Plumbers provide a service, but the end result is a little more important than nailing that perfect haircut or getting your latte order just right. You probably have a favorite hairdresser and coffee house-and you probably found them after much trial and error. When it comes to plumbing, you can't afford the luxury of choosing the wrong plumber. One oops and your drains might never be the same again.

Check the condition of your fuel lines every time you follow this service check list. If they are chapped in anyway replace them. Remember - no smoking!

Like knowing where your electrical panel is located, it is just as important to know where the valve for the main water service to your home is located. Also, knowing where the water valves for individual fixtures can help keep small leaks from becoming major repairs. Start by turning off the water for the individual fixture near the affected area. If that doesn't work, or your issue is a busted pipe, turn off the main local water heater repair service service. The main water valve is usually located outside in a box in the ground. Turning off the water main will stop the flow of water to your home and thus preventing further water damage.

Last but not least is don't hire someone just because they gave you the lowest bid. Next don't hire some handyman that does odd water softener jobs, in some cases they can cause you more problems that down the road it will cost you more money to fix what these handyman broke or did wrong. Sometimes the lowest bid is going to cut corners and not do the job right or when they get there and start doing the work, they keep saying they are finding more and more wrong and you end up spending more than what you should have.

Replace recessed lights. Lights can be recessed into the ceiling or into a soffit. Traditionally, recessed light fixtures have openings to allow the heat from the light bulbs to escape. However, when they are off, air leaks through these same openings. Sealing or covering the fixtures with insulation is a fire hazard. For fixtures recessed into soffits, then the top of the soffit can be sealed and the soffit vented into the house, not into the attic.

Remember, there is a million small ways this is communicated. Company uniform, company vehicle, logo, website, slogan, elevator pitch etc. Get the details right, and make sure they are working together to create a consistent image. Ask for feedback from customers, friends and family, even total strangers if you have to. Ask them what they think of your logo - what does it evoke? What do they think of your company name? Objective, third party feedback is your best source of information on how the public perceives you. A good image is crafted slowly over time.
