some people do it by the book (but i prefer to go by feel)

Summary: Shawn and Lassiter are undercover at a high-end resort where all visitors get their own private cabin. All the two need to do now is settle in — and chop up some wood to make a fire, of course. 

Notes: okay, so I’m basing this place off of the Big Cedar Lodge (I went there one year with my family on a road trip). I’m not sure if there’s a resort like it in California, but oh well. Currently as I’m writing this, it is 3 in the afternoon and the internet at my job is crappy and won’t let me look at maps without taking forever and a half to load it up. And if anyone knows me then they know that my patience is extremely limited (part of the reason why I’m only good at writing one shots lmao) and I don’t really feel like taking longer than necessary to make sure the made-up place I am writing for the made-up people to stay at actually exists. 

TL;DR this place exists in Branson, Missouri, but I’m too lazy to make sure a place like it also exists in California. 

Anyways, enjoy!! I know we all love a good Shassie at a cabin au.

Flufftober day 8: Chopping and Piling Wood

—————

Lassiter grunted as he swung his ax into the block of wood, chopping it neatly in two. He leaned over and tossed the half still sitting on the block and tossed it onto a small pile that was slowly building up. After throwing the other half onto the pile right after the first, he reached up and wiped a line of sweat beading on his forehead. 

Currently, he and Shawn were undercover as a married couple to investigate a few disappearances that were happening at the Great Pine Lodge. 

The place was as fancy as a cabin in the woods could get. Full plumbing, air conditioning for when it got hot, heaters for when it got cold, a large king size plush mattress complete with expensive feeling sheets and covers. And that was just the cabin. 

About a stone’s throw from where they were staying was a large beautiful lake, with water so clear Lassiter could almost see the bottom. 

The other cabins people were staying at were a decent distance from their own, close enough to see but not close enough to hear the inhabitants if they were inside. 

A paved road — not a gravel road — sat in front of the cabins, shuttle buses on speed dial on the rotary phone sitting on the bedside table inside, so that visitors wouldn’t have to waste their own cars’ gas to go to the dining hall, or the gift shop, or even the arcade (yes, this place had an arcade). 

Lassiter had always dreamed of going here one day. It was the perfect vacation spot for him and Shawn; fine dining, a beautiful view, activities the both of them would enjoy. 

But now was not the time for dreaming of a perfect vacation (although hopefully there’d be some time left for them to do so). Now was time for investigation. Or more aptly, chopping firewood, in Lassiter’s case. 

Before chopping another log, Lassiter stopped to reroll his sleeves that were slowly unraveling themselves. At the moment, all he was wearing was the button up he normally had on under his jacket, the pants to match said jacket, and his work shoes. He probably should’ve put a little more thought into his wardrobe. 

Too late. He’d committed and now he had to stick with it. Lassiter was just glad that Shawn was still unpacking inside. He was always self-conscious about his arms, how much of a stick he looked when he wasn’t wearing something loose — like his suit jacket. 

He looked at his biceps with disdain. It wasn’t like he was weak and couldn’t lift anything. His muscles just never showed unless he flexed them, hiding like some kind of sleeper agent, or whatever they were calling it nowadays. 

Whatever. So long as no one was here to see him make an idiot of himself trying to chop wood. Lassiter was eventually able to cut them into halves once he figured out a comfortable rhythm, but the start was just godawful. His first swing into the first log didn’t have enough weight behind it and was at an awkward angle, so it had bounced away from the wood and left only a small dent. His second swing was too strong and split right between the log and lodged itself into the chopping block. 

But he was better now, after cutting for what felt like hours, though realistically it had probably been thirty minutes. 

After placing another log down, Lassiter prepared to swing the ax once more when-

“That is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.” 

Lassiter nearly jumped out of his skin. There, leaning against the door was none other than his boyfriend. From what he could see, it looked like Shawn made himself a mug of something warm, judging by the faint steam emanating from it. Tea? Coffee? Hot cocoa? Probably the latter, knowing his boyfriend’s taste for sweet things. 

Lassiter felt the tips of his ears warm, and he knew they’d gone red. “How long were you standing there for?” 

“Ah, time is irrelevant-”

“Shawn.” 

“At least ten minutes.”

Ten minutes. Ten minutes of just watching him swing an ax at wood. Lassiter had no clue what he looked like when he was cutting wood, but he was probably ridiculous. Shawn had probably seen every mistake he’d made. 

Lassiter turned back around, doing his best to ignore the way Shawn was staring at him and lifted the ax once more. He swung with precision and split the log neatly. “Don’t lie, Shawn.” He said, referring to what Shawn had said that startled him. “You know I hate it-”

“What? No no no! Carly, I’m being serious! Look, this is my serious face.”

He didn’t look, not wanting to see his boyfriend who was most likely holding back laughter. He didn’t say anything either, simply returning to the task at hand. Although now he knew he had an audience, which somehow made swinging an ax ten times harder than it was originally. 

There was quiet, uncharacteristic for Shawn. Only the crunching of dead leaves and the swish of grass told Lassiter that he was walking over to him. 

“Back up. I don’t want to accidentally hit you with the-”

“Carlton, look at me. Lemme see those baby blues.” 

At the use of his name, Lassiter turned his head to Shawn. The lack of a nickname and his tone told the detective that he really was being serious. 

And he was right. Lassiter couldn’t remember the last time the otherwise childish man looked this serious about something. He said nothing as he looked into Shawn’s eyes, grass green grounding him. He dropped the ax, a dull thud breaking the quiet. 

“I love all of you, Carly. Doesn’t matter how much you hate it, I look and see you. I don’t see flaws, I see the sexiest body a man could ask for.”

Lassiter couldn’t help the grin, or the tiny laugh that bubbled out at the last thing Shawn said. “Alright, if you say so.” 

“I do say so, and my word is law. You should know this by now, Carlytown.” Shawn stated matter-of-factly. 

This time, Lassiter let out a snort at his boyfriend’s statement. “Is that right?”

“It is.” 

“Mhm. By the way, did you finish unpacking our stuff?” If his calculations were correct, Shawn had taken all of twenty minutes. And from past experience Lassiter knew that it took him at least an hour to get everything perfectly situated for the both of them. 

“We can do that later, I know you have a specific way you like to have your toothbrush set up. Right now there’s a suspect somewhere that’s begging to get caught.” 

“I’m not sure any criminal actually wants to get caught.”

“Really? Because I’m sensing they’re at the arcade right now, writing a secret message in morse code at the game where you have to shoot down those rubber ducks.” 

“Are they, or do you just want to go play games?” 

“That’s neither here nor there. Point is, I’ve already called a shuttle to pick us up and take us to the main building. They should be here in about… five minutes?” 

Lassiter stared at him incredulously. “Five- five minutes? And you’re only telling me this now because why?” That just barely left him with enough time to get out of his sweaty button up and into something clean. It was just the arcade, but he’d prefer to go out without smelling weird in public. 

