Scuff marks can really be a nuisance on finished wood floors. The simple tip to take care of them is baking soda, warm water, and a soft wash cloth. It will have your floors back to normal in no time. This is especially useful around Prom or functions where black shoes will be worn on wood floors.

Flooded Basement
Chicago, Illinois is the 3rd largest populated city in the United States. April begins the the rainy season. When it rains, it pours. When it pours you may need a plumber. Higher than average rainfall produces an environment that overworks sump pumps. Overworked sump pumps tend to fail. At that time it could flood basements, bathrooms, kitchens. This can leave behind damaged furniture, appliances, carpet, and many things that you value. Contact us at 847-855-0000 today for a free safety inspection, or if you are in a plumbing emergency. We’re ready for whatever it is, whenever you need it.
“Directional Boring.” This is a process where a trench-less system is tied in under ground, minimizing environmental disruption. If you have a blockage contact JULIE to locate your line, and then contact your service company remove blockage. If you smell a gas leak contact NICOR.
The signs of a gas leak are: discolored vegetation, bubbling water, hissing sounds, rotten egg odor. Precautions to be taken are: leave area, avoid touching anything that creates sparks, and wait till you are in a safe area before using a cell phone.

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!
