Don't Let That Backyard BBQ Backup Your Sink.

With summertime comes more family gatherings.  There are opportunities for more picnics and cookouts.  Take advantage of this time of year with the kids out of school to bond more with your family.  An important bi-product of those backyard events is the increase in food disposal.  You need to be sure that you have a safe and efficient way of disposing of all of the leftovers after a gathering at your home.

A garbage disposal may seem like an insignificant detail in your kitchen.  It is something that you may have taken for granted when you are cleaning up after a small dinner at home with just your immediate family.  You don’t pay much attention to it until it breaks.  You may find out the hard way that no sink is complete without a garbage disposal.

At a critical moment such as this, you need a quick turnaround to get it repaired or replaced.  Jo-Mi  Plumbing serving all of West Los Angeles is standing by to give you the peace of mind of having an efficient garbage disposal system.  Cost is minimal and satisfaction is guaranteed for the long-term.  If and when that day occurs where your garbage disposal starts making strange noises or breaks down entirely, do not hesitate.  Call your West LA Plumber, serving the area for more than 60 years, Jo-Mi Plumbing at (310) 473-8111.

Going…and Staying Green.

It is more important than ever to go “Green”. Conserving energy is something we must all embrace. Conservation is the key to sustainability. This is something the Amish, Native Americans, Homesteaders and outdoor-lovers alike are all aware of. We must, as a society, take only what we need and store the rest. How does this apply to plumbing?  Well, solar power isn't just a novelty of the late seventies. Solar power is a real way to save and conserve money and energy while leaving little to no carbon footprint.

Heating your home's water with solar power is something that has been possible to do for a few decades now. Concern of climate change due to the result of industrial pollution gave a more serious tenor to solar power. As a result, in 2014, over 100,000 American homeowners installed solar energy systems.  That number will rise every year as we pull together to save the planet. There are three factors driving this explosion: a glut of cheap panels manufactured mainly in China, a 30 percent federal tax break on installation through 2016, and the rise of third-party leasing companies like Sunrun that practically eliminate start-up costs for homeowners like Lieser, who can't afford installation on their own.

Have we convinced you yet? We are Jo-Mi Plumbing and Solar, serving all of West Los Angeles for more than six decades.  Give us a call today for more information about “the green wave” at (310) 473-8111.   Solar power is the way to go. Go green or go to the poor house.

Is a Daily Shower Hazardous to Your Health?

We have learned that the quality of our drinking water is important to our health.  The routine addition of chemicals may cause us harm as well.  Chlorine is a typical chemical used to disinfect public water to reduce bacteria.

When chlorine is used as a water treatment, it combines with organic matter to form compounds.  These compounds are toxic when consumed, inhaled, or applied to the skin.  Believe it or not, the compounds in disinfected water may be able to reach your stomach not only through drinking water, but also through daily showers and baths.

Filtration of your shower and bath water may be even more important than the water that you drink.  West Los Angeles Plumber, Jo-Mi Plumbing, has a solution to this and other water filtration concerns.  Give them a call today at (310) 473-8111, or visit them online at www.jomiplumbing.com.

It Is Time to Seriously Consider a Solar Energy System.

It is never too late to “think Green”.  The evidence is overwhelming.  The world is in danger of burning itself out.  Even if you feel that this will not happen in your lifetime what about the lives of your children and grandchildren?

There was a time, I suppose when solar power was a novelty.  It wasn’t considered a necessity as much as a luxury. Today it is a real way to save money and conserve energy while leaving little to no carbon footprint.  If you need to be reminded of what a carbon footprint is, it is the amount of greenhouse gasses that are emitted during the creation of products and services.  All of us need to be responsible for the reduction of such gasses.

Heating your home's water with solar power is something that has been possible for more than a generation.  Since then the concern of climate change is making most people reevaluate how they live and solar power has become an invaluable solution. The U.S. solar industry is on pace to complete its one millionth installation in 2015.

If you would like to reduce your carbon footprint and reduce your home's energy costs, contact Los Angeles area JO-MI Plumbing today at 310-473-8111 for more information.
