WHO DO YOU HAVE TO CALL FOR PLUMBING OR SEWER SERVICE!

WHO DO I HAVE TO CALL FOR PLUMBING OR SEWER SERVICE?!

This is a question which we have in mind when a plumbing or sewer problem appear in our house. Do I have to call a small plumbing and sewer company or a corporation? Which is better? Which provides a better service? As a matter a fact both will provide almost the same service. But there are several things which you have to keep in mind before your call. I will show you a few pros and cons, which I consider will help you in your decision.

Small company
pros         the service will be not so costly                     the plumbers or technicians are trained by a                                                                                     big company and they are trained well    

                the job they provide will be tidy                     they are forward and fair with you
               
cons         sometimes if you have an emergency
                they can not be on time to help you
                they don't have all the big tools, and because they have to rent the cost of service will go up
                not a big penetration in business market
Corporation
pros         they will be on time( within 30 min)               they have heavy equipment for major jobs
                provide more tips of services                        

cons        they are costly                                               having sales guys, is possible that a minor job
                                                                                    to be transformed in a major job, in short words
                                                                                    a rip-off
                sometimes they hire a non professional
                guy with minor knowledge in business that they serve
                they do not care about you, they want your money!
                you pay for their advertising at least 20-30% of the bill
               
 I consider these are the most  important things to keep in mind while choosing who to call for service. Now it is your choice.

BBP PLUMBING

Today, Sunday May 6th was kind of rainy day.I wish you to stay dry and no flood.
BBP PLUMBING INC. wish you all the best.

Replace or repair?

Water and sewage treatment cost money.
When you reduce water consumption, you can save on both counts. If you have an older water-guzzling toilet and it starts to need repairs, give serious thought to replacing it entirely.
Instead of spending money on what will probably be a continuous string of repairs, invest wisely and get a reliable fixture that will save you money over the long run.
This is also true for faucets and shower heads.  Anytime these need attention, consider replacing them with new, water-saving units.
When the water heater getting old, consider to replace with another water heater or with a tank less, but you must follow the manufacturer recommendation. 
If you forgot to clean your main line and the clean out is inside the basement with a 3 inch size, is better consider to install 6 inch outside clean out for a better cleaning. By the way the main sewer line is 6 inch size.
And don't forget something: do not listen your neighbor. He is not a licenses plumber!
