PHONES WERE OUT! OH NO!!!!
Hey folks, I need to let you know that over the weekend, some of our numbers were affected by the electrical storms and have been out. This was not noticed until this morning (Monday) when we opened for business. AT&T have been notified and are working on it. In the meantime they have forwarded all of the calls to another number for us. Sorry for the inconvenience if we missed your call.

Dekalb County Low Consumtion Compliance
People have asked if we fill out the letter that is needed to get your water turned on in Dekalb County. Yes we do! In fact, we are the lowest price company around. Our competitors charge $200.00 and up for this service. We charge $75.00! We would rather you save that extra money for other things you may need, like for example BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING! If you're like me, you dread this time of year and the costs that go along with it :)

Reviews
We appreciate all of the kind words you all are posting on Kudzu and Google!! We love you too!
It appears that this is making our competition nervous. One of them is leaving FALSE reviews in an attempt to smear us. They need to grow up and let the REAL reviews speak for themselves. I have never left a negative review (justified or fake) on a competitor and I never will, not even in retaliation. I think a person has the right to be in business and feed their family, no need to bring others down to build yourself up. I wish they thought the same way.
I will get off of my soap box now :)
Once again, I sincerely thank my REAL customers for your patronage and loyalty and welcome all REAL reviews, we'll do our best to keep earning them!

School's out for the Summer!!
For some, this is great news. You get to sleep late since you're not driving the kids to school or getting up to get them ready. For others it simply means that your energy bill and grocery bill are about to double :) If you have a need for a plumber this summer, as usual we would love to save the day! If you need a HVAC person instead, why not give my buddy Craig over at New York Style Heating and Cooling a call? He just gave me my yearly tune up and my air blows nice and COLD!! His number can be found to your left by clicking on the FRIENDS tab.

e-mail issues resolved
Hi all, there has been a glitch in our webmail server so some of your e-mails may have gone unanswered. Rest assured we did not ignore you, we simply did not know about the e-mails to begin with. The problem is corrected. If you ever send us an e-mail and do not get a response via return e-mail or phone call, give us a call and bring it to my attention. Have a GREAT day (while the weather will allow)!!!

Did you know?
Using liquid detergents to wash your clothes and dishes can really save you money? How's this you ask?
I recently was talking to one of my customers about the fact that powdered detergents can wreak havoc on septic systems. The powdered detergents never totally disolve and like magnets they find eachother in your tank and regroup. Years ago I had my outgoing baffle tee and distribution box clog due to BRICKS of detergent clogging them up! This cost me a pretty penny and could have all been avoided by using liquid detergent.
Switching to liquid can save you money. And for those on city sewer, the laundry drain itself can get clogged over time, so switching will benefit you too!

Round 1 is over
The first wave of cold weather is over and I hope most of you made it through without having pipes burst. Enjoy the warm temps while they last. Old Man Winter will be back soon enough, hopefully not as bad as before. Just remember to take the steps I've listed in previous Clog Blog posts and hopefully we can fend him off again :)

Warmer weather on the way...
Is this a good thing? Yes, technically it's a GREAT thing. Here's the skinny, when it does get warmer, any of those frozen pipes that have yet to burst will in fact give up the ghost. Follow my previous advice and you should be ok. If they're frozen, turn your water off and heat the area you suspect of having the frozen pipes. This will thaw the pipe and prevent the pipe from bursting under pressure.
As per usual, if and when you need us, give us a call!

Temps still COOOOOOLD!!
Keep the faucets dripping and hopefully you can avert disaster. We are supposed to see an increase in temps soon, that's when the pipes will thaw and break if you allow them to freeze up. Dripping faucets will keep water moving and less likely to freeze, so PLEASE do it :)

FREEZE BREAK ALERT!!
Folks, I cannot stress ths enough. Let your faucets drip, at least one of them. The weather is getting to the point where there are going to be frozen pipes happening left and right. They will break during the thawing out process. Do yourself a HUGE favor and follow my advice :)

The New Website is up and running!!
With the new year comes the New Look of The Plumbing Detectives. You'll find a lot more content here than before, such as this blog. It is not 100% finished yet, so you'll get to see the last few steps as we are in the finishing stages here. A lot of work went into this site. From the new logo and page layouts, to all of the content, we hope you like the new look. A BIG thanks goes out to my friend of twenty some odd years, David Jeffares. Without him and him alone, the old site nor the new site would have EVER existed! Thanks Dave, you're the man!!!

2010 is here, cold weather is here too!
Ok folks, we are going to be having some cold cold temps out there. You need to let your faucets drip to avoid freeze breaks. These freeze breaks can cause major damage and be quite costly to repair. You know I'll fix them for you but I'd rather tell you how to avoid seeing me so often :) IF your pipes do freeze, turn the water OFF at the meter. This will allow the pipe to thaw and not burst and cause damage. If the water is left on, the pipe WILL burst when it starts to thaw. Bundle up and keep those faucets dripping!
