Another Bellingham sewer clean out

This sewer clean out was a little more manageable than the 15' deep one we did last month.

A good sewer clean out is installed as close to the house as possible, which some plumber did back in 1989. Where he went wrong was to install it 12" below ground level and then put the stairs back over it.

I found the old clean out after selling the new homeowner on installing a clean out in order to clear the whole house sewer stoppage. Turns out the stoppage was at the joint the other plumber installed for his clean out.

All is good now. I did use the old clean out to clear the stoppage and installed the new clean out above ground level in front of the steps.

Got eaten alive by mosquitoes, too. I got 12 huge bumps on my arms from the li'l vampires.

What's in your faucet?

The plumber has a low water pressure call, okay? After checking all the usual suspects, he unscrewed the faucet screen and found this:

Sewer Clean Out Bellingham, Wa

Anyone who has had the a sewer stoppage has heard the question, "Do you have a clean out?"

This is a sewer clean out Ball Plumbing installed recently. Yes, it's 15' deep!

Ball Plumbing's website is getting better

Yikes! I didn't know the website was that screwed up! Most of the mobile function was gone along with most of the pages.

Good thing all you need is a phone to call a plumber: 360-647-2255 or 360-757-4455 will get us there pronto.

Sorry for the inconvenience of a terrible website....

(To be fair, some of it was a certain 3rd party installation, but I sure can't throw stones. Anybody who works with their hands--or in customer service--should have a hard time throwing stones.)

Ball Watches

There are other companies called Ball like the Ball Watch Company, for example.
http://www.ballwatch.com/

This watch is about average for their offering at just under $4k. That's a lot of stoppages..lol

Revamped www.ballplumbing.net

I got tired of the ridicule about the "baby poop brown" colors, the dead links, and the references to 1995 design.

I found and destroyed most of the "baby poop brown" except for a few locations where the color code was hidden by original coder.

I put the prices on their own page (www.ballplumbing.net/prices.html) and added a Specials page (www.ballplumbing.net/specials.html)

Nothing fancy, but better that it was this morning.
