucks at first, but mistakes can be costly, especially if you do more damage to your plumbing than was there in the first place.
Instead of do-it-yourself, we suggest don’t-do-it-yourself instead. When you have a plumbing problem, you’re better off calling the team at Allied Reddi-Rooter. That way, you can be confident your plumbing will be in top shape, so you can focus on fun DIY home projects that won’t break with bank with costly repairs if something goes wrong.
Still interested in going it alone when it comes to plumbing repair? If you must, then stick with simple, easy jobs. If you’re considering tackling one of these five plumbing problems on your own, you should absolutely leave it to professionals.
Five Plumbing Problems to Never DIY
Gas Line Repair – This one is at the top of the list for good reason. Gas leaks in your home can be very dangerous. If you’re reading this because you’re considering a repair for what you think is a gas leak, leave the premise (with your family and pets), go to a friend or neighbor’s home, and contact us immediately.
We’re trained to find the gas leak and fix it safely. And we will also check to find the source of the gas leak to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Frozen Pipes – Ideally, you’re going to want to have your home’s pipes inspected before the temperatures drop, especially if the plumbing in your home is older. But if winter rolls around and your pipes do freeze, attempting quick-fix on your own can be a bad idea. Why? Because the more the pipes freeze and thaw, the weaker they become, which makes them more susceptible to burst.
Pipe Rerouting – Never try to reroute pipes on your own. Your home’s pipe system is complex, and just one small mistake made when changing your home’s pipe routing can cause big problems. If you’re adding a room to your home or doing a major home remodel that requires additional plumbing, call a professional. We can do the job efficiently and properly to avoid damage to your home’s infrastructure.
Sewer Repair – We’re not sure why you’d want to perform DIY sewer pipe repair, but if you’re considering it, let us explain why it’s a bad idea. Not only does sewer repair require expensive, special heavy tools, but it also requires a digging permit to ensure you don’t damage underground sewer, gas and electricity lines that can put your family and your neighbors at risk.
Subterranean repair is best left to professionals. We can assess the best places to dig and repair and can maybe even find a solution that requires no digging at all.
New Water Heater – Never attempt to install an electric water heater on your own because its high-voltage can lead to serious injury if you make a mistake. Additionally, gas water heaters improperly installed can cause leaks. Call us instead. We will make sure the heater is installed correctly to make sure you and your family stay safe. And we’ll even recycle your old one.
Remember, it’s always best to leave plumbing repairs to the professionals. Sit back, relax, and let us do the work. That way, you can be assured you and your family will stay safe, and you’ll avoid any additional repairs. Call or Contact the at Allied Reddi-Rooter, 513-396-5300.

