Nothing ruins the look of a well-maintained bathroom than ring around the toilet. It can be disgusting, as well as highly unsanitary.

Salt deposits cause the recurring ring around the water line of your toilet. That unpleasant brown line is the salt residue that remains after organic deposits have been flushed and the calcium and magnesium ions of hard water in the bowl starts to evaporate.

Removing the toilet ring permanently is highly unlikely, but turning your toilet bowl white again can be as simple as pouring a cup of white vinegar into your bowl once a month. When cleaning it, use soft bristles to scrub the inside of the bowl.

Ring around the toilet can be a minor problem with the proper maintenance. Feel free to call our Charlotte NC plumbers at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing for more information. Contact our Charlotte plumbing company today, or visit us online.

Chlorine and other chemicals can play a major role in how we use our water and keeping it safe and free of bacteria. These chemicals are required for immediate safety, but they also can have an effect on drinking or bathing water.

Our Charlotte NC plumbers at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing are knowledgeable experts in water treatment and the necessary products. We are contractors for the H2O Harmony Water Purification System, one of the top water filtration and softening product lines in the nation.

The idea of water purification and filtration using the H2O Harmony Water Purification System is to offer a peace of mind. The mineral content in water has the capabilities of damaging pipes, appliances and fixtures. Using a water softener will aid in the prevention of hard water, which is water that has a high mineral content primarily of calcium and magnesium.

In most cases, a plunger – whether it be a regular-sized plunger (for toilets) or smaller-sized plunger (for sinks) can resolve any drain clog problem you have. There are cases, however, where the plunger just isn’t enough.

This is when a plumber’s snake becomes the tool of choice. Also known as either a toilet jack or an auger – or even an electric eel – plumber’s snakes remove clogs that are too difficult for plungers to handle. They consist of a coiled metal reel that is attached to a rotating crank, which works in a corkscrew motion to break down particles and grit that can cause a clog.

The most common plumber’s snakes are operated by hand (cranking), but some are motor-operated. The more high-tech plumber’s snakes come with a small camera to help a plumbing professional diagnose a problem. Plumber’s snakes come in all sizes (length and width) and operate with the goal of breaking down excess material that can slow down water flow in your pipes.

If a plunger isn’t doing its job, try using a plumber’s snake. Our Charlotte NC plumbing professionals are experts with plumber’s snakes and can offer quality residential and commercial service to you at an affordable rate.
