He aims, he shoots, he scores!

Today’s blog post is from Exponential Growth Strategist (http://www.ExponentialPrograms.com) Dr Marc Dussault (http://www.MarcDussault.com) who tells me that Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam setup a test with a fly printed at the bottom of the men’s urinals to ‘reduce’ spillage. From memory, the reduction was astonishing, 75+% reduction. The reason it seems is that given a target, men can actually aim quite well…

 Marc came across this version of the same principle in his native Montreal, Quebec at a local sports restaurant called La Cage Aux Sports (http://www.cage.ca/pointe-claire)…

Let’s face it - spillage or no spillage - this just looks like a lot of fun doesn’t it?

 

Psst! If you look closely at the floor - there’s no spillage!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plumbing Services Sydney – Toilet Leak

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

How Much Water Is Wasted When I Continue To Let My Toilet Leak?

When a meter’s flow indicator moves and you know that all the water outlet are off, both inside and out, you can be sure that somewhere in your lines, there is a leak. The continuous drip of a leaky tap or a constantly running toilet will add dollars and cents to your water bill in a hurry. When this happens, it is time to call for toilet plumbing services.

So you think you’re having a bad day?

Some days when you think you are home free, there is a trap waiting for you.

Have you ever had a day like that?

Marc takes business growth very seriously, but insists we plumbers take time to have a laugh, even at our own expense.

Thanks for the medicine Dr!

Aussie Bidets clean up Downunder

Monday, July 13th, 2009

Recently The Lone Drainer and Pronto were called to repair a leaking toilet cistern in Bondi Junction, I was surprised to see this toilet not only had a flush button but came with a remote control as well. The client informed me that this toilet actually contained a bidet built into the toilet seat, complete with retracting heated water spout, air dryer, and instant seat heater, all of which are adjustable to suit individuals comforts and anatomy. Whilst the bidet is a very popular plumbing fixture in Europe, by comparison, I have come across few during my many years of plumbing in Australia.

The bidet toilet seat is a compromise.

Whilst this can be deemed as a “luxury” item for most, our client revealed that a relative of theirs who has suffered a stroke also had a bidet toilet seat installed. This has proved to be of great assistance to them and their family when using the bathroom, with loss of mobility in extremities after the stroke.  What a great idea, a bidet toilet seat could be of great assistance for the elderly, disabled, infirmed or even people with sports injuries

The fastest dispatch and delivery of a plumbing emergency was…yesterday morning! 

Our next plumbing emergency had been put back, another sustained downpour had flooded the local streets. Visibility and comfort levels were poor.

We stopped for some morning tea, a hot coffee and some sustenance along a well known fast food strip, as we finished our break the mobile phone rang….

A local Medical Centre called, asking for fast plumbing service to repair their one and only badly leaking toilet. There was water leaking all over the floor, the waiting room was full of patients. The very polite receptionist was screaming for HELP.

Little did she know we were parked 30 metres from her front door and looking for action.

3 minutes after the phone call for emergency plumbing was received, our heroes walked through the front door of the Medical Centre, armed for action.

25 minutes later, the leaking toilet was fixed. The faulty water inlet valve was replaced. The leaking waste pipe was sealed. 

The receptionist was overwhelmed.  ”Lone Drainer, you really will fix our plumbing Pronto” she said.

When the Lone Drainer says Pronto, He means it!

What great service from an eastern suburbs emergency plumber!
