HANDYMAN SERVICES IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, VIRGINIA

Lenn Congrats on passing the 1000 posts mark!

Hey Lenn,

Your post looks familiar:) My roofer called me yesterday to tell me he completed that job he got from my blog so I'm sure your people will see the same results.

Lenn- Wow, almost 1000 posts! Congrats! YEAH!!!!1

That's good to know and I've captured their information. I've got clients in Loudoun and western Fairfax that are always looking for good, quality help.

Lenn, you brought up a great point...maintenance in the areas in which we live.  When I owned a home with and electric hot water heater I used to routinely drain the hot water heater twice a year to reduce sediment in the tank, and I replaced the elements myself.  In southern Maryland I could not believe the build ups of sediment in the tank and that would corrode the elements.  When we moved to northern Virginia the water was very acidic, and would corrode items.  The corrosion of plumbing items became the issue.

Hi Lenn - I have an electric hot water heater, and I've never heard anything about replacing those elements.  Hmm, I guess mine probably look far worse than yours at this point.

I love how you've recommended the services of this company - they deserve it and I hope they reap some rewards from your recommendation.

ps- congrats on all those amazing posts - 1000 - WOW......

Good info we assume the water heater is working but it looks like we need to keep a bit more care of it.

Lenn, YEP they are pretty ugly!!!

I just heard of a new type of tankless water heater that is more efficient and more dependable then the type you and I have.  So I am thinking of replacing mine soon with one of them.

You are so lucky to have someone who will come out at a moments notice...he's a keeper!

(congratulations on your milestone!)

Hi Lenn, The tank less type is really $$ but everyone I know that has one loves them . They all most have added the booster pump for the second level and it is instant hot. Eventually I will be springing for one.

What I stated to ask you was, is your water well water or city. In your city they may do water testing and if it turns out they do, you might ask about a hard chemical filtering system that connects up where the water lines come to the house. It is not a typical home water purification system, it only draws out the hardness chemicals that screw up the plumbing. No one around here knows anything about it. Our water is so hard, it freezes at 50 degrees instead of 32, LOL

Think about this. Those chemicals are not natural to water, they are most often added in various formulas to purify your drinking water, They are suspended in the water and when they are precipitated out, you can see how caustic they are . They turn out to be carcinogens but the city claims they are in suspensions that are so minute they are virtually undetectable. Right on with that one. I sure can't see all the hard water deposits on anything that water comes out of. Nope, it is just my imagination that I have to practically chip the stuff with a hammer. Simply my imagination. Think what they must do inside our bodies and what our kidneys are put through daily to clean it up.

The water is alkaline and our skin has a natural acid mantle and when it is destroyed over the years, we show the aging signs. Cause an effect. I should stop writing about water so much,lol.

Every agent needs at least one good handyman on their list of service providers that they can hand out to their clients!

Also, I don't know if you have your client's put home warranties on their properties, but one of the fastest ways to have a home warranty company NOT cover an item that is supposed to be covered, is to not maintain that item! This post is a good example of that.

geez does he want to come do work in New Jersey i'd keep him busy..   I can't seem to find anyone who is consistent or reliable