“Well, I would have told you earlier, but I just couldn’t stop watching you chop that wood. Seriously, Carly, you have no idea how hot you looked swinging that ax.”

“I- alright, fine. Could’ve used more warning time, but it’s fine. Where’d you put my clothes?” 

“In the dresser on the left of the bed, everything’s in the top drawer.”

—————

Notes: yeah yeah yeah, the name of the place they’re staying at is just a rip from the place I based it off of. Sue me. 

oh and the title is a lyric in C'mon Girl by Red Hot Chili Peppers, i couldn't come up with an actual title by myself, sorry

These drawings are essential for obtaining the necessary permits to legally start construction. Understanding the requirements for these drawings is crucial for architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners alike, as it not only ensures compliance with local regulations but also helps in streamlining the approval process Building Permit Drawing Requirements. 

Detailed Site Plan

A detailed site plan is a top requirement for any building permit application. This drawing should provide a bird’s-eye view of the entire property and its surroundings. It must include boundary lines, the position of existing and proposed buildings, distances to property lines, roads, and other significant features like large trees or water bodies. The site plan should also show utility layouts such as water, sewer, electricity, and gas lines, which are critical for assessing the project's feasibility and impact on existing infrastructure.

Floor Plans

Floor plans are the blueprint of the project. They need to be detailed and clearly labeled, showing all dimensions, the purpose of each room, and the placement of windows and doors. These plans should reflect the current building codes and accessibility standards, including details such as the width of hallways and doorways, especially in commercial buildings where public accessibility may be a requirement.

Elevation Drawings

Elevation drawings provide a vertical depiction of the house or building from various angles—front, rear, and sides. These are important for understanding the aesthetic of the building and its impact on the neighborhood's character. Elevations must detail exterior finishes like cladding, windows, roofing, and decorative elements, which help the planning department assess whether the project's design is in harmony with local standards and zoning codes.

Cross-Section Drawings

Cross-section drawings cut through a structure to show internal components and are crucial for visualizing the building in three dimensions. These drawings must include wall construction details, insulation, flooring layers, roofing details, and ceiling heights. Cross-sections can also highlight unique architectural features and complex structural elements, ensuring that these are well planned and within code.

Structural and Engineering Details

For projects that involve substantial modifications or new constructions, detailed structural drawings and engineering calculations are necessary. These should outline the structural integrity of the building, including foundation plans, framing plans, and details about load-bearing walls. This part of the drawing set must be prepared and often certified by a licensed engineer, ensuring that the structure will be safe and stable.

Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Plans

MEP plans are essential, especially for larger or more complex buildings. These drawings show the layout of mechanical systems such as HVAC, electrical wiring including lighting fixtures, switch locations, and power layout, and plumbing schematics indicating water supply and waste lines. These detailed plans help inspectors ensure that all systems are designed according to current codes and are safe for future occupants.

Fire Safety and Evacuation Plans

Depending on the type and size of the building, fire safety and evacuation plans may also be required. These plans should show the placement of fire alarms, extinguishers, smoke detectors, and fire exits. They play a crucial role in ensuring that the building's design considers the safety and quick evacuation of its occupants in case of an emergency.

How to Measure Bathroom Sink Size: A Comprehensive Guide

Choosing the proper bathroom sink for your space is crucial for functionality and aesthetics. To ensure an excellent fit and optimal bathroom use, measuring the sink size accurately is essential. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to measure bathroom sink size. These steps can help you make informed decisions before selecting your new best bathroom sink, from measuring the width and depth to considering the installation type and clearance requirements.

Measure the Width and Depth

The width and depth of the bathroom sink are two key measurements to consider. Start by measuring the width, which refers to the distance from one side of the sink to the other. Use a tape measure to measure the outer edges of the sink, including any protruding features, such as the faucet handles. Next, measure the depth of the sink, which is the distance from the front edge to the back. Place the tape measure at the inside bottom of the sink and extend it vertically to the rim. These measurements will help you determine the overall size and ensure the sink fits comfortably within the available space.

Consider the Installation Type

Bathroom sinks come in various installation types, requiring different measurements and considerations. The typical installation types include drop-in sinks, under-mount sinks, wall-mounted sinks, pedestal sinks, and vessel sinks. For drop-in sinks, measure the dimensions of the countertop cutout where the sink will be placed. Undermount sinks require measurements of the inside dimensions of the cabinet or countertop opening. Wall-mounted sinks should be measured from the wall to the front edge of the sink. Pedestal sinks typically have a different base and sink component, so calculate both individually. Vessel sinks are placed on top of the countertop, so measure the available countertop space where the sink will sit. Understanding the specific requirements for each installation type will ensure you select a sink that fits seamlessly into your bathroom design.

Determine Clearance Requirements

When measuring bathroom sink size, it's essential to consider the necessary clearance requirements. Clearances ensure enough space around the sink for comfortable use and easy installation. Measure the distance between the sink and adjacent fixtures, such as toilets, bathtubs, or cabinets. This will prevent any obstructions and allow for smooth movement in the bathroom. Additionally, consider the space needed for faucet installation and operation. Measure the distance from the center of the faucet hole to the edge of the sink to ensure enough clearance for the faucet to function correctly.

Account for Plumbing Fixtures

Taking into account the plumbing fixtures is essential when measuring bathroom sink size. Measure the location and size of the existing drain opening and water supply lines. Ensure that your new best bathroom sink will align with the existing plumbing connections to avoid costly modifications or relocations. The drain opening should match the sink's drain hole size or be slightly larger for proper drainage. Measure the distance between the drain opening and the wall or back edge of the sink. This will help determine if there is enough space for the sink and plumbing fixtures to coexist harmoniously.

Consider User Comfort and Accessibility

In addition to the physical dimensions of the sink, it's essential to consider user comfort and accessibility. The height of the sink should be appropriate for the users, allowing for comfortable handwashing and minimizing strain. Measure the distance from the floor to the top of the sink to ensure it suits the intended users, whether adults, children, or individuals with mobility challenges. Accessibility guidelines recommend a sink height between 32 to 34 inches for most users. Additionally, consider the overall depth of the sink bowl to ensure that it provides sufficient space for handwashing and prevents excessive splashing.

Accurate measurement of bathroom sink size is crucial to ensure a proper fit and functional layout in your bathroom. You can make informed decisions when selecting a new bathroom sink by following these steps and considering factors such as width, depth, installation type, clearance requirements, plumbing fixtures, and user comfort. Remember to measure carefully, account for necessary clearances, and align with existing plumbing connections. By doing so, you will create a well-designed and functional bathroom space that meets your needs and enhances the overall aesthetics of your home.

Is Colorado Springs Tap Water Safe To Drink in [year]?

