As we enter the fall season and the weather gets cooler, this would be a great opportunity to make sure your water pipes are properly insulated. In Arizona, it can get surprisingly cold during the winter months, and we want you to be prepared. We do get calls each winter from people whose pipes ended up bursting because they froze the night before.
First, you want to locate your exterior water pipes and see where they are at. Some may be located on the roof and some along the walls. If they are already insulated, you will want to check to see what condition the insulation is in? Being in Arizona, the sun can damage the insulation and cause it to warp or become brittle. Make sure you squeeze the insulation and if you hear cracks, see anything that flakes off, or feel it break, then I would advise to update it. If they are not insulated, you will want to grab some pipe insulation from the store and fit it around the pipes. Making sure it properly fits allows the pipes to be fully protected. It is easy to add or repair insulation, but we can always come out and inspect it for you. Many people forget to check their pipes because we do live in Arizona where it remains boiling hot most of the year. We would rather help protect your pipes now and save you money. Don’t hesitate to call us today and schedule a technician to come out!

It’s that time of year again...holiday music fills all the department stores and the smell of pumpkin spice is everywhere. The holidays are approaching, and will be here before we know it. While running around getting everything ready, did it ever occur to you about updating your bathrooms? Are you tired of that old 70s sunken bathtub, that ugly outdated tile or carpet in the bathroom, or are you just not happy with how your bathroom looks? Did you know, the bathroom is the most used room in the entire house? In a lifetime, men average 2.34 years and women average 2.11 years just in the bathroom. If we are in there the most, why don’t we make sure we are happy about it. Give us a call today and start planning your next update!
