🛠️ How Baby Wipes Cause Hidden Pump Failures 🛠️ At our #FortWorth shop, we recently worked on a #submersiblesewagepump clogged by baby wipes—a common issue. But beyond clogging, baby wipes can lead to another major problem. Wipes can build up between the impeller and seal housing and wrap around the spring assembly, which can lead to water damage and costly repairs. This spring keeps constant pressure on the two seal faces, preventing water from leaking into the motor housing. A way to prevent this is by regularly pulling #pumps and clearing debris. Even if the pump isn’t fully clogged, debris buildup inside can cause serious damage over time. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs. #SmithPumpCo #SewagePumps #Maintenance #PumpIssues #FortWorthShop #WaterInfrastructure #BabyWipes

Keeping your casters rolling smoothly doesn’t have to be complicated! 🚀 Just a little upkeep can go a long way in extending their life and protecting your floors. Here are some quick maintenance tips to keep your casters in peak condition: 🧹 Maintain a Clean Floor – Dust and debris are the #1 cause of caster breakdowns. A clean floor means less wear and tear on your casters, keeping them moving smoothly for longer. ❌ Choose an Unhooded Caster – Hooded casters might look sleek, but they’re notorious for trapping dirt, which can cause them to wear out faster. An unhooded caster lets debris fall away, preserving your caster’s lifespan. 🧼 Regular Cleaning – Every couple of months, give your casters a gentle wipe-down with mild soap and water. It’s an easy way to remove any buildup and ensure they stay in top shape. #MaintenanceTips #OfficeFurniture #LongLastingProducts #furniturecasters #twinwheelcasters #GrossStabil

🚰💧 Say goodbye to the leaky faucet! If water drips when turned off, it's a bad washer. If water drips when turned on, it's a different type of bad washer. Replace any bad washers, but remember to turn off the water supply before making repairs. #WaterLeaks #DIYTips

3 Sure Fire Ways To Keep Your Drains Clear The best defense against clogged drains is enrolling in a yearly plumbing inspection where a trained plumber can evaluate your entire system and ensure your drains are running smoothly. Here are 3 other ways to keep drains healthy. 1. Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners: The toxic chemicals found in drain cleaners will erode the interior of your pipes, leaving behind weakened walls and rough surfaces where clogs can begin forming. 2. Misuse Of Drains: Flushing anything other than human waste and toilet paper should be avoided, and materials that expand when wet are the worst culprits. Never flush diapers, paper towels, or kitty litter for this reason. 3. Keep An Eye On Vents: Properly running drains depends on equal pressure created between gravity and a fresh air supply. If a vent becomes blocked the needed air is unavailable and can cause drain problems. Looking for drain maintenance in Barto? Give us a call today! #DrainMaintenance

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐎𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐎𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲'𝐬 If you’ve ever noticed oil spots on your asphalt driveway or parking lot, you know they can be more than just a nuisance. They can cause lasting damage if you don’t address them promptly. Here’s a simple guide to help you get those spots under control and keep your surfaces looking sharp: ✔️𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭: The sooner you deal with the oil spill, the better. Fresh spills are much easier to clean up than older ones. ✔️𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐛 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐢𝐥: Sprinkle cat litter, sawdust, or sand on the oil spot to soak up the excess. Let it sit for a few hours (or overnight), then sweep it up and dispose of it properly. ✔️𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐛 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐲: Apply a degreaser or a mix of dish soap and water to the spot. Use a stiff brush to scrub the area and break down the oil. ✔️𝐑𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭: After scrubbing, rinse the area thoroughly with a hose or pressure washer. Make sure you wash away all the soap and oil residues. ✔️𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥: Once the spot is clean and dry, consider applying an asphalt sealant. This will help protect the surface and prevent future stains. ✔️𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐭: Regular inspections and maintenance can help catch oil spots before they become a bigger problem. Quick action and routine care are key to keeping your asphalt in great shape. Got your own tips or experiences with asphalt maintenance?
