Should I Install an Air Purifier or Filter in My Home?

Monday, February 28th, 2022

Homeowners today are more concerned about the quality of the air inside their homes than ever before. After almost a year and a half of spending more time inside their homes than usual, people start to worry about what they’re breathing, as well as how they can combat the transmission of illnesses among a household.

The plain facts about indoor air quality for homes are hard to ignore: the EPA estimates that the air inside homes and buildings can be four to five times worse than the air outdoors.

Drain cleaning is an important service that plumbers offer to residential homes. Everyone deals with clogged or slow drains at some point, and when simple unclogging methods don’t work, it’s a good idea to make summoning a pro plumber the next step.
