There is summer time. Nice weather,  parks are calling us, good cold beer, and a lot of fun. But is never to late to take care of your house plumbing. You can improve the plumbing in your house, you can prepare the plumbing for winter. Yes for winter. Cleaning the main sewer, checking the sump pump, checking the water pipes insulation in spaces low heated, like crawl spaces, unfinished basements, exterior walls.

Work with inspections

How important do you think is that your plumbing project to have a permit pulled out from the cities or villages?

We can tell you is the second most important after the project himself. By applying for a permit you will have the peace in mind somebody will certified the good work done by the plumbing contractor. After you signed the contract and pulled out permit, by yourself or by the plumbing contractor next step is to start the project. The inspections should be one or multiple base on how complex is the project. After every inspection the inspector will issue the acceptance and pass. At the final inspection the inspector will issue a document with pass of the work or will email to homeowner or plumbing contractor. Keep that document. Now you can pay the plumbing contractor and take advantage of the benefit of your plumbing project.

Frozen week in MidWest

The past week was a frozen week for Midwest U.S.. With temperatures below -24F and -55F with wind Chicago and the Subs where in hibernation for about 2 days. Unfortunately once the temperatures climb many frozen pipes start to burst. Unbelievable number of calls for every plumbing company in the Chicago land area. Short stops for plumbers, pipe fixed, move one. But may I ask if this is the solution for people houses? No of course is not. The solution is to prevent, to do it right and no corner cuts in remodeling or new construction. I am saying that because many calls which we had was in not less than 5 years remodels houses, either kitchens nor bathrooms. And that should be really unfortunate for people who invested in their houses. We hope in the future projects you will count for the winter season how will affect the plumbing, too.
