Ice, Snow, and Sump Pump Services

January 2nd, 2023

The winter is in full swing and even if it doesn’t feel like it, we’re about to get a lot of ice and snow. That might be a bummer for some folks, but for many of us, that’s the way we like our wintertime! You can take the kids out to the park to enjoy some time building snow people, bake some cookies, and enjoy a warm cup of cocoa near the fire. It’s the coziest time of year!

However, with that ice and snow comes issues when we do experience one of the warmer days of the year. You can probably remember a 60-degree winter day in recent years, where all of the snow and ice that just accumulated melts and turns into water in what seems like a blink of an eye. All of a sudden, the installation and servicing of a sump pump in Olympia, WA sounds like an important thing to invest in, right?

Now Vs. Later: Tips With a Water Inspection

December 19th, 2022

As we’ve mentioned previously in blog posts, our team does real estate water inspections at an affordable cost. This is used most of the time to make sure that a well water system is in good shape, or to ensure that the quality of a new building’s water supply isn’t contaminated. But the truth is that it can do much more than that.

The housing market is still hot which means homeowners are looking for ways to skip any and all inspections if they can to sweeten the deal to the seller. While this might sound like a good tool for getting a quick purchase, it’s not going to help you in the long run. In fact, if you suspect that your new home requires a real estate water inspection in Olympia, WA, then you’re almost always going to be better off either skipping the purchase or investing in a water inspection performed by a professional.

Well, Well, Well … Something Is Wrong With Your Well

November 21st, 2022

For many homeowners, well water is the only option when it comes to having access to clean, affordable water. Other people might be able to use their city’s municipal water lines, but even that comes with a price. For some of our customers, it’s just more affordable and makes more sense to have a well drilled on your property, especially if you know that there’s adequate clean water to be used.

The problem is that over time, without proper professional attention and maintenance, a well can run into some serious issues that can make a homeowner’s life a lot more difficult. Things like leaks, pressure problems, and contaminants can cause your life to get stuck without the right professional to handle the repairs.

Well, you’re in luck! Our team provides handy well pump repairs in Olympia, WA so that you can get back to your normal life while we take care of the problem for you.

Could You Use a Sump Pump?

November 7th, 2022

Sump pumps are powerful tools that help protect our homes from an influx of floodwaters. If your home has a deep basement, which many homes do, then you could be at risk for a basement flood which can be a problem for many reasons. So, why are we talking about this today?

The most important reason to mention sump pumps is to help homeowners understand what they’re for. If you’ve ever encountered a flooded basement or a sudden wash of rain that threatens to flood a section of your home, then you might need a sump pump installation in Olympia, WA.

The second reason we want to talk about this subject is simple—temperatures are cooling as winter quickly approaches. Snow will fall, ice will coagulate, and you might see a few warm days when all of the snow begins to melt. This can easily flood areas like a basement if you’re not protected by a sump pump.

The Benefits of a Water Softener

October 24th, 2022

Have you wondered about the quality of your water? While you might know that it’s safe (especially if it comes from a public water utility), it still might not be great for your home appliances, your plumbing, and your personal health. Hard water can be a problem, especially for those of us up north, and it’s easily fixable with a water softener.

Today, we’re going to cover all of the basics behind hard water and how a water softener in Olympia, WA can help. If, after this blog post, you think that a water softener might be a great addition to your home, then we recommend calling our team and scheduling an appointment as soon as possible.

Water softeners are appliances that aren’t as widely used as water purifiers or filters, but they’re incredibly helpful for customers who need to eliminate excess minerals from their water supply.

Why You Should Decommission Your Well

October 10th, 2022

In Washington State, it’s illegal to abandon a well on your property without it being properly decommissioned. There are plenty of reasons for this, but some might impact homeowners more than others. Just because you might get fined or sued for having an abandoned well on your property doesn’t mean that’s the only reason to have it properly decommissioned. There are some other reasons that we’ll get into today.

The truth is that well-decommissioning services are designed to cap the well so that it doesn’t rise to the surface or contaminate other sources of groundwater. The water in the abandoned well isn’t being drawn, used, or tested anymore, so it’s hard to monitor how it changes over time. The only way we can return it to its natural state is to decommission it and set it up so it can’t bother anyone.

Here are three good reasons to decommission a well in Olympia, WA.

How It Works: UV Water Purifier

September 26th, 2022

Ultraviolet light might sound a little too science-y for many people who are looking for proper solutions to their contaminated water. You might remember the term from science books in high school, or from that one college course you took where you needed the credits. While most scientific uses of ultraviolet light aren’t really relevant to us, one use in particular is—water purification.

Ultraviolet light is extremely harmful to single-celled organisms like bacteria and viruses. It causes an effect called “irradiation,” which is something we’ll cover down below. But the important thing to remember is that a UV water purifier can be a great tool for your home if you’re dealing with contaminated water or water that has impurities.

This blog post will be all about UV water purifiers in Olympia, WA, and why your home could be the perfect place for an installation.
