The hope of spring is taunting us. A warm day

Here are some fun facts about the great and ever
underestimated solution of vinegar.
- Remove stubborn stains from furniture
upholstery and clothes, apply white vinegar
directly to the stain, then wash as directed by
the manufacture.
- Kill unwanted grass by pouring vinegar in
crevices and between cracks.
- Relieve itching by using a cotton ball to dab
vinegar on bug bites.
- Prevent ice from forming on your car windshield
overnight by coating the window with a solution of
3 parts white or cider vinegar to one part water.

Amanda Plumbing had its annual holiday party
December 10th. It was a pleasure to see our hard
working men and women let their hair down and
enjoy themselves. It was a time to reward all of
them for their extremely hard work throughout the
year.

We are getting closer to going online with our
new dispatching software, which hopefully will
keep our customers on the phone less time and make
our operation more efficient.
We look forward to another great year with the
Amanda Plumbing Family and look forward to the
next time we can help you in any way.

Happy New Year from our family to yours!

The People In Need (PIN) toy drive held at Roop
Brothers was a great success.  The toys collected
will benefit local children and families who are
less fortunate.  Thanks to everyone who
contributed.

Amanda Plumbing is starting its 17th year in
business and with that comes a new automated
dispatch system that will allow us to serve you
faster and better.  Please be patient as there
will be a few bumps along the road, but we will
maintain our high service standards.

With winter sneaking up on us, please double
check to make sure you disconnect your hoses from
outside faucets.  If the hose is left connect it
could cause the otherwise freeze proof faucet to
freeze and burst.   This could result in a high
water bill and a flooded basement.

The snow will be here soon which can add some
additional complications for those of  with sump
pump drain holes at the curb.  The snow plows and
freezing temperatures can cause these drain holes
to become clogged and prevent the sump pump from
working correctly.  We recommend you check your
drain and sump pump operation frequently during
the winter months.

If you use heat tapes to keep pipes from
freezing, make sure they are plugged in and
working properly.  Also, if you live in a mobile
home, make sure your skirting is attached and
secure from wind, as wind contributes to freezing.

The Amanda Plumbing Family would like to wish you
and your family a safe and happy holiday!

It seems that temperatures are dropping down
below freezing a little early this year. For those
of you that need to get things winterized, there
isn’t much time left. So give our friendly staff a
call and schedule  those winterizations.

Please remember to unhook your outside water
hoses from the hose valve, as they will not drain
down properly and could cause freezing and
bursting. When the temperatures drop so
dramatically like they have, those hose valves
become very vulnerable. With the temperatures
rising and falling between day and night, that
could cause your foundations to shift . It could
also cause water and sewer lines to break.

Also older hot water heaters will start leaking
due to the temperature changes. I would venture to
say it won’t be long before snow starts to fall.
Remember to keep curb holes clears for your rain
drains out to the street.

Winter months slow down slightly for us plumbers,
it’s a great time to think about replacing old
kitchen and bathroom faucets and doing some of
those little projects you have been putting off.
Remember, that with all new lavatory bath faucets,
comes a new pop up drain assembly.
We carry a nice selection of Delta and Gerber
solid brass faucets, all with a lifetime warranty
or if you find something you like in another
store, we would be happy to install your faucets
or fixtures for you.

The Amanda Plumbing Family would like to wish all
of our loyal customers a safe and Happy
Thanksgiving!

With the changing temperatures that comes with this time of year, cool mornings and warm days, the high fluctuations cause hot water expansion tanks, contractions of foundations and other things.

See what one customer had to say:

I’m just like any other homeowner and I don’t worry about my plumbing until something goes wrong. Of course it doesn’t go wrong until the weekend or after hours. So I’ve done what others do, I’ve called plumbing companies out of the phone book.

The problem is that the phone book is not a reliable source of knowing whether the plumber or plumbing service will be reliable or professional. I never know whether or not I’ll get a fair price or even whether they’ll get the job done. But what I’ve learned to count on is a bill whether you like their work or not.

If we live in our houses long enough, most of us will ultimately have water heater problems, a clogged drain, or trouble with our tub and shower faucets. And while those who are DIY enthusiasts may enjoy tackling these challenges, what happens if there is a serious failure of bathroom plumbing and the kids can’t get ready for school tomorrow morning? Your home pluming guide may not be enough, as it wasn’t for me. You’re going to need plumber services.

And I would never tackle a shower installation on my own, or installing a garbage disposal. I just know that too many things can go wrong that a home plumbing expert would anticipate and avoid.

Like I say, I’ve fallen victim to using the first available drain plumber or city plumbing outfit I could get from the phone book. And I’ve had some real problems.

I’ve even had them come out, spend an hour using a drain snake in the sewer drain, just to pack up and say they don’t have cable long enough. And for my trouble, they did go ahead and leave me a bill. All this and my bathtub drain was still clogged.

So when I found a company that is reliable and gets the job done, I figured I’ve got to let people know. I finally found Amanda Plumbing Sewer & Drain in Delaware, OH. I’ve had Amanda work on my kitchen plumbing and install a new garbage disposal. I’ve even had them rework the sump pump in my basement and install a battery powered sump pump with alarm. And yes, I’m pretty sure they have a cable long enough for your sewer drain.

I can tell you that it really doesn’t matter to me whether I’m dealing with a toilet flush problem, or the need to replace a drain tile in the front lawn.

I’ll recommend Amanda Plumbing because they’re reliable and fast. They are availalbe 24 hours a day, and their plumbers are absolutely professional and clean up completely after their work. One of them brought towels and a bucket. He sopped up the water from the drain, put the towel in the bucket and carried the whole wet mess out of the house without a drop on the floor.

So if you’re looking to have someone fix toilet problems, fix water heater leaks, replace faucet parts and other plumbing fittings, or even deal with leak detection or drain and sewer cleaning, I can recommend plumbing services from Amanda Plumbing. – Phil, Delaware, Ohio