Is the water in Colorado Springs safe to drink? How clean is tap water in Colorado Springs? Where does the drinking water in Colorado Springs come from, and are there any contaminants in the water that exceed EPA or SDWA guidelines? You'll find all this information and more in this guide to Colorado Springs tap water quality and safety. 📌 Key Takeaways: - The drinking water in Colorado Springs, Colorado is considered generally safe to drink. - The City of Colorado Springs water contains 20+ contaminants, all of which are present in legally safe amounts. - The 3 biggest problem contaminants in Colorado Springs drinking water are disinfection byproducts, radium, and uranium. 🚰 Can You Drink Colorado Springs Tap Water? So, is Colorado Springs water safe to drink? Yes, you can drink Colorado Springs tap water because the City's water supplier filters and disinfects the water before distributing it to homes. This water treatment reduces contaminants down to legal trace concentrations and kills microorganisms, reducing the likely health effects of poor-quality water. The water in Colorado Springs is safe to drink according to EPA Standards. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the EPA produced drinking water standards that impose limits on the concentrations of various contaminants with known health effects in water. None of the contaminants detected in Colorado Springs water are present above these EPA Standards, which means that the water is legally safe to drink. Plus, the most recent EPA ECHO database shows that Colorado Springs Utilities didn't violate the Safe Drinking Water Act between April 2019 and June 2022, and the most recent violation was resolved back in 2018 - good news for customers who rely on the City's water for drinking. So, on the surface, Colorado Springs Utilities is doing everything right, treating the City's water to make it safe for drinking - but does legally safe mean completely safe? Some organizations, like the Environmental Working Group (EWG), would disagree. The EWG believes that the EPA's guidelines are too lenient, so public water systems that are technically legally compliant may still be exposing customers to dangerous levels of certain contaminants. This isn't helped by the fact that the EPA doesn't even regulate a number of potentially harmful impurities, including many disinfection byproducts and VOCs. Based on its own research, the EWG has established Health Guidelines for all the contaminants it deems to have health effects - and these Guidelines are a lot stricter than EPA enforcement. The EWG has produced a Tap Water Database for Colorado Springs, which highlights 10 contaminants that exceed the organization's Health Guidelines (we've discussed these in more detail later). One of the contaminants that massively compromises water safety is lead. Lead pipes were common in old water supply systems, and while the use of lead has now been banned for this purpose, many existing lead water pipes remain. We couldn't find any specific information about the lead pipes in Colorado Springs, but a 2022 news article reported that in the whole of Colorado, there are still around 80,000-90,000 lead service lines in the distribution system. This could mean you're unknowingly exposed to lead in your water - and considering the dangers of this toxic heavy metal, we strongly recommend conducting a water test if you're unsure. Homes built before 1978 may also have lead in their plumbing systems, so again, test your water if you have any reason to be concerned. 🗺️ Where Does the Tap Water in Colorado Springs Come From? Colorado Springs water originates predominantly in the Fountain Creek Watershed. This basin extends 927 square miles from Pueblo to Palmer Lake. The City doesn't have a natural source of water, which means that 80% of the water is distributed over a 200-mile distance in pipes from the western slope. City representatives admit that more work is needed to protect and restore the local watershed, which has been subject to the effects of fires, flooding, and rapid development over the past few years. The main water source in Colorado Springs is surface water. Surface water is exposed to the elements, making it more prone to pollution from runoff and air particles than groundwater (such as well water or spring water). However, most of the City's water comes from high-country snowmelt, which reduces its likelihood of pollution. Once collected, water in the City is treated by Colorado Springs Utilities. Treatment processes include coagulation, flocculation, filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection with chlorine. Polymer and aluminum sulfate are also added to the water during treatment. These chemicals bind with dirt particles and other foreign matter, helping them to form large clumps that can be easily removed with filtration. The City's water supply isn't fluoridated - the only fluoride found in the water is naturally occurring. After being treated in the water treatment plant, the water is delivered around the City via distribution pipes. source: Colorado Springs Utilities 📉 Who Regulates Colorado Springs Drinking Water? The City of Colorado Springs drinking water is managed by Colorado Springs Utilities and regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Like all public water systems, Colorado Springs Utilities must adhere to the EPA's protective water regulations, called National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. According to EPA guidelines, water must be treated to make it potable and safe to drink, and the water quality should remain consistent (with testing to prove this). Large public water systems are also monitored by the EPA for the presence of numerous contaminants that aren't currently regulated with official Standards, under the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR). According to EPA guidelines, public water systems should monitor their water and conduct regular tests. This testing can then be shared publicly and used to produce annual Consumer Confidence Reports (see below). Colorado Springs measures its water quality by conducting a range of tests for pH, color, turbidity, and the concentration of metals, nutrients, and other substances. 🧪 Colorado Springs Annual Water Quality Report The latest Water Quality Report (or Consumer Confidence Report) for Colorado Springs is dated from January to December 2021. The Report shares useful information about the City's water supply, including where it comes from, how it's treated, and which contaminants it contains. According to the Report, the trace contaminants detected in testing are present in concentrations that don't exceed the Maximum Contaminant Levels - but, of course, the presence of these contaminants means that the water isn't completely pure or safe to drink. For example, 5 PPB of uranium was listed as detected in the Report, which is well within the EPA's MCL of 30 PPB, so it's not a violation - but you'd probably rather drink water that's completely free from this radioactive heavy metal. Some of the contaminants listed in the Report include: - Copper - Lead - HAA5 - TTHMs - Combined radium - Combined uranium - Barium - Fluoride - Nitrate - Selenium - Xylenes We recommend reading through the full report to familiarize yourself with the contaminants detected and how these concentrations compare to EPA MCLs and Action Levels. It's worth keeping in mind that EPA regulations may be amended or updated occasionally, so the information in this Report is only specific to the 2021 period. ☣️ Contaminants Found Above Guidelines in Tap Water in Colorado Springs So, we know that the EPA deems Colorado Springs water to be safe to drink. But which contaminants does the Environmental Working Group deem to be present in potentially dangerous concentrations? We've shared these contaminants below. Haloacetic acids (HAA5)† and Haloacetic acids (HAA9)† HAA5 and HAA9 are two types of haloacetic acids that are produced as byproducts of chemical disinfection. Consuming high levels of HAA5 and HAA9 may increase your risk of several cancers, including colon, bladder, liver, and rectal cancer. 