It was a pleasant surprise to receive some rain in the Bay Area after a long drought spell, which has caused drain lines to accumulate dirt and debris due to the "dryness" in the pipes. Performance Plus Plumbing recommends that you snake your the drain lines before the it rains again. The last thing you want to do is deal with overflow issues or leaks during the rain,or finding yourself with a plumbing emergency while at work, and scrambling to find a plumbing contractor at the last minute. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure comes to mind. Call us to schedule a sewer inspection and snake out your drains. We have been in business since 1994 in the Livermore California Bay Area and are available to assist you with all your plumbing needs.

If you're confused about whether to hire a plumber and pay time and material vs. flat rate, you're not alone. Time and material simply means that you will pay your local plumber a set hourly rate until the job is completed, plus any needed parts. Check with your plumber to see if they bill in hourly or half hour increments, etc. Flat rate, is simply one flat price, regardless of how long it takes the plumber, including labor and material. If you hire an experienced plumber, such as with Performance Plus Plumbing, Inc. based out of Livermore California, they offer you both options. If the plumber you hire is experienced, they will most likely complete the job faster than someone who may not be as experienced. This in turn, may save you money. If you like peace of mind in knowing the exact price before having the plumbing work done, choose flat rate. Hope this helps you select which option is best for you.
