Parker & Sons Speaks on Home Fire Awareness

Theo nguồn tin Parker & Sons trên trang mạng prnewswire.com

PHOENIX, Nov. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Days are beginning to grow shorter, and the nights are growing longer. Temperatures are dropping dramatically. Parker & Sons notes that winter is gradually approaching. Homeowners across the Valley of the Sun are doing everything they can do stay warm and cozy. Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20161121/441619LOGO Unfortunately, many of the efforts individuals take to keep warm during the winter also increase their risk of experiencing a home fire. In fact, the United States Fire Administration reports that 50 percent of all home fires occur during the months of December, January, and February. The danger is particularly high in Phoenix, where temperature can get quite low, but there is no cool, moist snow to slow down the spread of a fire. Parker & Sons advises Phoenix residents caution during the cold winter months to ensure that they do not experience a home fire. Parker & Sons further advises that there are a number of safety measures that can be taken that will help reduce the risk of experiencing a home fire. Many families love the feeling of gathering around the fireplaces to share in warmth and comradery. The United States Fire Administration states that before families light the fireplace for the first time this year, they should have a qualified professional clean and inspect their chimney and air vents. Soot coated chimneys often lead to devastating home fires. The U.S.F.A. also calls on individuals to store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal contained placed at least 10 feet away from any home or building. Most importantly, Parker & Sons and the U.S.F.A. comment that all homes must have at least one working smoke detector installed in every level of the home. The smoke detector should be tested on a monthly basis. Homeowners should make sure they have always have spare batteries available. It is also important for families to have a home escape plan that they practice regularly. “If anyone has any questions regarding home fire safety, they should contact their local fire department. They will be happy to help you out and give you all the information you need. We are happy to advise you on all other home service needs, but for this, for the real important stuff, you should talk to the guys who really matter: the firefighters,” said Josh Kelly of Parker & Sons.

Cooler Weather and Thanksgiving Holiday Can Wreak Havoc on Plumbing and Fixtures

Theo nguồn tin The Sunny Plumber trên trang mạng prnewswire.com

PHOENIX and LAS VEGAS, Nov. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Cooler weather and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday pose the perfect recipe for costly plumbing failure. Still, with a little planning and insight from industry experts, consumers can prevent themselves from having repairs and holiday hassles. One of the most common plumbing issues consumers face during the holidays is a clogged sink or malfunctioning garbage disposal. Gary Eisenhauer, manager at The Sunny Plumber, likes to remind consumers to be wary of the “FOG.” “Fats, oils, and grease are your garbage disposals worst enemy,” said Eisenhauer. “While this material is in liquid form when it’s initially poured into the disposal, it congeals into a viscous sludge as it cools. The FOG then sticks to the walls of the disposal chamber, as well as the walls of the drain pipe. This can gum up the impeller, as well as clog the drain. Don’t pour FOG down the garbage disposal if you want to avoid these issues. Throw it away, instead.” Other garbage disposal best practices include never throwing beans, rice, pasta and bread down the drain. When saturated with water, this food material will expand and that’s when you have a backup. In addition, bones and fibrous foods should be thrown away or composted. “If you send those down your disposal, it’s a safe bet they be coming back up,” said Eisenhauer. “Nobody wants that mess during the holidays.” During the holidays bathroom facilities are taxed with additional traffic and usage. Annual maintenance to clear any build-up can often prevent major toilet clogs and avoid the spread of infectious waste in the bathroom. Eisenhauer also advises consumers to stay away from using chemicals to try and clear blockage as this rarely remedies a clogged line. If a plunger doesn’t clear the clog, you need to turn to the pros, he said. In addition, the arrival of cooler weather raises some caution for water heaters. Cold air causes expansion and contraction in water heaters and in some older units, fractures can occur resulting in failure. Routine maintenance can identify those risks as well as ensure water heaters are operating effectively and efficiently. “Water heaters are your best friend during the holidays and when the cooler weather is here, but it can be your worst nightmare when they are not taken care of or installed incorrectly,” Eisenhauer adds. “With some minor attention, you can prevent major headaches from occurring.” About The Sunny Plumber The Sunny Plumber offers the highest quality plumbing services throughout the Southwest. All plumbers are experienced in solving a wide variety of plumbing problems including drain cleaning, leak detection, sewer line and garbage disposal repair. The company also sells, installs and services standard and tankless water heaters.