38.7 PPB and 37.00 PPB (parts per billion) of HAA5 and HAA9 were detected in Colorado Springs drinking water - between 387 and 617x the EWG's Health Advisories of 0.1 PPB and 0.06 PPB. EPA has set an MCL of 60 PPB for HAA5, while HAA9 currently isn't regulated. Radium (-226 & -228) Radium -226 and radium -228 - also known as radium combined - may cause anemia, depression of the immune system, and cancer if they're consumed in large concentrations. The EWG has set a Health Guideline of 0.05 pCi/L (picoCurie per liter) for these contaminants, and 0.31 pCi/L was detected in Colorado Springs water - 6.2 x this recommendation. The EPA's MCL for radium in drinking tap water is 5 pCi/L. Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs)† Another byproduct produced when disinfectants react with naturally occurring organic matter is total trihalomethanes (TTHMs). Consuming large quantities of TTHMs may increase your risk of cancers including bladder and colon cancers. 43.3 PPB of TTHMs were detected in Colorado Springs drinking water - 289x the EWG's recommended Health Guideline of 0.15 PPB. The EPA has set a much higher MCL of 80 PPB for these contaminants. Other Disinfection Byproducts Several other disinfection byproducts, including bromodichloromethane, chloroform, dibromochloromethane, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, were also detected in Colorado Springs drinking water. Most of these contaminants don't currently have MCLs, but the EWG has recommended Health Guidelines of 0.06-o.4 PPB (depending on the contaminant in question). The disinfectant byproducts in Colorado Springs water are present in quantities 5.9 to 241x these Guidelines. Uranium Uranium is a radiological contaminant that occurs naturally in the earth and may cause kidney damage if consumed in excess. 1.24 pCi/L of uranium was detected in San Diego tap water - that's 2.9x the EWG Health Guideline of 0.43 pCi/L. The EPA has set a MCL for this contaminant of 20 pCi/L in water. Colorado Springs is no different from the majority of other public water utilities in that disinfection byproducts are its main water quality issue. When chlorine is used to treat drinking water, disinfection byproducts are usually an unavoidable outcome. They're produced when chlorine reacts with naturally occurring organic matter in the water, and the only way to prevent their formation is to avoid chemical disinfection entirely. What makes it worse is that the EPA only regulates a few types of this drinking water contaminant, despite the fact that numerous disinfection byproducts have been linked to health concerns including cancer. 🧫 Main Contaminants Found in Colorado Springs Tap Water Now we know the contaminants present in potentially dangerous levels in the Colorado Springs water supply, what about the contaminants present in safe levels (according to both the EPA and the EWG)? These contaminants include: - Antimony - A naturally occurring metal that is present in soils and rocks; drinking extremely contaminated water is unlikely but may cause short-term effects including nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. - Barium - A non-toxic metal that's found in some sedimentary and igneous rocks; may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping if consumed in excess; very large amounts may cause paralysis and death. - Chromium-6 (hexavalent chromium) - The most dangerous form of chromium; may cause liver and reproductive system damage if large amounts are ingested in drinking water. - Disinfection byproducts including chlorate and monobromoacetic acid - Produced when disinfectants like chlorine react with organic matter; may cause an increased cancer risk and liver damage if consumed in excess. - Fluoride - A mineral found naturally in Colorado Springs water (the City doesn't artificially fluoridate its water), not known to affect drinking water quality but may cause dental fluorosis or discoloration of the teeth. - Manganese - A mineral often present alongside calcium that's known to cause hard water effects like limescale staining, poor lather with soap, and appliance clogging; doesn't affect human health at low levels. - Molybdenum - A micronutrient for plants and animals; ingesting large amounts of this contaminant may cause fatigue, joint pain, headache, and loss of appetite. - Nitrate and nitrite - Two forms of nitrogen that are known to affect the blood's ability to carry oxygen, increase the risk of certain cancers, and have other health effects when consumed in large amounts in water. - Strontium - A heavy metal that may be mistaken as calcium in the body; ingesting large amounts may cause strontium to replace calcium in the bones, affecting their structure. - Total chromium - Refers to both chromium-6 (mentioned above) and chromium-3 (or trivalent chromium, mostly harmless) in water. - Vanadium - A naturally occurring metal that is found in low levels in surface water sources; this drinking water contaminant doesn't have negative health effects in small amounts. ⛲ Colorado Springs Drinking Water in Public Places The public places in Colorado Springs, like hotels, restaurants, and bars, use the same tap water supply as the homes and businesses in the City. That means, unless stated otherwise, it's safe to drink faucet water in these public places. If you ask at a restaurant, you should be served tap water for free. However, keep in mind that restaurants aren't legally required to provide free drinking water. In Colorado hotels, most bathroom sinks now have safe drinking water. Some older hotels might not, so check at reception if you're unsure. You should be able to get clean tap water from the hotel bar. You might choose to buy bottled water rather than drinking water in public places in Colorado. Some bottled water manufacturers treat drinking water with processes like reverse osmosis, making it cleaner and healthier than public drinking water. However, we recommend using a water filter to treat your water at home (when you can) to reduce the environmental effects of single-use plastic consumption. Related Content: - Ranking the US States with the Best Tap Water: Our Comprehensive List - Everything You Need to Know About Water Quality and Testing in 💬 Frequently Asked Questions Where does the drinking water in Colorado Springs come from? The drinking water in Colorado Springs primarily comes from the Rocky Mountains. Most of this water is snow melt, meaning that it usually hasn't been used and is less likely to be polluted than water in lower-level sources. The majority of Colorado Springs water is surface water (meaning that it's sourced from aboveground water supplies). How clean Is tap water in Colorado Spring? Colorado Springs tap water is considered clean. It's not entirely contaminant-free, but only trace levels of around 20 contaminants were detected in the City's water supply. If you live in Colorado Springs and you want to drink purified water, you'll need to install a water filtration system in your home. Can you drink faucet water in Colorado Springs? Yes, you can drink faucet water in Colorado Springs. Just make sure that the faucet is designed to deliver drinking water (for example, some bathroom faucets contain heavy metals because they're only intended to deliver water for hand washing). Also make sure that your home's plumbing system or the gooseneck connecting your home to the City's water supply doesn't contain lead, which is highly unsafe to drink. Does Colorado Springs water contain fluoride? Yes, Colorado Springs water contains trace levels of natural fluoride - but the City doesn't fluoridate its water. Many states add artificial fluoride to their drinking water supplies for the mineral's dental health benefits, but Colorado Springs does not. Your water's natural fluoride levels may vary depending on its source. How is Colorado Springs tap water disinfected? The tap water in Colorado Springs is disinfected with chlorine. Chlorine is a common disinfectant for water utilities because it's affordable and easy to use for large-scale treatment. However, the problem with chlorine is that it can contaminate water with disinfection byproducts, which have several known health effects but (for the most part) aren't currently regulated by the EPA.

