Each plumbing project brings unique challenges. If you are setting out on your own project, here are some things to keep in mind:

Please do these things:

Protect your hands:

Nobody wants to lose the function of their hands. Protect them with gloves throughout the entire process. Whether you are using sharp objects (like a utility knife), or using any chemicals (like plumbing adhesives) it is best practice to keep your hands safe during the process.

Protect your eyes:

There are some nasty concoctions that brew inside drain pipes, and you do not want that, or any chemicals to get into your eyes while you undergo your personal plumbing project. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES!

Protect your lungs:

Using a face mask to filter the air of all the harmful particulates is a smart idea in any construction project. Also, be certain to apply any necessary chemicals in a well ventilated area.

Read labels

A good practice in general, making sure you are following manufacturers suggestions can save you a whole heap of unnecessary work both now and in the future. There are many instances that people who are somewhat comfortable with plumbing assume they remember how to use a certain product. This is a dangerous situation. This is a common situation of knowing just enough to get yourself in trouble.

Be informed

Make sure you understand all your local codes and regulations. Not only are they there for your protection, but ensure the value of your home should your ever decide (or heaven forbid—need) to sell.

Please Do not:

Work while impaired:

If you start a project tipsy, our number is 303-487-3663. You are going to need it by the end of your project. If you start a project, get frustrated, and start drinking (or seek any other influence), our number is 303-487-3663;-)

Misuse tools or equipment:

Tools are intended for specific purposes. “Extending” their function is not advised, and can lead to some dangerous, and disastrous outcomes. Take the time to get the right tool, it will pay off in the end. If you are unwilling to acquire the correct tools, give us a call. We have all the tools necessary, no matter what you plumbing issue may be.

Ignore the smell of gas:

If you smell gas, USE EXTREME CAUTION! Our recommendation is to leave immediately (do not turn on or off any lights or appliances) and call 9-1-1 from a neighbors home.
If you were the cause of the gas leak and are confident the danger is low, shut the master gas valve off. If you cannot, or do not know how, do not turn on any light switches and keep your door open as you get away from your house to call 9-1-1 from a safe distance.
As a general rule, if you smell gas, do not ever use matches or candles to look for the leak, and DO NOT turn any electric switches on or off if you suspect a gas leak.

Ignore safety codes:

If you are working on your own plumbing, it is your responsibility to know the applicable safety and building codes. Do not ignore them! Ignoring them will bite you down the road.

If you have any questions, or started a project and need some help, we would be happy to come assist. Call 303-487-3663!

“This past week I had the need for a plumber and I reviewed the telephone book and selected from the advertisements your company to attend to the matter. The company sent Austin Steinbach to attend to and review the problem. He is a very knowledgeable young man who communicates well and does his work in a very thorough and professional manner. I was very satisfied with his service. Mr. Steinbech is a credit to your company. Very often in communities someone asks whether they are aware of a plumber or other technician that can be recommended. In this regard, I am comfortable in recommending Mr. Steinbech and your company. Thank you for the service rendered.”

“Quick & competent work done to high satisfaction. Darrell Begay provided quick service and very professional work when he came to install a new toilet seat. We had not been able to do the work ourselves, so it was a relief to have Darrell and Done Plumbing get here so quickly to take care of the task. We appreciate all Done as done for us”

“Just a note to tell you of our recent positive experience with Kieth Croft. We found him to be friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient. When an issue arose with the clean-outs, Kieth quickly resolved it to our satisfaction & to the way he had previously described. From the estimate to the conclusion of the project we had confidence in Kieth. He is a good ambassador for your company.”

“Just a note of thanks for being the Best plumbing and heating company. I have used you often and have been impressed every time. I called for a drain cleaning and was told a technician could come the same day. He arrived an hour ealier than was quoted, was very professional and did a great job at a very reasonable price with my coupon that he honored. I would never use another company and would recommend you to anybody that needs help. The technician that did such a great job was Austin, but every technician you have sent has been the best. Thanks again for such a wonderful company”
