Gas Pipe vs. Water Pipe.

So, how do you tell the difference between the two?  Generally speaking, a gas pipe will be black pipe or flex pipe that is yellow while a water pipe will be copper, pvc, cpvc, or galvanized pipe.  If your head is spinning, that is why we are blessed with plumbers!  They are the ones who identify and troubleshoot.

What it comes down to is ask a plumber…ask a plumber…ask a plumber.  Simply put, a main water supply pipe connected to the water company’s main or to a well on your property supplies water to your house.  The piping downstream of the GAS meter usually is the responsibility of the homeowner. The piping upstream of the gas meter and the meter itself usually are the responsibility of the gas company.

If you are having problems with your gas pipes or water pipes just call Scott.  In Sandwich, Yorkville, and the far Western Suburbs of Chicagoland we are known for our expertise in repairing and installing pipes.  Please visit www.bee-plumbinginc.com and call the appropriate phone number that fits your area. 

We Watch our Own Back.

With plumbing, sometimes things break or clog and water goes everywhere. Hey, that's why there's 24 hr plumbing service and not 24-hour electricians!  Whose fault is it really when a soldered joint pops, and an old pipe starts leaking in a new place after being rattled by adjacent repairs?

The biggest factor for many of these is time. Did a plumbing repair that day cause a small leak in an adjacent section of pipe that becomes noticeable later that evening?  We are always on the lookout for complications.  A good plumber must be brave and confident.  He must know that what he is doing is the best work he can possibly do.

At Bee Plumbing Inc. we really do watch our own back.  Our master plumbers are always aware that a properly executed plumbing repair may result in another leak somewhere else.  We take great pride in “watching our own back” and preparing for any eventuality.  Call us for plumbing repair in the Western Suburbs of Chicagoland by visiting out website at bee-plumbinginc.com.

What Is a Backflow Test?

The first question is how often do you need to test your backflow device?  The short answer is that it is recommended to be done once a year.  Have you been on target with that?  Most of us probably are not!  How long should it take?  When it is done by a real professional the job should take less than a half hour for each device.  Set up, meanwhile takes a bit longer.

What if you happen to fail the test…will you be without water for a period of time?  Unless all else fails again, the short answer is NO.  In the majority of cases, we can take the backflow device apart and clean some of the internal parts, re-test and get the device to pass.  This is the most important part of the entire process.

At Bee Plumbing we take great pride in our ability to make all of the necessary repairs so that your device will get that ultimate passing grade.  That is why we are known as one of the true backflow repair experts in the far West Suburbs of Chicagoland.  Your system should be checked annually.  Have it done right the first time by calling Bee Plumbing at any of the phone numbers listed on the website bee-plumbinginc.com.

Who is My Plumber?

Have you ever called a plumbing company when you needed service, repairs, or remodeling and you spoke to someone in a cubicle who took your message and said someone would get back to you?  That can be VERY frustrating.  Plumbing is a “right now” type of service and you don’t want to be bicycled around waiting for a return call by someone you don’t know.

Dealing with a smaller plumbing company has numerous advantages.  You get to know your plumber and trust him over time.  You know that you are dealing with someone who is experienced in all aspects of plumbing repair, replacement, and remodeling.  You want to feel good about the guy working in your home…don’t you?
