Air Admittance Valves

Air admittance valves (AAVs) are mechanical devices used in plumbing systems to allow air to enter the drainage system while preventing sewer gases from escaping into the home. These valves serve as an alternative to traditional venting methods, particularly in areas where conventional venting through the roof is impractical or not feasible.

Water Heaters with Stan Bajerski

Water heaters are essential for providing hot water for everyday household needs, from bathing to cooking. Understanding how your water heater works, along with its maintenance and common issues, can help extend its lifespan and ensure it operates efficiently. Regular inspections, such as checking for leaks, sediment buildup, and ensuring proper thermostat settings, are key to preventing costly repairs. Whether you have a traditional tank system or a tankless model, keeping your water heater in good condition is crucial for comfort and energy savings.

Septic Systems with Brad Korth

A septic system is an essential part of waste management for homes that are not connected to a public sewer. It treats and disposes of household wastewater by filtering solids and liquids through a series of underground tanks and drain fields. Proper maintenance, including regular inspections and pumping, is crucial to prevent costly repairs and ensure the system operates efficiently. Understanding the components of your septic system and how they function can help homeowners maintain their system and avoid potential environmental hazards.
