I love my job to pieces, but one area of our business that I could see myself loving just as much is water treatment. It’s just so cool to take not-so-great water and make it become really great. Water treatment is such an essential part of what we do—it’s cool to be able to make […]
A sewage backup is one of the worst things that could happen to someone’s plumbing system, short of a huge water rupture that just floods the entire home. What makes sewage worse than a water rupture is all the nasty stuff in it. It’s very likely disease-ridden and full of bacteria and viruses. Plumbing systems […]
I think it’s important to provide a clear, simple way for people to understand the difference between water filtration and water treatment. Water filtration removes anything you can see in the water. Some particles can’t be seen unless there are a lot of them—take coffee, for instance. What makes coffee brownish or blackish in color? […]
I think most people who hear the word osmosis think of plants absorbing water. But we’re talking about reverse osmosis today, which is generally referred to in RO drinking water or RO treatment. Reverse osmosis treatment is a way to purify food-grade water for cooking and drinking. It’s generally done at the point of use […]
Tankless water heaters are often considered as a potential option for homeowners. First, I want to talk about some of the disadvantages: Con #1: Upfront Cost A tankless water heater will simply cost more than a tank water heater. That upfront cost can be a significant challenge to overcome. Con #2: Installation in All-Electric Homes […]
People don’t tend to look at their water heaters very often. Sometimes a water heater might be stuck in a storage room with boxes all around them, in a closet that never gets opened, or maybe in a rarely-visited attic. I would advise people to look over their water heater to make sure there aren’t […]
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 […]