1. Garbage Disposal Has Stopped Chomping
Clogged or jammed garbage disposals can be easy repairs to make. First, never insert a hand into your disposal. Turn your power main off at the circuit breaker box. Look under your sink for a loose hex tool that came with the disposal. If it is long gone, they are available at any hardware store. On the bottom of the disposal is a hole in the center. Insert the hex key and turn one full turn in both directions. If one direction is frozen there is likely something jammed in the grinding mechanism. USE CAUTION and shine a flashlight down the disposal opening. If you can locate an obstruction use a magnet wand or extension pliers to carefully extract the object. Try the hex key again. If it turns freely in both directions you are probably good-to-go. Next, look for a small red button on the bottom and press it to to reset the unit. Turn the power back on. Turn your sink faucet on. Test the disposal. If you hear grinding or if the unit remains frozen call a plumber for further repair or replacement.
Tip: For long life make sure you know what types of foods are intended for garbage disposals and what foods will wear or cause damage to it.
2. Kitchen Sink Sprayer – on the fritz with no spritz
First, shut the hot and cold water off under the sink. If this is not possible, shut off the main water valve to your home. Then turn on the faucet to relieve any remaining water pressure. This is really simple fix if you have a detachable hose. You can find this out by attempting to unscrew the sprayer from the hose. If detachable, the sprayer should have a threaded cap that attaches it to the hose. First, buy a replacement sprayer that matches the finish and style of your existing fixture at your hardware store. Study the hose/sprayer connect. Disconnect or unscrew as needed. Install new sprayer and reassemble reversing your disassembly process. If you have a one-piece hose/sprayer, you will need a crescent wrench. From under your sink, follow the sprayer water feed line to where it joins the sink faucet mounting bracket. Unscrew and remove the old hose from above. Install new in reverse order adding plumbers tape to the male threads. Turn water back on. Done.
3. Caulking – Gaining The Perfect Edge
There is a newer option here, and an old one that both give you a professional look.
Caulk Tape – It comes in a roll and in different colors. You simply peel the backing, lightly press in place and let dry. Here is a video on application: https://youtu.be/HwxkS3WCMbA
Tube Caulk – There are many different kinds for home repairs. Make sure you check the label and purchase caulk that is designed for water related fixtures. You will need a caulk gun for your project and a secret weapon – Painter’s tape! There is a little labor at the front-end as you have to mask off all joints where you will apply caulk. Remove old caulk carefully with a razor knife and clean excess with mineral spirits as best as possible. Apply painters tape on both sides leaving a even gap. Apply the caulk, spreading it evenly with your figure or spreading tool. Let dry. Peel the low-tack tape and reveal a sharp edge. Simple! Here is a video on applying tube caulk with this method: https://youtu.be/Mki76u9ByRs
4. Showerhead replacement – what a difference it makes
For starters, If your showerhead is 10-15 years old, by installing a new one, you can save a sizable amount on your water bill – 20-30% is not unreasonable. In addition to conservation benefits, today’s showerheads have more options and better spray patterns. This is one quick fix that will have you saying, “It feels like I’m on vacation!” The next time you bathe.
American showerhead pipes have a one-size-fits-all opening of 1/2” so buy the style that fits your taste without worry of not being able to install it. You will need plumbers tape, steel wool and an adjustable crescent wrench for the replacement. First, place a folded towel in the tub to catch any objects that could be dropped. Remember, if you drop the wrench you will also have a porcelain repair ahead of you. Unscrew the old fixture carefully with your crescent wrench. Clean the pipe threads with steel wool to remove sediment. Take a 2-3” piece of the plumbers tape and wrap it around the threads. Use just enough to make completely circle the pipe. Gently thread your new showerhead on by hand as far as possible. Use the crescent wrench to tighten until snug. Simple!
5. Running Toilet – catching it is easy
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty fill valve in the tank. If your toilet either runs constantly or refills intermittently, this is your culprit. You can purchase a complete fill valve kit from any hardware store. First, shut the feed valve off under the toilet where the water pipe comes though the wall. Remove the cover to the tank being careful not to drop it (fragile). Flush the toilet to drain most of the water. Use an old towel to soak up all of the remaining water. From under the toilet tank, unscrew by hand or with a crescent wrench the water feed tube and the two wing nuts or bolts holding the valve in place. Lift the old valve out and put the new one in place reversing the removal process. Be sure not to over-tighten the two screws/wing nut mounts. Turn the water feed back on for a few seconds putting a couple of inches of water in the tank to test the water seal. If sealed, open the valve completely and test flush. Ahhh…The sound of silence.

Did you know that Memorial Day was born out of the American Civil War? Shortly after its end the U.S. Government in an effort to reunite our people, declared May 28 as Decoration Day. The intent was to ask Americans to decorate graves of those killed in the war in an attempt to unite America once again and offer a salute to those who gave everything. The day was designed to occur during peak blooming season to display the grandeur of nature’s renewal and the beauty of America that so many had lost of our decimating Civil War. The event was originally planned for Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. but quickly spread nationwide.
Allied hopes that we will not just look at the date as the kick-off to summer, or just another 3-day weekend. Instead, take a moment to study the meaning of our special Memorial Day and honor its messages of sacrifice, service, pride and commemoration. One great reference for better understanding of Memorial Day can be found on military.com, a highly respected point-of-reference for all things military.

