As the leaves rustle and the nights grow longer, our homes transform into cozy havens from the chill outside. However, amidst the warmth of your abode, there may be unsettling sounds lurking within the confines of your HVAC system.
This Halloween season, we urge you to pay close attention to the mysterious symphony emanating from your air conditioning unit. Those spooky sounds may be more than just eerie ambiance—they could be a sign that your AC system is in need of professional attention from our expert HVAC contractors.

We’ve addressed the topic of slab leaks on our blog before, but here’s a quick rundown. Slab leak is a professional plumbing term for any pipe leaks that occur down in the concrete foundation of a building. The term can sometimes apply to any pipe leak in hardscape or rock, but for the purposes of your home we’re using it for the hot and cold water pipes under your house.
Leaks of any kind in your home are a problem, and most will need to be addressed with the help of skilled plumbers. The most troublesome leaks are the sort that escape notice because they’re coming from pipes hidden in walls, floors, or in the foundation. If there’s a leak you can see, you can move fast to have it repaired. For example, water on the bathroom floor that shouldn’t be there? You’ll probably need a plumber.
Cooking grease, as well as fats and oils left over from cooking, should never go down the kitchen drains. Ever, if you can possibly help it! It’s unavoidable for some grease to go down the drains when you’re cleaning up, but if you have grease in a pan or skillet after you’ve finished cooking, don’t tip it over and send it down the kitchen drain.
