If you have a slow draining sink that’s resisted all your efforts to fix it, call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

Your bathroom sink has been draining slowly for months and you’ve basically ignored the situation. But when you were getting dressed to go to the fitness workout in Sims Park the other day, you decided you’d let it go on too long.

You used a plunger but that didn’t help. Now you’re stuck and not sure what to do. Assuming it’s not hair clogging the drain, one solution, according to aparetmenttherapy.com, is to use a combination of baking soda, vinegar and boiling water. Bascially, you pour (or stuff if your stopper is in the way) some baking soda in (about half a cup) the drain. Then you follow with some vinegar (about half a cup). You’ll get a pretty amazing fizz. After a minute or two, carefully pour boiling water down the drain.

If that doesn’t take care of the problem, you might have a hair clog, or something stuck farther down the system. Your best move is to call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

Billy the Sunshine Plumber has been the go-to plumber in the Tampa Bay area for almost a century – since he opened in 1924.

There are many things you should not flush down the toilet or drain. If you do and your pipes get clogged, call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

When you were headed out for a bit of bicycling on the Suncoast Trail this morning, you passed some county public works employees pulling a manhole cover off a drain in the street. You briefly wondered what was wrong, then forgot about it. When you returned home several hours later they were gone.

They could have been doing many things. Among those is cleaning the sewer line to help with drainage. That’s especially important during hurricane season when you want to get the rain water moved away as fast as possible to help prevent flooding. The sewer cleaning, if that’s what it was, could have been routine or the workers could have been responding to a clog.

Yes, city and county sewer systems clog. In fact, some of the clogs are so big – like a recent one in England – that they’ve earned the name “fatberg.” When a fatberg forms, it tends to be made up of the same stuff that gums up the plumbing in your home.

“The dirty secrets of a huge fatberg discovered lurking under the seafront of a Devon town have been laid bare after scientists carried out an ‘autopsy’ of the monster,” according to a story in the Guardian. “As expected, household cooking fats, wet wipes and other hygiene products were key components of the 64 m-long beast (bigger than the Leaning Tower of Pisa) but it also contained bits of bone, twigs, string – and false teeth.

“Happily, it did not contain any detectable levels of toxic chemicals, and the scientists who examined lumps of it could not apportion blame for it to any particular businesses, neighborhoods or groups. It appears to have been very much a community effort.”

That’s a graphic lesson for home and business owners – watch what you flush. Basically, the only thing you should be flushing is toilet paper. Ignore the “flushable” promise on the package. It’s not true. And, in the kitchen, do not dump grease and such down the drain or into the garbage disposal.

On the other hand, we all do things we shouldn’t and sometimes you get a clog that you just can’t remove by yourself. In that case, call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help. Billy Sunshine has been the plumber of choice in Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties for almost 100 years (Billy the Sunshine Plumber was founded in 1924).

If the water won’t drain out of your sink and you can’t fix the problem yourself, call the slow drain experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

You’re planning to head to Clearwater today to watch the testing for tomorrow’s power boat racing. But rather than the carefree day you had planned, you’re staring at a sink full of water that won’t drain.

This isn’t the first time the sink has stopped up. It seems to happen a lot. You’ve done everything you can think of to unclog it from pulling out the pop up stopper to using homemade and store-bought drain cleaners to using a plunger. Things seem to work temporarily, but the clog seems to come back.

It could be you have a problem much farther down in your system. Or, it could be something more simple – like a clogged sink overflow. The sink overflow is that hole near the top of the sink that’s designed to help keep water from slopping over onto your counter or floor.

“One purpose of the overflow opening is to divert water into the drain if it accidentally rises too high in the sink, of course,” thespruce.com says. “But another important purpose is to allow air into the drain when the sink is filled with water. The air that comes into the drain through the overflow helps water in the sink to drain faster.

“The sink overflow is another place where debris and build-up can collect over time. If a sink is draining slowly and cleaning the drain does not seem to solve the problem, it is a good idea to clean the overflow as well.”

If you’ve tried that and had no success, it’s time to find a drain cleaning expert like the trusted drain cleaning specialists at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

If your toilet gets clogged and you can’t fix it yourself, it’s time to call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help.

It’s been raining so much recently that you were thrilled to have a sunny day to get outdoors for a walk in the park and a visit to the Brooksville Farmers Market. Your managed to relax and shed some of the stress that’s been building up and you were almost able to forget about your toilet.

It’s been kind of clogging recently. By “kind of,” you mean that, when you flush, it fills up but then slowly drains. And you have to flush several times to get rid of the solids. You’ve tried a plunger and over-the-counter drain cleaner but nothing seems to work.

You do have a clog – probably deep in your system, which is why the plunger doesn’t work. And you should not put harsh chemicals into your system either.

Your clog could be caused for several reasons. You might have roots that have managed to grow into your sewer system or, less seriously, you’ve been flushing things you shouldn’t and they’ve built up a partial blockage.

What things? Well, “flushable” wipes that aren’t really flushable, for one. Or perhaps something else that doesn’t seem hazardous to your plumbing. Like cigarette butts.

“Cigarette butts belong in the trash, not the toilet. They can clog the toilet and wreak havoc with a septic tank — especially filtered or plastic-tipped smokes,” says today.com.

