Our organization has always thought a tremendous amount about veterans. The transition from military service to civilian life can be very tough for someone who has spent many years of their lives completely devoted to the military. It can be especially challenging for someone with high energy. They might have gone into the military with […]
Underground drain pipes tend to deteriorate over time, especially in older homes. Pipe lining and pipe bursting are both trenchless technologies for replacing drain pipes. With pipe lining, we insert a liner into the existing pipe. We’re able to reline the pipe so that it looks brand new by the time we’re done. Even if […]
Water lines can be accessed a few different ways, depending on the type of home. In homes with a basement, the water lines generally run along the basement ceiling. In homes with a crawlspace, the water lines are usually accessible from there. In a slab house (meaning the house is built on a concrete slab), […]
A plumbing emergency is a situation in someone’s home that creates an unsafe environment. It could be something like a water leak coming through the ceiling that causes flooding and leads to the risk of a ceiling cave-in. A sewage backup in someone’s home is an emergency because the water is extremely unsanitary. The smell […]
There are a few different ways to assess a plumber’s competency. The most common credentials that a plumber can have is their journeyman’s license or master’s license. To obtain a journeyman’s license, plumbers need a minimum of 4 years field experience and some classroom training. They then must pass a test administered by the state. […]
You need to be very careful if you have a small leak—do not let it go because it will cause extensive damage to your home unless it’s fixed. For instance, a toilet with a little leak around the base might not seem like a big deal because it only leaks whenever you flush it. But […]
A plunger is probably the cleanest, most sanitary way to unstop a toilet. However, if the toilet isn’t installed properly, its seal can be compromised by using a plunger. A big red flag is if a toilet keeps getting stopped up weekly or even daily. Frequent clogs are indicative of an issue that needs to […]
While it is important to hire a licensed plumber, plumbing licenses are really just pieces of paper. Just because someone is licensed doesn’t necessarily mean that they know what they are doing. Plumbers should be licensed at a minimum, but they should also have a reputation demonstrating how well they provide support after the service […]
We spend a lot of time visiting homes in the spring to replace outdoor hose faucets, especially if they are the frost-free kind. What often happens is people forget to take their hoses off of the hose faucet during the winter. Of course, we’ve had a pretty mild winter these past couple of years, so […]
One of the things I always like to mention when talking about utility bills is the word ‘overpayment’. We don’t think about our utility bills most of the time, and when we do, we accept that the utility bill is just what it is. But you may be overpaying much more than what’s necessary for […]
