"For many of us, the Turkey Trot was that first race we ever ran as a kid. Maybe it’s the only race you’ll do all year. Point is, if you’re not running this Thanksgiving, you’re missing out on a pretty spectacular running tradition."

 

Backflow Testing around Chicagoland.

You know that not just anyone can test your Chicago area home for backflow problems.  It begins with 40 hours of classroom time…book learnin’!  Next, it becomes about paying for the privilege.  To become a certified backflow tester you must pay several hundred dollars.  Oh, and don’t forget the additional licensing when you are done.

On top of all that, a plumber needs to invest in what is known as a testing gage.  That too, will set the plumber back several hundred dollars.  He is not done yet.  Every two years a licensed backflow technician must be re-certified.  At that point, another eight hours or so must be spent in the classroom or online.

Then comes experience.  You need to be sure that the plumber who enters your home is an experienced backflow technician.  If you live in The Fox Valley and far western suburbs of Chicagoland the right man for the job is Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.  Go to bee-plumbinginc.com and call the phone number that corresponds to your area.

How Long Should You Wait for a Plumber?

When you have a plumbing emergency in your home or office how long must you wait for someone to show up?  Every minute that ticks by seems like an hour…doesn’t it?  Be careful when you seek out a plumber that services our area.  Some of them come from the bowels of Chicagoland and they may be an hour away…at least!

There are two obvious reasons why you want to hire a local plumber.  Speed, which we mentioned above in getting to you.  Also, consider the cost.  If you have an honest local professional he will pass the savings on to you.  The less he has to travel the more he will save…especially with these gas prices!

Do you live in or around Sandwich, Plano, Yorkville, Oswego, Montgomery, Sugar Grove, Algonquin, Aurora, Lake in the Hills, Barrington, or Crystal Lake then there is a plumber just for you.  It’s Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.  He even has a specific phone number depending on where you live.  Just visit www.bee-plumbinginc.com and give him a call.

Are you Prepared to Pick Up 88 Pounds?

That’s not something most of us do on a daily basis.  Did you know that the average one-piece toilet weighs nearly 100 pounds?  Now, if you are planning on replacing one or more of them in your home you had better be prepared to do some heavy lifting.  You may think that you have the knowledge as to how it is done, but what about the brute strength?

To start with, if you’re buying a new toilet, you need to know the “rough-in” measurement of the old one.  Setting a toilet onto new bolts can be the most frustrating part of the whole installing a toilet job.  You should also be aware that a rock-solid toilet flange is the key to a leak-free toilet.  That is rather important!

Rather than have this knowledge and upper-body strength, why not call Scott?  That’s Scott Swanson of Bee Plumbing.  He is never too busy to install your new toilet(s) in your home or office.  If you have any plumbing problem in the far-west Suburbs of Chicagoland just visit www.bee-plumbinginc.com to call the appropriate phone number near you.