So, you’ve got a leaky toilet or are taking cold showers. The first thing most homeowners do is head to the internet or tattered old phone book. That can be a mistake if you need help fast. Every plumber can have someone there fast, but with what fees attached for that speedy arrival, and with what possible discounts missed in your haste to get the repair done? Take a few moments to read the following list of things that can save you time, money and headaches on your next plumbing repair.
1. Does the plumber offer over-the-phone quotes?
You should be able to get an “estimated” cost by phone before a technician comes to your home. For 90% of home plumbing repairs, the plumber has performed this work countless times and has a price structure for it. If they want to come out to assess what it will cost to stop a toilet from running, look further for your plumber.
2. Does the plumber offer free in-home estimates?
Not every repair can be quoted with confidence over the phone. Even some small repairs can require a more in-depth analysis to give an estimate. Some plumbers charge to come out to your home to inspect the issue. Some do not charge. Be sure to ask if in-home estimates are a free service.
3. Does the plumber charge extra for nights, weekends and holiday work?
Again, some do charge overtime for traditional off-hours and some don’t. Some additionally charge for mileage. It pays to ask.
4. Does the plumber charge a Service Call Fee?
This one irks this plumber. We view service call fees for the most part as a way for plumbers to pad their profit. Allied looks at it this way… We consider our company fortunate that a customer has chosen us over other plumbers. Plus the customer has confirmed that they are hiring us because our fee is reasonable to them. Billing an extra fee just for us to show up is insulting in our opinion.
Some plumbers still use this add-on fee for every customer and advertise it as if their $59 fee is an advantage over another plumber’s $69 fee. Some plumbers have chosen to drop this old practice. Always ask how the plumber’s service call fee is applied.
Note: When a plumber’s fee is approved, the work is scheduled, and the tech has arrived, if access to the repair is not provided, or the customer has a change of heart and declines the agreed service for any reason, then a service call fee is in always applicable.
5. Does the plumber offer free advice
Some plumbers utilize separate call centers to field calls. You may be referred to someone else in a callback to get answers to your questions with this business model, or get no answer at all. That’s not a good option when water is overflowing. Other plumbers (like Allied) have a team in the office during regular business hours that are there to initiate your call, provide phone estimates and timely advice. They can help you work through simple fixes or stopgaps to stabilize the situation.
6. Does the plumber offer added incentive deals?
It’s a great feeling when the price quoted is a good one. It’s an even better feeling when you discover the incentives page that lowers that price even more. Some plumbers offer incentives. Some don’t. Always ask if you don’t see them in the plumber’s advertising. Use those coupons and realize the savings.

Freeze, thaw, repeat. Uh-oh….no go.
The recent frigid weather really does a number on the underground water and sewer piping that runs from your home to the city’s connections at the street. These freeze-thaw-refreeze cycles causes the ground to shift; such movements are hard for cast iron or clay tile pipes to handle. As a result, many homeowners are finding that their service connections may have become compromised, creating disruptions in water service, leaks at the foundation level, or worse – sewage backups (either in the house or in the yard).
Water and Sewer Line Maintenance – Who’s Responsible?
Nearly always, the property owner Is responsible for maintaining the water and sewer lines connecting the “premises” to the “city mains.” This connection typically is near the point where the street meets the sidewalk or curb.
What Happens if I Don’t Make the Repair?
Flooding (think about what’s in THAT wet spot on the ground, eeewww), basement backups, and groundwater contamination, to name a few things. Additionally, property owners that fail to make repairs may be in violation of local and state health codes.
Water and Sewer Line Repair: Well Worth the Cost whether it’s your home, your apartment building, or your business, a fully functioning sanitation system provides good health to everyone involved.

Freeze, Thaw, Rain, Snow, Leaky Basement, Repeat
Well, we’re all in the soup this week – melting snow, swampy yards, and more rain/snow in the forecast. During the next few days and weeks, sump pump maintenance, repair and even replacement is crucial to keeping your home dry.
Below are a few tips
· Locate the Discharge Hose and Cleanout Cap – Look along the exterior wall for the point where the discharge hose exits your home’s foundation. Keep the area clear of debris, especially if it’s below grade. Freezes can happen quickly, causing burst pipes.
· Prevent Pump Motor Burn Out – Remove the discharge hose during your fall winterizing preparations. Water can freeze inside the hose, causing the pump to run continuously, which will shorten the pump’s life considerably.
· Video Tip: Avoid Sump Discharge Hose Freeze Up – Sump pump hoses can freeze up, with disastrous results. This 5-minute video explains what to look for and how to unfreeze a frozen sump pump hose.
· Anti-Freeze is a No-No – Never use chemicals in the sump crock and anti-freeze in particular should be avoided at all costs. It’s a tasty, deadly temptation for house pets and small children.
· Leave the pump plugged in, always. That’s the best way to ensure the pump runs when it needs to.
Additional Pump Maintenance Tips
• Install a sewer backflow prevention valve if sewage backup may be a potential issue for you.
• Ensure all pump discharge water flows away from your home’s foundation.
• Install a battery backup to keep your sump working in the event of a winter weather-related power failure.

