AttaBoy Plumbing CompanyThe weather forecasters are predicting extremely low temperatures this evening with the wind chill below zero.  Yikes!  Spring can't come soon enough for this plumber!

Just a friendly reminder to all of our friends and valued customers to leave a faucet slighly turned on to reduce the chances of your water pipes freezing.  Also, open up the cabinet doors under your kitchen sink and bathroom sinks to allow heat to reach those pipes. 

If you do end up with frozen pipes or water lines, call AttaBoy Plumbing, Heating and Cooling and we will get you unfrozen lickety split! 

Your plumber,

Gas leak forces evacuation of Noblesville Walmart

Wednesday, August 25, 2010 by Laura Behney

Gas leaks are serious.  Thankfully, this was caught in time.  Here's the story from WTHR from last week:

Noblesville - The Walmart at 16865 Clover Road was evacuated overnight because of a gas leak.

Around 3:30 Wednesday morning, an employee moving boxes in the rear of the store punctured a gas line.

Employees heard a hissing sound and then smelled the natural gas odor.

The manager quickly called the fire department.  They evacuated all the employees and one woman who was shopping.

It took about an hour for the gas company to shut down the line.

Just before 5:00 a.m., the all clear was given and everyone was allowed back in the store.

So follow the actions of this "on the ball" employee....whenever you think you smell a gas leak, leave the premises and call the authorities.  And of course, if a repair needs to be done, that's a plumbing problem and AttaBoy Plumbing can fix it!

Isn't "Hot Water Heater" Redundant?

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by Scott McCracken
Sometimes a client will call our AttaBoy Plumbing office and will say something like, "hi, this is Mr. So and So and I think my hot water heater in Noblesville is leaking." Now, if I remember correctly, my school teacher taught me that when we say something like, "I don't have no basement flooding in Zionsville" that to use both the word "don't", which is a negative, and the word "no", which is another negative, actually creates a totally different meaning to the sentence than the one intended. So, instead of meaning " I have a flooded basement in Zionsville" it means "I do not have a flooded basement in Zionsville." 

Using that same idea, would not the phrase, "hot water heater" mean that the water that was being heated was already hot? Think about it. . . . . .or not.

If you live in Beech Grove, Fortville, Noblesville, or anywhere in the Indianapolis area and need your WATER HEATER repaired or replaced, or have any other plumbing concerns for that matter, just give AttaBoy Plumbing Company a call. Or maybe I should say, "Don't give no call to AttaBoy Plumbing."
