Services that a Houston Glass Company Provides

Auto Houston window repair is only one small task that a glass company performs. Today, I traveled to the local glass store and walked around the showroom when the crack in my windshield was being repaired. I really never thought about all the types of tasks that a glass company performs. They are not limited to only repairing car windshields or home windows they offer so many other services. Here are a few of the services that made me start thinking about remodeling my home.

Have you seen the frameless shower doors or the custom showers that are being made today, it is as thought the skies the limit. They can turn an ordinary bathroom into a fortress. The shower becomes the whole centerpiece of the eyes focus so when you walk out of the bathroom you are talking about it. They are able to work in any bathroom, large or small, and install these eye-catching showers.

Next on the list is home window glass repair, I had not thought about why my double pane windows were fogging up, but in the showroom they had a model set up to demonstrate what is causing the condensation. While there today, I scheduled an appointment to have an expert glass technician to come and provide an estimate for repair to my windows.

Then they had this huge area of glass tabletops, they were the most beautiful works of art I have ever seen. The pieces of glass were cut to fit the tabletops perfectly including any curves, points or cutouts. I could not believe how they had etched in the glass pictures of animals, fruit, and people on various models around the showroom.

They also had a section, in the showroom, which was for commercial glass; in this area there were models of full glass storefronts, secretary sliding glass windows, and tabletops for the conference room table. They also produce glass walls to act as cubicles inside the work area.

I was simply amazed at what I learned today while just having the auto window repair made. If you are looking at remodeling your home consider the frameless shower, or if you just purchased new furniture maybe the glass tabletops might be something you would consider. If you own your own business maybe the glass storefront would draw in more customers. I invite you to visit your local glass company today and just see what the company has to offer.

Oklahoma Home Inspectors And Septic Tank Inspections

If you are looking at a potential home with a septic tank make sure you hire certified Oklahoma City home inspectors with a license to inspect septic tanks. When you are considering a home with a septic tank you are able to get the history and a diagram of the septic tank from DEQ records. When you call DEQ you will need to have the legal description to ensure quicker service. If you are unable to find a record of the tanks location then begin looking on the exterior of the home approximately 10 to 20 feet from the outside wall of the main bathroom. Probe the ground and look for a clean out, the tank is typically within one foot of the surface.

A septic tank needs to be pumped every three to five years and usually ranges in price from $75 to $200. According to the Oklahoma home inspectors the best way to know if a tank needs to be pumped is to check with a licensed pumper. The sure signs of a tank needing to be pumped are when the solid layers or sludge and scum take up more than half the tanks capacity.

When you have a septic tank some signs of trouble are a foul smell in your home or yard, slow or backed up drains, or repeated intestinal illnesses. If you notice the ground outside being wet or soggy and lush plant growth near the tank this could also be a warning sign of problems.

You need to protect the drain field from obstacles like pavement, logs, or swimming pools; this area needs oxygen to digest wastes. It is best to have grass cover the area and avoid growing trees or scrubs.

When you request a septic tank inspection the inspectors report will include the tanks installation records, location of the tank, and the lateral line field information. A test will have been preformed by running all interior faucets for an hour and flushing paper filled toilets to identify the clean out, any backup, or bad odors. If a problem surfaces from this test then the seller should provide a comprehensive septic tank evaluation.

Septic tanks need to be checked to make sure they are performing the way they should. Oklahoma City home inspectors are trained to look for signs of septic tank problems and will write-up any problems or concerns they may see. It is best for the potential home buyer to know where the tank is located and to have an understanding of how it works. Ask the inspector questions about any of your concerns.
