Ever wonder why public restrooms now have automatic senors on almost everything in the bathroom? Let’s see if we can figure out the pro’s to having sensors. Let’s start off with talking about the toilet. Sensors on toilets came in handy when people thought it was OK not flush anymore. People can be absolutely disgusting and rude. Toilets were the first item to get sensors. Automatic sink sensors came around cause people thought it would be ok to leave water on after there done washing. People take water for granted and don’t realize that water costs money. One day if were not careful water will run dry. We all know soap can get messy if not contained. No one likes to clean up soap messes. It’s nice having the right amount of soap dispensed in one’s hand. Last but not least is having a towel dispenser that’s an automatic feed. I personally like the idea the having a limited amount of towel coming out at one time. Without sensors people take way to many and again is a waste of money and resources.
Senior Citizen Discounts!
People call our company everyday and ask what kind of discounts we offer for their problem at hand. Normally my answer is, there’s a discount for everyone but especially for our senior citizens. We understand that once you get to a certain age you want to retire. After working your entire life its important to take time and enjoy the beauties in life. Taking time during the day to really sit down and look around you, or even talking a mid-day walk around the lake. When people get to the point of retirement there should be celebration and benefits should come with that status. Companies don’t always offer senior discounts but our company does. We acknowledge all the hard work you have put in and now we want to treat you. It’s not OK to overcharge anyone but companies do, and trust me they take advantages if they can. Our company has been around since 1947 and we pride each and every one of our customers.

Flooded Basements
Experiencing a little water in your basement is one thing. Now, imagine finding three inches of water throughout your entire finished or unfinished basement. At this point your panicking and starting to freak out. I finally now understand why people get stuck paying the huge plumbing and drain cleaning rates. People that have time to look for a plumbing company get great deals. Now, think about the people that don’t have time to research a plumbing company and all they do is hire the first person they find. Chances are 99% of the time you find the company that advertises everywhere and now your getting stuck paying the high prices. Rule number one, always have a plumbing company in mind before a disaster occurs. Rule number two, clean your drains on maintenance before flooding happens. Rule number three, don’t ever call a plumbing company out of panic without doing your research. There is always time to make three important phone calls. You first call should be to your best friend that has experienced this same issue. Your second call should be to one of your close neighbors. Finally, your third phone call should be to your parents, asking them why they never warned you about having maintenance performed on your sewer line and now asking them to help clean up your flooded basement. Let me tell you it’s never fun throwing everything away, especially when it could have been prevented. It’s very important to check your basement each and every day. Pin hole water leaks can happen instantly and ruin flooring, walls and much more. Drains can suddenly get clogged and flood ones basement. Parents should mark important shut-off valves in your home. Also, teaching your kids what to do in case of an emergency can also come in handy one day. If you have an old shut-off valve that’s hard for anyone in the household to turn, that’s your hint to hire a plumber and get those valves replaced before it’s too late.

How to go about hiring a plumber
It is true that you must be careful when hiring a plumbing but don’t you have to also be careful when your hiring any worker that comes open hands into your home. Hiring an electrician and or Hvac company is just as important. Even though you say a plumber can “dictate whether your plumbing problem gets fixed or destroys your home” that isn’t always the case. I do agree that hiring an experienced plumber is the only way to go, but they have problems as well. I own a plumbing company and everyone that calls in thinks we work magic and everything will be fixed without problems. Customers think when they have a shower leak or any plumbing issue it can be handled without destroying the sheet rock or sometimes taking down some tile. The fact is every job is different and it depends which builders were smart enough to install access panels and opening that would in fact come in handy for plumbers. When going to hire a plumber, electrician, heating guy, painter, or even a roofer it doesn’t matter if they have been a master of their field for thirty years problems DO happen. People always seem to crack down when hiring a plumber, well it’s funny cause I always crack down when hiring an electrician or heating guy. I see all sorts of problems everyday and we handle them day in and day out. Thanks for writing a great article.

Dual Flush Toilets Pros and Cons
Some countries make dual flush toilet mandatory. Dual toilets are also known as “Green” toilets. These toilets flush no more then 1.6 gallons, compared to the standard toilets that flush 3.5 gallons. Most dual toilets are designed to use gravity to remove waste through a large trapway. Older toilets use pressure siphoning. The larger trapways are to reduce the amount of toilet clogs. The cost of the dual flushing toilets start at $250 and can go up to about four times the price. Dual toilets have a very modern look to them so they can match with a variety of bathroom styles. These toilets can be purchased in one or two piece sets.
Some cons to the dual flush toilets is that there harder to install. Each model is different and requires a professional plumber. These toilets also may require more cleaning due to the lower volume per flush. The buttons on the top of the unit may be confusing at first cause there not marked well. In most cases the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A dual flush toilet in the long run will save you money on your water bill.

Galvanized pipes ready to go?
Galvanized plumbing pipes were are used for water line and drain lines. Now that these lines are getting aged and worn out we recommend changing to PVC before they spring a leak or yet worse burst apart. If you have galvanized pipe in your home call us today to change them out. It’s smart to start changing parts of the pipe that is exposed first. If the pipe is hidden and enclosed behind solid structures call a plumber to handle it the right way.
