As the economy reaches a point in 2012 where the flipped coin is in mid-air, now is the time the hard working American’s have to call heads or tails. If you’ve seen the Super Bowl commercial starring Clint Eastwood about Chrysler automobiles it should have brought a tear to your eye. It wasn’t just selling cars, it was selling America. As a business owner in the United States I thought wow. This isn’t a time where we should be fighting other companies to get your business. This is a time where all of us should be fighting together, for each other, for the customer, for our future.
As the world grows the future is scary. It leaves much to ponder. But if we all team up together then there isn’t a thing that could ever bring us down. America isn’t just a country, it’s a family. From here on out, we are here to fight for our family, for generations to come!

When the weather cools down, the hot water heater has to work very hard to heat up water for your daily use. During the summer months, or peak warmer weather periods sediment can build up. When sediment builds up water heaters begin to fail. This can cause multiple parts of the heater to go bad. Once a water heater has failed, it will take longer to heat water or it could stop heating it all together.
Duane Blanton Plumbing, Sewer & Drainage Inc. is specialized in the area of water heaters. Contact our company today at 847-855-0000 to repair or test your water heaters before they leave you shivering while you shower or bathe over these harsh winter months.

Winter time is well upon us. With winter comes cold weather, and pipes begin to freeze. According to the Chicago Tribune over a quarter million homes a year have rooms and homes flooded due to frozen pipes breaking and leaking. This is a good time to get pipes sealed an insulated as preventative maintenance, especially in older homes with pipes exposed to the cold environment.
The only option when pipes have frozen is to call a plumbing company with pipe thawing capabilities. During the coldest months unfreezing your pipes is Duane Blanton Plumbing’s specialty.
Remember to never try thawing your pipes with an open flame. Not only will it damage the pipe, but could start your home or building on fire. Other helpful tips: Keep garage doors closed due to pipes seldom being ran through garages, let cold water drip from pipes to keep constant water flowing, always keep thermostats at the same temperature all day, and never set a thermostat lower than 55 degrees. Above all have a safe happy winter season.
