Plumbing Repair Industry FAQs
Every day, hundreds of millions of Americans turn on the faucet or adjust the thermostat in their home without giving it a second thought. And, the majority of us get just what we've come to expect - clean, clear, drinkable water and a comfortable, safe living environment.
"This hasn't always been the case," said plumbing contractor Jim Stack, president of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors' National 
Association (PHCC). "Over the years, societies worldwide have come to understand that serious health hazards result when drinking water and waste systems are not properly installed and maintained. Bacterial and other diseases during the Middle Ages, and even today in some parts of the world, were and still are responsible for the deaths of millions."
Fortunately, many of these problems have been resolved in the United States with new technologies and stringent building codes developed with the aid of experts like engineers, sanitary inspectors and installing contractors.
However, technology and more sophisticated energy-efficient home building designs have opened the door to other dangers. Backflow contamination in water systems and carbon monoxide, radon, and airborne particulates, such as mold, asbestos, dust, mites, can cause serious health risks and in some circumstances, even death. Proper installation, venting, air filtration systems and maintenance can substantially reduce or eliminate these new health hazards.
Yet, proper installation and maintenance appears to have taken a back seat to the "do-it-yourself" trends that have become popular with consumers. "Unfortunately, homeowners are often so focused on the potential cost savings from doing a job themselves or by hiring a handyman instead of a professional contractor,"Stack noted, "that they forget how important having the job done right is to the health and safety of their families."
Getting the job done right and protecting the health and safety of our client's families is what Bob Larson Plumbing stands for.
