Oakland PSL Certificate and Sewer Lateral Ordinance Experts at Evenflow Plumbing Announce Discount for Safe Digging Month

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015


Oakland, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2015

Oakland sewer repair and replacement is available with a coupon for $ 100 off until 09/01/2015 from Evenflow Plumbing. They are calling this coupon the Safe Digging Special. The coupon is available to people who need a sewer lateral replaced in order to get the PSL Certificate which is required to be in compliance with the Oakland Private Sewer Lateral Ordinance which is overseen by EBMUD. April is National Safe Digging Month. The purpose of which is to emphasize how important it is that professionals and homeowners alike call 811 and follow the safe digging process to help prevent explosions, injuries, property damage and inconvenient outages in the United States and Oakland.

Sewer repair in Oakland can be dangerous, especially when underground utilities are involved. Given the recent PG&E gas explosion in Fresno and other significant gas line breaks we thought it would be a great idea to make a new coupon so people can understand how important it is to call 811 before digging. We see licensed and unlicensed contractors every day in Oakland and throughout the East Bay digging trenches without calling 811 first, says Gary Dimodana, Owner of Evenflow Plumbing in Oakland.

According to Gary a lot of home owners and real estate agents who are involved with sewer lateral replacements just assume the company they are dealing with goes through all of the appropriate precautions while replacing the sewer line but that is not so, A lot on plumbing companies and sewer contractors out there think they can get the job done quicker if they dont call before they dig but what they dont often realize they may be putting lives at risk. Look at what happened with that explosion in Fresno.

Evenflow Plumbing is the Gold Standard when it comes to trenchless pipe replacement and sewer repair in Oakland. They always consider safety as their number 1 priority and they have never caused an explosion. Homeowners and real estate agents should ask the contractor they hire for sewer line replacement if they call 811 before they dig. If they even hesitate you should run, says Dimodana. A lot of times Real Estate agents advise their clients to wait until the last minute right before the escrow is scheduled to close before trying to schedule their sewer lateral replacement. Then they try to pressure the sewer repair company to complete the job extra fast to meet a deadline that has been in existence for over a month. This doesnt leave adequate time for the people at 811 to come out and mark the lines.

Evenflow Plumbing was recently featured in a PG&E Call 811 video. The video highlights the importance of calling 811 before digging. We wanted to do the video with PG&E because we want to be part of the solution. There are thousands of gas lines damaged from dig-ins every year. Reducing the number of dig ins will help to prevent explosions and keep our neighborhoods safer, says Dimodana. A dig-in is when a person starts excavation work underground and hits an underground utility such as a gas or power line.

Outdoor Fireplaces and Kitchens Increase Home Value and Happiness, Experts Say

Saturday, April 19th, 2014


Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 14, 2014

Real estate experts believe outdoor kitchens increase home value. “In any market a home with an outdoor kitchen would help buyers choose it over another without one,” says Karen Schwartz of ERA Real Estate. (~This Old House Magazine, 10 Smart Ideas for Outdoor Kitchens and Dining by TOH Editors)

Masters Stone Group, the premier provider of stone masonry and design in Charlotte, NC, agrees with the experts findings. The company announced today that it finds strong growth in outdoor fireplaces and outdoor kitchens. They are being used both as a means of increasing home value and extending the seasons to enjoy the outdoors. With a fireplace and a fire pit, families can now stay warm outside, bask in the glow of the fire, even when its cooler outside. It used to be that all entertaining was done indoors when the weather was cooler. Not anymore, says Mark Correll, President of Masters Stone Group.

More and more consumers are building outdooror cabana kitchens so they can slow down and spend more time with their family and friends. With a mix of cabinets, grills, warming drawers, sinks and refrigerators, all the elements of outdoor dining can be close at hand. (~Backyard Kitchen Primer by Paige Bowers, Realtor.com)

The fact that outdoor kitchens increase home value is a key driver of the widespread popularity in the outdoor living market. Factor in that outdoor fireplaces and kitchens are more affordable than ever, and most people conclude it is a wise investment. Still, most families choose outdoor living enhancements, such as fire pits and fireplaces, to increase enjoyment of their home and to better their lifestyle, said Correll. Fireplaces make a beautiful focal point for outdoor rooms and lend a sense of drama and comfort to any gathering, but lets not forget the practical purpose they serve: heating and cooking.

Correll said, Additionally, outdoor living is not just for million dollar homes anymore. Homes of all price ranges are making their outdoor space a priority and maximizing its use and value. While patios are still the most common outdoor feature, they are followed closely by fire pits, outdoor kitchens and outdoor fireplaces. We always tell our clients that anything they can envision, we can create. Even in small spaces, we offer design and planning to make use of every square inch possible. Clever design can make all the difference in turning a drab, small back yard into an exciting, fully functional outdoor kitchen.

Areas in which Masters Stone Group specializes include: Ballantyne, South Charlotte, Myers Park, Lake Wylie, South Park, Matthews, Lake Norman and Waxhaw. We aspire to remain the leading company for outdoor living in Charlotte, says Mark Correll. We are specialists in stone pavers, flagstone patios, concrete pavers, stone patios and exterior home accents you name it, if it has to do with stone, we can get it done. Our name has become a symbol of quality, craftsmanship, and passion for stone and masonry in Charlotte. We intend to keep it that way.
