If water gets in, will it dry out??? It can yes, if the source of the water has been stopped. It can dry on it own (eventually!) It can be dried with specialist drying equipment (recommended!) But when left too long you end up with salt contamination. This can’t be dried, this must be dealt with using a tried and tested remedial action. Missing vital steps in the reinstatement can mean you will have issues later. Don’t half ass it, don’t D.I.Y. , don’t ask a mate!

Did you know a simple garden hose like this one could pose a risk to our water safety? While it might seem harmless, a garden hose left unattended, especially near potential contaminants like sewers or runoff areas, can lead to serious backflow incidents. This happens if there's a sudden drop in water pressure, sucking non-potable water back into the clean water supply. #BackflowPrevention

⭐️TOP TIP⭐️ As always in summer there are a great deal of people installing outdoor taps for “£50-£80” Please ensure that they are fitted correctly and conform to current water regulations, it’s not just boring politics and “pointless rules” as one bloke tried to tell me, it’s a public health concern. As standard, regardless of if the tap has a built in check valve I’d recommend you check the following. - Always ensure that the pipework is sleeved through the wall to prevent damage and corrosion. - Ensure any gaps through the building fabric are sealed to prevent thermal bridging and conform to current building regulations. - Ensure a double check valve is installed in an accessible place alongside a service valve internally. - Any lengths of pipework that are run externally need to be adequately insulated in order to protect from frost and damage, as a further method of frost protection. I would always recommend isolating internally, disconnecting any external fitting or hose pipes, sprinklers when they are not in use through winter and fully opening the tap to ensure the pipework is empty. Help us help you, plenty of cowboys around giving good engineers a tougher job ensuring water safety is adhered to, and frankly it really grates my cheese 🧀
We’ve teamed up with the Met Office to help households keep their drinking water safe this summer, as part of their #WeatherReady campaign. We're asking residents to 'double check' their outside tap this summer and follow our dos and don’ts. ❌ Place hosepipes in drains, garden ponds, buckets or watering cans -contaminated fluid could be siphoned back into your drinking water supply ❌ Use a hosepipe which may contain warm water to fill a hot tub. Legionella, and other bacteria, can grow quickly in warm, stagnant water and cause Legionnaires Disease if inhaled through steam or water vapour ✅ Keep your hose somewhere cool and out of the sun ✅ Turn off your hosepipe at the tap and ideally fully disconnect it and store it in a clean, dry place when not in use ✅ Fit a self-closing flow control, such as a trigger spray gun, to help use less water and reduce the risk of backflow when left unattended – always gently run the water out of the hose without any attachments first, to avoid creating a vapour which could contain Legionella or other bacteria ✅ Fit a compliant double check valve to garden taps. The British Standard (BS EN 806-5) states check valves should be replaced every ten years. All plumbing products must be compliant, such as those approved by BSI, KIWA, NSF or WRAS. https://lnkd.in/ehQrRK3F

With warmer weather in the air, pests will be on the move to find summer homes. Make sure you’re not attracting them to your business by following these few tips: -Remove sources of food, water, and shelter. -Store food in sealed containers. Garbage containing any food should be placed in tightly covered trash cans. -Fix leaky plumbing and don't let water accumulate anywhere (i.e. trays, plants, or refrigerators). -Clutter provides places for pests to breed and hide. Get rid of stacked up paper or cardboard. -Close off or seal places where pests can enter and hide. -Call Kemco 🛠We fix it all...with one call! 📞(334) 356-2005 https://bit.ly/3jijv64 #kemco #kemcointegratedservices #kemcois #facilitymanagement #wefixitall #HVAC #restaurant #plumbing #portfolios #maintenanceandrepair #electrical #Southeast
