An Introduction to All About Plumbing

 

Video Transcription

Jeremy: Hey guys, I’m Jeremy Ashburn. I’ve got to Alex Wilson with me with All About Plumbing & Septic. You guys are a local septic and plumbing company. Let’s talk about your background because, quite often, when people call a plumbing company, they’re wondering what kind of company they’re calling.

Alex: Okay. Sure. We started about eight years ago as a family business. I own the business with three of my sons. Actually, one of my son’s is a plumber and I have a business background and been in business all my life. And two of my other sons had business backgrounds. Basically, there’s a lot of plumbers out there who are good plumbers, but not good businessmen.

That’s the difference between All about Plumbing and other companies. Myself and two of my sons run the business and my other son he takes care of running the plumbing division and keeping up with our plumbers. So, not only we do we have the business side, but we also have the plumbing experience.

And it works out really well because a lack of experience is one of the biggest problems with the service industry. You might be good at what you do. You might be a great plumber, but they’re not good businessmen. Quite often, other plumbing companies run into problems when they try to grow.

Taking care of customers is the key as you grow. You get more requests and have to take care of more and more of your customers. So, you have to grow your business and give same say service to your customers like they deserve and service your newest customers as well.

Jeremy: Well, thanks a lot for explaining your background. If anyone has any questions, you can call All About Plumbing and Septic at 828-778-2425 or go to AllAboutPlumbingNC.com to learn more.

Maureen Brandner Muller

What a breath of fresh air! My hot water heater is acting up and Evan came out to inspect. He is the water heater whisperer!! He assured me that it is a contained unit and that if it throws codes he will diagnose and even call the manufacturer to check all component parts. He also said that parts can be replaced before the entire unit has to be replaced. I so appreciate the honesty because he could have easily told me that it needed replacement and I would not have known the difference. And I was not charged for the call! These guys are the best!

Our Response: Thank you for taking your time to review Evan’s recent service. I know you are selling your home and needed the water heater checked out quickly to ensure your buyers have a functioning plumbing system. I am glad to hear that your water heater was working properly when Evan arrived and no major repairs were needed. We never charge to come out and take a look at any plumbing issue. I hope you don’t have any more trouble with your plumbing system. If you do don’t hesitate to give us a call at anytime. We are always open. I really appreciate your business and kind words!!

Got into a panic mode yesterday due to a leaking line on our water heater. My wife remembered seeing the new building for All About Plumbing close to where we live. This was our first experience with them. We got their number and elated to talk to a person on the first call instead if a recorded message. We explained our plight and they put us down for service promptly. As promised a fine young man knocked on our door. Brandon was pleasant, curteous and enthusiastic about helping us with our problem. Brandon explained in detail about his game plan and quoted us a very rare and reasonable price to do the job. He immediately went to work and it seemed like just a few minutes went by before he was finished. He’s work was masterful. Very neat job! Brandon is a credit to not only his procession but a shining star for your company. Will we do business in the future if necessary? Most definitely. We will and already have referred All About Plumbing and especially Brandon to others. Deepest gratitude

Our Response: Thank you for taking your time to review Brandon’s recent service. We did just move to Mills River right on the Buncombe county line and I am glad to hear we are helping our neighbors. We service 5 counties in our area and we are always open to help with any plumbing or septic emergency. I will be sure to pass you great review on to Brandon. I am proud to have him on board with our family company and I know you will never be disappointed in his service. He is a true plumbing professional and even on his worst days he is still a master at his craft. I hope you don’t have any future plumbing issues, but we are always here to help. I really appreciate your kind words and your business!! Caleb Wilson, Operations Manager

Holiday Season Septic Repair

It’s December: we’ve made it past the day after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers across Asheville and America. If you are like one of the two million plumbing customers in North Carolina who have a septic field outside their home, it’s possible this busy day at the bathroom has caused your system some septic damage too. It’s not only what you’re probably thinking, but also the abundance of pure animal grease dumped down the drain that adds to the tendency for the day after Turkey Day to be a nightmare for pipes across the nation. This additional ingredient can also be problematic for a city’s infrastructure, not just for a family’s home plumbing.

DRAIN FIELD ISSUES FROM GREASE BUILDUP

Overall, one of the biggest long-term factors in the health of a septic drain field is the management of grease. Usually, it takes a few decades for this kind of a problem to reach critical mass, before a drain field might, in the worst case scenario, need to be shifted to a new place on a customer’s land. You can imagine how holidays like Thanksgiving could acutely add to the buildup in a septic field. For this reason, just be sure to dispose of excess cooking grease, as well as leftovers, in the trash—not the sink! Your septic field has to deal with the gradual disposal of grease that is part of the normal cooking and waste cycle, so it’s best to practice responsible disposal on this and all days of the year. Considering that it would cost several thousand dollars to replace a drain field, it is not an eventuality you should wish to bring about any sooner than necessary.

BE SAFE, BE ALERT

As always, just be an alert homeowner and know what a healthy septic system looks like. Sewage should stay in the septic system. If you have a backup in the house, or see anything rising to the surface or smelling foul above your drain field, please don’t hesitate to call us at All About Plumbing & Septic for septic service in the Asheville, NC area.
