» AAA AUGER Tulsa Plumber Celebrates Earth Day

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

AAA AUGER Tulsa Plumber maintains growing concern for the world because our activities directly affect it. In an effort to increase awareness and appreciation for the earth’s natural environment, AAA AUGER encourages you to celebrate Earth Day every year.

If you didn’t get a chance to celebrate Earth Day last Sunday on April 22, here are some simple ways to get festive this week:

1. Plant a tree

Planting a tree is an excellent way to begin a continuous celebration of Earth Day. As your tree grows, it will not only help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it will also create a habitat for local plants and animals.

2. Visit a recycling center

Recycling centers provide empowering information on the importance of converting used materials into new products. Visiting a recycling center will also allow you to watch exciting recycling processes as they occur. Don’t forget to bring the convertible trash you’ve collected to the center, too. You might even get a little cash in exchange for it.

3. Go on a nature walk

Nature hikes offer a way to visually embrace all of earth’s details. On your walk, examine plants and creatures as you cross their path. If go on the walk with a friend, take a moment to discuss your findings.

4. Pick up trash

Picking up trash around your yard requires minimal effort and will leave a significant impact. Trash not only makes nature look unpleasant, but it also disturbs wildlife. Consider taking this tip a step further by picking up trash at local park or nature preserves.

If plumbing problems disrupt your Earth Day celebration, call AAA AUGER for emergency plumbing service. We are the 24 hour plumbers you can trust.

» AAA AUGER Austin Plumber Celebrates World Water Day

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Today, AAA AUGER Austin plumber encourages you to celebrate World Water Day. The purpose of World Water Day is to bring attention to the importance of freshwater and sustainable freshwater resources for future generations. This year’s theme is “Water and Food Security.”

According to UN Water, a key promoter of World Water Day, there are currently seven billion people on earth, with an expected two billion to bring the population to nine billion by 2050. In considering whether sufficient resources will exist to support our growing population, statistics like these are alarming.

Everyone can take part in World Water Day by making an effort to save water.

AAA AUGER recommends two major tasks you can do to save water. The first task is replacing old toilets with new, water efficient models. Water efficient toilets can save multiple gallons of water per flush. We also suggest checking for leaks as a major task to save water. Your water bill is a great indicator for leaks; if it is higher than normal, you probably have a leak. We advise you to check for leaks on a periodic basis. At AAA AUGER, we are also glad to help you with your efforts to conserve water. Give us a call to replace your old toilets or check for leaks. We offer 24 hours plumbing to best assist you.

In addition to our major ways to reduce water consumption, here are a variety of common conservation efforts that can help:

Reduce your time spent in the shower
Keep water turned off while brushing your teeth
Don’t let the water run while washing your dishes
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway
Give previously existing fish tank water to your plants when you replace the water
Wash your car on the lawn, so the excess water can be used to water it

Don’t forget to also consider food sustainability. Here are some helpful ways to secure food for future generations from UN Water:

“Follow a healthier, sustainable diet”
“Consume less water-intensive products”
“Reduce the scandals food wastage: 30% of the food produced worldwide is never eaten and the water used to produce it is definitely lost”
“Produce more food, of better quality, with less water”

Today, AAA AUGER Austin plumber encourages you to not only celebrate World Water Day, but to also think about the little and big changes you can make to support a globally sustainable lifestyle.

What efforts are you making to conserve water?

» We Take Pride in our Work at AAA AUGER Plumbing Supply Tulsa

Monday, March 19th, 2012

AAA AUGER Plumbing Supply Tulsa understands the importance plumbing has on health and safety. Plumbing is a critical service, as well as a defense against waterborne illnesses. Plumbers keep our water safe to drink and help eliminate pathogenic microorganisms that cause disease. These microorganisms contaminate water we use for drinking, cooking, bathing and washing, accounting for a large number of deaths worldwide. Throughout history, the United States has experienced a rash of disease due to lacking of an effective plumbing system.

Today, Americans enjoy a safe water supply. Local municipalities treat, clean and distribute safe water, which is piped directly for use in our homes and businesses. This water is then stored within the closed plumbing systems of our homes. It is a plumber’s job to make sure the water contained in this closed system remains free of contaminates, safe for our use.

Some countries in the world still lack clean water and a sanitary system to expel and treat waste water. Figures from World Plumbing Day suggest “preventable diseases related to water and sanitation claim the lives of about 3.1 million people per year, most of them children less than 5 years old. Of these, about 1.6 million people die each year of diarrheal diseases associated with lack of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.” These numbers are shocking.

The importance of proper plumbing and trained plumbers is significant. Plumbers are responsible for the safety of our most precious resource at the consumer level where if done wrong, serious dangers can result. This responsibility weighs on the shoulders of plumbers who have become the unsung heroes in the battle against waterborne disease.

Without adequate plumbing, we wouldn’t have the society we live in today. Plumbing is the first piece of infrastructure put in place during construction of homes, buildings and cities. We don’t have to look too far to see the devastation that can surmount without proper plumbing in place. Haiti lacked a functioning plumbing system to deliver clean water and sanitation to their devastated region, and Japan is still fixing plumbing problems after a tsunami ravished their country last year.

Plumbing is a significant industry and a major contributor to public health and the environment. At AAA AUGER Plumbing Supply Tulsa, we are proud of our work and happy to be plumbers.

