Hug A Plumber

Posted on May 1, 2014March 9, 2016 by beeandjay

Last Friday, April 25th was National Plumber Day or Hug a Plumber Day depending on how close you are to your Plumber. We here, love our Plumbers, so with the help of Bucci Brother’s Deli in Mahopac we hugged our Plumbers with food.

Throwback Thursday

The original building 50 years ago. Check out Our Lady of The Lakes above the doors. What you ask, “is Our Lady of the Lakes?”

The original building owner, Herman, created a handmade wooden ornamental piece, named Lady of the Lakes, which at the time was proudly mounted over the front doors of the building (unlike today, Lake Mahopac was visible from our location on Route 6). Herman told us that she will look over the business. She now hangs on the wall in our conference room.

We’ve Been Busy

Posted on September 23, 2011March 9, 2016 by beeandjay

It’s been a couple of weeks since our last blog. We know you’ve missed us… and we’re sorry. Here’s what was keeping us from you.

Hurricane Irene! She hit us hard here in Westchester and Putnam Counties. We did a record number of sump pump replacements as well as flooded basement pump-outs.

WeveBeenBusy_hurricane-1

Power outages for numerous days resulted in multiple emergency generators to provide temporary power for all of our municipal districts. We basically worked around the clock maintaining water service for all of our customers in the area.

Residual power surges and brown-outs kept us busy responding to many of our residential customers whose submersible pumps and controls were damaged.

We replaced a few hot water heaters damaged by severe flooding. One customer had 4 feet of water in their utility room for us to pump out before we could replace their entire hot water heater complete with pipe, valves and wiring.

We’re hoping for a dry autumn, to bring life back to normal for our Techs and our valued customers.

Your Questions Answered

“My outside faucet runs fine when I turn it on, but when I connect a garden hose to it, the water starts to backup in the pipe and leak into the basement. Why?”
YourQuestions_hose-low-pressure
It sounds like your hose bib froze during the winter and you have a crack in the pipe from the faucet. You probably have a frost-proof sill-cock, which actually has a shut off valve inside the house, through a long stem from the handle. The crack is probably tight enough to prevent water from leaking when there is no back-pressure, but the moment you put a hose on and increase the back-pressure it leaks into the house. You should have it replaced. This is not a job for the average do-it-yourselfer. To prevent hose bibs from freezing, always disconnect water hoses before freezing temperatures arrive and cover hose bibs with an insulation kit.