10 Mistakes To Avoid When Installing A Plumbing System

Are you searching for "emergency plumber near me" on the internet to help with your plumbing issues like fixing your hot water system? Installing a new plumbing system can be time-consuming and complicated. It’s important to take your time and not rush the process, otherwise, you may inadvertently make mistakes that have expensive consequences.

In this day and age, almost everyone knows at least something about plumbing services, maintenance and DIY’er tasks around the house. However, when it comes to the installation of an entire home plumbing system it takes much more skill and professionalism. There are many things that can go wrong if you try breezing through it yourself without taking the necessary steps or hiring a professional local plumber.

In this article, we will take you through 10 common plumbing mistakes that people make when installing a plumbing system which should help you avoid making costly blunders.

1. Skipping the knowledge of building codes 

Failing to stay up-to-date with local building codes is one of the most common errors people make when installing their own plumbing system. Many states require professional licenses to install a residential or commercial plumbing solution so review the rules and regulations in your area prior to taking on any project.

2. Ignoring proper drainage design and drain cleaners

An improper drainage design can cause backup problems, blocked drains, overflowing toilets and fixtures, and low water pressure in other areas throughout your building, resulting in extensive repairs down the road. Make sure to allow for proper slope for good drainage whenever adding new pipes and fittings or extension piping for an existing structure or remodelling job.

3. Not double-checking connections

When dealing with gas lines, one small mistake can have catastrophic consequences which is why double-checking connections is so important. Be sure to check all joints prior to testing any gas line and test each individual portion of the pipe separately instead of testing them all at once as this will highlight any potential weak connections that may need adjustment before you expose yourself and others to the risk of harm due to poor piping practices.

4. Choosing the wrong size pipe

Choosing a pipe size too small won’t provide enough flow for consistent functionality and choosing a pipe size too large wastes spare parts material as well as money since larger pipes require more materials costs plus labour charges depending on who’s doing the plumbing job installation. Always take into account your desired flow rates when sizing these copper pipes accordingly ahead of time instead of waiting until after installation has been completed

5. Neglecting water hammer arrester installation

If not installed properly, sudden pressure surges caused by valve shutoff or high-velocity water supply flow can cause intense vibrations (water hammer) throughout your entire piping network – leading to leaks unless you install an arrester along with pressure-reducing valves wherever necessary across the entire system prior to running any tests

6. Forgetting clean-outs and shutoffs

Many local codes may also require cleanouts buried below ground level at certain intervals across all branch lines within your building’s plumbing system so be aware of these requirements prior to starting work on any project if applicable in your given situation Plumbing shut-offs or turning off the water valves should also be clearly labelled (ease in maintenance) either above sink/shower units or visible nearby wall surfaces wherever water flows within these respective locations throughout the house/building

7. Overlooking venting requirements 

Venting must be done properly as outlined under local city code specifications otherwise unpleasant odour symptoms may occur from improper fresh air circulation within any sewage line system. 

This generally occurs whenever the vertical distance between the sewer line and the outdoor vent exceeds six feet outward for appropriate ventilation unless special circumstances exist such as running drain pipes beneath floors slab foundation systems then additional consideration must be made

8. Failing to use pipe joint compounds on threaded connections

When assembling threaded fittings together always use approved pipe joint compound upon threads (Teflon tape) otherwise gas/plastic tubes might come apart later due to corrosion buildup over extended periods of exposure.

This holds especially true when dealing with plastic-based PVC/ABS fittings where pieces sometimes do not fit snugly together. Few things are more frustrating than experiencing a leak eventually because insufficient lube compounds used during the initial work procedure

9. Ignoring water pressure ratings 

Each pipe has its own pressure rating which must be taken into account when designing a plumbing system. Don’t assume that all pipes or pipe wrenches will hold the same amount of pressure as this is not always the case and could lead to serious plumbing problems down the line if not properly accounted for ahead of time

10. Not testing for leaks

Last but not least, it is always wise to test the entire system prior to finalizing work. Make sure to check each joint connection separately using a garden hose water pressure gauge or even better if possible use professional-grade equipment such as a hydrostatic testing device This way can make sure there are no hidden leaks present before finalizing the project. Hiring a professional and fully licensed plumber near you is highly recommended if you want a safe and secured plumbing system. If you’re having a hard time looking for the nearest plumber in your area, you can try searching for “plumber near me” on the internet to help you out.

PVC Pipes & Fittings

Polyvinyl chloride is known as PVC. This polymer of chlorinated hydrocarbons exists. It is stiff and brittle in its unaltered condition. However, it becomes more durable and bendable with chemicals like plasticisers.

Production of PVC conduit pipes by DIPLAST started in 1972. PVC pressure pipes and fittings, plumbing pipes and fittings, column pipes, SWR pipes and fittings, conduit pipes and fittings, water storage tanks, PPR pipes and fittings, CPVC pipes and fittings, dustbins, trolleys, portable toilets, benches, compost bins, and planters are just a few of the products the company now manufactures. Since that time, it has significantly expanded.      

USED FOR:

PVC pipes are widely used in the water supply industry. PVC pipes make up the majority of the main water pipelines. PVC pipes are also used in large-scale irrigation systems and sanitary sewage networks.

PVC pipes are utilised in plumbing, drainage, agricultural irrigation, power & telecommunications networks, and the ductwork of heating and cooling systems in both home and commercial settings.

Benefits of PVC pipes:

In many industries, PVC pipes are the chosen medium for moving power and water. The primary reasons for their widespread use are their strong resistance to heat and corrosion.

Compared to concrete and metal, PVC and flowing liquids have less friction because of their smooth surface. As a result, it is a preferred material for pipes that transport water.

It is portable and simple to move over long distances to lay pipelines. Because less fuel is required to transport them, they are environmentally friendly.

Since a relatively straightforward process is used for its mass production, it is cost-effective.

It is a versatile material with various uses because it is simple to mould into different shapes.

It is resilient to high levels of stress and robust and long-lasting. This qualifies it as a promising material for subterranean pipes and pipelines carrying pressured fluids.

How to lay a floor drain

Plumbing pipes for floor drains are installed between a fitting on the main drain line and the underside of the drain. The connector on the main line includes a vent riser pipe that passes through the roof to provide the necessary air exchange in the pipes. A short riser pipe at the bottom of the drain is connected to a quarter-curved fitting, allowing water to flow freely instead of backing up at the drain. Installing a floor drain allows the do-it-yourselfer to apply basic plumbing skills.

Consult a plumbing plan or your blueprint and mark the location of the floor drain on a floor joist. Alternatively, if you are renovating or installing a drain in an existing floor, mark the outline for the front of the floor drain on the subfloor and cut the opening with a jigsaw.

Insert the floor drain into the opening on the floor. Walk the underside of the subfloor through a crawlspace at the location of the drain.

Measure the distance from the floor drain to the drain spigot on the main drain line. Record the measurement.

Cut a 12 cm length of ABS pipe to be installed between the main drain and the floor drain using a pipe cutter on wheels or a miter saw. Remove burrs from the cut end with a file. If the pipe length exceeds 300 cm, attach a 12 cm ABS connector to one end of the pipe with ABS adhesive.

Attach one end of the drain pipe to the main line connector with ABS glue.

Cut a piece of ABS pipe to use as a riser, which is inserted into the connector at the bottom of the floor drain and extends straight down to the bottom of the floor joists. Cement one end of the riser pipe to the floor drain.

