TODAY'S JOKE: A Phoenix plumber and his wife decided to vacation in Florida during the winter.
They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules,
it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So, the husband left Phoenix and flew to Florida on Thursday.
His wife would fly down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an e-mail to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her e-mail address, and without realizing his error, he sent the e-mail. Meanwhile.....somewhere in Scottsdale, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister of many years who was called home to glory following a sudden heart attack. The widow decided to check her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: To: My Loving Wife Subject: I've Arrived Date: 16 May 2003 I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails. I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was. P.S. Sure is hot down here! |

"Stevens is fast, on time and really knows what they are doing! I would be lost without them." S Kelly PLUMBING TIPS:
Is your
older washing machines still plumbed with the original, black rubber plumbing hoses? If so, check
the hoses for signs of wear.
Of course, you run the same risk if your home still has older plumbing supply lines at a toilet, kitchen or bath faucet, or any plumbing fixture. Replace old plumbing supply lines and hoses before you're faced with major water damage, as a part of your HVAC-PLUMBING home maintenance program. This is especially important since many home insurance policies don't cover some or even all damage from aged and deteriorated plumbing.
*And, don't forget to ask one of our expert plumbers about a pressure regulating valve (PRV) if your home does have high water pressure. High water pressure can cause damage even to new plumbing fixtures and fittings. One of our plumbing technicians can do a simple, inexpensive test on your home's water pressure and let you know exactly what your pressure is.
SLOW DRAINS? Don't
use a drain cleaner. Some chemical cleaners are caustic and may contribute to the deterioration
of your
plumbing drain pipes. And caustic drain cleaners have inherent safety risks from burns or chemical reactions. In addition, chemical cleaners can actually make a clog worse by turning the clog into a solid, congealed mass! Call our DRAIN CLEANING DEPARTMENT and have your plumbing drains mechanically cleaned (snaked) instead. Once the drains have been cleared using the proper equipment, it's fine to use an enzyme treatment periodically to help prevent a the problem from recurring. A LEAKY HOT WATER HEATER almost
always indicates something is wrong with the waterheater. Avoid major safety and
comfort issues for your home and family; have the heater checked immediately if you discover a leak. If only a small amount of water is leaking from the heater, it may be simply condensation around the outside of the water heater - a reaction of hot water with cold temperatures (fairly common in colder temperatures, and not a cause for concern). If you notice water below the pressure relief valve, (see more about leaky water heater...) See
our Plumbing Special Offers Page for a $25 OFF
coupon which you can use for any plumbing, heating or Trim Utility Costs by Reducing Hot Water Use Want
to cut your utility costs? One easy way is to use less hot water. Now, don't panic! There are ways
to decrease hot water Take a look at some of the ways you can reduce hot water consumption in your home, and lower your utility costs. First,
the obvious. If your hot water heater is leaking, have it replaced. Unfortunately, repairing a leaky water
heater is not Older shower heads often use as much as 6 to
10 gallons of water per minute (gpm)! This is a tremendous waste of hot water. IS YOUR OLDER TOILET WASTING WATER? A leaking toilet is often the biggest water waster in any home. "20 percent
of (toilets) are leaking at any one time".... "The number one customer service complaint (to water companies) is an unexpectedly high bill, and nine out of 10 times the reason is a leaky toilet." There's a simple test you can do to find out if your toilet is leaking. See more. If you need a PLUMBER in PHOENIX
