It’s been a great weekend. You’ve visited with friends and family, had a great dinner at your favorite restaurant, and even played a couple rounds of golf. But now it’s back to the office. You swing open the door and punch in your security code but then you realize that things are not normal. There’s a different smell and the air seems a little damp. Then you notice the water in the hall and the wet stain on the front office carpet.
Your day has just become a lot less pleasant. As a small business owner you wear a lot of hats and it looks like today you’ll be reaching for your plumbing cap.
Leaks can come from so many sources, so you know that this is going to take time to locate and rectify. At least, in this case, there is actual evidence that can be tracked. A hidden leak can drip on and on for a long time, silently adding money to your water bill.
Hidden leaks are also notorious for damaging interior walls, ceilings, and sub-flooring. Sometimes they only become visible when the tear down stage of a renovation project is started.
This one could be a toilet problem. You recall that the toilet tank in the ladies washroom developed a crack last year. Even though it was only a hairline crack, over the course of a holiday shut-down, you arrived to find quite a large amount of water making its way across the tiled floor and out onto the carpet.
Luckily the carpet was saved with a shop vac, and the toilet tank was replaced professionally by a reputable plumbing repair company. A fairly simple job to be sure, but it was taken care of promptly and efficiently, letting you and your staff continue with their regular duties.
Upon further investigation of both the washrooms, you see that all is secure in those areas. As you follow the water trail to the small staff kitchen and eating area, you find the source.
Water is dripping quickly from beneath the cabinet doors under the sink. It’s really difficult to see where exactly where it’s coming from, but you’ve narrowed it down. You grab your flashlight for a quick inconclusive look.
It’s time to call in the professionals. But first, you locate the main water valve and turn it off. The mop, bucket, and shop vac will be in action soon, but first things first.
You head for your office, swing into your chair in front of your computer and call up your list of online contacts. Like magic, the information you require unfolds in front of your eyes.
You enter your request for service into the appropriate spot, confident that in a matter of minutes you will receive confirmation that an Atlanta plumber will be on their way with the best Cobb County plumbing repair service for your emergency.