To learn more about the role of plumbing on public safety explore the World Plumbing Council.

» AAA AUGER Plumbers Fort Worth Prepare for Spring

Friday, March 9th, 2012

AAA AUGER Plumbers Fort Worth, TX welcome the coming of the fresh spring season but, unfortunately with a new season comes new plumbing issues to watch out for. During the cold months we informed on how to winterize your plumbing system and with spring and summer coming soon, it’s time to check your irrigation system to make sure everything is in working order.

On average, 40% – 50% of the water used to irrigate the lawn is wasted because of leaks, improper positioning and lack of sprinkler maintenance. Check your irrigation system before you start using it this season to save yourself money and, of course, water.

Repairing leaky irrigation lines can save a great amount on your water bill. A leak the width of a dime in an underground sprinkler line can waste up to 6,300 gallons of water per month, almost doubling typical household water use.

It can be difficult to find an underground water leak. Some signs to keep an eye out for are muddy spots or spots that are greener and growing better than the rest of the lawn. Luckily, AAA AUGER plumbers Fort Worth, TX are experts at finding leaks.

Here are some tips to consider regarding your home’s irrigation system:

• Only water when needed.
• Don’t water your lawn after a heavy rain.
• Water heavier during the long summer days and less during the shorter spring and fall days.
• Water at night or in the early morning to reduce evaporation by up to 28%.
• Stop watering when you see water run-off.
• Replace broken or malfunctioning sprinkler heads.
• Use soaker hoses for flower beds and gardens.
• Reduce the amount of water you give shrubs and trees; they usually require much less water.
• Have your system repaired and inspected regularly.
• Wait to water your lawn as late into spring as possible. This will help your lawn develop stronger and healthier roots.
• If you can stick a screwdriver easily into the ground, your lawn is being watered properly. If it is hard to push a screwdriver into the ground, increase your watering.
• Be careful not to run over your sprinkler heads when you mow your lawn.

AAA AUGER plumbers Forth Worth, TX carry the best replacement pieces for your irrigation system with brand names like Brass Craft, Charlotte Pipe, Little Giant Pump Company, Nibco and Zurn. Contact us if your irrigation system needs repair.

» An All Hours – 24 Plumber Explains Greywater Systems

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Greywater recycling is receiving more and more attention as a green plumbing solution. AAA AUGER all hours – 24 plumber is here to shed light on this gray area. Greywater gets it’s name from it’s grayish tint and it’s classification between white and black water categories. White water is potable, drinkable water. Gray water comes from baths, showers, hand basins and washing machines. Black water is for sewage purposes.

Greywater is recyclable and reusable and can be recycled and treated directly within the home. It can be used for gardening, toilets and a variety of other uses. This water may be processed and stored for a short time, or used immediately. It may be used for flushing toilets, washing, gardening and irrigation.

Grey water may be filtered through sand, lava or UV radiation for near potable uses. Other processes like distillation and reverse osmosis are capable of converting greywater to potable drinking water, however these processes are only used in large scales.

Greywater systems can be a sustainable way to reuse water and can be coupled with other green solutions like water harvesting.

This is how the greywater system works: waste water flows from sinks and showers and then drains into a straining tank where grease, dirt and other sediments are filtered out. The water is then stored in a tank for immediate or future use.

With energy prices constantly raising and resources dwindling, green solutions are becoming more popular. Greywater recycling holds many benefits:

• Ecologically sustainable

• Reduces fresh water use

• Reduces strain on septic tanks and treatment plants

• Promotes plant growth

• Lowers fresh water extraction from rivers and aquifers

• Lessens the impact of septic tank and treatment plant pollution

• Promotes topsoil nitrification

• Reduces energy use and chemical pollution from treatment plants

• Energy savings

If you would like more information on greywater recycling, feel free to contact AAA AUGER all hours – 24 plumber at any time.

Would you consider using green plumbing in your home?

» Green Technologies From AAA AUGER Plumbers Austin, Tx.

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

AAA AUGER plumbers Austin, Tx. are always looking to keep up with the latest advances in the plumbing world. Green, environmentally friendly and energy conserving, technologies are becoming more popular these days. One such technology is the solar hot water heater. It’s an ingenious way to heat water for household use.

The device is mounted on a roof, positioned under direct sunlight and, as a result, either directly or indirectly heats water for home use. The two types of solar hot water heaters are the open loop (the water is directly heated) and the closed loop system (a heat-transfer fluid passes heat to water).

Some benefits that come from using a solar water heater are:

• A lighter carbon footprint

• A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gasses your home produces

• Displacement of other fuels like natural gas and fossil fuels

• Free hot water

Some drawbacks of using a solar water heater are:

• The savings might not negate the expense of installing a new system

• Only 40% of all U.S. homes have sufficient access to sunlight to use a solar water heater

• Local laws may restrict construction additions like solar water heaters

Before investing in a new energy saving system be sure to weigh your options very carefully. Installing a new system may end up costing more than the energy savings it will produce.

It is more cost effective to make your home more energy efficient before installing a new system. Remember, using less water and energy is the first step to saving money.

Check to make sure that your system has no leaks and that all of your appliances work properly. Contact AAA AUGER plumbers Austin, Tx. to check your plumbing system for any inefficiencies.

What do you and your family do to conserve water?
