🌧️ The rain reminds us to keep our properties and roadways clear to prevent spills and flooding—all in protection of our waterways! 🌊
Here are some simple ways to prepare before and after a storm:
🔧💦 Fix Those Leaks & Keep Your Home Fresh! 💦🔧
Did you know a dripping faucet or leaking toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month? That’s water (and money!) going right down the drain. 🚰💸
✅ Check your fixtures and fix any leaks to conserve water and lower your bill.
✅ If you have a sink or drain you rarely use, run the faucet occasionally to keep water in the P-trap—this prevents odors and vapors from creeping into your home.
💡 Small efforts = big savings! Let’s stay water-wise! 💙♻️
Super Bowl Sunday Prep!
🏈 Avoid game-day plumbing fumbles by cooling, containing, and trashing fats, oils, and grease instead of pouring them down the drain. Keep your celebration smooth with clog-free pipes.
Enjoy the game, the snacks, and hassle-free plumbing!
🚛 Behind the Scenes: Visiting Vactor’s Manufacturing HQ! 🏭
Some of our Field Service Leaders, Marvin and Mauricio, recently traveled to Vactor’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Streator, Illinois, to see firsthand where our key equipment is built.
This visit was especially exciting as they got to sign off on the newest addition of a combination truck to our fleet, ensuring it meets our high standards before joining the team! ✅
