Angie's List is devoted to compiling consumer reviews of local service companies in order to help those requiring assistance to find the best companies available. One of it's members, Timothy Shinn, had the pleasure of appropriating plumbing services from All About the Pipes. According to Mr. Shinn, Chris' work was efficient and thorough. Instead of cutting corners, Chris worked in earnest to ensure the job was carefully completed. Even at the request of Mr. Shinn to do less work in an effort to save time and money, Chris refused. Chris and his staff understand the importance of a job well done - whether big or small. Read more about this article at the image link below:

 

Water damage is something that you certainly hope never happens to you. But when it does, you need to stop the flow of water as soon as you can to keep damage at a minimum. The most recent available statistics say that families lose over 6.8 billion dollars to flood damage annually. That's an average cost of almost $4,000 per homeowner.

But what if your home or business had a way to detect leaks within moments of them happening? Imagine the amount of possessions and documents you could save and the potential damage amounts that could be avoided.

This type of protection is exactly what Global Management Systems is offering with its WaterSafe residential and commercial leak protection system. WaterSafe places moisture sensors in areas of your home or business that are most likely to leak. These sensors, when wet, do two things: First, they shut off thewaterflow to the leak, often without disrupting the flow of water to the restof the structure. At the same time, the moisture sensing sytem sends an immediate e-mail to the home or business owner, informing them that there maybe a problem.

Imagine the comfort this could bring to you when you're away from home. For example, if the refrigerator starts leaking you could come home to a disastrous situation.The WaterSafe system not only helps to stop the leak, it saves your home orbusiness from expensive repairs and heavy insurance claims.

What's more, the system has a comprehensive warranty that covers up to $5,000 towardany insurance deductible.

All About the Pipes is certified to install the WaterSafe commercial and residential moisture detection systems. We would be happy to set up a FREE appointment with you to give you an estimate on protecting your home from any potential water-based problem. There's no obligation and there's no better time than now. If you're interested and live anywhere in the greater Charlotte area, give us a call at 704-559-5288 or visit www.allaboutthepipes.com.

Have you ever imagined what you could do with all of the time spent waiting to get hot water at your faucet or shower?

Did you ever wonder just how much water was going down the drain while you were just standing there? Why imagine, find out! The next time you turn on a faucet or shower place at least a gallon sized zip lock bag under the spout as soon as you turn on the hot water faucet. Now as soon as you have hot water turn the faucet off. How much water is in that bag? Each and every time you turn the hot water faucet on this is how much is being wasted. Now, multiply that by all of the fixtures in your home.

Have no fear there is an economical device that can eliminate that unnecessary waste of a precious resource, water. That device is called a recirculation pump. A recirculation pump is a small pump that is installed at your water heater. There is a tiny little valve installed at the furthest fixture from your water heater. It circulates the water through the cold water line so that the instant you turn on your faucet you have hot water within seconds. The costs to operate a recirculation pump are minimal not to mention an average family of four could save up to 12000 gallons of water or more a year. The money saved on the utility bill would look better in your wallet than that of the utility company.

This device becomes invaluable to a community that is plagued with draught conditions. During the long cold winter wouldn’t it be nice to jump into a hot shower as soon as your turn on the faucet? Now you can. All About the Pipes Plumbing, Inc. install the Grundfos Comfort System recirculation pump. This particular pump has a timer on it that allows you to determine if you want the pump to run all day or only at certain times during the day. If you have questions or would like to set up a free estimate, please do not hesitate to call our knowledgeable staff at All About the Pipes Plumbing, Inc. for further details at 704-559-5288.
