Are All Plumbers The Same?
Not all plumbers were created equal! Unfortunately, like many things in life, you get what you pay for. Plumbers that often promote cheap prices, in turn, often provide a cheap or inferior service. The sales tactic is to lure you in first with low prices, then add a lot more onto the job once onsite. In reality, it leaves most customers wishing you stuck with your gut and went with a more reputable company that maybe was more expensive.
It's essential to do some research and shop around when choosing a plumber since the right plumber can help you save time and money in the long run by doing the job correctly the first time, while a bad plumber can end up costing you more in the long run if they make mistakes or their work is not up to par.
We encourage that if it’s a bigger job like a sewer rehabilitation or Pipe Relining to get multiple quotes and compare apples for apples. This way, you can see the the difference that sets us apart from every other plumbing company & so you can see we are generally providing you with tremendous service, prices, and ultimately great value.

The risk of catching the COVID-19 virus from the faeces of an infected person appears to be below.
There is some evidence that the COVID-19 virus may lead to intestinal infection and be present in faeces. Approximately 2−10% of cases of confirmed COVID-19 disease presented with diarrhoea (2−4), and two studies detected COVID-19 viral RNA fragments in the faecal matter of COVID-19 patients (5,6).
However, to date, only one study has cultured the COVID-19 virus from a single stool specimen (7). There have been no reports of faecal−oral transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

The virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads mainly from person to person in respiratory droplets released when someone with the virus coughs, sneezes or talks. Less commonly, airborne transmission can occur. This happens when very small virus particles linger in the air for minutes to hours, potentially infecting others who are in the same area — even if the infected person is far away or has left the space.
Water or swimming does not transmit the COVID-19 virus
The COVID-19 virus does not transmit through the water while swimming. However, the virus spreads between people when someone has close contact with an infected person.The virus that causes COVID-19 hasn't been detected in drinking water. Water treatment facilities have processes to filter and disinfect water before it goes into your home.

The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies. Based on current evidence, the risk to water supplies is low. Laboratory studies of surrogate coronaviruses that took place in well-controlled environments indicated that the virus could remain infectious in water contaminated with faeces for days to weeks. A number of measures can be taken to improve water safety, starting with protecting the source water; treating water at the point of distribution, collection, or consumption; and ensuring that treated water is safely stored at home in regularly cleaned and covered containers.