Your best bet right now is to call a plumber with drain-clearing experience like the drain-cleaning experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

Homeowners can take preventive measures to keep clogs from forming. But if a clog does form, it’s time to call the experts at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You had a great time yesterday at the Pasco Farmers Market. You got lots of local fresh fruit and veggies and, when you got home, you immediately started cleaning them and getting them ready to quickly cook during the week. You’re really glad you have a garbage disposal to help keep things neat during food prep time.

Garbage disposals are great. But did you know that, if you don’t take care of them, you can cause them to break down or to contribute to clogs in your plumbing system?

It’s true. But, as Angie’s List points out, homeowners can take a lot of steps to prevent clogs in their plumbing system.

Among the clog-prevention tips from Angie’s List:

• Don’t put grease or coffee grounds down the drain.
• Get a hair catcher for your shower and/or tub.
• Regularly clean sink stoppers.
• Flush drains regularly with hot water or a non-corrosive drain cleaner.
• Don’t overfeed your garbage disposal.

And if you DO notice that your drains are slow – a prime indicator of a clog – take care of it at once. Ignoring it can cause bigger problems down the road.

If you do get a slow drain, or a clog, you can always call Billy the Sunshine Plumber for help. Locally owned, Billy Sunshine has been in business for almost 100 years – he was founded in 1924 – and he’s solved a lot of plumbing problems in that time.

If you have a slow drain and can’t fix it by yourself, it’s time to call the slow drain pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

When you got back from your last training run before today’s May Day Race, you hopped in the shower only to find yourself standing in ankle-deep water. You don’t think you have a clog because the water drained out. Even if you don’t have a clog, you’d like the slow drain to speed up because it’s not good standing ankle deep in dirty shower water.

You can try one of these home remedies suggested by Angie’s List – pouring boiling hot water down the drain. Using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Or using a plunger.

Hopefully, one of those will help. But if they don’t. Or if the drain slows again, it’s probably time to find a slow drain expert like the slow drain pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

If soap scum is causing a slow drain, it’s time to call the slow drain and clog-clearing specialists at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You’re planning on enjoying the great Florida weather today by taking a nature hike at the Tucker Hill Trailhead. You’re hoping that, by the time you get back, the water in your shower will have drained away so you can take another.

You’re not sure why the shower drain keeps clogging. You’re good about clearing hair away, but you still have a slow drain anyway.

It could be soap that’s causing the clog. As hunker.com points out, “Soap scum is one of the biggest causes of clogged drains. Soap scum builds up over time in PVC piping as it carries away the drain water from sinks and shower stalls.”

You can try removing the clog yourself but don’t use harsh chemicals or water that’s too hot. Neither one is good for PVC piping. If you can’t clear the clog by yourself or, you want to be on the safe side where your PVC piping is concerned, then it’s time to call for a slow drain, clog-clearing pro like the ones at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

Billy Sunshine has a lot of experience with slow drains. He’s been in business since 1924 – almost 100 years. He’s cleared a lot of clogged pipes during that time.

If you have a problem with a slow drain and can’t figure out how to fix it, call the slow drain specialists at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You’re planning to take a hike in the Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park today. And, for once, all is going well. That is, except for your shower.

It’s not that the shower itself was bad, it’s the slow drain. You always seem to end up mid-calf deep in water. You’ve dumped chemicals down the drain. You’ve used your plunger. And you even pulled the stopper apart to try to get it fixed. Nothing seems to permanently work and you’ve basically decided to ignore the situation. After all, the tub is empty by the time you get home from work each night.

It’s no big deal, right? Just one of life’s irritations.

It’s no big deal now. But, deciding to ignore a slow drain can be disastrous in the long term, according to the Spruce.

” A small drip in the kitchen sink, a slow-draining bathroom sink, and a toilet that runs continually can all be irritating. They don’t seem to be a big problem, but they will be if you don’t attend to them promptly,” the Spruce says. “Clogged toilets and pipes can overflow or burst. Small puddles from leaks can encourage mold and rot away wood flooring and support beams.“

Yep, your best bet if you can’t fix that slow drain is to call a plumber, like Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

When you have one (or more) slow drains that you can’t fix yourself, call the slow drain pros at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.

You’re planning to spend some time this weekend at the St. Pete Clearwater Elite Invitational women’s softball games. That is, you plan to attend the games if the slow drain in your bathroom sink will cooperate.

The problem is that you can brush your teeth, or wash your face or hands, but that’s it. If you leave the water running, it just backs up and you have a sink full of dirty water that takes its own sweet time draining. You figured you had a clog, but you dumped chemicals down it and used a plunger. But, nothing seemed to work.

According to Angie’s List, “It’s quite likely you’re experiencing a partial clog comprised of hair and soap scum, but there are other possible causes, including:

“•    Old piping deteriorating from within.
“•    An object that went down the drain and is stuck in the pipe.
“•    A problem with your main drain line, such as intruding roots.”

Your best bet, according to Angie’s List, is to call a slow drain expert (plumber) because “only an on-site inspection can determine for certain the cause of a slow or stopped sink drain.“

When you’re looking for a plumber in the Tampa Bay area, your best bet is to call Billy the Sunshine Plumber.
