Advantages of a Sewer Line Camera Inspection

sewer line cameraA sewer line camera is now a powerful tool in the plumbing industry. We understand the value it offers our customers.

That is why we have invested in a sewer line camera to better meet our customer’s needs. Most homeowner’s do not understand that the sewer line buried underground on their property is their responsibility should it crack, break or no longer provide the service it’s intended to provide. As your home gets older, so does this sewer line. Your “sewer line” refers a pipe carrying water with human waste at atmospheric pressure.

Leaks and breaks are commonly caused by aging, corrosion, extreme temperatures, or settling or shifting of the ground. If this line fails, repair or replacement could cost thousands of dollars and most homeowners insurance policies or home warranty companies do not cover repairs. So, in these cases, we use our sewer line camera to inspect your sewer line. Here are some advantages:

Sewer Line Camera Inspection

It all starts with a sewer line inspection. An inspection allows our technicians to identify current or potential problems in your sewer line. Real time video image transmission allows our technicians to determine the condition of the inside of the pipe and understand any existing or potential problems. The images can also be saved for a permanent record. For example, you might not have a problem right now; but if and when you do, we  have a record that enables us to quickly identify the problem the next time.

Value of a Sewer Line Camera Inspection

Here’s the value to you. Let’s say we identify a potential problem in your sewer line. For example, the ground has shifted and perhaps we have signs of aging. Yet, you may not have a break or major problem for another five years. This gives you ample time to perhaps find an inexpensive insurance solution to your problem. On the other hand, if your line is corroded or obstructed with sludge, dirt or other debris, we might be able to clean it with our sewer line jetter.

sewer line digHere’s another major advantage of a sewer line camera inspection. We can often avoid or minimize the “dig.”  The dig is an expensive and labor intensive process. Obviously, its much less expensive to the homeowner is we can clean the sewer line with out jetter.

Or perhaps we don’t have to completely replace the entire sewer line. With our inspection, we might be able to determine if the problem is localized. In that case, we can minimize damage to your property and simply replace a section of your sewer line.

In summary, we have added a sewer line camera to our plumbing services. With our camera we can better serve our customer’s needs. The sewer system is something most homeowners don’t think about until there’s a problem. With a sewer line camera inspection we can help our customers avoid much higher costs. While this article focused on residual homeowners, this service is also available to our commercial and municipal customers.

Cooling Tower Refurbishment

cooler tower refurbishmentThis is a timely article on cooling tower refurbishment. We wanted to share this article with our audience in business, government, health care, education and with commercial property owners and managers. It’s timely because this article represents a great overview of the cooling tower refurbishment job we are doing at the Great Mills High School.

cooling-tower-refurbishment-coilsCooling tower refurbishment is highly effective preventive maintenance.

Let’s face it, replacing a school’s cooling unit can be very expensive. It only makes good business sense to understand that there are more cost-effective alternatives. As this article points out, these large cooling units normally last for about 15-20 years. There are many factors that lead to corrosion and deterioration of these units; humidity, high winds, icing… to name a few. If these cooling units are left unattended, they can eventually collapse. But, there is good news! As the authors says, “Refurbishment or upgrades can bring a cooling tower’s components up to original factory specifications, extending the system’s lifespan for another 15 to 20 years.”  We highly recommend that you take a few minutes to read this article. It dives deep into the many functions performed in cooling tower refurbishment. Read why cooling tower refurbishment is a highly effective preventive maintenance alternative!

 

A commercial cooling tower’s life expectancy is between 15 and 25 years, yet it is not always necessary to install a completely new system; old cooling towers can be refurbished or upgraded at a fraction of the cost. Refurbishment or upgrades can bring a cooling tower’s components up to original factory specifications, extending the system’s lifespan for another 15 to 20 years. Over time, the humid environment of a cooling tower naturally leads to the build-up of contaminants resulting in clogging of the heat transfer medium and corrosion of metallic components. This build-up diminishes the efficiency of the cooling system and in severe cases can result in the collapse of the cooling tower structure. Plastic components gradually deteriorate over the operating life of the cooling tower becoming brittle and are therefore easily damaged due to maintenance activities or exposure to high winds and icing during winter. Cooling tower refurbishment is achieved by cleaning the inside of the cooling tower and all metal parts, using sandblasting to remove corrosion. Once sandblasting is completed, an epoxy coating is applied to the metal, with a flexible epoxy stripping applied to the joints to allow flexibility and prevent leaking. Once […]

Lets Talk Air Conditioner Maintenance

Air conditioner maintenance is important. While maintenance can be as simple as replacing the filter every three months, it is sometimes very complicated

air conditioner maintenanceThe purpose of this article is to share an excellent and very timely article on cleaning and maintenance of air conditioning units. According to its author, air conditioner maintenance involves a lot of steps, which is why many homeowners choose to hire professionals. Dirty and clogged filters need to be replaced or cleaned since they block normal airflow and significantly reduce the unit’s efficiency. Cleaning or replacing the filter can reduce the unit’s energy consumption by up to 15%.

This article also talks about other components like evaporator and condenser coils which collect dirt, even with clean filters. This causes a decrease in airflow and will also insulate the coil, minimizing its ability to absorb heat. Other parts of the air conditioning unit that need maintenance include coil fins, condensate drains and window seals.

With the summer months coming up, HRC Climate Services encourages air conditioner maintenance to insure optimum cooling performance. Utah air conditioning services. ( Newswire.net — June 13, 2016) Spanish Fork , Utah

HRC Climate Services is encouraging homeowners to have their air conditioners checked and maintained now that the warmer months are here. Maintenance on air conditioners is extremely advantageous to homeowners because of the benefits it can offer, especially in the summer. Unless it is brand new, an air conditioner may not be running as efficiently as it is supposed to. Air conditioning units require regular maintenance, and if not maintained, may work less efficiently with time. They may not cool a room as they used to, giving homeowners an uncomfortably hot home during the summer. When they can no longer cool a room with the original amount of energy it used to require, they will work harder to achieve their usual standard. This results in utilizing more energy and can cause a higher utility bill. Even as energy usage increases, the unit will not be able to cool a room the way it used to. Cleaning and maintenance on air conditioning units involve a lot of […]

Finally, you might want to check out this timely article on Air Conditioner Repair and Replacement. In this article, we describe some of the many technical changes that have occurred in air conditioning repair. For example, as of 2010, manufacturers must use a new kind of refrigerant that’s not an ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon. Plus, we explain some cost/benefit solutions when making a decision to either repair or replace your air conditioning system.

What is Backflow Protection?

Backflow protection is managed by any number of devices designed to prevent backflow or back siphoning of possible bad or contaminated water into a potable/drinking water system. These devices are installed in commercial and some residential water systems depending on the degree of danger that has been established by each State or County health department.

All backflow devices are required to be tested and certified annually. These tests can only be performed by specially trained and certified technicians licensed in the state of operation.

All backflow devices are required to be tested and certified annually.

Why is Backflow Testing Necessary?

State regulations require some residential, but all commercial and industrial customers served by a public water system to protect the public water system from potential contamination. The water from private plumbing can flow into the public water distribution system (or backflow).

In order to prevent potential backflow, these customers are required to install and maintain backflow prevention devices on the main water service lines. Furthermore, these commercial establishments are required to have their backflow protection devices tested once a year.
