Indianapolis DIY-er turns to AttaBoy Plumbers for help

Monday, November 8, 2010 by Buddy the Plumber
There are all kinds of Do-it-yourselfers....
  • Those who enjoy a challenge
  • Those who have a tremendous knowledge and ability for a particular task
  • Those who LOVE taking things apart and putting them back together....just to see how something works
  • Those who find the work relaxing
  • Those who are trying to save money
Sometimes, the DIY jobs go smoothly without incident, but other times,.....not so much.  That's when AttaBoy can come to the rescue as a customer in Indianapolis reports on CitySearch:

I was finishing my basement and had roughed in all of the plumbing except for the final phase of "stubbing out" the supple pipes, to be connected up after drywall. No matter what I did I could not get those final fittings (including a shower valve) to not leak. I was out of ideas other then to call AttaBoy.

They came out within 2 hours of my call and was able to fix my "DIY" issue before the end of the day.

I was very happy with the the service and the fact that the plumber answered a few of my other questions while he was working on my issue. I will call only Attaboy for any other plumbing problems.

So if you are a DIY-er and and your simple plumbing repair turns into a plumbing problem, call the expert plumbers at AttaBoy Plumbing.  We won't even mind if you take credit for the work....we'll never tell.

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."

A History of High Performance Toilets

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 by Scott McCracken
Okay, let's face it, every last one of us has at least a little bit of fascination with toilets...right?
I mean, think of when you were a little squirt and what some of your first words were: Mama, Da da, poo poo, potty. And remember how big of a deal your parents made of when you used the big boy or big girl potty for the first time?  When you made the leap from a little plastic model on the floor to the real deal with the flush handle that made everything disappear, you knew you were on to something!

Well, it doesn't stop there. We recently had a Fishers toilet repair customer who was so into his new toilets we installed that he wanted to find out about possibly adding a $1,100 toilet seat that he liked -- I kid you not, they're out there! While he changed his mind about the fancy schmancy seat, he certainly liked his new high performance toilets we installed. Those are some tough-to-clog toilets. In fact, I once installed one of those babies for a Carmel toilet repair customer who bought it to give to her husband as a birthday gift, complete with big red bow!
See. . .toilets can be fun :0)

You may be asking, "what is a high performance toilet?" Well, they used to be defined by how much could be flushed down them without a clog, but today it means being able to do that and do it using a minimum amount of water.  I'll tell you more about that tomorrow.

In the mean time, if you need Avon plumbers or Fortville plumbing done, give AttaBoy Plumbing a call.
