Malachi's new boy, Lance, is walking now. Soon he will be helping around the shop. We could use a new pencil sharpener! ;)

Malachi has vertigo. Apparently an ear infection will mess up one's balance in a bad way! So we got him a designated driver, his cousin, Josh. The bath remodel he's working on has gone over schedule. The client has use of the fixtures, but the painting is waiting on Malachi. We have assured the client that the price has not changed. If you know Malachi, wish him well.
Cheers,

January is the hardest time to clear a plumbing clog on the house main. The snow gets in the way, and it's down right cold! The trees are growing all the time. They grow above ground when it's warm and underground when it's cold. Our two busiest months for root clogs are January and February. I'd like to do some preventive maintenance this year for you. Call for preventive root clearing, before it gets stopped up entirely and we'll give you a 50% discount through December 7.

Plumbing & Electric doesn't need much preparation for winter; just a little. If you have a crawl space, be sure to close the foundation vents. Better yet, insulate them and never open them again. Open vents allow the wind to blow cold under your home in the winter. This freezes pipes and toes on tile or vinyl floors. In the summer it lets the breeze to suck the A/C out from under your home and drop off hot, humid air, along with quite a bit of condensation to make the space more comfortable........for mold and mildew!

Aim to please is GREAT! We recently hired Alan and Malachi to do several jobs for us, ranging from small to large projects, which included both plumbing and electrical work. Their work was terrific and we plan to hire them for more projects on our list. The cost was very reasonable and EXACTLY the amount that Alan bid prior to the projects - no surprises. These guys are awesome.

These guys are awesome. I've had them out 4 times in the last year and half or so. None of those were an emergency but all but one time they were able to come out the same morning I called. The last time they offered to check and see if someone was willing to work late to get out sooner. They have fixed a water heater problem, replaced a water heater and fixed an electrical issue. I've attempted to use many other plumbers and electricians in Bloomington and no one ever calls you back, or you get a "I don't want your tiny job stupid high price quote." They answer the phone and show up on time.

Calling all plumbing and electric clients that have used Aim To Please......Our two dozen or so Google ratings have disappeared. Now all that is left are two poor ratings. We need your help to make the phone ring by repeating your previous rating or upload a rating if you have never done so. In this modern world you and your neighbors depend on what others say about a company before you make a purchasing decision.
We suspect someone hacked the Google site and removed the good ratings we worked so hard to earn.

Wahoo! B-town's Aim To Please is a new Angie's List Super Service Award Winner! But you knew that all along, huh? We were presented the award recently for both plumbing and electric. Celebrate with us. Through January get an additional 5% off labor just for mentioning the award. As Malachi likes to say, "Yehaw!" He's secretly a redneck that actually enjoys splitting and stacking firewood........go figure. ;)

According to an article by Hallie Potocki in "First" magazine's October 31, 2011
issue, copper can cause lots of problems for us. Copper steeps into the
water as it sets, waiting for us to shower or drink it. This copper
can overwork our livers and cause lethargy, mood swings, and fatigue
(redundancy for emphasis;). Zinc supplements may help balance the
copper in our bodies. Red meat, poultry, and cashews (bless you) all
contain zinc. Vitamin C aids in copper excretion. Copper water lines
in the home are a suspected culprit. Consider installing a reverse