Connect the bottom end of the riser pipe and the end of the drain pipe with a 5 cm ABS quarter elbow fitting and cement.

Install plumber's tapes 120 cm apart from end to end as supports for the drain pipe. Fasten one end of a tape to the side of a floor joist with two 8d framing nails and a hammer. Place the strap around the pipe and raise or lower the pipe as needed to prevent it from bending down or up. Attach the other end of the strap to the side of the adjacent floor joist.

Preparing Your Space for Kitchen Cabinet Installation

Before beginning your kitchen cabinet installation project, it’s important to take the right measurements for your cabinet placement. Using an electronic stud finder can help you do this. Once you’ve found a stud, you’ll need to draw vertical lines on both sides of the wall stud. This will help you anchor your cabinet mounting screws into the studs.

Preparing the space

The first step to installing new kitchen cabinets is to prepare the space. You should measure the area where you intend to place the cabinets and take note of any rough spots or bumps. For instance, if the kitchen is in an older home, the floor may be uneven. In such a case, you should use a level and an 8-foot-long 2×4 board to mark the high point of the floor. This way, you can easily mark the height of base cabinets.

You should also remove old kitchen cabinets before installing new ones. They may damage the walls, floors, and plumbing. Also, they may make it difficult to make any future electrical or plumbing upgrades. Make sure you have everything you need before installing new cabinets. You can also consult with a general contractor for assistance.

Next, you should mark the wall studs with an electronic stud finder. Mark both sides of each stud and make sure they are in the same direction. This way, you can avoid any possible installation difficulties. Also, mark the wall locations where the new cabinets will go.

The space where you plan to install the kitchen cabinets should be safe for the installation crew. If you plan to hire a professional company, it is important to ensure that it has a covered area for safe working. You should also consider the weather. Many companies do not like to work outside due to liability issues. Make sure to discuss the options with the installation crew before hiring them.

Before putting in your new cabinets, you need to align the high point of the cabinets with the high point of the wall. If there are any gaps, you may need to add filler strips. You should also make sure that the space between the cabinet and the wall is even.

Getting accurate measurements

When installing kitchen cabinets, getting accurate measurements is important for the installation process. You need to know the width of your walls and the width of your floor in order to determine the right placement of the cabinets. Then, measure the distance between the cabinets and walls, including any obstructions. For example, if your wall cabinet will be placed over an object, you may have to move it to make room for the new cabinet. You should also note the height of your ceiling so that your cabinets can be installed properly.

You should also measure vertically, which can make the installation of some design features easier. Take measurements of the ceiling, doors, windows, and any other features that are attached to the walls. Even if your kitchen is completely stripped down, you may still have major appliances or other accessories attached to the wall. Take the measurements of these and round the measurements to the nearest sixteenth inch.

Once you know the height of your ceiling, you can begin measuring the height of your upper cabinets. In most homes, you’ll have a height of about 8 feet. However, if your ceiling is higher than that, you’ll need to measure the height of the soffit above the top of the cabinets.

In addition to the height, you should also measure the width of your walls. You can do this by tracing your measurements on paper. For example, if you have an L-shaped kitchen, you should measure the length of your walls from the bottom of the soffit to the top of the ceiling. These measurements are important for determining the proper placement of your cabinets in your kitchen.

Mounting to a wall stud

The first step in mounting your new kitchen cabinet to a wall stud is to remove all loose drywall from the area where you intend to mount the cabinet. Next, install a 2″x4″ drywall cross piece horizontally across the gap between two existing studs. Then, toe nail the cross piece to the wall. Finally, you can apply drywall compound to the joint.

You can also locate a wall stud by using a stud finder. This is a device that can help you find wall studs and mark their locations. In addition, it can tell you if an area is solid or hollow. If you cannot find a stud in the wall, you can use a drywall stud finder to locate it.

Next, use a stud finder to locate the studs in the area where you’d like to mount your new cabinet. It will help you to place the plywood panels evenly. Make sure the screws reach at least two or three studs in the wall. After that, mount your cabinet to the wall with sturdy wall screws or a cordless drill. Be sure that the cabinet is level, so you’ll know whether it’s sitting flush with the wall.

To install a new kitchen cabinet on a wall stud, you’ll need a stud metal detector, a cabinet jack, and two carpenter’s levels. A stud metal detector is a great tool, and it’s easy to use. It’ll locate metal studs in walls and make it easier to mount a cabinet. After locating the studs, run the metal stud detector along the wall and mark their edges with a pencil.

Once you’ve marked the studs, you can attach the cabinet to them. Then, align the face frames and clamp them together. Make sure to use hand-screw clamps that don’t flex, as this will help your cabinets stay put. Before screwing them together, pre-drill a 1/8-in. hole. If your cabinets are going to be visible, use a less noticeable cabinet as the drywall surface to drill the hole.

Installing filler strips

You can start by installing the filler strips on the walls and between the cabinets. Install one filler strip next to each cabinet, and you should leave a gap between the top and bottom of the cabinets. Use a belt sander to shape the filler to the contour of the wall.

Before you begin, ensure that the wall is level. After that, you can attach the filler strip to the frame of the kitchen cabinets. If you’re unsure how to do this, you can use a cardboard template to help you make accurate cuts. Next, apply wood glue or silicone to secure the filler strips to the cabinets.

When installing a filler strip, you’ll need to make sure that it is at least a half inch wider than the cabinet. You’ll also need to measure the gaps before you install the filler strips. It’s important to have a minimum of two-inch gaps between the strips. Filler strips are especially important if the cabinets are installed against walls or at right angles to other cabinets.

Before you install the filler strips, you’ll need to mark the shape of the cabinets. To do this, lay out the cabinet layout and measure the length and width of the filler strips. Then, use a pencil to trace the shape on the filler strips. Make sure you use a sharp pencil and a compass to make accurate measurements. After you’re sure that the filler strip is the correct size, use a belt sander to remove excess material.

After you’ve drilled pilot holes, attach the filler strips to the sides of the cabinets. If the cabinet’s sides are uneven, you’ll need to add a piece of dead wood to the cabinet’s side. If the filler strips aren’t flush with the edges, the screw head will not seat properly.

Working with a professional

Hiring a professional to install kitchen cabinets can help ensure the quality of the final product. Cabinet installation is a complex process, requiring precise measurements and careful planning. The cabinets should be level and fit into the existing layout without disrupting the flow of the room. Professional installers also take care to cover the floor with sheets and ensure that the cabinets are securely attached to the walls. They should also seal the seams to avoid damage or pest infestation. Furthermore, they will be sure that all the hinges are properly adjusted for the best performance.

When working with a professional for kitchen cabinet installation, you can avoid the mistakes that are often made when installing a new cabinet. For example, a mistaken measurement can lead to improper placement of the cabinet’s doors and shelves. As a result, the cabinets may be crooked or have uneven surfaces. You could also end up with appliances that don’t fit properly or doors that don’t open.