Flushing is fun, until you flush the wrong thing (or too much of a flushable thing). We’ve all felt the panic that sets in when flushing goes wrong — the whole toilet experience goes right down the drain (see what we did there?).
To keep your toilet in good running order, below are 8 things to never flush, no matter how tempting it seems.
1. Litter box poop
Ever notice how it gets all dried out and hard from sitting in litter? That’s a poop format that’s real bad for your toilet pipes, which are design for soft, soluble poop. Instead of flushing solid animal waste, double-bag it and dispose of it in a waste can.
2. Grease
The last place grease or oil should go is down the toilet or any other household drain. Although it may be liquid going down, the grease will cool and turn into a solid mass. That’s the kind of blockage that can only be broken professional assistance.
3. “Flushable” wipes
The “flushable” moniker is 100% fake news. Only official toilet paper is built to disintegrate in toilets and septic/sewer systems. Wipes, although they are made of paper, are designed to be long-lasting and sturdy. Use enough flushable wipes over time and you will no longer be flushing.
4. Dental floss
Apparently, there are people in the world that actually floss, then toss the floss into the toilet. Floss never dissolves and can accumulate within your water pipes over time, creating an ad hoc fish-net that can trap the real flushables and cause problematic toilet clogs.
5. Hair
Think of hair as a more organic and furry version of dental floss. It doesn’t dissolve, sticks to everything, floats in water, and is a clog waiting to happen. Whether it’s a loose weave or a handful of used hair pieces from your hair brush, always toss excess hair into the trash can.
6. Hygiene products (including diapers of any kind)
The only paper product that should go down the toilet is toilet paper. Hygiene products are made to absorb rather than disintegrate.
7. Paper towels/Paper napkins/empty toilet paper tubes
See # 6. If it’s not TP, don’t flush it.
8. Dead fish, mice, other small critters
“Burials at sea” take place in the ocean, not the toilet. A dead animal in the toilet pipes can create a nasty and costly clog. Take a few minutes and have a real funeral or dispose of the deceased by double bagging it and placing it in a garbage receptacle.
8.5. Teddy Bears
Water You Waiting For? Most toilet clogs are easily fixed by handy DIY-ers with a plunger. But if you find that your toilet is clogging on a regular basis, it may be time to replace the toilet with a new model or have a visual inspection of your main drain line to determine if there is a blockage along the way.

During the cold months, we love our layers. And we’re not just talking long johns, either. We’re talking about layering up our water pipes and water heaters with insulation to help them retain heat, prevent frozen pipes and reduce our water heating costs.
Why Worry about Frozen Pipes?
It’s not the frozen pipe that does damage, it’s the frozen pipe that bursts (frozen water expands and puts pressure on the copper or PVC piping). When thawing eventually occurs, the pipe leak at the burst point (frequently undetected), potentially creating thousands of dollars’ worth of damage in a short amount of time.
Water Pipe Insulation – It’s an Inside, DIY Job
Besides protection against water damage, insulating your pipes is a pretty straightforward effort – ideal for the novice DIY-er.
The experts at energy.gov offer the following thoughts on pipe insulation:
· Insulated hot water pipes reduce heat loss and can raise water temperature by 2°F–4°F hotter (as compared to uninsulated pipes), which allows consumers to lower the setting on their water heater.
· Insulating water pipes is an excellent DIY project (that’s the most cost-effective approach).
· Research your insulation needs – various insulation materials are available (pipe wrap, foam and fiberglass insulation are a few examples).
· Do some math – measure the length of the pipes to be insulated to determine how much insulation to purchase.
· Do a little more math — Measure the pipe diameter to ensure you purchase the right size
· When insulating water heater pipes, be aware of the different requirements for gas vs. electric water heaters. According to energy.gov, “for electric water heaters, pipe sleeves made with polyethylene or neoprene foam are the most commonly used insulation. For gas water heaters, insulation should be kept at least 6 inches from the flue. If pipes are within 8 inches of the flue, your safest choice is to use fiberglass pipe-wrap (at least 1-inch thick) without a facing. You can use either wire or aluminum foil tape to secure it to the pipe.”
