Is the last weekend of the summer. Kind of sad. And because this weekend i could not develop some pictures; buy the way all pictures are made by us, I want to remind some words what has been said by a great personality: " I am the master of my faith, I am the captain of my soul!"
Have a great weekend!

Good, Better, Best

There is a debate regarding which camera is better for main line sewer inspection: Ridgid or Spartan, or I would say between Ridgid or the other cameras. How probably  has been seen on the picture I chose RIDGID. Easy to work in crawl spaces, hard access, easy to operate. The locator is very precisely, but gave some error when sewer is deeper than 7 feet and under the concrete path. Overall  RIDGID camera is the best on the market.

There"s many stories in the field regarding all kind of bad work done. Recently we had a service where the kitchen sink drain in basement unit was backing up. Two other companies was there to do the work. One tried to use the air gun and blown up the strainers, and p traps , and the other one couldn't do it at all. What we did!? First we rodded and because of the length of the cable( 60') we couldn't open. Next day we tried to jet and we couldn't pas the first joint. With owner permit we cut the wall and with camera we saw kind of Picasso art. After 2" copper pipe 4" cast iron pipe and again 2" copper pipe and again 4" copper pipe. After jet and rodding we pulled out plastic bags. The whole work: 8 hrs. Because of very skilled plumbers, whit license of course.

History!


 DID YOU KNOW!?
     Testaments to the ancient plumber echo in the ruins of rudimentary drains, grandiose palaces and bath houses, and in vast aqueducts and lesser water systems of empires long buried. Close to 4,000 years ago, about 1700 B.C., the Minoan Palace of Knossos on the isle of Crete featured four separate drainage systems that emptied into the great sewers constructed of stone.
             Terra cotta pipe was laid beneath the palace floor, hidden from view. Each section was about 2 1/2' long, slightly tapered at one end, and nearly 1" in diameter. It provided water for fountains and faucets of marble, gold and silver that jetted hot and cold running water.
Harbored in the palace latrine was the world's first flushing "water closet" or toilet, with a wooden seat and a small reservoir of water. The device, however, was lost for thousands of years amid the rubble of flood and decay. Not until the 16th Century would Sir John Harington invent a "washout" closet anew, similar in principle. And it would take still another 200 years before another Englishman, Alexander Cumming, would patent the forerunner of the toilet used today. The luminous names of Doulton, Wedgwood, Shanks, and Twyford would follow.
