Did you know trees can catch disease, just like humans and animals? While there are countless diseases that affect all types of trees, there are three in particular that affect hardwood trees in the United States. All of these diseases have the potential to kill the beautiful, mature trees on your property or damage them enough that tree removal is necessary. This shows how important tree service really is: if a tree on your property contracts one of these diseases, immediate action is necessary to address the problem, treat the tree or have it removed before it can spread.

1. Oak Wilt, Ceratocystis Fagacearum

This devastating disease can affect any type of oak tree, especially live, red and white oak. While it mainly affects trees in the eastern part of the country, it can turn up anywhere. It’s a very aggressive fungus that usually takes advantage of trees that are already wounded, then it spreads through roots and insects to other trees on your property. The only way to diagnosis it is through an inspection by a certified arborist. There is no way to cure a tree that’s acquired oak wilt and tree removal is the next step.

2. Armillaria Root Disease

This disease can affect softwood or hardwood trees, although it’s particularly rough on conifers. Root diseases like this one are actually one of the leading causes of timber loss and Armillaria root disease itself is the most common root disease in some states. This disease attacks trees that are already weakened, whether they’re over-crowded, weakened by the weather or under attack by pests. It can even attack healthy trees on your property. Signs of this disease include thin foliage, yellow roots, an abundance of resin flow, brown liquid near the base of the tree and distressed pine cone crops. If you spot these signs, contact a arborist immediately.

3. Dutch Elm Disease

This is one of the most well-known types of plant disease worldwide and it’s a huge threat to elm trees. There is no cure and the first case was discovered back in 1974. It can be spread in three ways: through the elm bark beetle, root grafts and human activity. These beetles are the primary way the disease is spread and they breed in the dead wood of elm trees. Regular pruning of elm trees on your property can dramatically lower the population of these beetles. It’s important to prune elm trees between October 15 and April 15, when the beetles are not active. If you own an elm tree, contact a tree service today to have the dead wood removed.

Charming your tub with a snake

If using a plunger doesn’t work, try using a drain auger, or snake, to unclog the tub drain. For more information on snakes, see Chapter 5.
1. Remove the tub stopper or strainer, and then push the tip of the snake into the drain opening, continuing to feed the coil through until it meets an obstacle.
Push the cable into the clog in the water and crank it fur­ther to dislodge the obstruction. Some snakes have an attachment for an electric drill, giving it more power to force it through the clog. To remove a clog that’s beyond the trap under the tub, rotate the snake while you push it into the pipe.
2. If the snake continues to resist passage through the trap, remove the overflow cover plate (usually located in the end of the tub directly above the drain and below the faucet).
As you remove the screws that hold the cover in place, be careful not to drop the screws down the drain.

If the drain-closing mechanism is attached to the cover, pull up on the cover; the linkage comes out of the overflow hole with the cover.

Push the snake directly down into the hole, and through the trap.

Note that this approach doesn’t allow you to get directly to any blockage that’s stuck in the trap.

If the blockage is past the trap, somewhere down the drainpipe, reaching it may take some time. The cable stops feeding in when it hits the blockage. You must work the snake against the blockage until the cable freely feeds in the drain — then you know that the clog is clear. Flush the drain with water to confirm that the blockage is gone.

Except for really old drains that rely on a rubber stopper to hold back the water, most sink have a pop-up drain mechanism. Bathtubs have either the same type pop-up stopper or a trip-lever (plunger type) drain closure. When you’re faced with a drain that won’t hold water, you have to adjust them. The following sections show you how. Call The Plumbing Service that can fix your issues
