Our Response To COVID-19
We are open for business and ready to serve your plumbing, electrical & air conditioning needs.
Our team is committed to your family’s safety and health, here is what we are doing to help in that regard. To start with, we monitor our own health, if one of our employees feels ill, they will see a doctor or clinic. When our team comes to your home they glove up, put on shoe covers, if you request, they will wear a mask.
All of our trucks are equipped with spray disinfectant, protective covers for areas when we are in your home for any length of time, each tech keeps his own set of tools and will disinfect them after each visit.
We have set in place a Covid-19 protocol. Before we come to your home, we send you an email listing some things you as the homeowner can do to limit (or in some cases eliminate) the need for us to come into the home. While it is not possible to cover all applications, there are many situations where with your help we can do a tuneup or maintenance, even some repairs, from outside the home. We have stopped shaking hands with a no contact policy is in place. We will try to stay 1.5m away from customers at all times.
Today, communication is vital to our business, please let us know if anyone in the home has been exposed and is under quarantine, or if they are under a doctor’s care for the virus. We will take special care to work with those situations.
On another note, we would be remiss if we did not mention the fact that we do other solutions to indoor air quality issues. We have filters that can take out over 99% of airborne particles, UV lights that can help destroy viruses, air sterilisers to eradicate germs that are found in homes, similar to hand sanitisers we are now using daily. Can these products and systems eliminate the Covid-19 Virus completely? Only if you live in a petri dish in a lab. But they can certainly help and go a long way to set up a healthy home. Just to be clear, we have offered and sold these products for over a decade. We have a limited inventory that we are offering at pre-corona virus pricing.

How do chemical drain cleaners work?
There are four common groups of chemical drain cleaners being caustic treatments, acid treatments, herbicides and biological treatments. Which cleaner you should use depends on your blockage.
Caustic treatments turn oils into soap, this is then soluble and can be flushed away. They are effective on blockages caused by cooking fats and body oils.
Acidic drain cleaners exchange ions with the blockage, produce heat and break them down. They are effective on organic matter including skin, hair and body oils.
Both caustic and acidic drain cleaners won’t do a thing for blockages that involve tree roots.
Herbicidal treatments such as Rootx or Vaporoot is a Metham Sodium and Dichlobenil foaming treatment. After a high-pressure water jet to clear your drain, these treatments kill the cut tree roots on contact. These treatments are non-systemic, don’t kill the tree and are designed to slow down root regrowth. They do not work on any other type of blockage.
Biological treatments are bacteria and enzymes suspended in a carrier. They work by multiplying and slowly digest organic matter, fats, toilet paper and oil. This approach is gentle, environmentally friendly and natural.
It is worth mentioning that enzymic treatments aren’t compatible with acidic and basic drain cleaning treatments.
Do chemical drain cleaners from a hardware store work?
Most publically available drain cleaning treatments are watered down to make them safe for the public. Plumbers can access trade only chemicals which are stronger, effective and require considerable care.
Biological treatments are great for oily blockages but can take a long time to act.
We don’t recommend using any chemical drain cleaners by themselves. The reason is that most drain chemicals will cause damage if they are left in a blocked sewer system.
If you have used a hardware store drain-cleaner or household chemicals to unblock your drains, please let us know. We will need to wear additional personal protective equipment and take extra precautions.
