About permits!

Everybody knows when the house, building needs improvements is time to apply for permit at the city or village hall. The permit can be pick up by the contractor or by householder. When the contract between contractor and householder stipulates the contractor will pick up the permit the householder has to ask for it to be sure this has been paid otherwise the surprises can be enormous. We advise the householder at the final payment beside the invoice to ask for copy of permit from city or village and keep in his records.

What should I do if my pipes freeze?

What should I do if my pipes freeze?

If you turn on a faucet and get no water, your pipes may be frozen. If your pipes freeze, there are some procedures that you can follow to thaw them. The sooner the problem is recognized, the better chance that damage will be minimized.

Some techniques for thawing frozen pipes include: 

• If possible, expose a boxed-in area to the inside heat. An example includes opening some ceiling tiles if your home has a drop ceiling.
  
• Use a heat gun. However, be extremely careful as the heat from the heat gun will ignite any wood or paper it contacts.
  
• DO NOT use torches to thaw pipes!
  
• Rubbing the pipes with warm, damp rags may slowly thaw the line.
  
• If you do not have water for an extended period of time, special attention should be given to hot water heaters and boilers.

What should I do if a pipe breaks?

Shut off your water immediately, using your home's shutoff valve.

Where are my shutoff valves?

There are actually two major shutoff valves in line with your service. The first valve, called a curb stop, is generally located near the property line and is normally housed by a cylinder with a cap on it called the curb box. The other major valve is located in the home next to the water meter. Other valves may be near plumbing appliances such as sinks and toilets.

Keeping your main valve in good working condition will assure you that you will be able to turn your water off in the event of an emergency, in case one of your water pipes breaks, for example. Older style gate valves should be turned periodically due to possible corrosion build-up. Newer Teflon coated ball valves should stay in working order without any regular turning.

What if my main valve does not work in an emergency?

You should call your local Public Works Department so that someone can shut off your water.

2013 at the end

2013 is almost over. 2014 is around the corner. For our business 2013 was a good year. We service more than 300 customers, which is good for the 2nd year of our company. From individual owners to management companies we tried to do our best. We installed flood controls after the big storm in April, also installed clean out for easy main line maintenance, we remodeled bathrooms , re piped water lines inside the houses, a lot of drains maintenance, and small plumbing repairs. So far a good year.
This year we developed a marketing program base on post cards, door hangers and internet access in order the people to know that we are here with great services and let them know with what we are doing. The last action was that one where we created an Yelp account. How we said in the Yelp account description we don't know what is that a short cut. We are here to give the best service possible.
At the end, because our schedule is full for next weeks, we wish you   and stay safe.
