Everyone has or will have to deal with an area code change at some point in time, and it is costly. Is is possible to calculate the cost of lost business because client(s) cannot reach you and assume you are no longer in business ? A toll free number is the solution.

I would be interested in such a fan if it is indeed of stainless construction. We have had occasion to take old fans back to the yard where we have installed new units, we have found them useful for training. Last fall we were contacted by a production company filming a movie with Eminem...

Congratulations Dominic ! Our first job was a pizzeria owned by a friend, I'm looking at that first dollar framed for our benefit and inspiration - "#1, Good Luck Shawn, Make $$Millions$$ More !!". We often reflect on that initial service that took over (5) hours that is now down to under...

I have located prospective clients that have washwater systems manufactured by Seco, Gaylord, and Avtec. In addition to exhaust cleaning services I would like to submit a comprehensive proposal to include repairs to the systems and a chemical program. Can someone direct me to resource(s) in...

Hello David ! We find redundancy most effective. We have a couple of systems in use with good success. Currently we use rechargable Streamlights (Syclones & Poly Stingers) that we back-up with a 3 "D" cell Mag-Lite, backed up by a 2 "AA" cell Mag-Lite. The Streamlights run about $100 and...

Can someone suggest a good manual chemical pump for use in 55 ghallon drums that is good for the long haul ?

I'm more than a little curious...WHAT WAS THE END RESULT OF THIS JOB ?????

Jeff, If I have read your post correctly you are considering spending $5400 for a machine ?!? There are catalog order companies that offer skid mounted hot units for $3000-$3500 that have good components (18 hp Kohler or Briggs w/20 amp chargers, SDC Burners, General/Interpump). Take $500 of...

Jeff, We have found that the best tools after chemical are heat and water volume. Sounds like you are on the right track, I would be more inclined to push 5 to 5 1/2 gallons per minute at 3000 to 3500 and go with a superhot if I had a little extra in my budget. Steam is an added bonus but true...

We are setting up a new covered utility trailer. We have decided to have the interior Rhino lined based in part on a post we saw here somewhere, great suggestion. I am considering lighting options for our night work. Has anyone had any success with ambulance sytle lights that run off of a...