A professional kitchen cabinet installer in New York City knows exactly how to install new cabinets to meet your specifications. He or she knows building codes and any restrictions. Additionally, they will oversee the project and be ready to step in when problems arise. The project management can save you a considerable amount of time and money when you’re renovating your kitchen.

When installing new kitchen cabinets, you need to consider the time and effort involved. It may seem daunting and difficult, but you can actually do it yourself with clear instructions and standard tools. An excellent step-by-step installation guide will explain which tools to use and how to prepare the room for the installation. It will also make the installation more efficient if you have a second person to help you. When two people work together, they can review each step before beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should pots and pans go in the kitchen?

Pots and pans are best kept in the cupboard above the stove. This allows them to be easily accessed when they are needed and helps keep your kitchen clean and clutter-free. You may also want to invest in a pot rack to help keep your pots and pans organized and within easy reach.

Can a stove or refrigerator be placed side-by side?

Yes, they can be side by side if there is enough space for both appliances. It is not a good idea in kitchen design. This can make your kitchen cramped and waste space. It is better to put the stove/refrigerator in different places in the kitchen. This will allow for more efficient workflow and make the kitchen feel larger.

What is the 5-zone kitchen?

Innovative design allows for efficient cooking in a smaller space. It includes five cooking areas: A sink area; a stove area; a refrigerator area; a food preparation and preparation area; and a dining room. This allows for each cook to have his or her own space and eliminates need for large kitchens with multiple appliances.

German kitchen designer Maximil invented the 5-zone kitchen, often used in European-style kitchens. It’s also a good option for families who want to reduce time and effort by cooking together in one area.

If you are considering a 5-zone kitchen for your home, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, space is essential to allow for all five zones. Each zone must be ventilated properly to prevent any lingering smells and fumes. The third aspect of the kitchen layout must allow for easy movement among each zone.

A 5-zone kitchen is a great option for anyone who wants a more functional and elegant kitchen. This kitchen can be a valuable addition to any home with the right planning.

What are the five-zone kitchen’s benefits?

There are many benefits to the 5-zone cooking, such as:

Improved efficiency – Each cook has their very own area to work in. This eliminates the need of moving between several appliances.

It is more elegant – the 5-zone Kitchen is used often in European-style kitchens.

better ventilation – each zone is adequately ventilated, which prevents smells and fumes from lingering in the kitchen;

Improved layout – The kitchen layout should make it easy to move between the zones.

What is the first step in designing a kitchen renovation?

There is no one answer to this question since every kitchen renovation project is different and will require a unique approach. However, the first step in designing a kitchen renovation is to develop a clear understanding of your specific goals and needs.

This could involve meeting with an architect, designer, or other professional to discuss your ideas.

Once you have an idea of your goals, you can start planning your budget and getting estimates from potential contractors. You must also create a timeline for your kitchen remodel to ensure you stay on the right track and avoid any surprises.

Working with an architect or professional kitchen designer will allow them to take charge of the design planning. However, it’s still vital that you are clear about your goals and needs from the start. This will ensure that the final design meets all your expectations and that you are happy with the result.

When measuring your kitchen space, including the overall square footage and the dimensions of individual areas like countertops, cabinets, appliances, windows, and doors. It’s a good idea if you note any existing structural elements such as load-bearing walls and support beams that cannot be removed. It is helpful to draw a floor plan layout in order to visualize how your new design will look.

It is easy to narrow your search for kitchen design ideas by creating a mood board or an inspiration folder. Pinterest is an excellent resource for finding images of kitchens you love, so spend some time browsing there. You can also pull out pages of magazines and collect paint chips or fabric swatches. This will provide you with valuable information as you begin to plan your renovation.

Once you have a plan in place for your new kitchen, you can begin to consider the budget and timeline. How much money do you have to spend on this project? What are your must-haves versus nice-to-haves? When do you need the renovation completed? Answering these questions will help you move forward with the planning process.

If you plan on renovating your kitchen by yourself, you will need to account for the cost of materials and appliances as well as countertops, cabinets, countertops, and other essentials. It is important to factor in the cost of materials, appliances, countertops, cabinets, and disruptions to your day. You will receive a detailed estimate from the contractor if they are handling the renovation. This will include all costs and a timeline.

A timeline is crucial for kitchen renovations. It will help you stay on the right track and prevent any surprises. Once you know when each stage should take place, you can begin to create a detailed schedule. For any unexpected delays, make sure you allow for flexibility.

By following these steps, you can develop a clear plan for your kitchen renovation. This will allow you to ensure the end result is what you want and the entire process goes smoothly.

How To

How to design the kitchen you’ll be able to enjoy cooking in for years

Kitchen designs should be designed with functionalities, aesthetics, and practicality. Your kitchen should be designed with functionality in mind so that it feels like home.

Here are some tips to help plan your dream kitchen.

Choose the layout that suits your needs best. L-shaped, U shaped, and galley are the most common kitchen layouts. L-shaped Kitchens are perfect for entertaining, and can easily hold multiple cooks. U-shaped cooking areas are great for families with lots of family members. Galley kitchens can be used in small spaces and are easy to navigate.

Take the time to research all options in cabinetry, and then choose high quality products. There are many options available to you, depending on your budget. High-end cabinets are a great investment. They will last for a longer time, look better, provide greater protection against temperature and humidity changes, as well as being more durable.

Go with a color scheme that makes you happy. No matter what color you like, you can find a color combination that will bring life and color into your kitchen. You could use bright colors, or soft pastels. Just make sure it matches the rest of the room.

It is important to find the right balance between function & beauty. It is not necessary that your kitchen be stunning all the time. Sometimes it is more important to think about functionality than appearances. However, this does not mean that you shouldn’t include some decorative elements. For a striking focal point, use a mixture of glass and metals like chrome, brass or ceramic.

Create a comfortable environment. Remember that comfort is the most important thing when designing your kitchen. This space will be used a lot, so it should feel welcoming and comfortable. Add seating areas, lighting fixtures, or other features that will make you feel relaxed after a long work day.

Don’t forget about storage. Storage space is essential in a kitchen. It should have enough storage for all your cooking and utensils. You should think about adding extra cabinets when remodeling your kitchen.

Include a pantry. You can store and organize food items in a dedicated pantry. You can also store extra supplies in a separate area to prevent clutter building up around your kitchen.

A new flooring option might be worth considering. Your kitchen’s overall appearance and feel will be affected by the flooring you choose. There are many choices. To save on transition pieces, you can use the same flooring across the entire house if it is small.

Plan for expansion. The biggest mistake people make when remodeling their kitchens, is not allowing enough room for future growth. If you’re considering expanding, add another walk-in closet, install sliding doors, or expand your current countertop space.

