There's something about heating systems that makes homeowners procrastinate like nothing else. People will notice a strange noise, feel uneven heating, or catch a whiff of something odd, and then... they do nothing.

Kitchens are packed with plumbing. Between the sink, faucet, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and all those little water lines under the counter, there’s a lot that can go wrong. In fact, kitchen plumbing problems are one of the top reasons people end up calling a plumber.