It is important to allow plenty of natural light. Being able to see your work is the best way you can enjoy your kitchen. If you intend to use your kitchen as a gathering place for the family, make sure you let plenty of natural light through your windows.

Install energy-efficient appliances. It is important to consider energy efficiency when remodeling your kitchen. This means replacing old appliances with more efficient models.

Budget wisely. Make sure you do an in-depth analysis of your finances before shopping for appliances, cabinets, and other kitchen items. The best way to narrow down your options is to know what you can afford. This will save you time and money in the long term.

Designate a space for entertaining. No matter if you like hosting dinner parties at home or entertaining friends over drinks and food, having a designated dining space will provide a place for your guests to gather and socialize.

Consider adding an island to your kitchen. A island is a great addition to your kitchen. It provides additional prep and eating space, as well as serving as a place to store beverages, snacks and other small items.

Cured In Place Piping (CIPP)

Lateral lining (CIPP) is a trenchless pipe repair technology used when the existing pipe is still in a circular shape but has problems such as separations, root penetrations, cracking, pinholes, is missing pipe, has misaligned pipes, or is rough. It usually allows us to repair the problem with NO DIGGING. And unless it’s an especially large job, we fix your problem in 1 DAY..

BENEFITS:

No Digging

1 Day Repairs

Cost Effective

PIPES BEFORE CIPP

NEW PIPE AFTER CIPP

HOW PIPE LINING (CIPP) WORKS

ANALYZE

We analyze the situation and inspect the pipe using a CCTV camera to determine existing problems and if CIPP would be the best repair solution.

PREPARE

We clean the pipe so it is free of debris.  Often this is done using hydrojetting, but we have other hardware available if necessary.  Then we measure the distance we would like to “line” and cut a fiberglass and/or felt sleeve to that length.  The sleeve is then wetted down with epoxy.

INSTALL

The epoxy-impregnated sleeve is folded and slid into the existing pipe. When it is installed in the right location, a rubber bladder is inflated, and the epoxy is allowed to dry.

FINISH

After the epoxy has cured, we remove the inflatable bladder, leaving behind a new, circular pipe that covers the problem area. The new pipe is non-corrosive and does not allow root intrusion.  Once again we perform a CCTV inspection to make sure everything is good to go.  You are back in service.

Occasionally an access point might need to be excavated or the job might take longer than one day. Cost effective compared to traditional pipe replacement that requires extensive digging.

WHERE CIPP CAN BE USED

SINGLE FAMILY HOMES

When a homeowner is faced with plumbing problems such as a leaking sewer line due to root intrusion, his or her first reaction may be to call a plumber to fix the issue. However, there are better, less destructive alternatives to replacing pipes or repiping: pipe bursting and cured in place pipe repair.

Restore Pipe Systems can help you repair your home’s pipe problems more quickly and less destructively than traditional repipe or pipe replacement.

MULTI-TENANT / FAMILY BUILDINGS

As the owner or manager of a multifamily building(s), you not only have to make decisions as to the most cost effective way to fix a pipe problem, you also have to be mindful of the inconvenience this will cause your tenants.

Nu Flow technology offers you a less disruptive and more viable option for pipe renewal because it has the ability to fix both pressurized piping systems and non-pressurized piping system using existing access points.

Restore Pipe Systems, which uses proven Nu Flow technology, will help you solve your piping concerns with minimal disruption to your daily operations. This is true whether your piping issue is related to drain pipes failing from corrosion, root intrusion, structural failure, or copper pinhole leaks.

HOSPITALS

Due to the “always open”, high-demand nature of hospital care, replacing pipes or repiping could mean a huge expense and potential down time in critical areas that cannot afford to be inaccessible. Hospitals do not want to disrupt patient care. For facilities such as these, Restore Pipe System’s use of Nu Flow solutions can play an integral role in renewing pipe systems without disrupting your hospital’s daily critical functions.

For a hosptial, being able to repipe without hindering patient care is critical not only to the hospital but to the people and communities these hospitals serve.

In addition, Restore Pipe Systems can install complete interior infrastructure solutions for any commercial facility or structure including office buildings, schools, restaurants, multi-unit residential buildings, museums, hospitals and more.

Restore Pipe Systems can provide you solutions that minimize student and tenant displacement, all while reducing the amount of time required to complete a rehabilitation project. Reduce student disruption and educational building destruction—call Restore Pipe Systems now: (801) 564-0089.

RETIREMENT & NURSING FACILITIES

Whether your retirement or nursing community is large or small, Restore Pipe Systems can provide a less disruptive and more cost effective solution to drain pipe and leaking pipes problems than traditional repairs that require large amounts of demolition or trenching.

HOTELS, RESORTS, & CASINOS

For managers at hotels, resorts or casinos, the potential loss of revenue caused by pipe renewal projects is all too real. This may create a temptation to order “quick fix” repairs. However, these are not the answer. Instead of doing something that only solves your problem for a short time, we can provide a long-term solution to pipe problems that is less destructive and only minimally disruptive to business operations.

Restore Pipe Systems Systems will create a cost-effective plan that is less destructive than traditional repair methods and that will also allow you to continue generating revenue in areas of the hotel or resort where we are not working.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

Issues with pipes are inevitable and must be faced. Restore Pipe Systems can provide you an efficient and cost effective repair solution with minimal disruption to your customer and tenants.

INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

Industrial buildings are are used for a variety of purposes, including Mining, Brewing, Factories, Power Plants, Drilling rigs, Refineries, and Warehouses. All of these have the potential problem of damaged pipe systems.

For example, pipes might be cracked, broken, or experience a loss of structure. Or perhaps they will suffer from corrosion, pinhole leaks, and clogged drainage systems. Of course, building managers or owners may have to deal with other pipe-related problems too.

When you are faced with these inevitable pipe problems, call Restore Pipe Systems. We provide an efficient and cost effective repair solution with minimal disruption to your operations.

HISTORICAL BUILDINGS

Historical buildings should be preserved as much as possible and kept in good condition.

CLASS A HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

Regardless of how your class A high rise building is used, its piping will eventually leak, corrode, or fail.

In such a case, Nu Flow technology offers an exceptional alternative.

Restore Pipe Systems can offer property managers, engineers, and owners a plan that will provide a cost effective solution that best fits your needs. We’ll take into account the day-to-day operations of your building, repairing your pipe safely and efficiently.

HOA / CONDO ASSOCIATIONS

HOA boards sometimes inherit decisions made by previous boards or property managers. They may also be responsible for decisions regarding the infrastructure of condos and homes. When pipe issues arise, the members of the board may have different ideas as to the best solution since the board may be composed of people from different walks of life, each having their own view.

Restore Pipe Systems can help you make a unified, educated decision. We can even help communicate with and educate homeowners on the pros and cons of CIPP versus traditional methods of replacing pipes. Let us show you how you or your property owners can save money and hassle by using Nu Flow technology.
